OTHER INFORMATION
Cookies:
A cookie is a small piece of code that a Web site transfers to
an individual’s hard drive. A cookie contains a unique identifier
that allows us to better understand your usage of our Web sites
and allows you to move about the site without having to re-enter
registration information that you have already provided. Cookies
are not linked to any personally identifiable information.
If you simply want to browse, you do not have to accept cookies
from any of our sites. However, if you wish to log in as a member,
or to purchase products or services, you must accept cookies.
You can set your browser to not accept cookies. See you browser’s
documentation for information on disabling cookies.
Advertisers that serve ads on our Web sites may assign different
cookies to you, and may track your usage of these ads. These advertisers
are not covered by our privacy policy and you should check the
advertiser’s privacy policy for their information collection and
use practices.
Computer information:
We collect certain technical information from your computer each
time you request a page during a visit to our Web sites. This
information is provided by your computer’s Web browser and may
include your IP address, operating system, Web browser software,
screen resolution and referrer Web site. This information, which
is stored in log files, is not linked to personally identifiable
information gathered elsewhere on our sites.
Stores listed in our online shopping malls are not covered by
our privacy policy and you should check the privacy policy of
each store you visit for their information collection and use
practices.
HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
Personally identifiable information:
When you register to become a member of a Web site, we use the
information you provide to create your member account. When you
download or purchase a product or service we use the information
you provide to complete the download or purchase, and to bill
your credit card. If you choose to receive communications from
us about promotions and products, we use your email address to
send you email communications and your address information to
send you direct mail. If you sign-up for a contest or other promotion,
we use your information to enter your name as a contest participant.
We use your phone or fax number, or your email address or mailing
address, when we respond to your questions, contact you for feedback
or to give you information on our products or services, or contact
you about billing, customer support or other administrative matters.
We may use your demographic information for targeted promotion
and advertising.
OTHER INFORMATION
Cookies:
We use cookies to recognize when a visitor who has registered
at a Web site logs in to the site. We use “session” cookies, which
expire within 30 minutes after a visitor leaves a Web site, to
enable shoppers that buy products from us, or from merchants that
use our Internet Store (including merchants listed in our shopping
malls), to complete their purchases. We also use cookies to reference
the affiliate URL that a customer linked from when the customer
buys one of our products after linking from a member of our affiliate
marketing program.
Computer Information:
We use computer information to analyze trends, track visitors’
movements and gather broad demographic information for aggregate
use.
What choices you have about how your personally identifiable information
is used
When you register to become a member of a Web site, or purchase
or download one of our products or services, we give you the opportunity
to opt out of receiving communications from us about promotions
and products. Each email or other communication that we send to
you includes instructions on how to unsubscribe from receiving
further communications. You may also withdraw your consent to
use your personal information at any time (subject to legal or
contractual requirements); however, we will then be unable to
offer you certain services such as product support and access
to member-only areas.
HOW WE SHARE YOUR PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
We will not sell your personally identifiable information, except
in connection with a sale of our business (see Sale of Business
below).
With service providers and partners:
We may employ other companies or individuals to perform functions
on our behalf, for example filling orders or providing other services.
These companies may use personally identifiable information to
perform their functions, but not for any other purpose. We disclose
your information to our banks if you use our e-commerce related
services and we collect fees from you, and we may disclose information
to our partners when you purchase an e-commerce partner product
that we resell, such as domain name registration services.
Sale of Business:
We may transfer your personally identifiable information to a
third party in connection with a sale, merger or other disposition
(whether of assets, stock or otherwise) of our business.
Legal Process:
We may be required to disclose certain personally identifiable
information from time to time to comply with a court order, subpoena,
search warrant or other legal process. We may disclose this information
to governmental and regulatory authorities without legal process
in the event of a national emergency. We may reveal your identity
if we believe that you are violating any rights or property of
ourselves or others.
How long we keep your information:
We will destroy your personally identifiable information once
we no longer use it for the purpose for which it was collected.
How you can access and change your information:
You can correct or update your information by contacting us at
privacy@qcommerce.com
or by calling (403) 291-2492 and asking to speak to our privacy
co-ordinator.
Security:
We use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol to protect your data
and secure your transactions when you purchase products or services
from us. We operate secure data networks protected by industry
standard firewall and password protection, and we have security
measures in place to attempt to protect against the loss, misuse
or alteration of your user data. Only certain employees have access
to the information you provide us.
Changes to our privacy policy:
If we change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on
our Web sites. If we decide to use personally identifiable information
in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected,
we will notify users via email. Users will be able to opt out
of any new use of their personal information.
Information for our merchants and affiliates:
If you are a merchant in one of our shopping malls or a member
of our affiliate marketing program and you have accepted or otherwise
entered into an agreement (online or otherwise) with us, you should
consult the agreement for additional privacy policies that may
apply to you.

information improperly, you may file a complaint by contacting
