Legal Compliance

In exceptional circumstances, and except as stipulated otherwise in the commercial agreements with you, we may disclose or allow government and law enforcement officials access to your Personal Data, in response to a subpoena, search warrant or court order (or similar requirement), or in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Such disclosure or access may occur if we believe in good faith that: (a) we are legally compelled to do so; (b) disclosure is appropriate in connection with efforts to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding actual or suspected illegal activity, fraud, or other wrongdoing; or (c) such disclosure is required to protect our legitimate business interests, including the security or integrity of our products and services.

Service Providers

We may engage with selected third-party companies and individuals to perform services complementary to our own. Such service providers include hosting and server co-location services, communications and content delivery networks (CDNs), data and cyber security services, billing and payment processing services, fraud detection and prevention services, web analytics, e-mail distribution and monitoring services, session or activity recording services, remote access services, performance measurement, data optimization and marketing services, social and advertising networks, content providers, e-mail, voicemails, support and customer relation management systems, and our legal, financial and compliance advisors (collectively, “Service Providers“). For a full list of third parties, please contact us at support@qwak.ai.

To the extent applicable, our Service Providers shall each be deemed as a ‘data processor’ or ‘service provider’ in circumstances where Qwak assumes the role of ‘data controller’; and where Qwak acts as the ‘data processor’ or ‘service provider’ for our customer, the Service Provider shall be deemed as our ‘sub-processor’ or ‘service provider’ (as further described in Section ‎10 below).

Accordingly, these Service Providers may have access to data concerning Visitors, Participants, customers and/or prospects; Service Providers access to data shall depend on each of their specific roles and purposes in facilitating and enhancing our Services. Service Providers may only use the data for such limited purposes as determined in our agreements with them. In addition, Service Providers may only have access to Customer Data if we have expressly listed them in our Sub-Processor List is available upon request.

Third Party Websites and Platform

Our Website may include links to third party websites, and integrations with third party services. Such websites and third-party services, and any information you process, submit, transmit or otherwise use with such websites and third-party services, are governed by such third party’s terms and privacy practices and policies, and not by this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to carefully read the terms and privacy policies of such website and third-party services.

Please note that Qwak is not responsible for and does not control any disclosure, use or monitoring by or on behalf of the customers, that itself acts as the ‘data controller’ of such data (as further described in Section ‎‎10 below).

Protecting Rights and Safety

We may share Personal Data with others if we believe in good faith that this will help protect the rights, property or personal safety of Qwak, any of the Users, our customers, or any members of the general public.

Qwak Affiliated Companies

We may share Personal Data internally within our group, for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. In addition, should Qwak or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates undergo any change in control or ownership, including by means of merger, acquisition or purchase of substantially all or part of its assets, Personal Data may be shared with or transferred to the parties involved in such an event. If we believe that such change in control might materially affect your User and Customer Data or Personal Data then stored with us, we will notify you of this event and the choices you may have via e-mail or prominent notice on our Services.

For the avoidance of doubt, Qwak may share data in additional manners, pursuant to your explicit approval, or if we are legally obligated to do so, or if we have successfully rendered such data non-personal, non-identifiable and anonymous (including, without limitation, the Anonymized Aggregated Information).

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies 

We and our Service Providers use cookies and other technologies for performance, tracking, analytics and personalization purposes. We may share non-identifiable / aggregated extracts of such information with our partners for our legitimate business purposes.

Cookies are packets of information sent to your web browser and then sent back by the browser each time it accesses the server that sent the cookie. Some cookies are removed when you close your browser session. These are the “Session Cookies”. Some last for longer periods and are called “Persistent Cookies”. We only use “Session Cookies”.

Whilst we do not change our practices in response to a “Do Not Track” signal in the HTTP header from a browser or mobile application, you can manage your cookies preferences, including whether or not to accept them and how to remove them, through your browser settings. Please bear in mind that disabling cookies may complicate or even prevent you from using the Services.

We also use analytics tools, including Google Analytics which may use cookies, bacons and other technologies. These tools help us understand users’ behaviour on our Website and Platform, including by tracking page content, and click/touch, movements, scrolls and keystroke activities.

Please note that if you get a new computer, install a new browser, erase or otherwise alter your browser’s cookie file (including upgrading certain browsers), you may also clear the opt-out cookies installed once you opt-out, so an additional opt-out will be necessary to prevent additional tracking.

7. Communications

We may engage in service and promotional communications, through e-mail, phone, SMS and notifications.

Service Communications

We may contact you with important information regarding our Services. For example, we may send you notifications (through any of the means available to us) of changes or updates to our Services, billing issues, service changes, log-in attempts or password reset notices, etc. Customer Users may also send notifications, messages and other updates to End Users regarding their or the End Users use of the Services. Please note that you will not be able to opt-out of receiving certain service communications which are integral to your use (like password resets or billing notices).

Promotional Communications

We may also notify you about new features, additional offerings, events, special opportunities or any other information we think you will find valuable, as our customer, User, Participant or prospect. We may provide such notices through any of the contact means available to us (e.g., phone, mobile or e-mail), through the Services, or through our marketing campaigns on any other sites or platforms.

If you do not wish to receive such promotional communications, you may notify Qwak at any time by sending an e-mail to: support@qwak.ai  or by following the “unsubscribe”, “stop”, “opt-out” or “change e-mail preferences” instructions contained in the promotional communications you receive.

To learn more, please visit support@qwak.ai

9. Data Subject Rights

Individuals may have rights concerning their Personal Data. If you wish to exercise your privacy rights under any applicable law, such as the right to request access to, and rectification or erasure of your Personal Data held with Qwak, or to restrict or object to such Personal Data’s processing, or to port such Personal Data, or the right to equal services and prices (each to the extent available to you under the laws which apply to you) – please contact us by e-mail at support@qwak.ai.

Please note that when you ask us to exercise any of your rights under this policy or applicable law, we may need to ask you to provide us certain credentials to make sure that you are who you claim you are, to avoid disclosure to you of personal information related to others and to ask you to provide further information to better understand the nature and scope of data that you request to access. Such additional data will be then retained by us for legal purposes (e.g., as proof of the identity of the person submitting the request), in accordance with Section ‎‎4 above.

We may redact from the data which we will make available to you, any personal data related to others.

If you would like to make any requests or queries regarding Personal Data that we process on our customer’s behalf, please contact the administrator of such customer’s account directly. For example, if you are a Customer User, and wish to access, correct, or delete data processed by Qwak on behalf of our customer, please direct your request to the relevant customer (who is the “data controller” of such data – see Section ‎‎10 below). Note that if you do contact us, we may share your communications with our customer; and that we may also share the contact details of the account administrator with individuals who sent us such a request or query relating to this account.

10. Data Controller/Processor

Certain data protection laws and regulations, such as the GDPR or the CCPA, typically distinguish between two main roles for parties processing Personal Data: the “data controller” (or under the CCPA, “business”), who determines the purposes and means of processing; and the “data processor” (or under the CCPA, “service provider”), who processes the data on behalf of the data controller (or business). Below we explain how these roles apply to our Services, to the extent that such laws and regulations apply.

Qwak is the “data controller” or ‘business’ (under the CCPA or similar laws) of the Qwak Website, CRM and Prospect Data, Participants Data and Job Applicants Data. With respect to such data, we assume the responsibilities of data controller (solely to the extent applicable under law), as set forth in this Privacy Policy. In such instances, our Service Providers processing such data will assume the role of “data processor”.

Qwak is the “data processor” or ‘service provider’ of Customer Data, which we process on behalf of our customer (who is the “data controller” of such data); and our Service Providers who process such Customer Data on our behalf are the “sub-processors” of such data.

Accordingly, Qwak processes Customer Data strictly in accordance with such customer’s reasonable instructions and commercial agreements with such customer. The customer, as controller of such data, will be responsible for meeting any legal requirements applicable to data controllers (such as establishing a legal basis for processing and responding to Data Subject Rights requests concerning the data they control).

For the avoidance of doubt, each customer is solely responsible for providing adequate notice to its Users, customers and any other individual whose data may be contained in Customer Data – including sufficient reference to the processing of their Personal Data via the Services, and any other information necessary to comply with all applicable privacy and data protection laws; and to obtain all approvals and consents from such individuals as required under such laws.

This Privacy Policy may use terms from laws and regulations worldwide. Such use of terms shall not be interpreted as an admission of applicability in connection with any law, rule or regulation. 

11. Additional Notices

Updates and Amendments

We may update and amend this Privacy Policy from time to time by posting an amended version on our Services. The amended version will be effective as of the date it is published. We will provide prior notice if we believe any substantial changes are involved via any of the communication means available to us or via the Website. After such notice period, all amendments shall be deemed accepted by you.

External Links

While our Services may contain links to other websites or services, we are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to pay attention when you leave our Services for the website or application of such third parties, and to read the privacy policies of each and every website and service you visit. This Privacy Policy applies only to our Services.

Our Services are not designed to attract children under the age of 18

We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children and do not wish to do so. If we learn that a person under the age of 18 is using the Website, Platform and/or Services, we will attempt to prohibit and block such use and will make our best efforts to promptly delete any Personal Data stored with us with regard to such child. If you believe that we might have any such data, please contact us by e-mail at support@qwak.ai

Questions, concerns or complaints:

If you have any comments or questions regarding our Privacy Policy, or if you have any concerns regarding your Personal Data held with us, please contact Qwak’s support at support@qwak.ai If you are a GDPR-protected individual, you may also have the right to lodge a complaint with an EU supervisory authority.
