With Whom We Share Your Data and Why

We may share your personal information in the following situations:

Security

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect and secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers behind firewalls. Any payment will be encrypted using SSL technology.

Despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security, and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information transmitted to our Sites. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for the circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Sites. You should only access the Sites within a secure environment.

Retention

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). No purpose in this notice will require us keeping your personal information for longer than six months past the termination of the user's account.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

Account Information

If you would at any time like to review or change the information in your account or terminate your account, you can contact us using the contact information provided.

Upon your request to terminate your account, we will deactivate or delete your account and information from our active databases. However, we may retain some information in our files to prevent fraud, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our Terms of Use and/or comply with applicable legal requirements.

Your Privacy Choices

You can control the information we collect and use in the following ways:

In certain jurisdictions, you may also have the following rights regarding your Personal Information:

Many of the above rights are subject to exceptions and limitations. For example, you may be located in a jurisdiction that does not give you the right to make these requests. In such a case, your request may not be fulfilled. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may reject requests that are unreasonably repetitive, unduly burdensome, risk the privacy of others, or would be very impractical to honor. If we are not able to provide the requested information or make the change you requested, you will be provided with the reasons for such decisions.

To exercise these rights, you can contact us via the contact information below or through our web form. Your request must: (i) provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative of that person; and (ii) describe the request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. We may need additional information to confirm your identity or your authorized agent's identity (such as your name, email address and date of birth) or to obtain proof that you have given your authorized agent permission to act on your behalf. If our verification process is successful, we will respond to your request within the time and in the manner required by applicable law. If we cannot validate the identity of you and/or your authorized agent or obtain proof that you have given your authorized agent permission to act on your behalf, we will attempt to contact you to inform you.

If you designate an authorized agent to submit requests to exercise certain privacy rights on your behalf, we will require verification that you provided the authorized agent permission to make a request on your behalf. You must provide us with a copy of the signed permission you have given to the authorized agent to submit the request on your behalf and verify your own identity directly with us. If you are an authorized agent submitting a request on behalf of an individual, you must attach a copy of a completed Authorized Agent Designation Form (or equivalent form) indicating that you have authorization to act on the individual's behalf.

We will attempt to authenticate each request. If we are able to authenticate a request, we will respond (if necessary and applicable) within 45 days of the receipt of the request, which time period may be extended for an additional 45 days. If a delay is necessary, we will contact the requestor within the original 45 day period and provide the reasons for the delay. If we are unable to process your request, we will inform you of that and (where possible) of the reasons for not acting upon your request.

If we refuses to take action on your request, you may have the right to appeal that refusal within 30 days of your receipt of our response by sending an email to support@qualitywindowsdirect.com and requesting an appeal. Within 60 days of our receipt of your appeal, we will inform you of any action taken or not taken in response to the appeal, including the reasons for our decision. If your appeal is denied, then you may contact your state's attorney general to submit a complaint.

If you are a resident of the State of California, you can learn more about your privacy rights below in our California Privacy Rights Notice annexed hereto as Exhibit A.
