Commitment to your Privacy

This site is owned and operated by Quire Inc. ("Quire"). We understand you value your privacy. At Quire, we want to make your experience online satisfying and safe. This statement governs information you provide to us or we learn from your use of this web site and tells you how we may collect, use and in some instances share this information.

Quire Information Collection and Use

Quire gathers two types of information about this website's users:

  • Personal information that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions, such as email and online registration forms to Quire. Personal information means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, your name, home address, telephone number, date of birth, and e-mail address. The types and amount of personal information collected for these activities will vary depending on the activity.
  • Quire also gathers non-personal information through aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout our sites. This non-personal information collected includes click-throughs, IP addresses, and usage data.
  • Quire gathers user information in the following processes:

Optional Voluntary Information

We ask you for personal information when you register for Quire. To register for Quire your email address is required. In addition you are provided the option to enter additional personal information. This may include information such as your cell phone number, home phone number, and home address.

The information we collect is used to provide you with the Quire service and personalize it for our users.

Usage tracking

We may track product usage data to improve the services we offer to our users. We may collect user traffic patterns throughout our site. In addition, we may track click-through information, including IP addresses, to our site from the reports and emails we sent to our customers. This information is collected to help improve site flow, usability, and to discourage fraudulent use. However, we do not correlate this information with the personal information of individual users.

Cookies

We may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser files of your computer. The cookie itself does not contain personal information although it will enable us to relate your use of this site to information that you have specifically and knowingly provided. But the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Quire may use cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described above). In addition, Quire uses encrypted cookies to authenticate the user on each page after the user logs onto the website. You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you've set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message with each cookie. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use this site.

Consistent with the federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without requiring parental consent. Any person who provides their personal information to Quire through this web site represents that they are 13 years of age or older.
