We are likely to share your personal information, and possibly some non-personal information, with these third parties to enable them to perform these services for us and for you.

You can unsubscribe from any of these email lists at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link or another option to opt out included in the respective email. We only send emails to people who have authorized us to contact them, either directly or through a third party. We do not send unsolicited commercial emails because we hate spam as much as you do. By submitting your email address, you also agree to allow us to use your email address for customer audience targeting on sites like Facebook, where we display customized advertising to specific people who have opted-in to receive our communications. Email addresses submitted solely through the order processing page will be used for the sole purpose of sending you information and updates pertaining to your order. However, if you have provided the same email through another method, we may use it for any of the purposes set forth in this Policy. Note: If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, we include detailed unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of each email.

How Long Do We Retain Your Information?

We retain your information only as long as we need it to provide CR Quality Services to you and fulfill the purposes described in this policy. This is also the case for anyone we share your information with and who carries out services on our behalf. When we no longer need to use your information and there is no need for us to keep it to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations, we will either remove it from our systems or depersonalize it so that we cannot identify you.

How Do We Protect Your Information?

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you place an order, enter, submit, or access your personal information. We offer the use of a secure server. All supplied sensitive/credit information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our Payment gateway providers database only to be accessible by those authorized with special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. After a transaction, your private information (credit cards, social security numbers, financials, etc.) will not be stored on our servers. However, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of the information you transmit to CR Quality Services or guarantee that your information on the service may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.

Could My Information Be Transferred to Other Countries?

CR Quality Services is incorporated in the US. Information collected through our website, through direct interactions with you, or through our help services may be transferred from time to time to our offices or personnel, or to third parties, located throughout the world, and may be viewed and hosted anywhere in the world, including countries that may not have laws of general application regulating the use and transfer of such data. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, by using any of the above, you voluntarily consent to the trans-border transfer and hosting of such information.

Is Information Collected through CR Quality Services Service Secure?

We take precautions to protect the security of your information. We have physical, electronic, and administrative procedures to help safeguard, prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use your information. However, neither people nor security systems are foolproof, including encryption systems. In addition, people can commit intentional crimes, make mistakes or fail to follow policies. Therefore, while we make reasonable efforts to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If applicable law imposes any non-disclaimable duty to protect your personal information, you agree that intentional misconduct will be the standards used to measure our compliance with that duty.

Can I Update or Correct My Information?

The rights you have to request updates or corrections to the information CR Quality Services collects depend on your relationship with CR Quality Services. Personnel may update or correct their information as detailed in our internal company employment policies.

Customers have the right to request the restriction of certain uses and disclosures of personally identifiable information as follows. You can contact us to (1) update or correct your personally identifiable information, (2) change your preferences with respect to communications and other information you receive from us, or (3) delete the personally identifiable information maintained about you on our systems (subject to the following paragraph) by canceling your account. Such updates, corrections, changes, and deletions will have no effect on other information that we maintain, or information that we have provided to third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy before such update, correction, change, or deletion. To protect your privacy and security, we may take reasonable steps (such as requesting a unique password) to verify your identity before granting you access to your profile or making corrections. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information at all times.

You should be aware that technologically it is not feasible to remove each and every record of the information you have provided to us from our system. The need to back up our systems to protect information from inadvertent loss means that a copy of your information may exist in a form that is not capable of being removed and that will be difficult or impossible to locate for us. Immediately after receiving your request, all personally identifiable information stored in actively used databases and other readily searchable media will be updated, corrected, changed, or deleted, as appropriate, as soon as and to the extent reasonably and technically practicable.

If you are an end user and wish to update, delete, or receive any information we have about you, you may do so by contacting the organization you are a customer of.

We reserve the right to transfer information to a third party in the event of a sale, merger, or other transfer of all or substantially all of CR Quality Services's assets or any of its corporate affiliates (as defined herein), or that portion of CR Quality Services or any of its Corporate Affiliates to which the Service relates, or in the event that we discontinue our business or file a petition or have filed against us a petition in bankruptcy, reorganization, or similar proceeding, provided that the third party agrees to adhere to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Information about the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

We may collect and use information about you if you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), and in this section of our Privacy Policy, we will explain exactly how and why this data is collected, and how we keep it protected against replication or misuse.

What is GDPR?

GDPR is a privacy and data protection law across the EU that regulates how companies protect data of EU residents and enhances the control EU residents have over their personal data.

GDPR is relevant to any company operating globally and not just to companies based in the EU and EU residents. Our customers' data is important regardless of where they are located, so we have implemented GDPR controls as our reference standard for all our operations worldwide.

What are Personal Data?

Any data relating to an identifiable or identified individual. GDPR covers a broad spectrum of information that could be used on its own or in combination with other pieces of information to identify a person. Personal data goes beyond a person's name or email address. Some examples include financial information, political opinions, genetic data, biometric data, IP addresses, physical address, sexual orientation, and ethnic origin.

Data protection principles include requirements such as:

Personal data collected must be processed fairly, lawfully, and transparently and only used in the way that a person would reasonably expect.
Personal data should only be collected for a specific purpose and only used for that purpose. Organizations must specify why they need personal data when they collect it.
Personal data should not be kept for longer than necessary to fulfill its purpose.
Individuals covered by GDPR have the right to access their own personal data. They can also request a copy of their data and have their data updated, deleted, restricted, or moved to another organization.

Why is GDPR Important?

GDPR adds some new requirements regarding how companies should protect the personal data of the people they collect and process data from. It also raises the stakes for compliance by increasing enforcement and imposing larger fines for non-compliance. Beyond these facts, it is simply the right thing to do. At CR Quality Services, we firmly believe that the privacy of your data is very important, and we already have robust security and privacy practices that go beyond the requirements of this new regulation.

Individual Rights of the Data Subject: Access, Portability, and Data Deletion

We are committed to helping our customers comply with the data subject rights requirements of GDPR. CR Quality Services processes or stores all personal data in providers that comply with DPA and have been thoroughly reviewed. We store all conversations and personal data for a maximum of 6 years unless your account is deleted. In which case, we delete all data in accordance with our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, but we will not retain it for more than 60 days.

We are aware that if you work with EU customers, you need to be able to provide them with the ability to access, update, retrieve, and delete personal data. We have been self-service from the beginning and have always provided you with access to your data and your customers' data. Our customer support team is here to answer any questions you may have about working with the API.
