This document was last updated

At QuinServe, we are committed to protecting your privacy and to
developing technology that gives you the most powerful and secure
online experience. You can travel through most of our site without
giving us any information about yourself. But sometimes we do need
information to provide services that you request, and this statement
of privacy explains data collection and use in those situations.
This privacy statement explains data collection and use practices of
QuinServe.com; it does not apply to other online or offline
QuinServe sites, products or services. Please read the complete
QuinServe.com privacy statement.
Collecting your Personal Information
We will ask you when we need information that personally identifies
you (personal information) or allows us to contact you. Generally,
this information is requested when you are registering before
entering a contest, signing up for the QuinServe Authorized or Lead
Agent Program, ordering e-mail newsletters, joining a limited-access
premium site, signing up for an event, or when purchasing and
registering QuinServe products. Personal information collected by
QuinServe.com often is limited to e-mail address, language, country
or location, but may include other information when needed to
provide a service you requested.
For example: If you choose a service or transaction that requires
payment, such as making a purchase, we will request personal
information necessary for billing and/or shipping, such as: name,
address, telephone number, and credit card number.
When you buy and install a new product, we may ask you to register
your purchase electronically. When you do, we keep this registration
information on file with any information you've already given us on
previous visits to our Web site. This is considered your personal
profile.
Use of your Personal Information
We use your personal information for the following purposes:
- To make the site easier for you to use by not making you enter
your personal information more than once.
- To deliver services that you request or purchase.
- To help you quickly find software, services or information on
QuinServe.com.
- To help us create and publish content most relevant to you.
- To alert you to product upgrades, special offers, updated
information and other new services from QuinServe.
We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services
on our behalf, including packaging, mailing and delivering
purchases, answering customer questions about products or services,
sending postal mail and processing event registration. We will only
provide those companies the information they need to deliver the
service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any
other purpose.
QuinServe may disclose your personal information if required to do
so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary
to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal
process served on QuinServe or the site; (b) protect and defend the
rights or property of QuinServe and its family of Web sites, or (c)
act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users
of QuinServe, its Web sites, or the public.

any other country in which QuinServe or its affiliates, subsidiaries
or agents maintain facilities, and by using this site, you consent
