Sites Covered by this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to all the Quadriga USA Enterprises-maintained web sites, domains, information portals, and registries.

Children’s Privacy

Quadriga is committed to protecting the privacy needs of children, and we encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children’s online activities and interests. Quadriga does not intentionally collect information from minors, and Quadriga does not target its web site to children.

Types of Information We Collect

Certain information that identifies the type of web browser and language, access times, the domain name and specific pages visited will be automatically captured whenever a visitor accesses Quadriga’s website. Quadriga does not collect any other data or personally identifiable information unless the user provides it to us.

Quadriga's websites are primarily for business-to-business purposes and transactions. A user is required to register in order to utilize the full functionality of the website. Registration requires that you provide Quadriga with certain information that is potentially of a personal nature. For example, Quadriga will ask you for your e-mail address, name, company name, address and telephone number. You will also be asked to create a password that, along with your e-mail address, will enable you logon and use the Quadriga website in the future.

If you place an order, make a purchase, or sign up for a paid membership or subscription service, Quadriga will also ask for additional information, such as a credit card number and billing address, and/or bank account information. This information is used to create a customer billing account. Quadriga may also assign you a unique identification number that is matched against the information you provide to Quadriga. Your personally identifiable information will also be matched against any material you upload to Quadriga for print fulfillment.

Once you have registered with Quadriga, each time you visit our website we may collect information about your visit. This may include the pages you view, the links you click on, and other actions you take as you view and/or use Quadriga's sites and services. Should you place an order, request a quote, or utilize one of our interactive graphic design tools, all details of any such transaction will be captured.

If you place an order and upload a data file to Quadriga for print fulfillment, there may be personally identifiable information contained in this data file (e.g. a name, address, telephone number and e-mail address on a business card file). This information may be yours or that of someone else. If it belongs to someone else, we will assume that this person has authorized you to forward this data to Quadriga. If you are not authorized to send such data to Quadriga, you should not upload the file.

How We Use Your Information

Quadriga may use non-personal data that is aggregated for reporting about the Quadriga’s web site usability, performance, and effectiveness. It may be used to improve the experience, usability, and content of the site.

The Quadriga may use personal information to provide services that support the activities of the Quadriga’s members and their collaboration on the Quadriga’s standards and projects. When accessing the Quadriga’s members-only web pages, your personal user information may be tracked by Quadriga in order to support collaboration, ensure authorized access, and enable communication between members.

Information contained in data files uploaded to Quadriga for print fulfillment is received and stored by Quadriga, but we do not use this information for any purpose other than fulfilling the requested print job. Payment processing services may be provided by a third-party payment service, and a management company external to the Quadriga may provide support for the financial activities of the Quadriga. Quadriga may share your personal information with its partners to facilitate these transactions.

Information Sharing

Quadriga does not sell, rent, or lease any individual’s personal information or lists of email addresses to anyone for marketing purposes, and we take commercially reasonable steps to maintain the security of this information. However, Quadriga reserve the right to supply any such information to any organization into which Quadriga may merge in the future or to which it may make any transfer in order to enable a third party to continue part or all of its mission. We also reserve the right to release personal information to protect our systems or business, when we reasonably believe you to be in violation of our Terms of Use or if we reasonably believe you to have initiated or participated in any illegal activity. In addition, please be aware that in certain circumstances, Quadriga may be obligated to release your personal information pursuant to judicial or other government subpoenas, warrants, or other orders.

Some personally identifiable information that you provide to Quadriga must necessarily be disclosed outside of Quadriga in order for us to provide our services to you. For example, to ship an order we must disclose the shipping information required by the carrier.

Access to and Accuracy of Member Information

Quadriga is committed to keeping the personal information of our members accurate. All the information you have submitted to us can be verified and changed. In order to do this, please email us a request. We may provide members with online access to their own personal profiles, enabling them to update or delete information at any time. To protect our members’ privacy and security, we also may take reasonable steps to verify identity, such as a user ID and password, before granting access to modify personal profile data. Certain areas of Quadriga’s web sites may limit access to specific individuals through the use of passwords or other personal identifiers; a password prompt is your indication that a members-only resource is being accessed.

Use of Cookies

Quadriga's websites use "cookies" to enable you to sign in to our services, help personalize your online experience and to record your online transactions. A cookie is a small text file that will be created at Quadriga's request by the browser you are using and then stored on your computer's hard drive. By using cookies, Quadriga is able to store your preferences and other information on your computer. This saves you time by eliminating the need to enter the same information each time you visit our website or browse pages within a website, and allows Quadriga to personalize the website content on your later visits to these sites.
Automatic acceptance of cookies is typical for most browsers. You usually have the ability to selectively accept or decline cookies by modifying your browser settings. If you choose to decline cookies from Quadriga, however, you may not be able to sign in or use the other interactive features of our sites and services that are dependent upon cookies. For example, you will not be able to place orders online, as our shopping cart functionality requires the use of cookies.

Security

Quadriga uses a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example, we store the personal information you provide on computer systems with limited access, which are located in controlled facilities. Sensitive information, such as a credit card number, is protected through the use of encryption technology such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol, and is maintained in an encrypted database. Please note that we do not regard any of the information provided to us in data files uploaded to us for print fulfillment as sensitive information requiring encryption.

When you register with Quadriga the password you choose is only as effective as you make it. It is your responsibility to choose an appropriate password and to keep it confidential. You should not share this information with anyone, and you should always log out of a Quadriga website or service before leaving your computer to protect against others being able to access your information. If you believe your password has been compromised in any way you should immediately change it by logging on and following the instructions or by calling Quadriga's Customer Service for assistance.

Changes to This Privacy Statement

From time to time, Quadriga may update and revise this Privacy Statement to reflect changes in our policies, services and/or in response to our customers' feedback. When we do make changes to this Privacy Statement, we will revise the "last updated" date at the top of this Statement. Because we reserve the right to modify this Privacy Statement at any time, please make sure that you review it frequently.
