The text to the right is aimed to give a plain English summary of our Privacy Policy. Please ensure you read the main text on the left, as the plain English summary on the right is just a summary and doesn’t capture all of the terms.

Welcome to JQF Designs, the online and mobile service of JQF Design & Print LLC. (“JQF Designs,” “we,” or “us”). Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information that applies to our Service, and your choices about the collection and use of your information. Capitalized terms that are not defined in this Privacy Policy have the meaning given them in our Terms of Use

Welcome, here is our policy on privacy. Our privacy policy, if you will.

  1. Information we collect and its use

We collect the following types of information about you:

1.1 Information you provide us directly:

We ask for certain information such as your username, first and last name, birthdate, phone number and e-mail address when you register for a JQF Designs account, or if you correspond with us. We may also retain any messages you send through the Service, and may collect information you provide in User content you post to the Service. We use this information to operate, maintain, and provide to you the features and functionality of the Service.

If you give us info about you, we will keep it and use it to provide our Service and make our service better.

1.2 Information we may receive from third parties:

We may receive information about you from third parties. For example, if you access our websites or Service through a third-party connection or log-in, for example, through Facebook Connect, by “following,” “liking,” adding the JQF Designs application, linking your account to the JQF Designs Service, etc., that third party may pass certain information about your use of its service to JQF Designs. This information could include, but is not limited to, the user ID associated with your account (for example, your Facebook UID), an access token necessary to access that service, any information that you have permitted the third party to share with us, and any information you have made public in connection with that service. You should always review, and if necessary, adjust your privacy settings on third-party websites and services before linking or connecting them to the JQF Designs Service. You may also unlink your third party account from the Service by adjusting your settings on the third party service. If you unlink your third party account, we will no longer receive information collected about you in connection with that service.

When you use our Service, third parties might give us some info about you, especially if you are signed into a third party account while using our Service.

1.3 Analytics information.

We may directly collect analytics data, or use third-party analytics tools, to help us measure traffic and usage trends for the Service. These tools collect information sent by your browser or mobile device, including the pages you visit and other information that assists us in improving the Service. We collect and use this analytics information in aggregate form such that it cannot reasonably be manipulated to identify any particular individual user.

To help us improve our service we keep info about how you use our service and collect anonymous analytic data about how you use our Service.

1.4 Cookies information:

When you visit the Service, we may send one or more cookies — a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters — to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser and lets JQF Designs help you log in faster and enhance your navigation through the site. A cookie may also convey information to us about how you use the Service (e.g., the pages you view, the links you click and other actions you take on the Service), and allow us or our business partners to track your usage of the Service over time. You can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some features of the Service may not function properly if the ability to accept cookies is disabled.

We may send cookies to your web browser (not the yummy kind) to help you use JQF Designs. If you would like to adjust your cookie settings, please consult your browser instructions.

1.5 Log file information:

Your browser or mobile device each time you access the Service automatically reports log file information. When you use our Service, our servers automatically record certain log file information. These server logs may include anonymous information such as your web request, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, referring / exit pages and URLs, number of clicks and how you interact with links on the Service, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed, and other such information.

Whenever you load a page from JQF Designs, your browser sends us info about itself and your interactions with our Service. That info gets stored on our servers.

1.6 Clear gifs/web beacons information:

When you use the Service, we may employ clear GIFs (also known as web beacons), which are used to anonymously track the online usage patterns of our Users. In addition, we may also use clear GIFs in HTML-based emails sent to our users to track, which emails are opened and which links are clicked by recipients. This information allows for more accurate reporting and improvement of the Service.

We might do clever stuff with images in order to check how many people open our emails and visit our site.

1.7 Device identifiers:

When you access the Service by or through a mobile device (including but not limited to smart-phones or tablets), we may access, collect, monitor and/or remotely store one or more “device identifiers,” such as a universally unique identifier (“UUID”). Device identifiers are small data files or similar data structures stored on or associated with your mobile device, which uniquely identify your mobile device. A device identifier may be data stored in connection with the device hardware, data stored in connection with the device’s operating system or other software, or data sent to the device by JQF Designs. A device identifier may convey information to us about how you browse and use the Service. A device identifier may remain persistently on your device, to help you log in faster and enhance your navigation through the Service. Some features of the Service may not function properly if use or availability of device identifiers is impaired or disabled.

In order to track how different people are using our Service we might store a unique ID on your mobile that helps us do that.

1.8 Location data:

When you access the Service by or through a mobile device, we may access, collect, monitor and/or remotely store “location data,” which may include GPS coordinates (e.g. latitude and/or longitude) or similar information regarding the location of your mobile device. Location data may convey to us information about how you browse and use the Service. Some features of the Service, particularly location-based services, may not function properly if use or availability of location data is impaired or disabled.

Your mobile device can give us information about where you are. We’ll try and use this to offer you better service.

1.9 Commercial and marketing communications:

We use the information we collect or receive to communicate directly with you. We may send you emails containing newsletters, promotions and special offers. If you do not want to receive such email messages, you will be given the option to opt out or change your preferences. We also use your information to send you Service-related emails (e.g., account verification, purchase and billing confirmations and reminders, changes/updates to features of the Service, technical and security notices). You may not opt out of Service-related e-mails.

Every now and then we’d like to send you stuff that we think you’d find useful when using JQF Designs. If that annoys you, you can easily tell us not to, and we’ll stop. We will, however, continue to send you important notifications regarding your account and the Service.

1.10 Use of certain service type information we collect about you:

We use or may use cookies, log file, device identifiers, location data and clear gifs information to: (a) remember information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the site; (b) provide custom, personalized content and information; (c) to provide and monitor the effectiveness of our Service; (d) monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors, traffic, and demographic patterns; (e) diagnose or fix technology problems; (f) help you efficiently access your information after you sign in; (g) to provide advertising to your browser or device, and (h) automatically update the JQF Designs application on your devices.

In order to provide our Service and make your user experience as enjoyable as possible, we’ll have to use some of the aforementioned info.

  1. How we store and protect your data

Storage and Processing: Your information collected through the Service may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which JQF Designs or its subsidiaries, affiliates or service providers maintain facilities. JQF Designs may transfer information that we collect about you, including personal information, to affiliated entities, or to other third parties across borders and from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around the world. If you are located in the European Union or other regions with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, please note that we may transfer information, including personal information, to a country and jurisdiction that does not have the same data protection laws as your jurisdiction, and you consent to the transfer of information to the U.S. or any other country in which JQF Designs or its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates or service providers maintain facilities and the use and disclosure of information about you as described in this Privacy Policy.

To run our service we’ll have to use computers all over the world. This means your information might be transferred to the US, Australia, Europe and anywhere else the service is operated.

  1. Keeping your information safe:

JQF Designs cares about the security of your information, and uses commercially reasonable safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of all information collected through the Service. To protect your privacy and security, we take reasonable steps (such as requesting a unique password) to verify your identity before granting you access to your account. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information, and for controlling access to your email communications from JQF Designs, at all times. However, JQF Designs cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to JQF Designs or guarantee that information on the Service may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed. Your privacy settings may also be affected by changes to the functionality of third party sites and services that you add to the JQF Designs Service, such as social networks. JQF Designs is not responsible for the functionality or security measures of any third party.

We care about the safety of your data and, we have implemented industry recognized measures to protect it, but unfortunately we can’t guarantee that nothing bad will ever happen to it. (A troop of rabid baboons springs to mind).

  1. Compromise of information:

In the event that any information under our control is compromised as a result of a breach of security, JQF Designs will take reasonable steps to investigate the situation and where appropriate, notify those individuals whose information may have been compromised and take other steps, in accordance with any applicable laws and regulations.

If there is a breach of our security we will investigate it and let any affected users know.

  1. Your choices about your information

6.1 You control your account information and settings:

You may update your account information and email-communication preferences at any time by logging in to your account and changing your profile settings. You can also stop receiving promotional email communications from us by clicking on the “unsubscribe link” provided in such communications. We make every effort to promptly process all unsubscribe requests. As noted above, you may not opt out of Service-related communications (e.g., account verification, purchase and billing confirmations and reminders, changes/updates to features of the Service, technical and security notices). If you have any questions about reviewing or modifying your account information, you can contact us directly at community@JQF Designs.com

You have control over your account settings, such as your account information and email notifications, but there’s some important stuff we’ll always send you.

6.2 Opting out of collection of your information for Tracking / Advertising:

Please refer to your mobile device or browser’s technical information for instructions on how to delete and disable cookies, and other tracking/recording tools. Depending on your type of device, it may not be possible to delete or disable tracking mechanisms on your mobile device.

However, doing so may disable many of the features available through the Service. If you have any questions about opting out of the collection of cookies and other tracking/recording tools, you can contact us directly at community@JQF Designs.com

If you want us to stop collecting information about you, there may be some settings you can adjust in your browser or device. But JQF Designs might be pretty boring without it.

  1. How long we keep your User Content:

Following termination or deactivation of your User account, JQF Designs may retain your profile information and User Content for a commercially reasonable time for backup, archival, or audit purposes.

This one is short.

  1. Children’s privacy

JQF Designs does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13 and the Service and its content are not directed at children under the age of 13. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at community@JQF Designs.com.

Like many other things in life, parents and guardians have control over how children use JQF Designs. We don’t want children to upload personal information and we’ll delete that information if we learn about it.

  1. Links to other websites and services

We are not responsible for the practices employed by websites or services linked to or from the Service, including the information or content contained therein. Please remember that when you use a link to go from the Service to another website, our Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites or services. Your browsing and interaction on any third-party website or service, including those that have a link or advertisement on our website, are subject to that third party’s own rules and policies. In addition, you agree that we are not responsible for and we do not exercise control over any third-parties that you authorize to access your User Content. If you are using a third-party website or service (like Facebook) and you allow such a third-party access to your User Content you do so at your own risk. This Privacy Policy does not apply to information we collect by other means (including offline) or from other sources other than through the Service.

The Internet. It’s made of links. If we post one on JQF Designs, we can’t control what happens on the other end. The same goes if you let another site use your data on JQF Designs.
