Privacy Policy
Quanser Consulting Inc. (“Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”) values the relationships that we have with our users and customers, including you (“you” or “your”). Part of our commitment to our clients is a respect for your privacy and personal information which is information about an identifiable individual (as defined by applicable privacy or data protection laws). This privacy policy (this “Policy”) describes the kinds of personal information we collect about you, why we collect it, how we use it, how we protect it, and under what circumstances we share it with third parties. This Policy also describes the decisions you can make about your personal information. You may require us to change, amend or delete the personal information that you have provided to us at any time.
If this Policy changes in the future, we will post an updated version on our website at www.qdexapps.com (the “Website”). We recommend that you check this Website periodically in order to review our current Policy. You can tell if this Policy has changed by checking the effective date that appears at the bottom of this Policy. Depending on the circumstances, we may also decide to send you a notice electronically that the Policy was changed. If you continue to use your qdex account after the Policy changed or notice of the change has been given, you will be deemed to have accepted such changes.
Information We Collect
When you sign up for a qdex account or contact us, you voluntarily give us certain personal information including your name and e-mail address. In addition, when you visit our Website and use the qdex Play app (“qdex app”, “app”), we collect certain information about your activity on our Website and in the app, as described below under the heading “Our use of Cookies and Log Files”.
Users that publish apps using the qdex platform are given tools that may ask you to optionally enter your email address, or other information. Since users that author apps on the qdex platform can manipulate the code that is used to create their apps directly, there are opportunities available for a malicious user to inject code that would log your information. Since We do not have full control over how authors create and publish their apps, this privacy policy does not apply to any apps that are not created and published by us. You should check that you trust the author of a particular app before submitting personal information.
Using Information We Collect
We use the personal information that we collect about users that register using the qdex app or repository website repo.qdexapps.com in order to communicate with you for the purposes of confirming your registration, and in order to track the groups that you have joined. Users that create accounts that are assigned authoring roles may also be contacted in regards to their published content. In addition to these circumstances, we may also use your information to: learn more about you and your product preferences by looking at, among other things, the IP address of your computer and your activity on the Website and in the qdex app; and address problems with, and improve, our website and app design, services, and offerings.
In accordance with this Policy, we may share your personal information within Company. We may also share information with our financial, insurance, legal, accounting or other advisers that provide professional services to us. We will not share, sell or rent your personal information in personally identifiable form with any third party, except if, and to the extent necessary, in our good faith judgment, doing so is required to: comply with laws or regulations; respond to a valid subpoena, order, or government request; establish or exercise the Company’s legal rights or defend against legal claims; investigate, detect, suppress, prevent or take action regarding illegal or prohibited activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the reputation or physical safety of any person; or as otherwise required by law.
We may remove personal identifiers from your information and maintain and use it in anonymous form that may later be combined with other information to generate aggregated information such as site traffic or app usage analytics. Such anonymous and aggregated information may be shared with third parties.
Your Decisions About Your Personal Information
At any time you can contact us to: stop receiving e-mails from us; review the personal information held by the Company in connection with your account; withdraw your consent for our use and disclosure of your information; request a list of third parties to which the Company may have provided your personal information; close your account; and amend your personal information, where possible, by clicking Unsubscribe, emailing us at support@qdexapps.com, or by writing to us at
