Qinzo Privacy Policy

At Qinzo we treat your privacy as if it were our own. Privacy is extremely important and you can rest assured that we will not disclose or share any sensitive information.

About Qinzo and this Website
Qinzo is an online dating service to help you build relationships online. The Qinzo basic membership is free to all qualified members.

In our online registration form, we ask you to provide us with certain information such as your birth date and the type of relationship you are looking for. For our paid services, we use 2CO to handle the actual purchases, so that information is not stored in our system.

At your own discretion, you may choose to post additional facts about yourself on your profile, such as your occupation, level of education, religion, marital status, etc. We do not require or advice to post personal contact information (like real name or phone or address). We might even go as far as to remove inappropriate contact information from one's profile or, in extreme cases, terminate the account.

In the course of using our site, we automatically track certain information such as your IP addresses and email addresses. Many sites collect this sort of information. We may tie your IP address to your personally identifiable information. We are not responsible for the personally identifiable information you choose to submit in your profile. We reserve the right to terminate the accounts of visitors who use these services in a manner inconsistent with our Terms of Use.

If you send us personal correspondence, such as emails or letters, or if other users or third parties send us correspondence about your activities or postings on the site, we may collect such information into a file which is only accessed by authorized personnel. We may also collect other users' comments about you in our complaints department.

If you choose to use our referral service to tell a friend about our site, we may ask you for your friend’s name and email address. We may automatically send your friend a one-time email inviting him or her to visit the site. Qinzo stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email and tracking the success of our referral program. Your friend may contact us to request that we remove this information from our database.

A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about the user. We use session cookies. A session cookie simply terminates once a user closes the browser.

Our Use of Your Information
We internally use personally identifiable information of our users to optimize our services, to statistically analyze site usage, to process member payment and monetary transactions, to comply with applicable law, to improve our content and product offerings as well as to customize our site's content and layout. We believe these uses allow us to improve our site and better tailor your online experience to meet your needs. We use personally identifiable information to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our Terms of Use.

We may also use personally identifiable information about you to deliver information to you that, in some cases, are targeted to your interests, such as recommended profiles and targeted promotions.

We may send periodic informational updates to our members via email. These mails do not contain advertisements or other messages that could be defined as 'spam'. At any time can you opt-in or opt-out of receiving our updates by going to your 'account' page and (un-)checking the checkbox.

If we are going to use your personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection, we will post a notice prominently on our site. You will have a choice as to whether or not we use your information in this different manner. In some cases where we post the notice we will also email users who have opted to receive communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices.

Our Disclosure of Your Information
We DO NOT sell, rent or share any personally identifiable information.

In order to maintain a healthy community, Qinzo cooperates with all law enforcement inquiries and with all third parties to enforce their intellectual property or other rights.

We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our Web site. We use a retailing company to bill you for goods and services. This company do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any other purposes.


Your use of Other Users' Information
You may not use other user’s information for commercial purposes, to spam, to harass, or to make unlawful threats. Qinzo reserves the right to terminate those who misuse other user’s information or who otherwise violate the Qinzo Terms of Use.

Control of Your Password
You may not disclose your password to any third parties or share it with any third parties. If, despite the foregoing, you lose control of your password, you may lose substantial control over your personally identifiable information and may be subject to legally binding actions taken on your behalf. Therefore, if your password has been compromised for any reason, you should immediately change your password. We strongly urge you to periodically change your password to help reduce the risk of unauthorized access to your account information.

Reviewing and Changing Your Personally Identifiable Information
Once you register, you will be able to review and change much of your personally identifiable information at Qinzo including:

Your email address
Your country/state
Your password
Your profile

Please promptly update your information if it changes by logging in to your account and following the screen prompts. We strongly urge you to periodically change your password to help reduce the risk of unauthorized access to your account information.

Third Party Collections of Information
Our policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. To the extent that you disclose your information to other parties on our system or other sites throughout the Internet, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the personal information you disclose to them. While Qinzo is working closely with our partners to ensure the highest privacy to you, we encourage you to ask questions before you disclose your personal information to others.

Security
Qinzo has security measures in place to protect and prevent the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. The security of your personal information is important to us.

We do not process credit-card payment ourselves, but leave that to the professional care of our retailing partner, 2CO.

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

If you have any questions about security on our Web site, please contact us.

Update/Delete
Qinzo Members have the following choices to modify or delete their information from our database:
  • Send a request to Customer Service
  • Log in with your password and modify/delete your profile;

Changes to This Policy
Changes to our privacy policy will be posted in this privacy statement, and may be posted on the homepage, or other places we deem appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We reserve the right to modify this privacy statement at any time, so please review it frequently. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here, by mail, or by means of a notice on our homepage.

Effective on: 20 March 2009
