This Privacy Policy (the "Policy") explains what
information is collected from visitors to the QuickForm Contracts web site located at
http://174.129.235.147 (the "Site"), why the information is collected and how
it is used. It also explains user options for accessing and managing information,
our
Site's data security practices and other matters. This Policy is incorporated into and
is subject to the QuickForms Terms of Use.
What Information Do We Collect? Why?
When you use the QuickForms drafting system, it works with your browser to keep track of
your answers during the drafting session to personalize your experience and present
relevant questions interactively. If you order a document, we use this data recipe to
generate a near-custom document.
If you order a document, we collect your name, credit card number and email address. We do
this to process and deliver the order to you. We retain this information so you can later
"Check the Status of an Order". If you experience problems or have a question,
we may refer to the ordering information to help resolve it.
If you "Check the Status of an Order," we ask for your password and email
address. We do this to establish your personal identity and respond with relevant
information. If there is a problem with your order, we may use your email address
or web site domain contained in your email address to
contact you.
We may alert you by email if we update QuickForms in a way that we believe you should know
about. Email alerts are usually prompted by changes in law or recent cases that make it
advisable for you to update previously generated documents. We may alert you if we add new
documents to the QuickForms system or if we build another system, such as
PrivacyBot.com, that offers a complementary service. We may put information
about sponsors in the email alerts, but we don't share your email address with
any sponsor or third party marketers. You can opt-out of email alerts by sending us an email.
We may automatically collect information about your computer configuration, such as your
browser type, operating system, IP address or ISP domain name. Technically, your IP
address could reveal or be associated with your personal identity. We review this
information in the aggregate to improve Site performance.
Our online tour guides (avatars)
keep track of your visits to avoid repeatedly displaying the same animated
message to you over and over again. We do this so as not to annoy you.
If you order a QuickForm Contract,
a cover page to the document may contain a QuickForms Message, notifying you of
discount legal services if you need to have the document fine-tuned or reviewed
by the author of QuickForms or another attorney at an additional cost.
With Whom Do We Share User Information?
If you order a document, we transmit your credit card data to our bank for processing. If
we encounter a problem with payment, we may review the order information with you and our
bank to resolve it. We do not otherwise disclose your credit card information. We do not
share your email address or contact information with third party marketers or
sponsors.
We may aggregate overall Site statistics, such as the number of monthly page impressions,
and discuss these aggregate numbers with potential sponsors. If you send us a testimonial
about QuickForms, we may display it publicly in our "Testimonials and
Compliments" section.
Certain Legal Disclosures
We may need to disclose user information in certain exceptional circumstances, such as to
protect against illegal hackers, to protect our legal rights, to address actual or
threatened illegal or harmful conduct, or as required by law or legal process (e.g., a
search warrant, subpoena or court order).
What Data Security is Used?
We offer secure pages to collect information on our order form. We also use
administrative, physical and technical precautions to help protect the confidentiality,
security and integrity of personal information stored on our system. While no computer
system is completely secure, we believe the measures implemented by our Site reduce the
likelihood of security problems to a level appropriate to the type of data involved.
How Long Do We Retain User Data?
Currently, we retain user credit card data on the system only long enough to
process your order. For your safety, we don't store your credit card number on
our server once the ordering process is completed. We retain other user data,
such as email address and documents ordered, in a secure area for approximately three
(3) years. We do this to support the "Check Status of an Order"
feature and other routine administrative tasks. We may alter this practice according to legal and business requirements. For
example, we may shorten the retention period for some types of data if needed to free up
storage space. We may lengthen the retention period for some types of data if needed to
comply with law or voluntary codes of conduct.
Management of User Contact Information:
If you order a document, you can later access your ordering information online. Simply
click "Check Status of an Order" at the Main Menu. This feature allows you to
download previously ordered documents. You can also re-enter incorrect ordering
information and resubmit the order for processing. The system does not currently allow you
to remove all records of your activity.
We will make a good faith effort to implement your data management requests. Note: we have
greater control over data currently stored on the system than for archived data. Once data
is archived and removed from the system, it may not be feasible to modify or remove data
for specific individuals. In those cases, our general data retention policy applies.
Your Consent to This Policy
By using our Site, you agree to this Privacy Policy. This document supersedes any prior
communication on this topic and reflects the entire and exclusive Privacy Policy for this
Site. This Policy is subject to the QuickForms Terms of Use, which takes precedence over
any conflicting Policy provision. We may change our Policy by posting a new version of it
on our Site. Your use of our Site constitutes acceptance of the latest version
of this Policy.
If You Have a Grievance:
We are posting this Policy in an effort to be a good web citizen. If you have a grievance
with us, please bring it to our attention. Write to: John Newman, Esq. legal@aol.com.
