QWASI gathers several types of information from visitors. It may gather “personal information”, or information that identifies visitors and information that can be used to contact visitors. Examples of personal information include the name, username, address, email address, telephone number, and IP address of a visitor. Some of this information, such as IP address, is gathered automatically when a visitor uses a QWASI website or cloud based service. A visitor may also voluntarily submit personal information through an online contact form, client log-in, and elsewhere on a QWASI website or in QWASI cloud based services.

QWASI may also gather “non-personal information” about visitors, such as information on how a visitor navigates the QWASI website and which pages he or she views, dates and times of visits, information about the device a visitor is using, the URL that referred a visitor to the QWASI website, search terms visitors used to find the QWASI website, and a visitor’s general geographic location (such as country and city). This information may be collected by QWASI using automated means, such as cookies, web beacons, and other technologies, or voluntarily submitted by a visitor through our online contact form, client log-in, and elsewhere on a QWASI website or in QWASI cloud based services. Non-personal information may be collected and stored in a manner that associates it with personal information, including for visitors who have enabled do not track settings within their browsers.

These companies may use information collected from visitors over time and across third-party websites and cloud based services. QWASI may also gather “customer-provided information”, or information that customers provide to QWASI about third parties, through the QWASI website or cloud based service. For example, a QWASI customer may provide QWASI with personal and non-personal information about individuals who have signed up to receive text messages from the QWASI customer by entering that information into the AIM or Marketing Center platforms.
