At qrcodecreator.com.co (also referred to as “we,” “us,” or “our”), we prioritize transparency and clarity in our data practices. This document outlines how we collect and utilize information across our website, its features, subdomains, and services (collectively, “Our Services”). We reserve the right to update these guidelines at our discretion and without external approval. Changes are documented at the document's end, and significant updates are announced on our website. Following these updates, continued engagement with our services signifies acceptance of the revised privacy terms. Major changes are communicated on our website with a minimum of seven days' notice before they take effect.
Our Privacy Guidelines form a critical component of the Terms of Use. Understanding the terms used in these guidelines, particularly those not defined explicitly, is crucial for their correct application.
We adhere to applicable data protection regulations when managing personal data. Here’s how we process such information:
2.1. Fulfilling Contractual Duties:
By utilizing Our Services, you agree to our use of your personal information (like your IP address) as outlined in our Terms of Use to provide these services efficiently.
2.2. Legitimate Reasons:
We process personal data for legitimate purposes, including analytics, fraud prevention, user experience enhancements, and service security.
2.3. Legal Compliance:
We collect personal data to comply with legal and regulatory requirements, address customer issues, or inform authorities.
2.4. With Consent:
Some services require explicit consent to use your personal data, such as writing reviews, creating user profiles, or receiving tailored offers. Consent can be withdrawn at any time through the provided mechanism, after which we will cease the specific data processing activities.
We employ several techniques to collect information about how users interact with Our Services.
3.1 Provided Information
You may be required to provide personal details to access specific features of Our Services. These instances include creating an account, writing reviews, subscribing to newsletters, or receiving promotional content. We ensure that you secure your informed consent before collecting any personal data, as elaborated below.
"Personal Information" refers to any data that can identify an individual alone or combined with other details. This includes your name, address, phone number, email address, and similar contact information. Whether an IP address qualifies as personal information depends on its application and relevant local laws. Your internet provider assigns an IP address to your device, which might be considered personal data. We uphold strict confidentiality and exercise caution when handling potentially identifiable personal data.
3.1.1 Partner Engagement and Online Forms
In our network, we collaborate with entities known as "Partners," whose products and services we review and assess. You may encounter additional opportunities, resources, and services these Partners offer. By completing an online form, you engage with these additional services, and the information you provide enables the Partner ("Lead") to manage your requests or interactions efficiently.
Click on the respective Partner icon or tab to engage with a Partner or learn more about their services. This will direct you to a landing page managed by the Partner that is accessible via different online platforms. Here, you may need to provide personal details such as your name, phone number, and email address, collectively termed "Landing Page Info."
Be aware that the Partner who manages the landing page will immediately access the information you submit. Thus, the Partner’s data collection and privacy practices will apply. We strongly advise reviewing the privacy policies of relevant Partners to understand how they collect, use, and protect your personal information.
3.1.2 Communication Channels
We may collect personal information such as your name and email address if you contact us through any communication methods, such as emails, online forms, or issue-reporting tools. Per sections 4 and 5 of our Privacy Policy, this information facilitates our response to your queries and supports other legitimate business operations.
3.1.3 Engaging with Our Content
We offer various content and activities, including blogs, reviews, and newsletters, that provide insights into our services, products, and related industries. Engaging in marketing surveys or subscribing to our newsletters might require you to supply personal information like your name and email address. Occasionally, this information could be shared with third parties under their respective privacy policies. Rest assured, we use your information exclusively for the purposes it was gathered.
3.1.4 Reviews and User Profiles
We enable you to review our partners or create a user profile on our platform. This allows us to understand your preferences better and customize our services to enhance your personalized experience.
3.2 Data Collection Methods
3.2.1 Device Details
We gather specific data from each device to ensure optimal compatibility and service enhancement across various platforms. This includes device type, language preferences, operating system, and browser specifics such as screen resolution and type.
3.2.2 User Interaction Tracking
To enhance our service functionality, we monitor user engagement on our platform, tracking actions like clicks, page views, and the timing and sequence of website visits. This data is shared with affiliates and partners to gain insights into user behavior. Users can log in through site links or external sources, and we monitor interaction frequency and timing on our platform.
3.2.3 Log Data Analysis
Our platforms utilize tracking technologies like pixel tags to gather information from server logs. This analysis helps us identify usage patterns and user interactions. Collected data includes IP addresses from users' ISPs, aiding in determining geographical locations and preferred languages. Additionally, IP addresses are monitored for suspicious activities through automated processes.
3.2.4 Tracking Technologies Usage
We employ cookies, web beacons, and pixel tags to anonymize users' online activities. Whether used directly by us or through third-party providers, these tools enhance the user experience by remembering preferences and interaction details. While users can opt to be notified of new cookies or block them entirely, this may limit access to certain functionalities. Pixel tags complement cookies by tracking and logging user activities for a seamless experience. Refer to our Cookie Policy for detailed insights into cookie usage within our services.
3.3 Third-Party Data Collection
Our services integrate data from affiliates, partners, and other organizations to boost operational efficiency. This data, acquired through various channels, including internal user identities and observed behaviors such as clicks and purchases, enhances service delivery.
Our click-to-call feature, aimed at facilitating service access, involves collaboration with external service providers for call routing and monitoring. We may temporarily retain phone numbers and personal details to optimize service efficiency and personalization, adhering strictly to permissions granted explicitly by users for limited and specific purposes.
Choosing to provide personal information when utilizing our services is completely optional and at your discretion. By participating, you automatically accept the terms of our privacy policy and our practices regarding data handling. We strongly encourage all users to comply with these guidelines.
You have complete autonomy over which services you engage with, recognizing that some may require sharing specific personal details. You can withdraw your consent at any time if you provide personal information. For details on how to opt out or retract your consent, please see Section 8.
We collect your Personal Information, "your Information," to effectively provide and enhance our services. This data facilitates better user interactions, personalized advertising, identity verification, fraud prevention, handling of inquiries and communications, and tracking and authenticating service usage.
We prioritize your privacy and only share your personal information with unrelated third parties under certain circumstances:
6.1 Data Management Solutions
We utilize external cloud and data storage services, known as "Data Platforms," to handle user data efficiently. This may involve transferring data to international locations, including the United States, for processing or storage.

Their personal data management and sharing follow their privacy policies, which are beyond our control. California residents can opt out of this data sharing, as detailed in Section 9 of our Privacy Notice.
6.3 Collaboration with Service Providers
Our third-party service providers, including customer support and communication services, have access to the data you share. These partners help us analyze user behavior and improve our service offerings. It's essential that these providers adhere to their privacy policies and maintain transparency with consumers. We recommend thoroughly reviewing their policies before interacting with their services. Please note that these companies may operate internationally, depending on the locations of their servers.

6.5 Cooperation with Partners
We may disclose your personal data to our partner entities when necessary or beneficial. This may involve adherence to legal, regulatory, or judicial requirements, responding to demands from authorities, probing possible violations of terms, tackling security concerns, or ensuring the safety and security of qrcodecreator.com.co, our affiliates, you, and the broader public.
6.6 Changes in Business Structure

The entity acquiring the information is expected to uphold transparent and equitable data management practices to protect your rights in compliance with the relevant laws.
Additionally, we may share aggregated or non-identifiable information with third parties under certain conditions. Third-party services on our site, such as Tableau and Google Analytics, help us collect and analyze data from user interactions—like clicks, scrolling, and typing—to improve our content and your user experience.
Our website uses third-party technologies that deploy their own cookies, regulated by their individual privacy policies. For comprehensive details about how we use cookies, please see our Cookie Policy. Links for further information on Google's cookie policies and opting out of Google Analytics are also available.
Our website provides access to various external resources known as "Third-Party Properties." These links take you to websites, documents, or files that are not under our control and are owned by third parties. When you use these links and provide your information on these external sites, your personal details might be accessible by third parties. It is important to understand that there might be data-sharing agreements involving qrcodecreator.com.co, our partners, and these third parties, potentially including your personal data. Be aware that our privacy policy does not cover these external sites. We strongly recommend reviewing the privacy policies and terms of use of these Third-Party Properties before engaging with them.

At the heart of our operations, we prioritize the security of your information. We implement stringent safeguards to preserve the integrity and confidentiality of all data handled through our website and IT systems. Our website is protected with SSL encryption, and we continually assess the security of our site and the data under our care. We work with third-party service providers to handle data transfer and storage, ensuring they adhere to high-security standards and certifications. Additionally, we enforce strict access control and monitoring to manage staff access to sensitive data.
Although we deploy comprehensive security measures, the open nature of the internet means we cannot assure total protection against all unauthorized access or cyber threats. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that our systems or services will be entirely immune to security breaches.
Our services are not designed for users under sixteen, and we strictly avoid collecting personal information from children below this age. If we inadvertently gather such information from someone under sixteen, we are committed to promptly deleting it. For any concerns or additional information about our handling of children's data, please contact us at [email protected].
Personal information transferred across borders may be processed in countries with data protection standards different from those in your home country. For instance, data transferred to the United States may be subject to varying privacy laws. We establish rigorous agreements with our international partners to mitigate these risks and safeguard your data throughout its journey. By using our services and providing us with your personal information, you agree to our privacy policy, which includes potential data transfers to the United States and other necessary locations.
We pride ourselves on our commitment to being leaders in privacy and data protection. Our primary focus is to meet our customers' evolving needs while adhering to the highest privacy standards. We continually revise our practices to ensure this commitment is upheld.
We aim to make our privacy policy transparent and easy to understand. If you have any queries, please contact us at [email protected]. UK residents can complain directly to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) via their website at https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/.
