1. How We Collect Information

To provide and improve our Services and to support advertising and marketing, we collect information about visitors to our sites, users of our Services, the devices they use, and sometimes their locations.

We may collect certain information directly from you, such as when you fill out forms with a name or email address or other information. We may collect other information, usually about devices, browsers, or locations, automatically (without you typing it into a form). We may also collect information about you from other sources, such as if we purchase a list of contact information of people who may be interested in our Services.

You have choices about whether you visit our sites, install our apps, or provide information to us. However, if you do not provide us with certain information, you may not be able to use some parts of our Services.

Information We Collect from You.  You provide us with information about yourself when you:

• Register or log in to your accounts
• Start, sign, amend, add notes to, or review a Quiktract
• Initiate or receive a payment
• Establish a payment account
• Create or edit your user profile
• Contact customer support
• Comment on our blogs or in community forums

Examples of the information you may provide are: name, email address, mailing address, phone number, bank account information, date of birth, social security number and electronic signature.

You also provide us with information about others when you use parts of our Services, such as when you:

• Start or participate in an electronic transaction, such as a Quiktract or Quiktract Pay transaction
• Share information related to a Quiktract
• Add contacts to your account
• Leave messages
• Refer friends

Your main choice for this type of information is simply not providing it, such as by not creating a profile or not leaving a comment in a blog.

Information We Collect Automatically. We may use standard Internet technology to automatically collect information from you and your devices when you use our Services, even when you visit our sites or apps without logging in.

The information we automatically collect includes:

Device, Usage Information, and Transactional Data. We collect information about how you use our Services and the computers or other devices, such as mobile phones or tablets, you use to access our Services. Some examples include:

• IP address
• Precise geolocation information that you allow our apps to access (usually from your mobile device)
• Unique device identifiers and device attributes, like operating system and browser type
• Usage data, such as: web log data, referring and exit pages and URLs, platform type, number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages and content viewed and the order of those pages, the amount of time spent on particular pages, the date and time you used our Services, the frequency of your use of our Services, error logs, and other similar information
• Transactional data (non-content data about electronic transactions you start, review, or sign), such as: names and email addresses of parties to a Quiktract, Quiktract type, history of actions that individuals take on a Quiktract (e.g. create, sign, amend, pay) and information about those individuals or their devices, such as name, email address, IP address, and authentication methods

Cookies and Related Technologies. We may use cookies, which are text files containing small amounts of information that are downloaded on your device (“Cookies”), or related technologies, such as web beacons, local shared objects and tracking pixels to store or collect information. We also allow others to use Cookies within the Services as described below. Cookies can store your preferences, your username, and help tailor advertisements. If you're using our mobile app, we use mobile device IDs (the unique identifier assigned to a device by the manufacturer), instead of cookies, to recognize you. We do this to store your preferences and track your use of our apps. Unlike cookies, device IDs cannot be deleted. Ad companies use device IDs to track your use of the app, track the number of ads displayed, measure ad performance and display ads that are more relevant to you. Analytics companies use device IDs to track information about app usage. We may share device IDs with service providers who power certain features, such as voice recognition.

• Analytics. We use services like Google Analytics. They use Cookies to gather usage data and help us learn how people use our Services, such as the pages they visit and for how long and the website or page they were on before coming to a Quiktract website.
• Communication: From time to time we will communicate with you with regard to partially completed service requests or the status of a particular transaction that remains “open”. When delivering prizes or give-a-ways in connection with incentives, contests or other promotions, information provided can be used to verify eligibility.
• Tailored Advertising.
• Ads for our Products and Services. We may also use services, like Google and AdRoll to serve tailored ads about our products and Services to you on our Services and elsewhere. We allow these third parties to use and access their own cookies on your computer or other device(s) you use to access our Services. We do not have access to these cookies or related technologies, and this Privacy Policy does not govern the use of those cookies and related technologies.

Information We Collect from Other Sources. We may collect information about you from others, such as:

• Third-Party Sources. Examples of third-party sources include marketers, partners, researchers, affiliates (like companies connected to Quiktract), and others where they are legally allowed to share your information with us. For example, if you register for our Services on another website, the website may provide your information to us.
• Other Customers. Other customers may give us your information. For example, if a customer wants you to sign a Quiktract he or she will give us your email address and name.
• Combining Information from Different Sources. We may combine the information we receive from other sources with information we collect from you (or your device) and use it as described in this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect & Process on Behalf of Customers. When our customers use our Services, we process and store certain information on their behalf as a data processor. For example, in Quiktract Mobile when a customer creates a Quiktract for review or signature, we act primarily as a data processor and process information on the customer's behalf and in accordance with their instructions. In those instances, the customer as the data controller is responsible for most aspects of the processing of the information. If you have any questions or concerns about how information is processed in these cases, including how to exercise your rights as a data subject, we recommend contacting the relevant customer.

2. Use of Information

In general, we collect, use and store or process your information to provide our Services, to fix and improve them, to develop new services, and to market our companies and their products and services. Here are some examples of how we use the information we process:

• Provide you with the services and products you request and collect payments
• Send you records of our relationship, including for purchases or other events
• Market features, products, or special events using email or phone or send you marketing communications about third party products and services we think may be of interest to you
• Record details about what happens with Quiktract(s), such as who viewed or signed, the devices used and when these events occur

Other Uses. We may combine the information we collect (“aggregate”) or remove pieces of information (“de-identify”) to limit or prevent identification of any particular user or device to help with goals like research and marketing. This Privacy Policy does not apply to our use of such aggregated or de-identified information.

We normally collect or use information from you or others only where we have your consent to do so, where we need the information to perform a service with you, or where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may have a legal obligation to collect or retain personal information or may need the personal information to protect your vital interests or those of another person. For example, when we:

• Use information to create and manage an account, we need it in order to provide relevant services.
• Gather and record data associated with use of an electronic signature, it is to comply with regulations.
• Use names and email addresses for email marketing purposes, we do so with your consent (which you can revoke at any time).
• Gather usage data and analyze it to improve our Services, we do so based on our legitimate interest in safeguarding and improving our Services.
