Who we are

As QR Mono, we welcome you. We are the ones who always chasing after technological developments and are dedicated to delivering these technologies to everyone in the world at the same time. Technological advancements always need keen eyes and keen sense. The person has to know where to look, yet maybe she/he doesn’t know where to start. It doesn’t matter. Taking the first step is the hardest of all steps. We know. Yet, you took it. You are here and we are here for you. Welcome to QR Mono.

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Cookies and Other Technologies

QrMono’s websites, online services, interactive applications, and advertisements may use cookies and other technologies such as web beacons. These technologies help us to better understand user behavior including for security and fraud prevention purposes, tell us which parts of our websites people have visited, and facilitate and measure the effectiveness of advertisements and web searches.

  • Communications Cookies. These cookies are used to enable network traffic to and from QrMono’s systems, including by helping us detect any errors.
  • Strictly Necessary Cookies. These cookies are set as required to provide a specific feature or service that you have accessed or requested. For example, they allow us to display our websites in the proper format and language, to authenticate and verify your transactions, and to preserve the contents of your Bag when shopping online at qrmono.com. 
  • Other Cookies. These cookies are used to understand how visitors interact with our websites and online services, including by helping us to assess the effectiveness of advertisements and web searches. QrMono also uses these cookies to remember choices you make while browsing, so we can provide you with a customized experience. 
     

If you prefer that QrMono not use cookies, we provide you with the means to disable their use. If you want to disable cookies choose “Block all cookies” in browser privacy settings. If you are using a different browser, check with your provider to find out how to disable cookies. Certain features of the QrMono website may not be available if all cookies are disabled.

In addition to cookies, QrMono uses other technologies that help us achieve similar objectives. 

In some email messages QrMono sends to you, we provide a “click-through URL” that links you to content on the QrMono website. When you click one of these URLs, they pass through a separate server before arriving at the destination page on our website. We track this click-through to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure whether we are communicating with you effectively. If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, you should not click graphic or text links in email messages.

QrMono generally treats data we collect using these cookies and similar technologies as nonpersonal data. However, to the extent that Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or similar identifiers are considered personal data by local law, we also treat these identifiers as personal data in those regions. In addition, QrMono sometimes combines nonpersonal data collected from these technologies with other personal data QrMono holds. When we combine data in this way, we treat the combined data as personal data for purposes of this Privacy Policy.

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

What Is Personal Data at QrMono?

At QrMono, we believe strongly in fundamental privacy rights — and that those fundamental rights should not differ depending on where you live in the world. That’s why we treat any data that relates to an identified or identifiable individual or that is linked or linkable to them by QrMono as “personal data,” no matter where the individual lives. This means that data that directly identifies you — such as your name — is personal data, and also data that does not directly identify you, but that can reasonably be used to identify you — such as the serial number of your device — is personal data. Aggregated data is considered non‑personal data for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.

QrMono handles personal data whether you interact with us on our websites, through QrMono apps. QrMono’s Privacy Policy does not apply to how third parties define personal data or how they use it. We encourage you to read their privacy policies and know your privacy rights before interacting with them.

Your Privacy Rights at QrMono

At QrMono, we respect your ability to know, access, correct, transfer, restrict the processing of, and delete your personal data. We have provided these rights to our global customer base and if you choose to exercise these privacy rights, you have the right not to be treated in a discriminatory way nor to receive a lesser degree of service from QrMono. QrMono does not sell your data including as “sale” is defined in Australia. 

If the Data and Privacy page is not available in your region, you can make privacy rights requests at contact us page. 

There may be situations where we cannot grant your request — for example, if you ask us to delete your transaction data and QrMono is legally obligated to keep a record of that transaction to comply with law. We may also decline to grant a request where doing so would undermine our legitimate use of data for anti-fraud and security purposes, such as when you request deletion of an account that is being investigated for security concerns. Other reasons your privacy request may be denied are if it jeopardizes the privacy of others, is frivolous or vexatious, or would be extremely impractical.

Personal Data QrMono Collects from You

Personal Data QrMono Collects from You At QrMono, we believe that you can have great products and great privacy. This means that we strive to collect only the personal data that we need. The personal data QrMono collects depends on how you interact with QrMono. Descriptions of how QrMono handles personal data for certain individual services are available either in settings related to those features. When you create an QrMono Account, apply for commercial credit, purchase and/or activate a product or device, connect to our services, contact us (including by social media), participate in an online survey, or otherwise interact with QrMono, we may collect a variety of information, including:

QrMono’s Use of Personal Data

QrMono uses personal data to power our services, to process your transactions, to communicate with you, for security and fraud prevention, and to comply with law. We may also use personal data for other purposes with your consent. 

QrMono uses your personal data only when we have a valid legal basis to do so. Depending on the circumstance, QrMono may rely on your consent or the fact that the processing is necessary to fulfill a contract with you, protect your vital interests or those of other persons, or to comply with law. We may also process your personal data where we believe it is in our or others’ legitimate interests, taking into consideration your interests, rights, and expectations. If you have questions about the legal basis, you can contact the Data Protection Officer at Contact Us Page

  • Power Our Services. QrMono collects personal data necessary to power our services, which may include personal data collected to improve our offerings, for internal purposes such as auditing or data analysis, or for troubleshooting. For example, if you would like to access a song through an QrMono subscription, we collect data on what songs you play in order to provide you with the content requested and for royalty purposes.
  • Process Your Transactions. To process transactions, QrMono must collect data such as your name, purchase, and payment information.
  • Communicate with You. To respond to communications, reach out to you about your transactions or account, market our products and services, provide other relevant information, or request information or feedback. From time to time, we may use your personal data to send important notices, such as communications about purchases and changes to our terms, conditions, and policies. Because this information is important to your interaction with QrMono, you may not opt out of receiving these important notices. 
  • Security and Fraud Prevention. To protect individuals, employees, and QrMono and for loss prevention and to prevent fraud, including to protect individuals, employees, and QrMono for the benefit of all our users, and prescreening or scanning uploaded content for potentially illegal content, including child sexual exploitation material.
  • Personal Data Used for Personalization. If you choose to personalize your services or communications where such options are available, QrMono will use information that we collect so that we can offer you those personalized services or communications. You can learn more about how relevant services use information to personalize your experience by reviewing the privacy information presented when you first use a service that asks to use your personal data. 
  • Comply with Law. To comply with applicable law — for example, to satisfy tax or reporting obligations, or to comply with a lawful governmental request.

QrMono does not use algorithms or profiling to make any decision that would significantly affect you without the opportunity for human review.

QrMono retains personal data only for so long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including as described in this Privacy Policy or in our service-specific privacy notices, or as required by law. We will retain your personal data for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy and our service-specific privacy summaries. When assessing retention periods, we first carefully examine whether it is necessary to retain the personal data collected and, if retention is required, work to retain the personal data for the shortest possible period permissible under law.

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal data, taking into account the nature of the personal data and the processing, and the threats posed. We are constantly working to improve on these safeguards to help keep your personal data secure.
