The following discloses the information gathering practices for Conqrse, LLC (“Conqrse”)
QR Functionality
When you point the camera on any modern phone or tablet at a QR code, you’ll either be given an option to take some action, or your device will automatically take that action. For example, when you point the camera at the QR code above, you’ll see the option to visit a webpage. Some QR codes can do other things, like download some content or install an app.
When you use a Conqrse-powered QR code, we may collect some information about that interaction via cookies. For example, a Brand could display a Conqrse Powered QR code on a billboard, in an ad on TV, on the Brand’s product, or anywhere else, along with an invitation to scan it to get a coupon, find out more information about a product, or purchase a product (“Brand Destination”). If you scan it, your phone may visit a Conqrse Site (such as conqrse.io, conqrse.co) for a split second while on its way to the Brand Destination. At the Conqrse Site we may collect information, such as the IP address of your device, the time of the scan, information about the browser your device uses and about your device’s operating system. Conqrse may also use cookies and the other information collection technology described below in the Cookie Notice on that Conqrse Site and at the Brand Destination to collect information. If you scan the QR Code using a Conqrse mobile application, Conqrse may also associate your geolocation at that time with your scan.
Choice/Opt-out
Sometimes you have the opportunity to limit the personal information you provide. Conqrse provides you the opportunity to 'opt-out' of having your personally identifiable information used for certain purposes. This opt out option shall be available when Conqrse asks for personal information and when the opt out option is applicable.

In order to use Conqrse software, you must first complete the registration form and create a username and password. During registration you are required to give contact information such as name and email address. Conqrse uses this information to contact you about the services in which you have expressed interest.

Access to Personally Identifiable Information
If your personally identifiable information changes, or if you no longer desire our service, you may correct, update, delete or deactivate it by making the change on the "USER" area or by emailing Conqrse at______________, or by contacting Conqrse using the information located at the “Contact” page.

Conqrse uses customer contact information from the registration form to send the user special offers and updates from Conqrse. The customer's contact information is also used to contact the person when necessary.

Data Security
The security of your personal information is important to Conqrse. When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social security number) on Conqrse registration or order forms, Conqrse encrypts that information using standard internet encryption practices (HTTPS, encryption in transmission and at rest).
Conqrse follows generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to Conqrse, both during transmission and once Conqrse receives it. Nevertheless, no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while Conqrse strives to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, Conqrse cannot guarantee its absolute security.
In addition we urge you to use a unique password for our sites and services, keep them in a safe place and not share them with anyone. Also, we would remind you that it is best practice to sign off your account and close the browser when you have finished using our sites and services. Knowing that no security measures are perfect, even if all precautions are taken we cannot guarantee that your personal information will remain secure.
Retention
In general, we will retain your information in identifiable form only for the time necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information and the purposes for which we process your personal information, to determine if we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
Information may persist in copies made for backup and business continuity purposes for longer than original copies.
In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case we may use such information without further notice to you.
Privacy Rights
If you are a resident of Nevada:Under a Nevada privacy law, certain Nevada residents may opt out of the “sale” (as defined in that law) of certain categories of information about them to another person for monetary consideration to a person for that person to license or sell such information to additional persons. As of the effective date of this Privacy Policy, we do not engage in such “sales” of information covered by that law. However, if you are a qualifying Nevada resident, you may submit a request to opt out of future “sales” by us under that Nevada law by writing to us as described below. We reserve the right to take reasonable steps to verify your identity and the authenticity of the request. Once verified, we will maintain your request in the event our practices change.
If you are a resident of California:This section applies only to “personal information” about California residents, as that term is defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and it supplements the information in the Notice at Collection and the rest of this Privacy Policy. Personal information about individuals who are not residents of California may be handled differently and is not subject to the same California rights described below. This section also does not apply to personal information that we handle solely on behalf of a Brand or Creator, even when such information is about a resident of California.Californians have a right to direct us not to “sell” certain personal information as that term is defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act or CCPA. You can exercise that right by completing our CCPA Data Requests Form or emailing us at privacy@Conqrse.com.
CCPA Information and Deletion Rights
If you are a California resident, California law may permit you to request that we:
Inform you of the categories of personal information we have collected about you in the last twelve months; the categories of sources of such information; the categories of personal information (if any) that we sold or disclosed about you for a business purpose, the business or commercial purpose for collecting or (if applicable) selling your personal information; and the categories of third parties to whom your personal information was sold or otherwise disclosed for a business purpose.
Provide a copy of certain information we hold about you.
Delete certain information we have about you.
Certain information is exempt from such requests under applicable law. You also may have the right to receive information about the financial incentives that we offer to you (if any). You also have certain rights under the CCPA not to receive discriminatory treatment by Conqrse for the exercise of your CCPA rights. To request to exercise those CCPA rights, please email us at privacy@Conqrse.com. For security and legal reasons, Conqrse may not accept requests that require us to access third-party websites or services. We do not respond to browser-based do-not-track signals or similar mechanisms. We will take steps to verify your identity before responding to your request, which may include confirming that the browser in your possession matches the one associated with the relevant QR Codes, requesting that you respond to an email that we send to you, or otherwise verifying your name, email address or other information that will help us to confirm your identity.
If you are an agent making a request on behalf of a consumer, you must verify that you are authorized to make that request, which may include requiring you to provide us with written proof that satisfies CCPA requirements, such as an appropriate letter signed by the consumer or a power of attorney. We also may require the consumer to verify their identity directly with us.
CCPA “sale” of California personal information
Conqrse does not “sell” and has not “sold” personal information in the way those terms are conventionally defined. For example, we do not sell email lists or any other personal information in exchange for monetary value from a purchaser. However, the CCPA defines a “sale” in very specific terms, that may encompass some situations when a website or application uses third-party cookies and similar technology for its own analytics or advertising purposes, even when the website or application pays the third-party provider (not vice versa). Conqrse, like most companies, does use those sorts of services.
For that reason such as that, prior to the effective date of this Privacy Policy, Conqrse is considered to have engaged in such “sales” (as defined in the CCPA) of what the CCPA calls “identifiers” (like IP addresses), “internet or other electronic network activity information” (like information regarding an individual’s browsing interactions with a website or application), and “commercial information” (like the fact that a browser visited a particular page) to our analytics and advertising vendors, and to Brands and Creators. These practices continue today.
To make a do-not-sell request, please email us at privacy@Conqrse.com. You will need to follow the steps in our email response to complete your request. To exercise more specific choices regarding our use of some of our analytics and advertising vendors, please use the controls described in the Cookie Notices and Other Information Collection Technology section of our Privacy Policy. Conqrse has no actual knowledge of selling the personal information of minors under 16 years of age.
California Shine the Light Disclosure
The California “Shine the Light” law gives residents of California the right under certain circumstances to request information from us regarding the manner in which we shared certain categories of “personal information” with third parties for their “direct marketing purposes” (as defined in the Shine the Light law) in the prior calendar year. To exercise that right, please contact us as described below.
If you are located in Europe or the United Kingdom:
It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal information changes during your relationship with us.
Under certain circumstances you have the right to:
Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
Request the transfer of your personal information to another party.
If you want to review, verify, correct or request erasure of your personal information, object to the processing of your personal information, or request that we transfer a copy of your personal information to another party, please contact us.
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any unauthorized people.
In the limited circumstances where you may have provided your consent to the collection, processing and transfer of your personal information for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time. To withdraw your consent, please contact us. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose or purposes you originally agreed to, unless we have another legitimate basis for doing so in law.
