This Privacy Statement tells you about our online and offline privacy practices.

Our primary goal is to help you understand what we do (and don’t do) when it comes to your personal information, so we’ve done our best to be clear. We’ve provided different ways for you to look up topics of interest to you. As a result, we may repeat important points.

In this statement we refer to our products, online services and web services, and apps (online, mobile and desktop) as “applications.” Sometimes we may refer to something specific like a “website,” “mobile application” or “online service” for clarity.

What this Privacy Statement covers (and what it doesn’t)

Websites and applications that link to this Privacy Statement are covered 

This Privacy Statement tells you about our privacy practices for our websites and applications that include a link or reference to this statement. It also tells you about our marketing and advertising practices, and applies to our offline practices.

Sometimes there’s more information in context, when you need it

Some of our websites and applications may display supplemental privacy or data collection notices that we share so you can make informed choices about what you want to do at the time you review the notices. For example, you may see a notice explaining a data collection program in an application, and your choices for participating.

Websites and applications that do not link to this Privacy Statement are covered by other Privacy Policies or Privacy Statements

Sometimes, websites and applications owned by Q3D Sensing may have their own Privacy Statements or Privacy Policies. For example, we may buy another company to expand our business, and need some time to fully integrate the company’s Privacy practices with the ones we explain here. 

Third parties

Third parties are responsible for their own Privacy practices. These include social media platforms or other company websites that we link to from our websites and applications. Be sure to read the Privacy Policies, Privacy Statements, Supplemental Notices, and Settings of all websites or platforms that you visit so you can understand their Privacy Practices and your options.

Terms of Use, Terms of Service and Software License Agreements cover issues like content

Websites and applications are subject to terms such as our website terms of use, application terms of service, and software license agreements. These terms can help answer questions you may have about the confidentiality and security of designs and other content you create, and the effect when you share and post content.

Please note that if you contact us to assist you, for your safety and ours, we may need to authenticate your identity before fulfilling your request.

Data supplementation

To help keep our databases current and to provide you with more relevant content, experiences and offerings, we may combine information you give us with information from public sources and trustworthy companies (such as our resellers and ecommerce providers, and business contact databases), all in accordance with applicable law.

For example, these sources can tell us about the company size and industry of our business customers, and also help us maintain the accuracy of our databases.

Making purchases

When you make purchases through our websites, we use a payment processor and do not receive credit card or other financial information (other than confirmation that payment in a certain amount has been made). We may collect contact information from you that we pass through to the payment processor to facilitate the transaction. Our e-commerce store is run by an e-commerce technology provider.

Contacting us

When you contact us to request services, support or other information, we may keep a record of the communication to help resolve the matter you contacted us about, and be consistent with our rules around data retention. 

Q3D Sensing product activation, connectivity, and automatic updates

We collect system information during the product activation process.

Many of our applications include features that require online connectivity to make certain features work. We will collect system information during these processes. Also, if you need to login to access our software or certain features, this information may be associated with you.

You can get more information by reading the terms of service or software license agreement that applies to the websites or applications you are using.

Certain of our desktop applications include features that allow you to enable automatic updates. Where these features are enabled:

• We may receive information such as whether the install was successful.

• We  may collect information that may identify you to your system administrator.

In-application data collection programs

• Software applications: Some of our applications include specific data collection programs. Depending on the application or program, we may associate this data with your personal information. Generally you will see a notice about this data collection in context, and you can follow the instructions to get more information and learn about your choices.

• Trial, preview and pre-release (beta) applications: For trial, preview or beta applications your limited or full participation in an in-application analytics program may be a condition of receiving access to those products. Please review the applicable Terms of Service, License Agreement (often called EULA) and any specific Privacy or data collection notice attached to a given application for more details. If you do not wish to participate please do not use these products.

• Mobile Analytics: We may use Q3D Sensing Analytics Programs in our mobile applications. We may also use third party analytics services to support analytics for some of our mobile applications. For details about a specific mobile application, please read the About section (iOS and Microsoft mobile devices) or the Legal/Privacy section (Android devices). You can opt-out of data collection for an application by following the in-application instructions. Unless the data collection notice in About or Legal/Privacy tells you otherwise, the control selection will be located in the application or device settings (iOS devices), the settings menu (Android devices), or the About section (Microsoft devices).

Advertising on our websites and in applications

Our websites and applications may feature ads for other companies’ products and services, as well as ads for our own applications. We collect information about ad views for reporting purposes using tools like pixel tags (for example, to see how many total unique views of an ad there are).

Please note that if you choose to click on an ad or participate in promotions of any third-party advertisers via an ad that appears in our website or application, this is solely between you and the advertiser and your participation is subject to the terms and conditions associated with that ad or promotion.

Learn more about how we do (and don’t) share information with third parties. 

Advertising networks

We may work with one or more advertising networks (each an Ad Partner) who use cookies, pixels tags, or other technologies to collect information in order to serve you ads and help us track results.

Examples of this information may include, but are not limited to:

• Websites you visit

• Mobile apps you use

• Preferences you may provide us as the application provider (such as language preferences)

• Your IP address (for purposes of determining your general location)

• Device ID, MAC address, and browser information

This information helps:

• Ensure that appropriate advertising is shown in the application or on the website

• Calculate and control the number of unique and repeat views of a given ad

• Deliver ads that relate to your interests

• Measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns

Some technology enables advertising to be temporarily uploaded onto your mobile device and then be replaced while you are online.

Our Ad Partners deliver ads for us, on Q3D Sensing and non-Q3D Sensing sites, and may combine the information collected or obtained from us with other information they have independently collected from other websites and/or other online or mobile products and services relating to your browser's activities across their network of websites.

"Do not track" and similar mechanisms

Some web browsers may transmit "do-not-track" signals to websites with which the browser communicates. Because of differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether they are even aware of them.

Participants in the leading Internet standards-setting organization that is addressing this issue are in the process of determining what, if anything, websites should do when they receive such signals. Q3D Sensing currently does not take action in response to these signals. If and when a final standard is established and accepted, we will reassess how to respond to these signals.

For information about cookies, web beacons and similar technologies, please read our Cookie Policy. 

Social networking pages

We have pages on many social networking platforms where you can visit and communicate with us. We may collect information when you visit our social networking pages, for example if you follow or "like" us.

Be sure to review the Privacy Policies and Data Usage Policies of any social networking platform you use to learn more about its personal information practices and your options.

Social networking widgets and third party tools

Our websites and applications may include buttons, tools, or content that links to another company’s services (for example, a Facebook "Like" button on a webpage or a Google Maps feature in an application). We may collect information about your use of these features through our "Like" button on a webpage or a Google Maps feature in an application). We may collect information about your use of these features through our application usage metrics and analytics programs. 

In addition, when you see or interact with these buttons, tools, or content, or view our webpage or application containing them, some information from your browser may automatically be sent to the other company. Please read that company’s Privacy Policy or Privacy Statement for more information.

Cookie Policy

We use cookies and similar technologies (such as pixel tags). Here is more information about cookies, as well as your choices.

• What "cookies" are

• Types of cookies

• Why cookies are useful

• Who sets cookies

• Your choices about cookies

What "cookies" are

A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to a browser from a web server and gets saved on the hard drive of the computer that you are using (in the browser folders). Cookies collect standard information from your browser such as the following:

• Browser type

• Browser language

• The website address you came from when you visited our website.

Cookies may also collect information about:

• Your Internet Protocol (IP) address

• Your clickstream behavior – this might include

• The pages you view

• The links you click

• The date and time of your visit or request

Cookies may uniquely identify your browser or your account, but they do not necessarily identify you personally. Cookies can also be used to help store personal information, for example where you ask us to "remember" you or keep you logged in.

There are session cookies and persistent cookies.

• Session cookies only last during your session on a website – when you close your browser to end a session, the cookies end as well.

• Persistent cookies last longer, and are used to remember things over time, such as your language preference or that you are a unique user who is returning to a website.

To learn more about cookies and other automatic data collection tools, please visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

Types of cookies

We use what you can think of as three different types of cookies:

Strictly necessary

When you request a service or action through our websites or applications, these cookies are strictly necessary to:

• Enable services (for example by letting you stay logged in)

• Provide information that you requested

• Allow you to use essential features

Here are some examples – cookies that:

• Make an online shopping cart work

• Support customer support chat functions

• Improve security or prevent fraud

• If you disable these types of cookies, we may not be able to fulfill your request.

Functional and performance

You make choices that make your experience with our websites and applications better for you and allow us to understand how our end users move around, use and interact with our websites and applications.

Functional and performance cookies help us remember your choices, and can improve your overall experience and enhance our services by giving us non-personal, statistical information about the effectiveness of our operations and promotional campaigns.

Here are some examples of when we would use this type of cookie:

• To remember your language or country preference

• In marketing emails, so we can see whether you open them or click on links in them

• On websites or in online services to understand how many new and returning users are using them

If you disable or opt-out of these cookies or other technologies, it may prevent you from using certain parts of our websites and applications, and it may reduce the support or information that we can provide you.

Marketing

We use these types of cookies to collect information about your browsing or shopping history in order to tailor relevant marketing according to how you use our websites and applications.

We may share this information with third parties to help create and deliver advertising personalized to you and your interests.

If you disable or opt-out of these cookies, it may prevent you from using certain parts of our websites and applications, and it may prevent us from offering you some of our services.

Why cookies are useful

Cookies help us remember information that makes your experience faster and more useful to you … even if we don’t know exactly who you are.

Here are a few examples of how cookies can make your experience better. The application or website you use:

• Remembers your language choice

• Keeps items in your shopping cart

• Shows you content that will be more likely to be useful and interesting to you

• Makes the "remember me" option work

• Helps you log in

Cookies are useful for us, too. They can let us know things like:

• How many unique visitors visit our websites

• Whether someone is a new or repeat visitor

• Which area or content on a particular website was most viewed or downloaded

Who sets cookies

We and our service providers (acting on our behalf) set cookies.

Third parties may also set cookies that we do not control. For example, when you make purchases, our ecommerce vendors may use cookies. You can review our ecommerce vendor’s Privacy Policy or Privacy Statement and Terms of Sale, or Terms and Conditions at checkout to understand their practices and your choices.

In addition, we may work with one or more advertising networks (each an Ad Partner) who use cookies to facilitate interest-based advertising on third party websites. This interest-based advertising may include the remarketing of our products and services that you have viewed on our websites through ads on third party websites.

As a reminder, this Privacy Statement (including this Cookie Policy) does not apply to third party practices.

Your choices about cookies

Modify your browser settings

You can modify your browser settings to control whether your computer or other device accepts or declines cookies. If you choose to decline cookies, as noted above, you may not be able to use certain interactive features of our websites or applications.

Delete cookies from your browser

You can delete cookies from your browser; however, that means that any settings or preferences managed by those cookies will also be deleted and you may need to recreate them. Depending on your mobile device, you may not be able to control tracking technologies through settings.

Opt-out of specific cookies

When we send you emails, they might include a web beacon or similar technology that lets us know if you received or opened the email and whether you clicked on any of the links in the email. You can opt-out of marketing emails that may use web beacons.

You can also opt-out of certain functional and performance cookies that we use on our websites and applications. You will have to opt-out for each browser that you use.
