Web beacons are electronic images that may be used on the Services or in emails and help deliver cookies, count visits, understand usage and campaign effectiveness. For more information about cookies, please see our Cookie Policy. Please see “Your Rights” below for how to disable cookies.

For Information We Collect From Other Third Party Sources (see below for the regulation for persons from the European Union):

QSC may receive information from other third party sources and combine it with information we collect through the Services. Specifically, we collect personal data from the following sources: dealers, integrators, distribution networks and other QSC partners. This helps us update, expand, and analyze our records, develop and improve QSC’s Products and Services, identify new customers, conduct surveys, sweepstakes and contests, and create more tailored marketing to provide services that may be of interest to you.

As an exception to the above concerning information from other third party sources, if you are based in Saudi Arabia, QSC’s receipt of information from other third party sources and combination of it with information we collect through the Services is limited to personal data which is publicly available, or collected from a publicly available source or where personal data will not be recorded or stored in a form that makes it possible to directly or indirectly identify you.

The third parties we engage may also combine the information we collect from you over time and across our websites and Services with information obtained from other sources (if you are based in Saudi Arabia, we will not obtain information about you from third parties). If you choose to provide QSC with a third party’s personal data (such as name, email, and phone number), you represent that you have the third party’s permission to do so.

In some instances, QSC and the third parties we engage may automatically collect data through cookies, web logs, web beacons, and other similar applications. This information is used to better understand and improve the usability, performance, and effectiveness of the website and to help tailor content or offers for you.

For data subjects from the European Union and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, we process data only for the purposes for which they were provided and for data subjects based in the United Arab Emirates, we process data only for the purpose for which they were provided or similar purposes. When the purposes are fulfilled, we delete the data if no legal provision requires the storage. We only merge data with your consent to form user profiles. If we use data from other companies and public sources, we will inform you if necessary and comply with your objection.

We may use information about you to provide, maintain, improve and promote our Services and our products. Some of the purposes of processing stated below are voluntary purposes, including to:

• Provide and deliver our products, services and other materials that you request and send you information related to your purchase of products or services, including confirmations and invoices;
• Send you technical notices, software and firmware updates, security alerts and support and administrative messages;
• Evaluate interest in, develop, enhance, localize, improve and analyze the performance and/or condition of QSC’s products and services;

• Link or combine with information we get from others to help understand your needs and provide you with better service if you have given your consent; and
• Carry out other purposes that are described to you at the time the information is collected.

As explained above, QSC collects, uses, discloses and processes your personal data to provide you with the goods or services that you have requested or purchased from us for the purposes of operating our business, delivering, improving, and customizing our websites, products and services, sending marketing and other communications related to our products, services or business, and for other legitimate purposes permitted by applicable law, including product warranty registrations, publications and other content, and training. We use this information to refine our products and services to better tailor them to your needs and to communicate with you about other products and services that QSC offers. Most of the time, QSC needs to process your personal data to fulfill an order or request for products or services. Sometimes QSC has a legitimate interest in processing data to better understand the needs, concerns, and interests of QSC customers and business partners so QSC can operate optimally as a global leader and business. And sometimes, QSC relies upon your consent, in which case we will keep a record of it and honor your choices. If you choose not to provide the information that we have requested, we may not be able to provide all the Services listed above to you.

We may share your personal data, when necessary to third parties or when there is a legitimate purpose, as follows or as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy:

• With our affiliates, employees, consultants, agents, vendors, suppliers, consultants and other service providers who need access to such personal data to carry out work or perform services on our behalf;
• With certain dealers, partners, or distributors of our products to market and sell QSC products (not applicable for individuals in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia);
• With our professional advisors;
• When you create a QSC account and participate in certain interactive areas of the Services (e.g., QSC communities), certain information about you may be displayed publicly, such as your user name, user statistics (such as when you last visited a QSC community, the QSC communities to which you contribute and number of posts you have made on QSC communities) and other information you choose to provide;
• In response to a request for information if we believe disclosure is in accordance with, or required by, any applicable law, regulation or legal process;
• If we believe your actions are inconsistent with our user agreements or other policies, or to protect the rights, property or safety of QSC or others;
• In connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, acquisition, sale of assets or any business or other change of control transaction or any financing (not applicable for individuals in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia);
• Between and among QSC and any current or future parent, subsidiaries and affiliated companies; and
• With your consent or at your direction.

We also may share aggregated, deidentified, or anonymized information, which cannot reasonably be used to identify you.

We may allow others to serve advertisements on our behalf across the Internet and to provide analytics services. These third parties may use cookies, web beacons and other technologies to collect information about your use of the Services and other websites, including your IP address, web browser, pages viewed, time spent on pages, Service or product use information, and links clicked and conversion information. This information may be used by QSC and others to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain features, deliver advertising and content targeted to your interests on the Services and other websites and better understand your usage activity. For more information about interest-based ads, or to opt out of having your web browsing information used for behavioral advertising purposes, please contact us as indicated in the “Contact Us” section below.

You can prevent these advertising and analysis services by rejecting the consents for the cookie banner and selecting the settings of your Internet browser accordingly.

QSC has implemented and maintains reasonable security procedures and practices, and commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures, to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk in order to help protect your personal data from unauthorized access and exfiltration, theft, or disclosure. We also have put procedures in place to deal with data security incidents. We will notify you and applicable regulators of such incidents where we are legally required to do so. You should be aware, however, that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. Further, we will not be responsible for the security and/or management of personal data shared by you with third party websites or links accessible via our website or platform.

Your personal data is stored by QSC on its servers, and on the servers of the cloud-based database management services that QSC engages, located in the United States. QSC retains data for the duration of a customer’s business relationship with QSC and for a period of time thereafter to meet any legal obligations.

We store data of interested parties until the consent is revoked. Data from competitions and events are deleted after the campaign has ended.

In general, we only store data until the purpose of the processing has been fulfilled and no legal obligation exists to retain the data. In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, data shall be destroyed without undue delay when it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it has been collected.

For more information on where and how long your personal data is stored, and for more information on your rights of erasure and portability, please contact QSC as indicated in the “Contact Us” section below.

The legal basis for our data processing is in many cases the initiation or fulfillment of a contract. If we ask for your consent, the legal basis is Art. 5 of the Personal Data Protection Law (“PDPL”). Some processing is done for QSC's legitimate interests, according to Art. 6 of the PDPL. Data subjects can object to this processing. For this purpose, they can contact us as indicated in the “Contact Us” section below.

The European Union General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and other data privacy laws seek to protect and enhance the rights of data subjects. These rights cover the safeguarding of personal data, protection against its unlawful processing, and its movement within and outside of the European Union. In the United Kingdom, the Data Protection Act 2018 and UK General Data Protection Regulation (“UK GDPR”) serve similar purposes.

The data of individuals from the European Union, the EEA (European Economic Area), the United Kingdom and Switzerland is processed by QSC EMEA GmbH, Germany or other European subsidiaries. The U.S. parent company, QSC, LLC, is the processor for all IT services. User data is processed outside the European Union in a so-called third country. This could result in risks for the data subjects, for example because it could make it more difficult to enforce their rights. A contract for data processing, the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, type controller to processor, has been concluded with QSC, LLC. Data processing operations will be reviewed and, if necessary, safeguarded by organizational and technical measures.

Some data may also be transferred to the U.S. parent company as a controller for other purposes. We will always inform you about this at the time of data collection and, if necessary, obtain your consent.

If QSC, LLC commissions further processors with the data processing, it will ensure that the conditions of the EU standard contractual clauses are also met. The legal basis for the transfer of data is our legitimate interest or your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) f GDPR or UK GDPR.

Pursuant to local legislation in Mexico, QSC hereby provides notice that we may process, store and transfer your personal data in and to the United States. QSC endeavors to apply suitable safeguards to protect the privacy and security of your personal data and to use it only consistent with your relationship with QSC and the practices described in this Privacy Policy. We will ensure that there is a proper legal agreement that covers the data transfer pursuant to local legislation in Mexico.

The PDPL and other data privacy laws seek to protect and enhance the rights of data subjects. These rights cover the safeguarding of personal data, protection against its unlawful processing, and its movement within and outside of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Under the PDPL and its implementing regulations (the “Regulations”):

1. the right to be informed, which includes informing you of the legal basis and the purpose of collecting your Personal Data;
2. the right to access your Personal Data held by us, in accordance with the rules and procedures set out in the Regulations, and without prejudice to the provisions of Article 9 of the PDPL;
3. the right to request correcting, completing, or updating of your Personal Data held by us.
4. the right to request the Destruction of their Personal Data held by us, without prejudice to the provisions of Article 18 of the PDPL.
5. the right to obtain your Personal Data in a legible and clear format, including the right to request the Transfer of your Personal Data to another Controller if this is technically possible, in accordance with the rules and conditions set out in the Regulations.
6. other rights provided for in the PDPL, as set out in the Regulations.

Further to the above, QSC may not receive information from other third-party sources and combine it with information we collect through the Services, unless personal data is publicly available, or collected from a publicly available source or personal data will not be recorded or stored in a form that makes it possible to directly or indirectly identify you.

You have the following rights at any point that QSC is in possession of or processing your personal data if you are in the European Union, EEA, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates or Mexico. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us as indicated in the “Contact Us” section below.

Opt Out of Marketing Messages:
If you no longer want to receive marketing messages from QSC, you can choose to opt out at any time. If you have previously opted in to receive personalized content based on how and where you use our Services, you can also opt out at any time.

The easiest way to opt out is by contacting us as indicated in the “Contact Us” section below.

Please note: You may still receive marketing messages for a short period after opting out while we update our records.

You may have received marketing information from QSC even if you are not a customer or have never had contact with us. This is a result of third party marketing lists, which QSC may acquire from time to time, stating that you have given permission to be contacted by other organizations. If you have registered with us to opt out of marketing from QSC, you should not receive such communications. If you still do, we ask that you let us know immediately by contacting us as indicated in the “Contact Us” section below. This will only stop marketing from us and not stop the third parties from sharing your data unless you contact them directly.
