I. Notice
The “Website” refers to the website or webpage at
www.quadcashprofitsystem.com, its subdomains, and related domains or sales
pages. This Website is owned or operated by Secret Headquarters, Inc and/or its
subsidiary companies in the United States of America (collectively, “COMPANY”).
This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) applies to information that you provide
to COMPANY via this Website, and/or by use of other
services (collectively, the “Services”) that may be provided by other means or
media, including as set forth below and as defined in the applicable
Terms and Conditions or other
terms.
This Privacy Policy is intended to provide you notice of COMPANY’s information
management practices, including the types of information gathered, how it is
used and safeguarded, and the degree to which you may control the maintenance
and sharing of your information. Your use of any COMPANY
Service or Website constitutes acceptance of this Privacy Policy and any other
applicable terms. This Privacy Policy is part of and incorporated by reference
into the Terms and Conditions for
this Website.
II. Personally Identifiable Information That We Collect
COMPANY respects your privacy and is committed to
protecting personally identifiable information that you provide in connection
with your use of its Websites and Services. Such personally identifiable
information collected includes your name, shipping address, billing address,
telephone numbers, e-mail address, and payment information such as your credit
card number.
III. E-mail Newsletter Subscriptions
To subscribe to our e-mail newsletters, if any, you will need to provide your
e-mail address. You may also be asked for other information when you subscribe.
IV. User Accounts
In order to use our chat rooms, message boards, and certain other Services, you
will need to register and create a user account (“User Account”). There is no
cost to create a User Account in most cases. You may be asked to choose a user
name, screen name, or member name (each, a “User Name”) and password. Please do
not use your real name or the real name of another person when selecting a User
Name. You will also be asked to provide certain personally identifiable
information and other information about yourself, such as your first and last
name, date of birth, address, telephone number, and e-mail address.
Please note that your User Name will be available to the Internet’s general
public while you participate in some Services, like chat rooms, forums or
message boards, so you should exercise discretion when using these Services.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to any information you may disclose publicly
in such Services. In some instances, you may choose to create a “Public Profile”
that will be available to others on the Internet. Public Profiles are managed
entirely by you, and you are solely responsible for your Public Profile’s
content and its “public” or “private” status. The Company bears no
responsibility for any action or policies of any third parties who collect any
information that users may disclose in user forums or other public areas of this
Website. You are also responsible for maintaining and updating the registration
information in your User Account with current and complete information. You may
access, edit or remove your Public Profile by signing in to your User Account
and following the directions there. You can also send an e-mail to
quadcashsupport@gmail.com to
request deactivation of your User Account.
Please review our restrictions on use and guidelines for user forums in the
“Terms and Conditions” for the Website.
You can unsubscribe from receiving commercial e-mail from the Website by
clicking the link contained within such e-mails sent to you. You should be aware
that it is not always possible to completely remove or modify information in our
databases. In addition, we may institute a policy in which user information is
deleted after a certain amount of time, and therefore, your user information may
no longer exist in the COMPANY’s active database(s). In addition, even if you
choose to unsubscribe or otherwise modify your User Account settings, the
COMPANY reserves the right to contact you regarding
your account and your use of this Website.
V. Special Promotions and Purchases; Submission of Content to be Published
To participate in some Services such as sweepstakes, contests and surveys
(“Special Promotions”), or to make online purchases (“Purchases”), you will need
to provide personally identifiable information, such as name, mailing address,
e-mail address, phone number, and date of birth. Your information may be
collected by COMPANY or by a third party, such as a
co-sponsor or a vendor involved in, or providing services in connection with, a
Special Promotion, or an e-commerce partner in the case of a Purchase.
If you make a Purchase or enter a sweepstakes or other Special Promotion on one
of our sites or through our Services, COMPANY will
collect your personally identifiable information, and you are deemed to consent
to us providing your information to third parties who provide certain services
such as processing of credit card transactions, customer service, promotion or
sweepstakes administration, order fulfillment and/or prize delivery, as
applicable. (As more fully described below in “Use, Disclosure, and Sharing of
Information – Personally Identifiable Information”, these third parties are
prohibited from using this information for their own marketing purposes and/or
from sharing, selling, or otherwise distributing any personal data of our
customers, unless you choose to opt in for such additional uses and/or
disclosure by the third parties, under their respective privacy policies.).
Also, by entering a sweepstakes or other Special Promotion, you are agreeing to
the official rules that govern that sweepstakes or other Special Promotion,
which may contain specific requirements of you, including, except where
prohibited by law, allowing the sponsor(s) of the promotion to use your name,
voice or likeness in advertising or marketing associated with the promotion.
If you make a purchase or enter a promotion (such as a sweepstakes) in which
COMPANY is participating on a third party’s website
(or through some other means or medium), we will collect your information from
the third party only if you opt-in to receive additional communications from us,
or we are required to fulfill some function in relation to your activity (e.g.,
to send your order or deliver a prize).
If you submit to the Website a comment, photograph or other content to be
published, online or offline (including on-air, in a DVD,
or any other format), we may publish your name or other personally identifiable
information in connection with publishing the content and you are hereby deemed
to give us permission to do such.
VI. Information Collected by Other Means or Media
In some situations, we may also collect personally identifiable information and
other information about you through other means, directly or indirectly. For
example, if you access any COMPANY content, or
purchase such content via your wireless carrier or through another third party,
the COMPANY may collect information directly from you
or through the third party. Likewise, if you use our software, or provide
information to other companies who share information about their customers, we
may collect additional information about you. In each of these cases, the
COMPANY will apply this policy to any personally
identifiable information.
VII. Information About Other People
Some COMPANY Websites and Services may ask you to
submit personally identifiable information about other people. If you provide us
with personally identifiable information of a friend, or your friend provides
personally identifiable information about you, to e-mail a feature from the
Website, the e-mail addresses you or your friend supply us for those activities
will not be used to send you or your friend other e-mail communications unless
disclosed at the time you provide the information. A record of that transaction
will be maintained as allowed and/or required by law.
VIII. Customer Service
Some Services may offer support and technical assistance through customer
service centers via telephone, online chat, or e-mail. Whenever you communicate
with customer service, you do so with the understanding that an operator may
view and make changes to the information in your User Account in order to
provide the assistance that you need.
IX. Non-Personally Identifiable Information That We Collect
As part of the registration process for some Services, you may be asked to
provide information that does not personally identify you. For example, you may
be asked to provide information concerning your personal preferences, purchasing
habits, and the like. This information is generally optional but may be included
in your User Account profile. COMPANY requests this
information to understand you better and to also bring to your attention new
services, programs, or offers that may be of interest to you.
In many cases, COMPANY will automatically collect
certain non-personally identifiable information about your use of its sites and
Services. COMPANY might collect, among other things,
information concerning the type of Internet browser or computer operating system
you are using, the domain name of your Internet service provider, your “click
path” through the COMPANY sites or “click-through”
from an e-mail, the Website or advertisement that was linked to or from the
COMPANY site when you visited, and your IP address. To
do this, COMPANY may use cookies and other technology
(see below). If you are using our wireless Services, we may also automatically
collect information such as the type of wireless device you are using, your
mobile identification number (assigned by your telecommunications carrier) and
telecommunications carrier. Your use of our Websites and Services, and
information provided through these technologies, will be anonymous unless you
provide us with personally identifiable information or have provided such
information in the past.
X. Cookies and Related Technology
This Website’s pages or e-mail messages may contain cookies, web beacons (also
known as clear gifs), or similar technologies as they become available. Cookies
are information files that this Website may place on your computer to provide
extended functionality. The COMPANY may use cookies
for a number of purposes, such as tracking usage patterns on the Website,
measuring the effectiveness of advertising, limiting multiple responses and
registrations, facilitating your ability to navigate the Website and as part of
a verification or screening process. Most browsers are initially set up to
accept cookies. Most browsers will allow you to erase cookies from your computer
hard drive, block acceptance of cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is
stored. You should refer to your browser instructions, “Help” screen, or similar
such resource to learn more about how to manage cookies and possibly reset your
browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent by
indicating this in the preferences, options, or similar such menu in your
browser. However, it is possible that some parts of this Website will not
operate correctly if you disable cookies and you may not be able to take
advantage of some of this Website’s features. You should consult with your
browser’s provider/manufacturer if you have any questions regarding disabling
cookies.
The COMPANY’s web pages may include advertisements for third parties and their
products, and those third-party advertisements may include a cookie or web
beacon served by the third party. The COMPANY
does not control cookies in such third party ads, and visitors are encouraged to
check the privacy policies of advertisers and/or ad services to learn about
their use of cookies and other technology. The COMPANY’s Privacy Policy does not
cover the use of information collected from you by third party ad servers. These
companies may use information (not including your name, address, e-mail address
or telephone number) about your visits to this and other Websites in order to
provide advertisements on this site and other sites about goods and services
that may be of interest to you.
A web beacon is a small graphic image that allows the party that set the web
beacon to monitor and collect certain information about the viewer of the web
page, web-based document or e-mail message, such as the type of browser
requesting the web beacon, the IP address of the computer that the web beacon is
sent to and the time the web beacon was viewed. Web beacons can be very small
and invisible to the user, but, in general, any electronic image viewed as part
of a web page or e-mail, including HTML based content,
can act as a web beacon. The COMPANY may use web
beacons to count visitors to the web pages on the Website or to monitor how our
users navigate the Website, and the COMPANY may
include web beacons in e-mail messages in order to count how many messages sent
were actually opened, acted upon or forwarded.
XI. Special Notice Regarding Children Under 13
COMPANY recognizes the sensitivity of personally
identifiable information concerning children under the age of 13 and therefore
provides this special notice. COMPANY is committed to
complying with all applicable laws and regulations regarding children, including
the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”).
Except in limited circumstances allowed by COPPA,
COMPANY will not knowingly collect, maintain, or
disclose any personally identifiable information from a child under 13 without
first obtaining consent from that child’s parent or legal guardian.
If you are a parent or guardian who has discovered that your child under the age
of 13 has submitted his or her personally identifiable information without your
permission or consent, COMPANY will make reasonable
efforts to remove the information from its active list, at your request. To
request the removal of your child’s information, please send an e-mail to
quadcashsupport@gmail.com and be
sure to include in your message the same User Name and password and/or e-mail
address that your child submitted.
COMPANY encourages parents and guardians to spend time
online with their children to become familiar with the types of content
available on the COMPANY Web sites and the Internet
generally.
XII. Use, Disclosure, and Sharing of
Information
a. Non-Personally Identifiable
Information
From time to time, COMPANY may use and share with
third parties aggregate, non-personally identifiable user information to show
general demographic and preference information among users of the
COMPANY Web sites. When you visit or download
information from this Website, our web servers may automatically collect website
usage information. Website usage information is non-personally identifying
information that describes how our visitors use the Website. It can include the
number and frequency of visitors to each web page and the length of their stays,
browser type, referrer data that identifies the web page visited prior and
subsequent to visiting the Website, and IP addresses (see below for more
information on IP addresses). COMPANY may use IP
addresses for a number of purposes, such as system administration, to generally
determine your computer’s server location, to report aggregate information to
our business partners or to audit use of the Website. We also may determine your
screen resolution and the technology available in order to serve you the most
appropriate version of a web page, e-mail or similar service.
b. Personally Identifiable Information
COMPANY uses information about you to deliver the
Services that you request, to keep you informed about changes affecting our
Services or your account, to inform you of other Services or offers in which you
might be interested, and to improve and enhance our sites and Services. If you
provide COMPANY with personally identifiable
information, we will take all reasonable and appropriate steps to protect it
from unauthorized disclosure.
If you opt in to receive e-mail from us, you can always opt out of future
marketing messages by following the directions in each message to “unsubscribe”.
However, if you choose to opt out of marketing messages, we reserve the right to
contact you regarding your account status, technical support, product
information, changes to account terms, and any other matter that might affect
our service to you and/or any products you purchased from us or registered with
us, as applicable.
As stated in the Terms and Conditions, you will be deemed to have consented to
the disclosure to, and use by, a subsequent owner or operator of a
COMPANY Website or Service, of any information about
you contained in the applicable COMPANY database, if
COMPANY or one of its companies assigns its rights and
obligations regarding any of your information at the time of a merger,
acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of COMPANY’s or such
COMPANY company’s assets related to the applicable
site or Service to a subsequent owner or operator. In the event of such a
merger, acquisition, or sale, your continued use of the Website or any related
Service signifies your agreement to be bound by the Terms and Conditions and
Privacy Policy of the Website’s or Service’s subsequent owner or operator.
The COMPANY and its companies may work together in
order to provide portions of the COMPANY Websites and
some Services (e.g., to fulfill prizes won in a sweepstakes, or to provide other
support for a Service). These companies will handle your personally identifiable
information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
As stated above in Personally Identifiable Information That We Collect –
Special Promotions and Purchases; Submission of Content to be Published,
COMPANY may also work with third parties to provide
some Services on our Websites. In connection with those Services, you are deemed
to consent to us sharing your information with third parties who provide
services such as processing of credit card transactions, customer service,
promotion administration, order fulfillment and/or prize delivery, as
applicable.
Third parties who provide, or participate in, Services on
COMPANY Websites are prohibited from using our customers’ personally
identifiable information for marketing purposes and/or from sharing, selling, or
otherwise using such information, unless you choose to opt in to marketing,
sharing, or other uses by the third parties. If you do not want your information
to be used for marketing (or other purposes unrelated to the provision of
COMPANY Services) by a third party who participates in
a Service on one of our sites, do not opt in to such use by that third party
when you register to participate in the Service.
Please note that whenever you opt in to receive future communications from a
third party, your information will be subject to the third party’s privacy
policy. If you later decide that you do not want that third party to use your
information, you will need to contact the third party directly, as we have no
control over how third parties use information. You should always review the
privacy policy of any party that collects your information to determine how that
entity will handle your information.
COMPANY will not share, sell, rent, or disclose any
personally identifiable information that we have collected except as stated
herein, or in the following instances; 1) where we supply companies we have
associations with, with your information in order to offer you services we feel
may be of interest to you and who may then contact you by telephone or direct
mail (unless you have opted out of their marketing programs under the procedures
set forth by them; 2) where we are required by law, legal process, or court
order to disclose; 3) where disclosure is necessary to identify, contact, or
bring legal action against someone who may cause or be causing harm to, or
interference with, the COMPANY’s rights or property, other
COMPANY Website users, or anyone else; or 4) to respond to an inquiry,
request or complaint that you have made. COMPANY may
also use IP addresses it collects in cooperation with Internet service
providers, to identify users if we deem it necessary to comply with law, to
enforce compliance with this Privacy Policy or our Terms and Conditions, or to
protect our sites, customers, or others.
XIII. Our Commitment to Data Security
While COMPANY takes reasonable and appropriate
precautions to protect your personally identifiable information from
unauthorized disclosure and to prevent possible security breaches in our
Websites, Services, and customer databases, no website, Internet transmission,
computer system, or wireless connection is completely secure. Consequently,
COMPANY cannot guarantee that unauthorized access,
hacking, data loss, or other breaches will never occur. Your use of the
COMPANY Websites and Services is at your own risk.
COMPANY urges you to take steps to keep your
information safe by memorizing your password or keeping it in a safe place
(separate from your account information), logging out of your User Account, and
closing your Web browser.
Whenever you give COMPANY sensitive or confidential
information (for example, credit card numbers for Purchases),
COMPANY will take commercially reasonable steps to protect the
information by establishing a secure connection with your Web browser.
COMPANY employs a security technology known as a
secure-socket-layer (“SSL”) to protect the
transmission of payment information to the site. Unless otherwise specified
herein or on the Website where you make a Purchase, credit card numbers are used
only for payment processing and are not retained for marketing purposes.
XIV. Hyperlinks To and From Other Sites
COMPANY sites may frame, and/or contain links to, or
advertisements about, non-COMPANY Web sites. Other
sites may also reference, advertise, or link to COMPANY
Websites. COMPANY does not endorse or sponsor other
websites, is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of non-COMPANY
sites, expressly disclaims any statements or assertions made on such websites,
and denies and disclaims all liability associated with your use of, and the
content on, such other sites and advertisements.
XV. Consent to Processing in the United States
By providing any personally identifiable information to
COMPANY, all users, including, without limitation, users in the member
states of the European Union, fully understand and unambiguously consent to this
Privacy Policy and to the collection, storage, and processing of such
information in the United States of America.

identifiable information and welcomes comments and questions on this Privacy
Policy. You may e-mail your questions or comments to:

We will not use the information provided to these e-mail addresses or forms for
marketing purposes unrelated to your request.
XVII. Notification of Changes
COMPANY reserves the right to change this Privacy
Policy and its Terms and Conditions at any time. In case of any material change
to the Privacy Policy, we will replace the “Privacy Policy” link on the home
page of our sites with a link entitled “Updated Privacy Policy” for no less than
30 days. All changes to the Privacy Policy and/or Terms of Service will be
effective when posted, and your continued use of any COMPANY
Website or Service after the posting will constitute acceptance of, and
agreement to be bound by, those changes.
