Our website has two main parts, the “Blog” section, and the “Shop” section. Our “Blog” section, which is “https://qcwo.com/technicaldomain/blog”, may have links to other relevant resources, like videos on YouTube for example. As a result of your visit to this website, the owners of such linked websites may collect information such as your domain type, your IP address, and click information. Please note that when you click on some of the links on this website, you are navigating out from our website to the corresponding linked website or web page. We encourage you to read the terms and privacy statements of those websites, as their terms of service and privacy policies may differ from ours. This does not apply to our “Shop” section.

 

III. ORDERS

 

If you purchase a product or service from this website, at the moment of doing checkout, you will be redirected to PayPal.com, which is our payment processor and they will request certain personal information from you on their payment form. Payments are processed on their behalf on their secure website. We use a secure and encrypted environment to protect you and your information and still, as extra protection, we do not retain any financial information from you and never will ask for it. Your information is secure and protected by PayPal’s secure website and its strong customer protection policy.

 

IV. NOTIFICATIONS

 

A. SIGN UPs

 

1. If you sign up for any form of a newsletter that we may offer or any service to notify you about product availability or if you sign up for following comments and/or reviews, the information requested for contacting you at any event, will not be shared in any way. We take privacy very seriously. Our newsletter or similar services will mainly advise about new products, services, offers, news, or helpful information added to our website.

 

You will always have a way to unsubscribe from any of those services at any moment.

 

B. PHONE NUMBERS

 

1. Your phone number is optional, but since sometimes emails fail, besides emailing you we also send a notice through SMS (text) Message to the number registered in your order when possible. This way, we can let you know about your order and also send order status notifications.

 

If you receive a text message for that reason and you do not receive an email soon after that, then please look in your “Spam”, “Junk” or “Unwanted” email folder to see if our email message landed in any of those. If it is so, you might need to “white-list” our email to make sure you receive future important email notifications about your order.

 

Your phone number will NOT be shared, sold, or exposed anywhere, except in the package when required for shipping a product to you.

 

2. TEXT MESSAGES WE SEND: The following are true if you register a mobile number on your account with us when ordering:

 

a. As soon as an order is placed you will receive an email and a text message confirming your order.

 

b. If you order a service, you will also receive an email and a text message with the address where to send your unit to be serviced.

 

c. A message (email and/or text) will be sent to you when the unit to be serviced arrives at our facilities.

 

d. When your order is complete and shipped, you will receive an email and/or text with the shipping details and the tracking number.

 

C. OTHER COMMUNICATIONS

 

1. Besides newsletters or any other subscription service you may have signed up with us, we will rarely contact you for any other reason unless it is crucial for the completion of any order you have made with us.
