They may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations. We may also use third party vendors or service providers to help us provide the Service to you, such as sending email messages on our behalf or hosting and operating a particular feature or functionality of the Service.

Our contracts with these third parties outline the appropriate use and handling of your information and prohibit them from using any of your personal information for purposes unrelated to the product or service they’re providing. We require such third parties to maintain the confidentiality of the information we provide to them.

Your data is yours. You can remove it anytime you want. When you request us to delete your account for the Service, your data will be permanently expunged from our primary production servers and further access to your account will not be possible. We will also promptly disconnect any connection we had established to your Account Information and delete all account credentials. However, portions of your data, consisting of aggregate data derived from your Account Information, may remain on our production servers indefinitely, where such data cannot identify you in any way.

EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS FROM US

We provide our registered customers with weekly polls and email alerts. We also allow users to subscribe to email newsletters and from time to time may transmit emails promoting 6Q or third-party goods or services.

6Q subscribers have the ability to opt-out of receiving our promotional emails and to terminate their newsletter subscriptions by following the instructions in the emails. Opting out in this manner will not end transmission of service-related emails, such as email alerts.

YOUR DATA IS SECURE

We use a combination of firewall barriers, encryption techniques and authentication procedures, among others, to maintain the security of your online session and to protect 6Q accounts and systems from unauthorised access.

When you register for the Service, 6Q requires a password from you for your privacy and security. 6Q transmits information such as your Registration Information for 6Q or Account Credentials securely.

No employee may put any sensitive content on any insecure machine (i.e., nothing can be taken from the database and put on an insecure laptop). 6Q tests the Site regularly for any failure points that would allow hacking.

OUR SERVICE ENSURES SECURE COMMUNICATION WITH ENCRYPTION

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Login ID and Password

We maintain strict rules to help prevent others from guessing your password. We also recommend that you change your password periodically. Your password must be at least 8 characters in length. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Login ID and Password. You may not provide these credentials to any third party. If you believe that they have been stolen or been made known to others, you must contact us immediately at [email protected], but in any event you should change your password immediately via the Service. We are not responsible if someone else accesses your account through Registration Information they have obtained from you or through a violation by you of this Privacy and Security Policy or the 6Q Terms of Use.

If you have a security related concern, please contact us at [email protected]. We will work closely with you to ensure a rapid and personal response to your concerns.
