Q*Cardz™: Privacy

About Us

Privacy

We collect no personal information about you when you visit our website, unless otherwise stated, or unless you choose to provide this information to us. We do, however, collect and store this information automatically:

the internet Protocol (IP) address of the domain from which you access the Internet, whether yours individually or provided as a proxy by your ISP
the date and time you access our site
the URLs of the pages, images, sound files, etc. you peruse
the URL of the page you linked from to get to our site

We use these summary statistics to help us make our site more useful to visitors, such as assessing what information is of most and least interest to them, and for other purposes such as determining the site's technical design specifications and identifying system performance or problem areas. This information is not shared with anyone beyond our support staff, and is used only as a source of anonymous statistical data.

Users are required to provide a valid email address when they register so that we can communicate with them and validate that they are a legitimate user. The user information that you provide when you register is not shared with third parties.

We also use session cookies to remember who you are as you navigate the website. By default, web pages really don't have any "memory"; cookies act as a sort of "bookmark" within the site so that you can easily navigate and not need to reenter your username and password repeatedly.

Publishing Q*Cardz™ — Community vs. Private Content

When you identify yourself as a Q*Cardz™ Publisher, you have the option of being a private or community publisher. This distinction determines whether other publishers can use your content or not.

If you choose to be a Community Publisher, all card content uploaded will become a part of the Q*munity Database, for use by others.

If you do not want the contents of your Q*Cardz™ (illustrations, audio, text) to be accessible by the community, then you need to publish the content as a Private Publisher. Private Publishers can share their published work with all students, but the original assets will not be made available to other publishers to use in their works.

You have the option of having both a Community publishing name and a Private publishing name, which gives you the option of contributing some of your work to the community, and keeping other works private and not accessible by other publishers. You can set up multiple publishing names by using the Team Up! feature.

Note: if you are a member of a Publishing Team, everyone on that team will have access to the Q*Cardz™ and creative assets published by the team, even if it is a Private Publishing Team. Also, everyone on your team will have access to your email address.
