This Privacy Policy applies to personal information that we collect through our website at https://www.jointforce.buzz, through email and telephone communications with our team, through our client onboarding and project delivery processes, and through any other channel where this policy is referenced or made available to you.
This policy does not apply to third party websites, applications, or services that may be linked from our website or that you may access independently. Those third parties have their own privacy practices, and we encourage you to review their policies before providing any personal information to them. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of any third party sites.
This policy also does not apply to information that has been aggregated, anonymized, or otherwise de-identified in a manner that cannot reasonably be used to identify you. Such information may be used for analytics, research, and service improvement without additional notice.
We collect several categories of information, depending on how you interact with us. The categories described below are collected only to the extent necessary to provide our services and to operate our website effectively.
We do not knowingly collect sensitive categories of personal data such as information about your health, religious or philosophical beliefs, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, or biometric data through our website. We ask that you refrain from submitting such information to us unless it is strictly necessary for a specific project and we have expressly requested it.
We collect personal information through a variety of methods, each designed to be transparent and to occur only in connection with a legitimate purpose.
Direct collection. Most of the information we hold is provided directly by you when you contact us by email or telephone, when you complete a contact form or request a quote on our website, when you participate in a consultation, or when you provide details during project scoping and delivery.
Automatic collection. As you navigate our website, certain technical and usage information is collected automatically through cookies, server logs, and other tracking technologies. This information helps us understand how our website is used and how we can improve it.
Third party sources. On occasion, we may receive information about you from third parties, such as publicly available business directories, professional networking platforms, or referral partners who introduce you to us. When we receive information from third parties, we use it only in accordance with this policy and applicable law.
We use the personal information we collect for the following purposes, and we limit our use to what is necessary to achieve those purposes.
To comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, and enforceable governmental requests, and to protect the rights, property, and safety of QVON Tech, our clients, and the public.
Where the law requires us to identify a legal basis for processing your personal information, we rely on one or more of the following grounds.
Contractual necessity. We process personal information when it is necessary to perform a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, such as preparing a proposal or delivering the services you have requested.
Legitimate interests. We process personal information where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests or those of a third party, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms. These interests include operating and improving our website, responding to inquiries, and protecting the security of our systems.
Consent. Where we rely on your consent, such as for certain marketing communications or the use of non-essential cookies, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Legal obligation. We process personal information where necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation to which we are subject.
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience, to understand how our website is used, and to improve the services we offer.
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognize your device and to remember certain information about your preferences or actions over time. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage.
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, including the ability to refuse cookies or to delete cookies that have already been set. Please note that if you disable or delete cookies, some parts of our website may not function properly. For more information about how to manage cookies in your browser, please consult the help documentation provided by your browser vendor.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes. We share personal information only in the limited circumstances described below, and always with appropriate safeguards in place.
We may share personal information with trusted third party service providers who perform functions on our behalf, such as website hosting, email delivery, customer relationship management, analytics, and payment processing. These providers are contractually obligated to process personal information only on our instructions and to maintain appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
We may share information with our professional advisors, including legal counsel, accountants, auditors, and insurers, where necessary to obtain advice or to protect our legitimate business interests.
If QVON Tech or Q-VON TECHNOLOGY CO., LIMITED is involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, financing, or sale of assets, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.
We may disclose personal information where required or permitted by law, including in response to a court order, subpoena, or lawful request by a public authority, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our company, our clients, or others.
We retain personal information only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, and then we securely delete or anonymize it.
The specific retention period for different categories of information depends on the nature of the information and the purpose of processing. For example, business correspondence and project records are typically retained for the duration of our relationship and for a reasonable period thereafter to address any follow-up questions, disputes, or legal obligations. Technical and usage information collected automatically is generally retained for a shorter period and may be aggregated and de-identified for analytics.
When determining the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process the information, and whether those purposes can be achieved by other means.
We implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access. These measures include, but are not limited to, encryption of data in transit and at rest, access controls, firewalls, intrusion detection, regular security assessments, and staff training on data protection.
Despite our efforts, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information, and any transmission is at your own risk. We encourage you to take care to protect your own information, including by using strong passwords and keeping your devices and software up to date.
If we become aware of a security breach that affects your personal information and is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and any applicable regulator in accordance with applicable law.
QVON Tech is based in Hong Kong, and our service providers may be located in jurisdictions outside of your country of residence. As a result, your personal information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in countries whose data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.
Where we transfer personal information across borders, we take steps to ensure that it receives an adequate level of protection, including by using contractual clauses approved by the relevant authorities, relying on adequacy decisions where available, and implementing additional safeguards as appropriate.
By using our website or providing your information to us, you understand and agree that your information may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your own.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. These rights may include the following.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in Section 17. We will respond to your request within the timeframes required by applicable law.
