Purpose of Data Collection
The data we collect is primarily used to enable us to provide our Services to you in the best way possible. Email addresses are collected for the purposes of communication/authentication and marketing, while other data is essential for the functionality of our app offerings.
Purpose and Legal Basis for Processing
The data collected is primarily used to offer and improve our Services. The legal basis for processing your data includes consent (where you have given consent), contract (where processing is necessary for the performance of a service contract), and legitimate interests (such as to improve our Services).
Data Storage Location and International Transfers
EU-Based Data Storage: In alignment with our commitment to the protection of your personal data and compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Qualli endeavors to store the personal data we collect from our users within data centers located in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) whenever possible. This approach ensures that your data is afforded the high level of protection required by European data protection laws.
Data Storage in the United States: For certain processing activities, data may be stored in or transferred to data centers located in the United States. In such instances, Qualli implements stringent safeguards to ensure the secure and lawful transfer of personal data in accordance with GDPR requirements:
Adequacy Decisions: We leverage European Commission's adequacy decisions for countries that offer an adequate level of data protection, where applicable.
Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs): For data transfers to countries without an adequacy decision, including the United States, we employ Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission. These legal frameworks obligate all data recipients to protect personal data to the standards mandated by EU data protection laws.
Enhanced Safeguards: Beyond SCCs, Qualli adopts additional protective measures, such as data encryption, pseudonymization, and strict data access controls, to ensure the security of your personal data during international transfers.
Commitment to Data Protection: Qualli is dedicated to upholding your rights under GDPR, including the right to be informed about the storage and transfer of your personal data. We guarantee transparency regarding the mechanisms in place to protect your data during international transfers, including:
The right to access, rectify, or erase your personal data.
The right to restrict processing and the right to data portability.
The right to withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
For inquiries or concerns regarding our data storage practices and international data transfers, please reach out to us at info@usequalli.com. Our team is prepared to address any questions and provide the assurances you need regarding the safety and privacy of your personal data.
Data Transfers Outside the EU/EEA
Qualli may transfer personal data to countries outside of the EU/EEA. In such cases, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data, either through standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, adequacy decisions, or other mechanisms permitted under GDPR.
Data Retention Policy
Qualli is committed to ensuring the security and protection of the personal data we process, while also adhering to the principles of data minimization and purpose limitation as required by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our Data Retention Policy is designed to help ensure that we comply with these principles, retaining personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
Retention Periods:
Inactive Accounts: Personal data associated with inactive accounts is retained for a period of 180 days from the last activity date. If an account remains inactive beyond this period, it is deleted to ensure that unnecessary data is not retained indefinitely.
Anonymous Users: Data collected from users who interact with our Services anonymously is held for no longer than 14 days. This short retention period respects the privacy of individuals who have not engaged in ongoing use of our Services, while still allowing us to analyze service usage patterns to improve user experience.
Financial Records: Financial data, including billing information and transaction histories, is retained for a minimum period as required by applicable tax and accounting laws. This period may vary by jurisdiction, but data will not be held for longer than necessary under the legal obligations to which we are subject.
Third-Party Services: For personal data processed on our behalf by third-party service providers, retention periods are determined in accordance with their privacy policies and data protection agreements. We ensure that these third parties comply with GDPR requirements and that they do not retain personal data longer than necessary for the purpose of providing their services to Qualli.
Legal and Regulatory Requirements:
In some cases, we may be legally required to retain certain types of data for a specified period beyond the general retention periods mentioned above. In such instances, we will retain the data in compliance with the legal requirement and ensure that it is securely protected.
Data Minimization:
Qualli regularly reviews the data we hold to ensure it is not kept for longer than necessary. This review process is part of our commitment to data minimization, ensuring that personal data is only retained as long as it serves the specific purposes for which it was collected.
User Rights:
Under GDPR, users have the right to request deletion of their personal data. If you wish to request the deletion of your data, or if you have any questions about our Data Retention Policy, please contact us at info@usequalli.com. We will process such requests in accordance with applicable legal requirements and our data protection obligations.
