What is our Security and Privacy Policy?
At QMobility, we respect your personal privacy. In order to protect your privacy we have created a secure environment using advanced security technology for handling all of your online transactions. We will never release your name, street address, telephone number or email address without your consent. We use the information we collect about you to process orders and to provide a more personalized shopping experience as well as to provide you with information about any QMobility developments or promotions.

What is our Security focus?
There are basically three overlapping types of risk we look for:

1. Problems in the Web server that allow unauthorized remote users to:
    
   • Steal confidential documents not intended for their eyes.
   • Execute commands on the server host machine modifying the system.
   • Gain information about the Web server in order to break into the system.
   • Launch denial-of-service attacks.
2. Browser-side risks, including:
   • Active content that crashes the browser damaging the user's system.
   • The misuse of personal information.
3. Interception of network data sent between browser and server.
   • The network on the browser's side of the connection.
   • The network on the server's side of connection (including Intranets).
   • The end-user's Internet Service Provider (ISP).
   • The server's ISP.

How do we secure your transactions?
At QMobility we use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt the information you send to us when you conduct your transaction. The information is encrypted on your computer, sent through the Internet as jumbled code, and decoded on QMobility's secure server. It cannot be read in transit. We also use one of the strongest digital certificates available from Thawte to insure ?⬀??d?⬀?⳥curity for all of your business transactions.

What is SSL?
SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is the scheme proposed by Netscape Communications Corporation. It is a low-level encryption scheme used to encrypt transactions in higher-level protocols such as HTTP, NNTP and FTP. The SSL protocol includes provisions for server authentication (verifying the server's identity to the client), encryption of data in transit, and optional client authentication (verifying the client's identity to the server). SSL is currently implemented commercially on several different browsers, including Netscape Navigator, Secure Mosaic, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and many different servers, including ones from Netscape, Microsoft, IBM, Quarterdeck, OpenMarket and O'Reilly and Associates. Details on SSL can be found in the following article at developer.netscape.com:"Encryption and SSL".

How do we treat your personal information?
QMobility employees who handle customer data, such as customer service representatives, learn about security policy and practices as part of their job training. QMobility notifies staff of changes in security policy via postings in an in-house secure database designated for customer service security postings, and simultaneous, high-priority status in-house emails, which must be acknowledged by each customer service employee. Access to customer data is password-protected and limited to internal access only. QMobility conducts reviews of its Web security and overal security on a continuous basis.

What type of information do we collect?
In designing our Web site, we started with the simple belief that customer service is our number one priority. Therefore the customer information we collect is used to enhance our services to you, our customer.

Specific areas from which we collect data include:

• Registration: Prior to conducting business, we ask our customers to register with QMobility by providing an email address. Additional contact information is only collected as needed when you request an auto-registration for one of your selected services. Should you wish to change your profile information, simply click the "My Profile" button and select "Personal Info". Please also note that while we can make your account inactive and ensure that QMobility in the future does not contact you, due to our quality control practices, we cannot delete customer files.
• Transactions: When you use the QMobility site, we may ask for your name, address, credit card and other forms of validation all of which are necessary for launching our services and conducting transactions. To protect our customers, we use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt the information you send to us when conducting a transaction.
• Creating an Account: Customers creating an account at QMobilty, Inc are asked to provide their email address.
• Cookies: Our cookies, which are small pieces of information that are stored by the Web browser on a computer's hard drive, help us facilitate customers' visits to QMobility. Cookies tell us when a user is a repeat visitor to our site. They also allow us to automatically link our customers to their personalized QMobility or vendor accounts, including vendor shopping baskets and Personal Shopping Accounts. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies. Please check your browser?⬀Զ?idelines should you wish to reject cookies. Doing so may impact the performance of the application.
• Log Files: QMobility automatically logs IP addresses and session sources (e.g., if the user came from an affiliate's site). We do not log the ISP. The information is not logged to personally identify information, nor to the customer?⬀Ԯ?entification number. ʢ덯bility uses these logs for sales and marketing tracking as well as system performance monitoring. These logs are reviewed for the overall aggregate trends they reveal about our customers, not for the behaviors of individual users. QMobility protects account information against unauthorized access or release. We will not give, sell, rent, or loan any identifiable personal information to any third party, unless the customer has authorized us to or we are legally required to do so. Additionally, we do not share the buying habits of individual consumers. We may share aggregate customer data with selected manufacturers and advertising partners to identify buying patterns.
  
  In some cases, QMobility provides the email addresses of our current customers to direct email companies working on our behalf. In this way, these companies can appropriately direct our promotional mailings to the correct customers (e.g., to prevent duplicate promotions). Promotional emails only go out to customers who have indicated they wish to receive them and customers may elect at any time not to receive further emails.
