QuickChart Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from https://quickchart.io (the “Site”). You may also be interested in our Data Security Policy and our Data Processing Agreement.

Personal information we collect

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

  • “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
  • “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
  • “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site. This includes third-party analytics and services such as Google Analytics and Stripe.

Additionally when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers, email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as “Order Information.”

When you make a request to our API, we may record IP address and chart contents, although this is disabled by default. Access to these records is logged and permitted on an as-needed basis.

When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information.

How do we use your personal information?

We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, delivering product information, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Order Information to communicate with you and screen our orders for potential risk or fraud.

We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).

Sharing your personal information

We share your Personal Information with a small number of third parties necessary to charge you, keep the service running, and perform web usage analysis.

For example, we use Stripe to collect payment information (see their privacy policy here). We also use Google Analytics to help us understand how our customers use the Site–you can read more about how Google uses your Personal Information here. You can opt-out of Google Analytics here.

Finally, we may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.

Data retention

Images

Chart, QR, word cloud, and other images are never stored on our servers. The data they contain is never stored on our servers.

All images are rendered on-demand based on the contents of the request and immediately evicted from memory.

The only exception to this is if you explicitly opt in by creating a short URL.

HTTP logs

Web logs may be recorded if the customer specifically requests assistance (for example, to debug a technical issue). Logs are recorded on a temporary, as-needed basis and may contain your chart definition if you use GET instead of POST requests. Log access is monitored and audited. Logs are deleted automatically after 7 days.

Short URLs and Templates

If you opt into using short URLs, also known as Templates, we must store your chart definition so we can serve your chart for the duration of the short URL’s existence.

Order information

When you place an order through the Site, we will maintain your Order Information for our records unless and until you ask us to delete this information.

Do not track

Please note that we do not alter our Site’s data collection and use practices when we see a Do Not Track signal from your browser.
