What is personal data, and what data do we collect from you?

When we talk about your personal data, we’re referring to your personal information.
You know, stuff like your full name, your shipping address, your e-mail address, contact numbers. Things like that.

But personal data is also the sensitive, privileged info—stuff we’re sure you normally don’t give away to just anyone. Data like your birthday, your gender, bank accounts info and proof of identification.

All the data you share with us is really important, because it’s what helps us provide the services you need. All we ask from you is that you keep it accurate and up-to-date.

 

Who is the Personal Information Controller?

QuadX is the personal information controller of any personal data that you may disclose through the use of this website and through other channels online, which means that it determines the purposes for which your personal data is being collected and processed. It may also be that, with your consent, your personal data is disclosed to third parties pursuant to a data sharing agreement, in which case, such third parties are also the personal information controllers of your personal data.

 

How do we protect your data?

You can rest assured your data is 100% safe with us.

Our Privacy Policy is in line with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (DPA), including all its rules and regulations. It also follows everything the National Privacy Commission (NPC) instructs us to do. Plus, that’s on top of following other relevant laws about data privacy.

If you’re not convinced yet, we’ve also put some pretty tight security measures in place. For example:

• We keep your account information protected by an encrypted password.
• There are physical, electronic and administrative procedures to protect your personal info, including Secure Socket Layers (SSL) that allows secure connections from our web servers to your browser, for all personal data and financial transactions through digital platforms.
• We process and store any personal data that you provide on the website, and only our authorized personnel can access and download your data from our system using a secured connection.

Again—100% safe.

For non-personal data (such as the number of daily visitors to a particular web page, or the size of an order placed on a certain date), we might share it with third parties such as advertising partners. Don’t worry—this information doesn’t personally identify you or any other users at all.
