How Do We Protect Personal Information? Quick maintains administrative, technical and physical safeguards and security policies, rules and measures designed to protect the personal information you provide, or our customers provide to Quick, against accidental, unlawful or unauthorized use, destruction, loss, alteration, access or disclosure. Although we take steps to limit access to our facilities and vehicles to authorized individuals, information that is located on the outside of a shipment's packaging may be visible to others. Here are some of the ways we protect your personal information: Access to our online services is protected by encryption. Encryption is the process through which sensitive information is scrambled before it is transmitted so that it remains private even if it is intercepted. However, unless your internet browser supports encryption you will not be able to take advantage of this level of security. Off-line - your information is kept securely in our databases and data centers. We only allow our employees access to your information, and then only if they need it for a specific authorized business use.

We will only retain your personal data for as long as it is necessary to satisfy the purpose for which it was provided by you or for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, accounting or reporting requirement. Our retention policies reflect local statute of limitation periods and national statutory obligations of Quick. We may therefore retain your information for a reasonable period after your last interaction with us. When personal data is no longer required, we can destroy or delete it in a secure manner. We may, instead of destroying or erasing your personal data, render it anonymous so that it cannot be associated with or identified to you personally. Privacy by Design Quick has adopted the principle of privacy by design and will ensure that the definition and planning of all new or significantly changed systems that collect, or process personal data will be subject to due consideration of privacy issues, including the completion of one or more data protection impact assessments. The data protection impact assessment will include: Consideration of how personal data will be processed and for what purposes; Assessment of whether the proposed processing of personal data is both necessary and proportionate to the purpose(s); Assessment of the risks to individuals in processing the personal data; What controls are necessary to address the identified risks and demonstrate compliance with legislation Updates to Our Privacy Policy This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically and without prior notice to you to reflect changes in our personal information practices.
