Our Privacy Policy

Our Privacy Policy

When you visit QuietSelf (QuietSelf.com), our system automatically notes which browser and Internet provider you used for access. We collect this navigational information to help us design our pages, so we can provide the majority of our customers with the best possible browsing, purchasing and subscription experience.

We share identifiable information only with those parties entrusted with the processing of your account, the fulfillment of your digital subscription, and for providing you with information and updates about our membership service. We have established procedures to protect your privacy, which we vigorously uphold. Of course, this policy does not apply to information we are required to disclose by law.

We may use the information in aggregate form for internal business purposes, such as generating statistics and developing marketing plans. Rest assured: We will never sell or rent your personally identifiable information to third parties without your consent.

We may retain other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include data analysis firms, customer support specialists, webhosting companies, and fulfillment companies (e.g., companies that fill subscription orders or coordinate emailings).

Such third parties may be provided with access to personally identifiable information needed to perform their functions, but they may not use such information for any other purpose.

COOKIES

“Cookies” are small pieces of information stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive. Cookies do not contain any personally identifying information. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser to prevent that. A cookie lets you browse a website’s store, put items in your shopping cart, and return hours later to continue where you left off, with the items still in the cart. At QuietSelf.com, cookies help us give you a better web site, by letting us monitor what’s working and what isn’t through site traffic analysis. By using our web site, you agree that we may collect and use this information. Please be assured that accepting a cookie does not give us access to your computer or personal information under any circumstances. The information collected by our cookies is non-identifying. However, if you do not want to use cookies, you are free to set your browser to refuse them. But please be aware we won’t be able to process your subscription order made on any computer, tablet or smartphone with cookies disabled.

If you ever want to opt-out of receiving e-mail, you can do so from the link of any email you receive from us.

THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

The careful handling of your personal information is vitally important to us and we would never sell this information or knowingly allow any third party to use this information to contact you for marketing or other “spam” activities.

We hand over information that we receive to third parties solely for the purposes described in the following:

In certain circumstances, under force of law, QuietSelf must disclose information to third parties. This occurs notably when law enforcement authorities oblige QuietSelf to disclose information relating to a suspected crime or abuse. We may also disclose information to third parties in order to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another natural person. We may also disclose your personal data where such disclosure is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, whether in court proceedings or in an administrative or out-of-court procedure. Cases regarding companies who are inquiring about credit card abuse are included. However, personal data will not be given to companies for commercial purposes.

As we continuously develop our business, it may occur that we sell or buy individual subsidiaries or business units. In such transactions, customer information is usually transferred together with the transferred part of the company. Your data would continue to be subject to the previously existing privacy statement.

Certain functions are performed on our behalf by other service providers QuietSelf might enlist, such as processing payments, database analysis or promotional activities. In these cases, only the personal information necessary to perform these tasks will be accessible by these service providers. Furthermore, this information is not allowed to be used for any other purposes and the enlisted service providers are required to treat this information in accordance with this privacy policy.
