Introduction

Overview

Qwark, Inc. ("Qwark," or "we" or "us" or "our") recognizes that is our duty to protect the privacy of the personal information you provide to us with respect to your access and use of our website (www.qwarkhealth.com) and related services (the "Website").

Therefore, we have adopted this privacy policy (the "Privacy Policy"), which sets forth, among other things, the type of information that will be collected, the purpose and use of the collected information, and your rights with regard to the collected information. This Privacy Policy governs how we collect and use your personal information wherever you use our Website. By accessing the Website, you are consenting to the collection and the use of your information by us, but only to the extent described herein. Should you wish to revoke your consent, you may do so by contacting us, information on which is set out in the Privacy Policy below.

Qwark may make modifications, deletions and/or additions to this Privacy Policy ("Changes") at any time. Changes will be effective: (i) thirty (30) days after Qwark provides notice of the Changes, whether such notice is provided through the Website user interface, is sent to the email address associated with your account or otherwise; or (ii) when you opt-in or otherwise expressly agree to the Changes or a version of this Privacy Policy incorporating the Changes, whichever comes first.

Information Privacy & Collection

Protection of Your Information

We are accountable for the information in our custody. Therefore, when we collect or use your information, we will utilize commercially reasonable safeguards to ensure all customer data is protected and encrypted from end to end. It should be noted that no security procedure is currently 100% effective. Should any breach of your Personal Information occur, we will inform you as soon as reasonably possible, as required by applicable law.

Type and Purpose of Collection

We collect information at various points in the Website to facilitate its use by our users. Specifically, two types of information are collected:

1. Non-Personal Information: Upon accessing the Website, certain non-personal information will be automatically collected without your knowledge or consent, such as your IP address, location data (which is anonymous and where you log in through the Website you will be asked if you consent to the Website accessing your location, which can be updated at any time in your device settings) and the referring website ("Non-Personal Information"). We use Non-Personal Information to examine our traffic and to view how our customers use the Website. This type of information will not allow you to be personally identified although we might be able to associate it with your account. For example, we use "cookies," which contain only certain statistical information. For more information on cookies, please find more information below.

2. Identifying Personal Information: To utilize some portions of the Website, you must first provide personal information that will allow you to be identified, such as your name and e-mail address ("Personal Information"). This type of information will not be collected without your consent. We expressly acknowledge that we will not use your Personal Information for any other purposes without your consent. The Personal Information we collect will vary depending on how you are using the Website, but may include, without limitation: (i) your name, mailing address, phone number and email address; (ii) credit card information and charge history; (iii) unique identifiers such as user name, account number and password; (iv) preferences information such as product or content interests, communication or marketing preferences; (v) device information and data; and (vi) Google, Twitter, and Facebook identity.

Additionally, Personal Information may be used and disclosed to the extent Qwark may deem reasonably necessary to enforce the terms of any agreement between you and Qwark or to protect the rights, property or safety of any person or entity.

Use of Unencrypted Email

As part of our services, we may utilize unencrypted email. Since the email is not encrypted and is transmitted over the internet, a third party may be able to access the information and read it. Additionally, once the email is received by you, the security of that email depends on your email provider and your adherence to good privacy practices. Accordingly, someone may be able to access your email account and read it. By agreeing to these terms of service, you acknowledge that you understand that there are risks related to providing information electronically, which is not encrypted and that the privacy of such communications cannot be guaranteed by Qwark. Understanding the risks, you hereby consent to the use of unencrypted email by Qwark to communicate with you.

Right to Examine Information

You have the right to examine any of your Personal Information that we collect. Should you wish to examine such information, please send us a written request to Support@QwarkHealth.com or call us at 1-844-931-2345 or mail-in written correspondence addressed to

Attn: HIPAA Questions

Qwark

1287 Hammerwood Ave.

Sunnyvale, CA 94089

We reserve the right to charge you a reasonable administrative fee to access your information, as permitted by applicable law. In certain cases, we may not be able to provide you with access to all of your Personal Information (for example: if the information also pertains to the Personal Information of another user).

Withdrawal of Consent

You may withdraw your consent to the collection of Personal Information at any time by sending an email to us at Support@QwarkHealth.com. Upon receiving notice that you have revoked your consent, we will stop using your Personal Information within a reasonable time, which will vary depending on what information we have collected and for what purpose. Please note that we will send you an email confirmation upon receipt of your request. Therefore, if you do not receive a confirmation email, please contact us again with your request. If you do choose to withdraw such consent, your access to the Website may be diminished, or your ability to choose some of the options on the Website may be limited.

Right to File a Complaint

If you feel your privacy information has been misused or violated, you have the right to file a formal complaint with the US Department of Health & Human Services, contact. You can also file a direct complaint with us here at Qwark by emailing Support@QwarkHealth.com or calling 1-844-931-2345

Returns and Replacement Orders

If you have any issues with your order, shipment, or medication, you must call the Qwark team at 1-844-931-2345 within 72-hours.

Refunds and Returns: Per pharmacy regulations, we cannot accept prescriptions for return or refund once they have shipped. Please inspect all orders upon receipt. If there are any discrepancies with your order, you must notify Qwark within 72 hours.

Changes to your order: If you order medication and your physician prescribes a different medication, i.e. a different strength or quantity, we will notify you via email.

Undelivered Shipments: In the rare event that the carrier loses your shipment, please contact the pharmacy to arrange for a replacement order.

If you or someone acting on your behalf provided the wrong shipping address and the package is not delivered to you as a result, you will be responsible for paying for a new prescription drug along with the full cost of shipping and handling. The pharmacy will review a recording or a written or electronic record in order to ensure the shipping address initially provided was the shipping address used by the mail carrier.

Refused delivery re-shipments are NOT eligible for any free shipping or fixed-rate shipping promotions.

Use and Disclosure of Personal Information

We will not sell, rent or disclose to outside parties the information we collect and save except that we may share the collected information with other parties as follows:

1. Affiliated Service Providers: We have agreements with various affiliated service providers to facilitate the functioning of the Website, with whom we may share the information we have collected. For example, we may share your credit card information with the credit card service provider to process your purchase. All administrative service providers that we use are required to have the same level of privacy protection as we have, and therefore we expect that your information will be handled with the same level of care that we employ. Additionally, for example, we may use analytic services.

2. Where required by law: We may share the collected information where required by law, specifically in response to a demand from government authorities where such demand meets the legal requirements.

3. Statistical Analysis: We may share Non-Personal Information and aggregated information with third parties, including but not limited to for advertising or marketing purposes. No Personal Information will be shared in this manner.

4. Transactions: In connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing or acquisition, or in any other situation where Personal Information may be disclosed or transferred as one of our business assets.

Location-Based Services Consent

You hereby expressly consent to our use of location-based services and expressly waive and release Qwark from any and all liability, claims, causes of action, or damages arising from your use of Qwark’s services, including but not limited to use of the Website, or in any way relating to the use of the precise location and other location-based services.

International Visitors

The Website is hosted in the United States and is intended for visitors located within the United States. If you choose to use the Service from the European Union or other regions of the world with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, then please note that you are transferring your personal information outside of those regions to the United States for storage and processing. Also, we may transfer your data from the U.S. to other countries or regions in connection with the storage and processing of data, fulfilling your requests, and operating the Website. By providing any information, including personal information, on or to the Service, you consent to such transfer, storage, and processing.

Payment Processing

Payment details you provide will be encrypted using secure sockets layer (SSL) technology before they are submitted over the internet. Payments made on the Website are made through our payment gateway provider. You will be providing credit or debit card information directly to our payment gateway provider which operates a secure server to process payment details, encrypting your credit/debit card information, and authorizing payment. Information that you supply to our payment gateway provider is not within our control and is subject to their own privacy policy and terms and conditions.

If you are under 13 years of age, then please do not use or access the Website at any time or in any manner. If we learn that personally identifiable information has been collected on the Website from persons under 13 years of age and without verifiable parental consent, then we will take the appropriate steps to delete this information. If you are a parent or guardian and discover that your child under 13 years of age has obtained an account on the Website, then you may alert us at Support@QwarkHealth.com and request that we delete that child’s personally identifiable information from our systems.
