1. Introduction
RawEdge is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency in how we handle your personal information. This Privacy Policy applies to all users of our Quicken professional services, including visitors to our website, clients, and subscribers. We comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable data protection laws. By accessing or using our services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to modify this policy at any time, and we will notify you of significant changes through our website or via email. Your continued use of our services after any modifications indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.
2. Data Collection
We collect various types of information to provide and improve our Quicken professional services. Personal data we collect includes: your name, email address, phone number, billing information, company details, and professional credentials. We also collect technical data such as IP addresses, browser types, device information, operating systems, and usage patterns. When you interact with our services, we automatically collect information about your activities, including pages viewed, time spent on pages, links clicked, and search queries. We may also collect information you provide voluntarily through forms, surveys, feedback submissions, or customer support interactions. Additionally, we collect financial transaction data necessary for processing payments and delivering our Quicken services. All data collection is conducted in accordance with applicable privacy laws and regulations.
3. How We Use Your Data
The personal data we collect serves multiple legitimate purposes essential to our business operations and service delivery. We use your information to provide, maintain, and improve our Quicken professional services, including processing transactions, managing your account, and delivering customer support. Your data helps us personalize your experience, send relevant communications about services updates, and provide targeted content that matches your professional interests. We analyze usage patterns to enhance our service functionality, develop new features, and optimize user experience. Your information enables us to comply with legal obligations, prevent fraud, enforce our terms of service, and protect the security of our platform. We also use aggregated, anonymized data for research, statistical analysis, and business intelligence purposes. Marketing communications are sent only with your explicit consent, and you may opt out at any time.
4. Data Sharing and Disclosure
RawEdge does not sell your personal data to third parties. However, we may share your information under specific circumstances with trusted partners and service providers. We work with third-party vendors who assist in operating our services, including payment processors, cloud hosting providers, email service providers, and analytics platforms. These partners are contractually bound to protect your data and use it only for the purposes we specify. We may disclose information to legal authorities when required by law, court order, or governmental regulation, or when necessary to protect our rights, property, or safety. In the event of a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your information may be transferred to the successor entity. We may also share anonymized, aggregated data that cannot identify you personally for industry research, marketing analysis, or public reporting purposes. All data sharing practices comply with GDPR requirements.
5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience and analyze service usage. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences, maintain session security, and understand how you interact with our services. We use essential cookies necessary for basic functionality, performance cookies to analyze site traffic and usage patterns, functional cookies to remember your settings and preferences, and marketing cookies to deliver relevant advertisements. Third-party services like Google Analytics may also place cookies on your device to help us understand user behavior. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings, though disabling certain cookies may affect service functionality. For detailed information about our cookie practices, please review our separate Cookie Policy. We respect Do Not Track signals and provide transparency about all tracking mechanisms employed on our platform.
6. Your Data Protection Rights
Under GDPR and other privacy regulations, you have comprehensive rights regarding your personal data. You have the right to access your personal information and receive a copy of the data we hold about you. You can request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data at any time. You have the right to erasure (the "right to be forgotten"), allowing you to request deletion of your personal data under certain circumstances. You may restrict or object to certain processing activities, including direct marketing communications. You have the right to data portability, enabling you to receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format and transmit it to another service provider. You can withdraw consent for data processing at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information provided in this policy. We will respond to your request within 30 days.
7. Data Security Measures
RawEdge implements robust technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. We use industry-standard encryption protocols (SSL/TLS) to secure data transmission between your device and our servers. All sensitive information is encrypted at rest using advanced encryption algorithms. Our infrastructure is hosted on secure, GDPR-compliant cloud platforms with multiple redundancy and backup systems. We maintain strict access controls, ensuring that only authorized personnel with legitimate business needs can access personal data. Our team undergoes regular security training and follows established data protection procedures. We conduct periodic security audits, vulnerability assessments, and penetration testing to identify and address potential risks. Despite our best efforts, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We continuously monitor for suspicious activity and have incident response procedures in place.
8. Data Retention Policy
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy and comply with legal obligations. Account information is maintained while your account remains active and for a reasonable period thereafter to facilitate potential reactivation. Financial transaction records are retained for the duration required by tax laws and accounting regulations, typically seven years. Customer support communications are kept for three years to maintain service quality and resolve potential disputes. Marketing data is retained until you withdraw consent or unsubscribe from communications. Technical logs and analytics data are typically retained for 12-24 months for security and service improvement purposes. When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it in accordance with data protection standards. You may request earlier deletion of your data by exercising your right to erasure, subject to legal retention requirements.
9. International Data Transfers
RawEdge operates globally, and your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your jurisdiction, including countries that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home country. When we transfer data internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information in compliance with GDPR requirements. We utilize Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission when transferring data from the EU to third countries. Our service providers in non-EU countries are required to implement adequate data protection measures equivalent to GDPR standards. We conduct regular assessments of data transfer mechanisms to ensure ongoing compliance with evolving privacy regulations. If you are located in the European Economic Area, you have the right to obtain information about the safeguards we have implemented for international data transfers. We are committed to transparency regarding where and how your data is processed globally.
