The QCrash Platform lets you publish information, including personal information, that is visible to the general public. For example:
Information you share publicly on the QCrash Platform may be indexed through third party search engines. In some cases, you may opt-out of this feature in your Account settings. If you change your settings or your public-facing content, these search engines may not update their databases. We do not control the practices of third party search engines, and they may use caches containing your outdated information.
Vendors may need to use third party services available through the QCrash Platform to assist with managing their services requested by you. Vendors may use features on the QCrash Platform to share information about the User (like service dates, User name) with such third party service providers for the purposes of providing other services. Vendors are responsible for third party service providers they use and ensuring those service providers process User information securely and in compliance with applicable law including data privacy and data protection laws.
QCrash may disclose your information, including personal information, to courts, law enforcement, governmental authorities, tax authorities, or authorized third parties, if and to the extent we are required or permitted to do so by law or if such disclosure is reasonably necessary: (i) to comply with our legal obligations, (ii) to comply with a valid legal request or to respond to claims asserted against QCrash, (iii) to respond to a valid legal request relating to a criminal investigation or alleged or suspected illegal activity or any other activity that may expose us, you, or any other of our users to legal liability, (iv) to enforce and administer our Terms of Service, the Payment Terms or other agreements with Users or Vendors, or (v) to protect the rights, property or personal safety of QCrash, its employees, its Users or Vendors, or members of the public.

In instances where we comply with legal requests without notice for these reasons, we may attempt to notify that User or Vendor about the request after the fact where appropriate and where we determine in good faith that we are no longer prevented from doing so.
QCrash uses a variety of third-party service providers to help us provide services related to the QCrash Platform. Service providers may be located inside or outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”).
For example, service providers may help us: (i) verify your identity or authenticate your identification documents, (ii) check information against public databases, (iii) conduct background or police checks, fraud prevention, and risk assessment, (iv) perform product development, maintenance and debugging, (v) allow the provision of the QCrash Services through third party platforms and software tools (e.g. through the integration with our APIs), (vi) provide customer service, advertising, or payments services, or (vii) process, handle or assess insurance claims or other similar claims.

We may review, scan, or analyze your communications on the QCrash Platform for fraud prevention, risk assessment, regulatory compliance, investigation, product development, research, analytics, and customer support purposes. For example, as part of our fraud prevention efforts, we scan and analyze messages to mask contact information and references to other websites. In some cases, we may also scan, review, or analyze messages to debug, improve, and expand product offerings. We use automated methods where reasonably possible. However, occasionally we may need to manually review some communications, such as for fraud investigations and customer support, or to assess and improve the functionality of these automated tools. We will not review, scan, or analyze your messaging communications to send third party marketing messages to you, and we will not sell reviews or analyses of these communications.
These activities are carried out based on QCrash's legitimate interest in ensuring compliance with applicable laws and our Terms, preventing fraud, promoting safety, and improving and ensuring the adequate performance of our services.
