Privacy Policy

Home › Privacy Policy

Your privacy is extremely important to us, we have measures in place to protect against the loss, mis-use of any data we hold. Information submitted is only available to employees managing this information for purposes of provisioning orders and supporting our customers. We never sell or rent individual personal information. We have this privacy policy to demonstrate our commitment to your privacy and the protection of your information.

 

Why do we collect your personal information?

We collect information to help manage your account:

  • To deliver products and services relevant to you (whether we provide them or not).
  • To improve our products and services
  • And to manage our business and help us run and grow our business.

We also collect information so we can tell you about our products and services, other companies’ products and services or allow selected partners to tell you directly about their products or services. The law also requires us to keep some information.

 

The type of Information we have

The information we have about you includes things like who you are, how you use your products and services, billing information and how you pay for your services.

Who you are includes:

  • Your name, address, gender, age, interests, etc.
  • Your bank details, debit cards and other payment information.
  • Your interests and preferences.

 

How you use your Quadrant Tech Ltd products and services includes:

  • Your call, text, surfing and billing records.

  • We cannot look at the content of your messages or listen to your calls (unless you are talking to one of our customer service advisors).

 

Where you use networks or other providers

So we can connect you to your chosen network, and for some of the purposes mentioned in this Privacy Policy, the networks & providers need to know your location when you make or receive phone calls, messages or use the internet. It’s called network location. We don’t control it, the networks or providers do.

Your smartphone might also have a Global Positioning System (GPS) location, that’s used by your phone and certain apps.

GPS location is different from network location, again we don’t control it

We keep information while you’re our customer or after you’ve left us, but only as long as we need it for the purposes described above. How long we keep it depends very much on the type of information and purpose.

For example, we might need to sort out disagreements, stop fraud and abuse, prove that you had an account with us or follow our legal obligations. We may also keep information about how you use our products or services.

In each case, the length of time that we need to keep the information may be different, but we will only keep the information for as long as we need it.
