Other Information we collect when you interact with the App, Site or Service:
Aggregate Information. Qwik collects aggregate information (non-personally identifiable information such as frequency of visits to the App or Site, browser type, etc.). No single person can be identified by this compiled information. Qwik uses aggregate information to provide and improve the Service, as well as to monitor, audit and analyze data pertaining to our business metrics.
Cookie Information. We use “cookies” (small pieces of data we store on your computer, mobile phone or other device) to make the Service, Site and App easier to use, make our Service and other services better, and to protect both you and Qwik. We store minimal information in cookies and protect this information. (For example, we do not store any complete records or bank account/credit card numbers in a cookie). You can remove or block cookies using the settings in your browser, but in some cases that may impact your ability to use the Service, Site and App.
Use of Pixel Tags/Clear GIFs/Web Beacons. A pixel tag, also known as a clear GIF or web beacon, is an invisible tag placed on certain pages of our website but not on your computer. When you access certain App or Site pages, pixel tags may generate a generic notice of that visit. These usually work in conjunction with cookies, registering when a particular computer visits a particular page. If you turn off cookies, the pixel tag will simply detect an anonymous website visit.
Links to Other Websites. The App or Site may contain links to websites operated by other people or companies. Those websites may have their own privacy policy or no privacy policy at all. Qwik does not have any responsibility for those websites, we provide the links solely for the convenience of our visitors, and Buyer or Seller Users.

We review our data collection, storage and processing practices to ensure that we only collect, store and process the personal information needed to provide or improve our services.
