Privacy Policy
LAST UPDATED: March 1, 2018
uQontrol, Inc. (a Nevada corporation), (“uQontrol”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) has prepared this Privacy Policy to describe to you our privacy practices regarding the Information (as defined below) we collect from users of our website at www.Qkey.com (the “Site”), the uQontrol software application that enables users to simplify and expedite their experience on the web by storing their data in a secure online Qkey and other connect devices and actively using it to perform online transactional and navigational processes (the “App”), and online services available therein (collectively, the “Services”).
What Information does uQontrol collect?
Information You Provide. uQontrol collects information that you voluntarily provide on our Site, App and Services. For example:
Registration Information
When you create a uQontrol account, we ask you to provide an email address that will be used as your login. In addition, when you create a uQontrol account we ask you to select a “Master Password”. That Master Password is the basis for the encryption key used in protecting your Encrypted Sensitive Information (see below). This Master Password is not known to uQontrol and is stored on your Qkey and is not stored in any digital form unless you explicitly ask to do so. When you enable specific services, we may collect additional information that you knowingly provide.
Encrypted Sensitive Information
In order to use the password manager and secure digital wallet, you will enter certain information into the App on the Qkey, including highly sensitive information like names, addresses, phone numbers, identity information, credit card information, passwords, receipts for online transactions and secure notes (“Encrypted Sensitive Information”). The Encrypted Sensitive Information is encrypted locally on your Qkey using strong encryption and none of it is viewable to uQontrol in unencrypted form. If you choose to synchronize your Encrypted Sensitive Information with more than one device (each an “Authorized Device” and the Service, the “Sync Function”), the Services are designed to transmit and store the Encrypted Sensitive Information through the uQontrol cloud using strong encryption and in a manner, that UQontrol will not be able to read.
Billing information
When you pay for certain services (e.g. Premium or Business Services) we will collect all information necessary to complete the transaction, including your name and billing address. Other billing information necessary to complete the transaction, like your credit card information which is collected by our payment processor, but is not made available to uQontrol.

This information is anonymized and we cannot link this anonymized usage information with a person.

This is why uQontrol implements a variety of security measures, including AES 256 bit encryption designed to prevent unauthorized access, alteration, and use of your Encrypted Sensitive Information. While uQontrol has gone to great lengths to protect your Information, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure; therefore, uQontrol cannot guarantee its absolute security. In addition, the security of your Information also depends on how you use the uQontrol App and Services and protect the Master Password that enables you to access your uQontrol account and decrypt your Encrypted Sensitive Information.
