Your browser or device may allow you to block or delete cookies. Some Site features may not function properly if certain cookies are disabled. Where legally required, we will provide appropriate cookie or consent controls.

We may use analytics and advertising services to understand how visitors use the Site and to measure or improve our marketing. These providers may collect device and usage information through cookies or similar technologies. Depending on applicable law and our actual advertising practices, you may have rights to opt out of certain targeted advertising or data sharing.

7. Sale or Sharing of Personal Information
Quaska does not sell personal information for money. Certain advertising or analytics activities may be treated as a "sale," "sharing," or targeted advertising under some privacy laws even when no money changes hands. If those laws apply to Quaska and those activities are used, we will provide any required notices and opt-out mechanisms.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including to complete transactions, maintain business and tax records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, prevent fraud, and comply with legal obligations. Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.
9. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no website, network, transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You are responsible for protecting any account credentials and using appropriate security practices on your devices.
