Privacy Policy

Last Updated May 2026

This policy explains our information practices and technologies, the choices you can make about how QASource collects and uses your information, and how you can control your personal data.

This is the Privacy and Cookie Policy (the "Privacy and Cookie Policy") of QASource and our portfolio of companies (referred to collectively in this Privacy and Cookie Policy as "we," "our," "us," or the "Company"). Collectively, our products, services, and associated websites are referred to as the "Sites." Persons accessing our Sites are referred to as "you."

This Privacy and Cookie Policy is a legally binding agreement between QASource and its portfolio of companies (parent company Raico, Inc., doing business as QASource, a California corporation with offices at 73 Ray Street, Pleasanton, California 94566, United States of America), and you as a user of our Sites. Please note that if your Company hires QASource to provide services, your Company and QASource may enter into a separate agreement that will govern the processing of all information and data collected by QASource in connection with the service. Such agreement takes precedence over any conflicting provision in this Privacy Policy.

Please review this privacy and cookie policy and the terms of use carefully. By submitting your information to us or by using the sites, QASource will assume that you have read, understood, and consent to the uses described in this privacy and cookie policy. If you do not consent, you should not access or use the Sites or submit your Personal Data to us.

If you have any comments or questions about our Sites, including our use of cookies, please contact us at info@qasource.com or +1 (925) 271-5555, or write to us at QASource, Attn: Legal, 73 Ray Street, Pleasanton, California 94566, USA.

  1. Our Cookie Policy

    When you visit or submit forms at websites located at QASource.com and other websites that are owned or operated by QASource through your desktop or mobile device, we may use cookies and other tracking technologies to deliver and improve the Sites, to display relevant content, products, and services on the Sites, and for other important purposes which are identified below in this Privacy and Cookie Policy.

    By clicking "Allow All" in the Cookiebot cookie panel on our Sites, you affirmatively consent to our use of all cookies as described in this Privacy and Cookie Policy. You may also choose "Allow Selection" to consent to specific categories only, or "Deny" to allow only strictly necessary cookies. No non-essential cookies will be set without your explicit consent.

    We may change this Privacy and Cookie Policy. Please check back to review any updates to this Cookie Policy. The last updated date at the top of this page indicates when this Privacy and Cookie Policy was last revised. Any changes in this Privacy and Cookie Policy will become effective when we make the revised Privacy and Cookie Policy available on or through the Sites.

    Cookies set by QASource are retained for a maximum period of 12 months from the date of your consent, after which your preferences will be reset and you will be asked to consent again. Please note that third-party cookies placed by our service providers (such as Google Analytics, LinkedIn, and YouTube) may have different retention periods governed by their respective privacy policies.

    1. What Is a Cookie?

      Cookies are small text files that are sent to and stored on your computer or on your mobile device from our servers. They are widely used in order to make websites and cloud-based services work in a better, more efficient way. For example, they can recognize you and remember important information that will make your use of a website or cloud-based service more convenient (e.g., by allowing you to enter a password less frequently or remembering your user preferences). Taken alone, cookies do not personally identify you — rather, they merely recognize your web browser. Unless you choose to identify yourself to QASource by filling out a web form, or you have previously identified yourself to us, you remain anonymous.

    2. What Cookies Do We Use?

      We use different types of cookies on our Sites to make your interaction with our Sites easy and meaningful: strictly necessary cookies, functionality cookies, analytics cookies, and advertising cookies.

      The Sites may include first-party cookies (i.e., cookies that send data directly to QASource and agents and contractors acting on our behalf, including cookies used to monitor, analyze, and administer the Sites) and third-party cookies (i.e., cookies that send data to our contractors for their commercial use).

      We use cookies that are session-based and persistent-based. Session cookies exist only during one session and disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device after closing your browser.

      You can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level, as discussed below, for instructions on how to do so), but note that if you choose to disable cookies, it may limit your use of certain features or functions on our Sites. Below, we describe the different types of cookies we may use on the Sites and our purpose for using them. You have the ability to opt out and limit which cookies apply to your use of our Sites — more information on how to change your browser's cookie settings is provided below.

      1. Strictly Necessary Cookies

        Some cookies are essential to the operation of our Sites. They are used to facilitate our log-in process, authenticate users, and enable you to navigate the Sites and use their features.

        They are also used by our customer service team for in-product messaging and analytics. Without these cookies, we may not be able to provide certain products, services, or features, and the Sites may not perform as smoothly as we would like.

        Because strictly necessary cookies are essential to operate our products on the Sites, there is no option to opt out of these cookies.

      2. Functionality Cookies

        In some circumstances, we may use functionality cookies. Functionality cookies allow us to remember the choices you make while browsing on the Sites and to provide enhanced and more personalized content and features, such as customizing a certain webpage or application page, remembering if we have asked you to participate in a promotion, and for other services you request, like watching a video or commenting on a blog. In order to permit your connection to the Sites, our servers receive and record information about your computer and browser, potentially including your IP address, browser type, and other software or hardware information. All of these features help us to improve your visit and assist in navigation of the Sites' features. To manage the use of functionality cookies on our Sites, or to opt out of their use, follow the instructions in this Privacy and Cookie Policy. Note that opting out may impact the functionality you receive when using our Sites.

      3. Analytics Cookies

        Our service providers and we may use analytics cookies (also known as performance cookies) to collect information about your use of the Sites and to help improve how they function.

        These cookies collect information such as which pages you visit most frequently and how you interact with the Sites. This helps us understand usage patterns, identify issues users may encounter, and evaluate the effectiveness of our advertising.

        To manage the use of analytics cookies on our Sites, or to opt out of their use, follow the instructions below. Note that opting out may impact the functionality you receive when using our Sites.

      4. Advertising Cookies

        We may use cookies and similar technologies to correlate your use of the Sites with personal information we have about you. For example, if you request information about our services or promotions, we may use cookie and clickstream data to understand your interactions with our Sites.

        By analyzing this information, we can tailor the content and information we provide to better match your interests based on your previous online activities and preferences.

        We also use third-party advertising cookies. These cookies may be used by us and our service providers to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and aligned with your interests.

        To manage the use of advertising cookies on our Sites, or to opt out of their use, follow the instructions below. Note that opting out may impact the functionality you receive when using our Sites.

        When you first visit our Sites, a cookie consent panel will appear in the bottom-left corner of the page, powered by Cookiebot. This panel offers the following options:

        • Allow All — consent to all cookie categories.

        • Customize — provide consent for specific cookie categories based on your preferences.

        • Deny — allow only strictly necessary cookies.

          You may withdraw your consent or change your preferences at any time by clicking the Cookiebot icon on the left side of any page. Withdrawing consent will immediately disable all non-essential cookies for your session.
          Cross-domain Consent Sharing helps ensure that your cookie preferences are consistently applied across different domains. This functionality will only work if certain conditions are met:

          • Your browser allows third-party cookies, although some browsers like Safari, Firefox, and Brave block them by default and Chrome is phasing them out;

          •  The "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting is disabled; and 
          • You accept cookies in the "Preferences" category, as this feature depends on a local storage item classified under that category.

  2. Third-Party Cookies on the Sites

    In some circumstances, we may work with third parties to provide services on our Sites. For example, we use analytics services supported by third-party companies that generate analytics cookies on our behalf. We may not have access to these cookies, although we may use statistical information arising from the cookies provided by these third parties to customize content and for the other purposes described above.

    These companies may also transfer this information to other parties when required by law, or when such other parties process the information on their behalf. We may not control these third-party cookies, and their use may be governed by the privacy policies of the third parties that employ them.

    To learn about these cookies and to disable or reject third-party cookies, please refer to the relevant third party's website and privacy policy.

  4. Our Data Policy

    1. How Information Is Being Collected

      1. Personal Data

        As you interact with and use our Sites, we may collect and use your personal data. We use the term "Personal Data" to refer to any information that identifies or can be used to identify you. Common examples of Personal Data include:

        • Full name
        • Company and Company information
        • Email address
        • Information about your device: manufacturer and model of your device; Internet Service Provider ("ISP"); Internet Protocol ("IP") address (or other device identifier); browser type; and operating system
        • Metadata: Location; cookies; access times and dates; referring/exit pages; clickstream data; pages of the Sites that you visit; the time spent on those pages or interacting with certain portions of the Sites; information you search for on the Sites.
        • Employee and Workforce Privacy: if you are a QASource employee or contractor, the collection and processing of your employment-related Personal Data (such as government-issued IDs, financial information, and background check results) is governed by our separate Employee Privacy Notice.
      2. Sensitive Personal Data

        We use the term "Sensitive Personal Data" to refer to a subset of Personal Data considered more sensitive, such as race and ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade-union membership, genetic or biometric information, physical or mental health information, medical insurance data, or sexual orientation.

        Our Sites are not designed to collect Sensitive Personal Data (such as race, ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, genetic or biometric data, health information, or sexual orientation). We ask that you do not submit Sensitive Personal Data through our Sites.

      3. Information You Provide Us

        If you use certain of our services or communicate with us (by phone, chat, email, web forms, social media, or other means of communication), you may be required to provide us certain information and Personal Data, in the following ways:

        • Information that you provide by filling in forms on our website. This includes information provided at the time of registering to use our services, subscribing to our services, posting material, requesting further services, or applying for a job at QASource.

        If you do not provide us with Personal Data, your ability to use certain aspects of our products and services may be limited.

      4. Information Provided to Us by Our Customers and Prospective Customers

        Because our products and services are intended to be accessed and used by multiple users for each of our customers, we may receive information and Personal Data about you that was submitted to us by our customer (your employer). Further, due to the nature of our products and services, it is possible that our customers may provide us, in the course of using our products and services, information and Personal Data about their own users and customers.

        We require our customers to agree not to share such information with us; however, we cannot control what our customers disclose to us. If Personal Data pertaining to you as an individual has been submitted to us by one of our customers and you wish to exercise any rights you may have to access, correct, amend, or delete such data, please inquire with our customer directly.

        Because our personnel have limited ability to access data our customers submit to our products and services, if you wish to make your request directly to us, please provide the name of the QASource (or related Company) customer who submitted your data to us. We will refer your request to that customer and support them as needed in responding within a reasonable timeframe.

        This type of information is collected automatically by our servers when you access our Sites or use our services. The information we collect automatically is statistical data and may or may not include Personal Data, but we may maintain it or associate it with Personal Data we collect in other ways or receive from third parties.

        It helps us to improve and to deliver better and more personalized services, including by enabling us to:

        • Store information about your preferences, allowing us to customize our services according to your individual interests.
        • Speed up your searches.

        2. Web Beacons

          Pages of our services or our emails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit us, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or opened an email and for other related website statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain website content and verifying system and server integrity).

      6. Information We Collect from Your Use of Our Services and/or Third-Party Services

        We may also collect information about you from your interaction with and use of certain functionalities on our Sites:

        2. Public Forums

          Please note that if you use any comment posting feature or post any information available for viewing by other users, any of the information that you share will be visible to other users. The information that you make available can be read, used, and collected by other users to send you unsolicited messages outside of the Sites. We are not responsible for the manner in which the Personal Data that you decide to share in this way will be used by other users.

        3. Social Media

          We operate and maintain social media pages on platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Instagram. We may, from time to time, import comments and posts from these third-party platforms to the QASource Sites. If you post to any of our networking pages on third-party social media platforms, you are providing information to the public and do so at your own risk. Further, we may use these postings on our Sites without notice or compensation to you. Please visit the privacy policies of any third-party social media platforms before posting to our pages there.

      7. Information We Collect from Other Sources

  5. Our Legal Basis for Collecting Personal Data

    Whenever we collect Personal Data from you, we may do so on the following legal bases:

    • Your consent to such collection and use;
    • Out of necessity for the performance of a contract between you and us, such as your agreement to use our services or our products;
    • Our legitimate business interest, including but not limited to the following circumstances where collecting/using Personal Data is necessary for:
      • Intra-company transfers of employee/client data for administrative purposes;
      • Product Development and Enhancement — where the processing enables us to enhance, modify, personalize, or otherwise improve our services and communications for the benefit of our customers, and to better understand how people interact with our Sites;
      • Communications, Marketing, and Intelligence — including processing data for direct marketing purposes (subject to your right to opt out as provided below) and to determine the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns and advertising;
      • Fraud detection and prevention (crime prevention);
      • Industry watch-lists and industry self-regulatory schemes;
      • Enhancement of our cybersecurity, including improving the security of our network and information systems;
      • General Corporate operations and due diligence.
    • Compliance with our legal obligations.

    Provided that, in each circumstance, we will weigh the necessity of our processing for the purpose against your privacy and confidentiality interests, including taking into account your reasonable expectations, the impact of processing, and any safeguards which are or could be put in place. In all circumstances, we will limit such processing for our legitimate business interest to what is necessary for its purpose.

  6. How We Use Your Personal Data

    We will use Personal Data only in ways that are compatible with the purposes for which it was collected or subsequently authorized by you. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that Personal Data is relevant to its intended use, accurate, complete, and up to date. This section provides additional information on how we use your Personal Data.

    We use information about you to provide, maintain, personalize, and improve our services and to deliver the information and support your requests, including support, marketing, and administrative messages.

    We may use information we collect to send you news and information about our services and to communicate with you about products or services. You may opt out of receiving promotional emails or text messages from us by following the instructions in those emails or text messages.

  7. How and With Whom We Share Your Personal Data

    Our policy is not to share the Personal Data we collect with third parties other than as specified below, or unless a user expressly consents to our sharing of certain information with a specified third party.

    We will never share any Sensitive Personal Data with any other third party unless you have explicitly consented to such disclosure.

We may also employ third-party companies and individuals for any of the following: to facilitate the Sites; to provide the Sites or portions of the Sites on our behalf; to perform related services, including without limitation maintenance services, database management, fulfillment, web analytics, and improvement of the features or functionality; or to assist us in analyzing how the Sites are being used. It is our policy to only share Personal Data with contractors, service providers, and other third parties who are bound by contractual obligations to keep Personal Data confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them. Under certain circumstances, you may avoid having us share your information with our business partners and vendors by not granting us permission to share your information.

  14. International Transfer

    We are committed to complying with applicable laws, regulations, and mandatory government standards regarding the protection of Personal Data.

    Since we are a global organization, Personal Data and any additional information submitted may be used globally in connection with employment, business processes within QASource, or communicating with our clients and prospective clients. Therefore, Personal Data may be transferred to other QASource entities worldwide, where it will be processed in accordance with this Privacy and Cookie Policy and the laws applicable in each country.

    When transferring Personal Data outside the European Economic Area, we implement appropriate safeguards on a case-by-case basis, as required by applicable law, including the use of the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (as adopted under Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914) or other approved transfer mechanisms under the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR").

  15. Security

    We are very concerned with safeguarding your information. We employ administrative, physical, and electronic measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, taking into account technological reality, cost, the scope, context, and purposes of processing, weighted against the severity and likelihood that the processing could threaten individual rights and freedoms. For example, we use commercially reasonable security measures such as encryption, firewalls, and Transport Layer Security (TLS) or Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) to protect Personal Data.

    Please note that no security system is impenetrable. Accordingly, we do not guarantee the security of our databases, nor that information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet or other network. Any information you transmit to us, you do so at your own risk. We are not responsible for the circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained in or on our services. Where we have given you (or you have chosen) a password to access certain parts of our services, you are responsible for keeping it confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

    In the event of a personal data breach, QASource will:

    • Notify the relevant supervisory authority without undue delay, and where feasible within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, as required by GDPR Article 33 (where applicable);
    • Notify affected individuals without undue delay where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to their rights and freedoms, as required by GDPR Article 34 (where applicable);
    • Comply with all applicable U.S. state breach notification laws, including providing notice in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay.

  16. "Do Not Track" Signals

    Some web browsers may be configured to send Do Not Track signals to websites, or users may use similar mechanisms to indicate a user's preference that certain web technologies not be used to track the user's online activity. The Sites do not accept or process such Do Not Track signals or similar mechanisms.

If you are under 13, do not use or provide any information on or through our services.
