You can opt into the TQ mailing list on the homepage by providing an email address. The email address is then sent an email to confirm they want to opt-in to receive email newsletters from TQ. All emails sent thereafter have an opt-out option at anytime. It is worth noting that we don’t store their email address on the website, it is passed to our mailchimp account. The customer has the choice to add their first and last names if they wish, otherwise only their email is stored.

Purchase Price

The website copies a record of the input data into the websites SQL database and the owners name and email address are added to a registered owners list in Mailchimp.
Online Shop
Users can decide to open a TQ account. This allows them to have a website user account that stores their name and address and a record of items they have purchased and when. This is so return customers don’t have to fill in personal data every time they buy and allows us to provide an on-site download link If the customer has purchased a downloadable product such as the System Disc WAV or MP3 files. It does not hold any financial data other than the cost of items and a transaction ID number. If a customer does not open an account they can checkout as a guest, in which case no personal information is stored, it is simply collected at the checkout and sent on to Paypal where the actual transaction occurs.
