Dataquest Privacy Policy
Datquest Inc. ("Dataquest," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting information you provide to us and information collected through our website, dataquestinc.com (the "Website").
This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect, how we use that information, when information may be shared with third parties, and the choices you may have regarding the collection and use of information.
By accessing or using the Website, you acknowledge that you have had an opportunity to review this Privacy Policy. Where applicable law requires consent before information is collected, recorded, intercepted, or transmitted to a third party, Datquest will seek to obtain that consent before engaging in the applicable activity.

You should not submit confidential, sensitive, or legally protected information through a website form unless specifically requested by Dataquest.
- Information Automatically Collected
When you visit the Website, certain technical information may be transmitted automatically between your browser, our web server, and other systems used to operate and secure the Website.
Depending on the Website's configuration and your choices regarding optional technologies, this information may include:

Some information is necessary for the Website to function, maintain security, prevent abuse, and respond to requests initiated by you.
- Cookies and Similar Technologies
The Website may use cookies, pixels, tags, scripts, local storage, and similar technologies ("Tracking Technologies").
Some Tracking Technologies are necessary for Website operation, security, functionality, or the delivery of services specifically requested by you.
Other Tracking Technologies may be used for analytics, advertising, personalization, performance measurement, or other purposes that are not necessary to provide the basic website.
Where required by applicable law, Datquest will provide notice and obtain appropriate consent before activating optional Tracking Technologies or transmitting information through those technologies to third parties.
You may be presented with choices regarding optional Tracking Technologies through the Website's consent mechanism. Your choices may affect certain Website functionality.
- Third-Party Services and Information Transmission
Datquest may use third-party service providers to assist with Website hosting, security, analytics, communications, employment services, form processing, infrastructure, and other Website-related functions.
Depending on the service and your interaction with the Website, information may be transmitted to a third-party service provider.
Third-party services may include, where applicable:

- Analytics providers;
- Form and communications providers;

- Other vendors that provide services on Dataquest’s behalf.
Datquest does not authorize third parties to use information provided to them on Dataquest’s behalf for purposes unrelated to the services they provide to Dataquest, except as otherwise disclosed or permitted by law.
Where applicable law requires prior consent before information or communications are transmitted to a third party, Datquest will provide notice and obtain that consent before the applicable transmission occurs.
- Communications and Prior Consent
Datquest recognizes that information entered or submitted by a website visitor may constitute a communication between the visitor and Dataquest.
Accordingly, Datquest does not rely solely upon a visitor's subsequent review or acceptance of this Privacy Policy as consent to conduct an activity for which applicable law requires prior consent.
Where a website feature or third-party technology requires transmission, collection, recording, interception, or other processing of information for which prior consent is required by applicable law, Datquest will seek to obtain appropriate consent before the applicable activity occurs.
By affirmatively selecting a consent mechanism, submitting information through a website feature after receiving applicable notice, or otherwise providing consent through a mechanism presented to you, you authorize the activity described in that notice to the extent permitted by applicable law.
- Website Forms and Interactive Features
When you voluntarily enter information into a Datquest website form or other interactive feature and submit that information, the information is transmitted to Datquest and, where necessary to provide the requested service, may be transmitted to service providers acting on Dataquest’s behalf.
Before submitting information, you should review any notice or consent language displayed with the applicable form or feature.
Where applicable law requires affirmative prior consent to a particular transmission or processing activity, Datquest will provide an appropriate consent mechanism before that activity occurs.

- Google Analytics
Datquest uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, to help us understand how visitors use our Website and to evaluate Website performance.
Google Analytics is an optional analytics service. Dataquest’s Google Analytics technology is configured so that it does not load on the Website until a visitor affirmatively selects "Accept Analytics" through the Website's consent mechanism.
If you select "Accept Analytics," information concerning your interaction with the Website may be transmitted to Google for analytics purposes. This information may include information about your device, browser, IP address, pages viewed, Website interactions, and other technical or usage information.
If you select "Decline Analytics," Datquest will not load Google Analytics for your visit through the Website's consent-controlled analytics implementation.
Your analytics consent choice is stored so that Datquest can remember your preference on subsequent visits. You may change your preference at any time by selecting "Privacy Choices" on the Website.

- California Invasion of Privacy Act
Datquest is committed to respecting applicable privacy and communications laws, including the California Invasion of Privacy Act ("CIPA"), where applicable.
California law may impose requirements concerning the interception, recording, acquisition, or transmission of communications. Datquest does not intend to intercept or record confidential communications without the consent required by applicable law.
Where applicable law requires prior consent from a visitor before a particular communication or information is collected, recorded, intercepted, or transmitted to a third party, Datquest will provide appropriate notice and seek the required consent before engaging in that activity.
The use of this Privacy Policy is not intended to constitute retroactive consent to any activity that occurred before you received applicable notice or provided required consent.
- Data Security
Datquest uses commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
- Data Retention
Datquest retains information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, provide requested services, maintain business and financial records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, comply with legal obligations, and otherwise fulfill legitimate business purposes.
Retention periods may vary depending upon the type and nature of the information.
- Children's Privacy
The Website is not directed toward children under the age of 13.
