B. Information Collected Automatically
We log each website visitor's domain and IP address automatically. This information does not identify you as an individual, but only the computer that is being used to view the site. We use this information (such as the type of browser used, the type of operating system used, and the domain name of the Internet service provider) for internal statistical analysis only, such as to see where the website is being used geographically. We do not link the information automatically logged by such means with any personally identifiable data about you.

C. Information Collected Through Cookies
"Cookies" are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer's hard-drive. The cookies we use do not collect any personally identifying information about you or provide us with any way to contact you, and the cookies do not extract any information from your computer. We use cookies on our website in conjunction with the automatically collected unique anonymous identifiers referred to above for web traffic statistics purposes only. Many commonly available browsers permit you to reject cookies from this site, and you may use this site with that feature of the browser enabled, by following the instructions on the “Help” menu bar of the browser. However, you understand and agree that if you choose to reject all cookies, you may be unable to use some of the features and content on the website.

D. Information You Submit to Us
When you request information from us through this website, or if you use those features of the site that allow you to communicate with us by electronic mail or otherwise, we will need some of your personal information to respond to your request. If, therefore, you choose to use these features, you will need to provide us with certain personal information necessary in order for us to communicate with you. Note that you are under no obligation to provide us with this information, but without it, we will not be able to take the action requested.

For example, we will need your personal information in order to send you newsletters, reports or other white papers, or notices of various events (“HyperQuest Materials”). For this purpose, we collect such information as your name, address, phone and fax numbers, and e-mail address. We collect this information only to accommodate your requests.

In requesting your personal information in order to fulfill your request to receive HyperQuest Materials in electronic format, we require that you click on a button at the relevant part of the site to communicate your consent to the use of your personal information to accommodate your request. You will be given an opportunity to unsubscribe from receipt of HyperQuest Materials in electronic format on each occasion that we contact you by email.

If you are interested in applying for career opportunities at HyperQuest and choose to submit your personal and employment information by email or our online application system, we will use it only for the internal application review process. Note that we retain all unsuccessful applications for a certain period of time (usually 6 to 12 months), and during that time, unless you ask us not to, we will also keep your resume under review in the event that a suitable new vacancy arises in which you might be interested.

If you are a client of HyperQuest there are certain areas of our site reserved for your exclusive use. In order to access these areas, you will need to register. To register it is required that you input some personal information including your name, business address, contact telephone number, email address, and business type. This registration information may change from time to time without notice. Upon registration, we will submit to you a unique password and username that will enable you to log in to these relevant [reserved] aspects of the site, at which time you will be asked to reset your password.

You may request at any time that we correct or delete your personal information in our database. To request such correction or deletion, please contact our Data Administrator at info@hyperquest.com.

E. Information from Minors
The HyperQuest, Inc. website is directed at adults. If you are under the age of eighteen, please do not provide us with any of your personal information, including your e-mail address.

III. How We Protect and Secure Personal Information

We have implemented security policies and technical measures to protect the personal information that we have under our control, consistent with applicable privacy and security law. These security measures are designed to prevent unauthorized access, improper use or disclosure, unauthorized modification, and unlawful destruction or accidental loss.

IV. When and Where We May Transfer Personal Information

We may use certain third-party organizations (such as eFax service companies) (“Service Providers”) to assist us in providing you with the materials you request from us. If you have provided us with personal information for these purposes, we will share that information with such organizations in order that they may help us make the necessary arrangements to provide you with the requested materials. We have included in our agreements with these third parties requirements that they protect the privacy and security of your personal information in strict accordance with our own privacy policy as set forth herein.

We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law or to comply with legal process.

Because the HyperQuest, Inc. website is operated from the United States, if you submit information through our website from a location outside the United States, it will automatically be transmitted to us in the United States. If you are located outside the United States and do not want your personal information to be transferred to the United States, please do not provide us with such information.

V. Policy Modifications

We reserve the right to modify this privacy policy as may be appropriate. You should check the policy frequently to ensure that you are familiar with its current content.
