Technical information
Our hosting, security, website, form, and analytics systems may automatically process limited technical and usage information such as IP address, approximate location derived from IP, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, interactions, downloads, date and time, server logs, and security events. QII uses this information to operate, secure, diagnose, measure, and improve the website and its resources.

4. Healthcare and Sensitive Information
QII is not acting as a healthcare provider through this website. A website inquiry does not establish a clinical, fiduciary, consulting, legal, or business-associate relationship.
5. Cookies and Similar Technologies
The website uses cookies or similar technologies that support security, session management, preferences, forms, core WordPress functionality, and audience measurement. QII uses Google Analytics through Site Kit by Google to understand page usage, referral sources, form interactions, successful resource access, and publication downloads. Google may process device, browser, usage, and cookie or similar identifier information under its own terms and privacy practices. QII does not use the public site for behavioral advertising and has not enabled the optional Google Analytics account data-sharing settings. Where applicable law requires consent or an opt-out for nonessential technologies, QII will provide the applicable control. See the Cookie Notice and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
6. Disclosure and Service Providers
QII may disclose information to hosting, website, security, email, form-processing, professional-adviser, or other service providers that support QII’s operations; when required by law or valid legal process; to protect rights, safety, and security; or in connection with a merger, financing, reorganization, or transfer of business assets. Service providers may process information only for the services they provide to QII and subject to applicable contractual and legal obligations.
QII does not sell personal information. QII does not knowingly share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
7. Retention
QII retains inquiry and website information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, to maintain business records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and meet legal, accounting, or security obligations. Retention periods vary according to the information and its purpose.
8. Security
QII uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information processed. No website, email system, or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure. Please do not use the contact form for sensitive or regulated information.
9. Your Choices and Rights
Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or information about certain processing; to withdraw consent; or to opt out of certain uses. QII will evaluate verified requests under applicable law. QII will not discriminate against an individual for exercising an applicable privacy right.
To submit a privacy request, use the QII contact form, identify the request as a privacy inquiry, and do not include sensitive information. QII may need to verify your identity before completing a request.
10. Children’s Privacy
This website is intended for business and professional audiences and is not directed to children under 13. QII does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the website. If you believe a child has provided information, contact QII so it can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.
11. External Links
The website may link to third-party sites or publications. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this Privacy Policy.
12. Changes to This Policy
QII may update this policy as its services, technology, or legal obligations change. The effective date at the top identifies the current version. Material changes will be communicated when required by law.
