Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 7, 2026

This policy describes what information is handled when you read qotient.com, why it is handled and what you can do about it. The operator is whoever runs Qotient, and the words we and us refer to the operator.

Visit logs

The servers that deliver Qotient pages record routine technical details of each request: IP address, time, the page asked for, browser and device type, and the referring page. We use these records to keep the site available, investigate errors and scraping, and see in broad terms which sales and partnership topics draw readers. The lawful basis is our legitimate interest in running a secure publication.

Cookies and similar technology

The site may set only the small files needed for pages to display and behave correctly. Nothing is in place that profiles readers for marketing. If the site ever adds analytics, advertising or affiliate tracking, this policy will be updated first and consent requested where required.

Browser settings and opt-out signals

Your browser lets you refuse or clear cookies, browse privately or use extensions that restrict tracking. If it sends a global privacy or do-not-track signal, we will honour it as an opt-out wherever our tools can read it. Blocking all storage may make some page features work less smoothly.

Email and form submissions

When you write to [email protected], we receive your address, your name if you give it and the message itself. We use it to answer you, fix mistakes in articles and recall earlier exchanges, based on your request and our legitimate interest in replying. Messages are not sold or published without your permission. Please leave out business details about your deals or customers.

Newsletters

If Qotient offers a newsletter, the address you give is used only for that mailing, on the basis of your consent. Each issue will explain how to unsubscribe, and you can also ask by email to be removed.

Outside services

Publishing a site relies on a hosting provider and a delivery network, which see technical data about each visit so pages can reach you. If embedded videos, slide decks or social posts are ever added, the embed provider may receive your visit data too. Those providers work under their own notices, and our use of them rests on our legitimate interest in delivering the site.

Retention

Server logs are kept briefly, then deleted or reduced to anonymous counts. A reader’s email stays in the inbox only until the question or correction it raised is settled, unless a legal duty requires longer. Newsletter addresses, if any, are held until you unsubscribe.

Access, correction and deletion

Depending on where you live, you may ask what personal information we hold, request correction or deletion, object to particular uses, ask us to restrict handling or receive a copy. Email [email protected] and say what you need. We may ask you to confirm your identity first, and will answer within the period the law sets.

Withdrawing consent

Where we rely on your consent, you can take it back whenever you like. For cookie choices, follow the steps on the Cookie Policy page linked in the footer; for a newsletter, a short email to us is enough. Withdrawal does not affect what was done before it.

Complaints to a regulator

Should you think we have handled your details badly, you can lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority if you are in the EU, EEA or UK, or with the OAIC if you are in Australia. We would welcome the chance to put things right first, but you need not contact us before a regulator.

Younger visitors

Qotient covers B2B selling, partner programs and sales operations, subjects meant for working adults, so qotient.com is not aimed at anyone under 13. We have no wish to hold a child’s details. A parent who learns their child wrote to us can email the address above, and we will remove that message and any reply.

Security

Access to the publishing system and the inbox is limited to the operator and protected by private logins. Because readers sometimes mention employers or deals, please keep confidential commercial information out of messages. Any internet service can be breached, so we cannot promise that your details will never be exposed.

International transfers

Our hosting and delivery providers may handle data in countries other than your own, where rules on personal information can differ. We choose providers with that in mind, but the place of processing is not always in our control.

Changes to this policy

This text will be edited whenever the site’s practices or the applicable rules shift. The effective date at the top shows when the current wording began.
