If you request that your Personal Information be erased or deleted or that HighQuest Partners otherwise restrict its collection and use of Personal Information, HighQuest Partners may terminate or limit your access to the Websites, Events, and Mobile Apps. If HighQuest Partners has not collected or used your Personal Information, or has not disclosed your Personal Information to another party, we will inform you of that in response to any of the above requests. Some information may remain in our backup media after erasure or deletion for a period of time.

HighQuest Partners also may use any anonymized aggregated statistical data derived from or incorporating Personal Information after it is updated, erased, or deleted, but not in a manner that would identify you.

We will confirm receipt of all such requests, provide information about how HighQuest Partners will process the request, and substantively respond to all such requests consistent with the Privacy Laws. There may be a delay in processing a request while we verify that the request is valid and originates from you as opposed to an unauthorized third party. Our verification process varies based on the source and nature of the request, but may include: comparing data in the request against Personal Information we retain; contacting you using other contact information; requesting further information, although we will avoid doing so to the extent possible; and the consideration of certain factors, including the type, sensitivity, and value of your Personal Information, the risk of harm to you posed by an unauthorized request, the likelihood that fraudulent or malicious actors would seek your Personal Information, the manner in which we interact with you, the available technology, and whether the information you have provided to verify your identity is sufficiently robust to protect against fraudulent requests. To the extent permitted by the Privacy Laws, HighQuest Partners retains the right to deny any request if we cannot verify that it originated from you.

HighQuest Partners retains records of all of the above requests and our responses as required by the Privacy Laws.

When you update information, we may maintain a copy of the unrevised information in our records. Please note that some information may remain in our private records after your deletion of such information from your account. We may use any aggregated data derived from or incorporating your Personal Information after you update or delete it, but not in a manner that would identify you personally.

2. Authorized Agent

You may authorize an agent to take any of the acts permitted in this Section J on your behalf. To do so, you must provide written and signed authority to the agent, and written and signed notice to HighQuest Partners that we may act on such requests by that agent.

3. Withdrawal of Consent

To the extent that we process your Personal Information based on your consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us as described in Section T below.

If an individual is dissatisfied with our response to an objection or challenge or wishes to file a complaint with a regulatory authority first, the individual may do so, including as follows:

PIPEDA: Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada;

CCPA: California Attorney General; and

GDPR: supervisory authority in the relevant European Union member state

PII Laws: the relevant states’ Attorney General’s office.

7. Prohibit Automated Processing

1. Denying goods or services to you;

2. Charging different prices or rates for goods or services, including through the use of discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties;

3. Providing a different level or quality of goods or services to you; and

HighQuest Partners' Financial Incentives

HighQuest Partners does not offer any financial incentives for providing Personal Information, however, some of the features and services we offer – including Event attendance, use of the Websites, and use of the Mobile Apps – may be partially limited or wholly unavailable without your Personal Information.

Security commitment

We use appropriate physical, administrative, technological, and organizational measures to ensure an appropriate level of security for the Personal Information we collect. Having said that, the safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Websites, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. If you suspect unauthorized access to your information, it is your responsibility to contact us immediately.

Links and Banner Advertisements

Most of our Websites and Mobile Apps contain links and banner advertisements that link our Websites and Mobile Apps to other third party websites. This Privacy Policy does not govern those websites. Users should consult those websites’ privacy policies before using them. We have no control over, and make no representations or warranties concerning, the information that those linked sites collect from you or the manner in which they protect or use your Personal Information.

Children

The Websites are not intended for use by children and should not be used by children. We understand the importance of protecting children’s information, especially in an online environment, and We do not knowingly collect or maintain Personal Information about children.

Contractual of Statutory Requirement

Except as noted in this Privacy Policy or in contractual documents, HighQuest Partners' collection and use of Personal Information is not a contractual or statutory requirement or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract.

Failure to Provide Personal Information

You can always opt not to disclose information to us, but keep in mind some information may be needed to register with us, attend Events, or use the Websites and Mobile Apps.

Automated Decision Making

HighQuest Partners does not rely on automated decision-making, including profiling, and will not subject you to decisions based solely on automated processing which will produce legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affecting you.

Transfer of Data

If and to the extent that HighQuest Partners transfers Personal Information from another country into the United States, we do so in compliance with the laws of the originating country.
