Future Quest may also automatically collect your IP address or other unique identifiers ("Device Identifiers") for the computer, mobile device, technology or other device (collectively, "Devices") you use to access the Website. A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to your Device when you access a property or its servers, and our computers identify your Device by its Device Identifier. Some mobile service providers may also provide us or our third-party service providers with information regarding the physical location of the Device used to access the Website.

The technologies used on the Website to collect Usage Information, including Device Identifiers, may include:

Cookies. A “cookie” is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store on your device to remember information about you, such as your language preference. Cookies that are set by Future Quest are called first-party cookies. The Website may also use third-party cookies, which are cookies set by an organization other than Future Quest, and these are typically used to support our advertising and marketing efforts. Future Quest may not control the storage or access to these cookies. You should review the privacy and cookie policies of these services to find out how these third parties use cookies and where your cookie data is being stored and processed. For more information about cookies, including how you can control their use, please review Future Quest's Cookie Policy. Web Beacons. A “web beacon” (also known as image tag, pixel tag, clear GIF or web bug) is a small piece of code used to collect advertising data, such as counting page views, promotion views or advertising responses. Web beacons or similar technologies may be used for various purposes, including, without limitation, to count visitors to the Website and to monitor how users navigate the Website. Embedded Scripts. An “embedded script” is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Website, such as the links you click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your Device from our server or a third-party service provider, is active only while you are connected to the Website, and is deactivated or deleted thereafter. Please note that third parties may collect personal information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you visit or use the Website. For example, some third parties' embedded content or plugins on the Website, such as social media sharing tools, allow their operators to learn that you have visited or interacted with the Website, and they may combine this information with other identifiable information they have collected about your visits to other websites or online services. These third parties may handle this information, and other information they directly collect through their content and plugins, pursuant to their own privacy policies.

Online Tracking. Some web browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. How browsers communicate the Do Not Track signal is not yet uniform. For this reason, the Website does not respond to such signals.

Future Quest may use third-party network advertisers to serve advertisements on the Website and third-party analytics service providers to evaluate and provide us with information about the use of the Website and viewing of our content. We do not share the information that you provide to Future Quest with these third parties, but ad network providers, the advertisers, the sponsors, and/or analytics service providers may set and access their own cookies, web beacons and embedded scripts on your Device from our Website. These cookies, web beacons, and embedded scripts may collect personal information or other information about your use of the Website over time and other third-party websites or applications and they may otherwise collect or have access to information about you, including Usage Information. Cookies and web beacons, including those set by third-party network advertisers, may be used to, among other things, target advertisements, prevent you from seeing the same advertisements too many times, or conduct research regarding the usefulness of certain advertisements to you.

Functionality on the Website may permit interactions between the Website and third-party properties, such as Facebook and Twitter. Such functionality enables you to “like” a product or online content, “share” content to other properties, and otherwise link the Website with another third-party property. If you choose to “like” or “share” content or to otherwise post information from or via the Website to a third-party property, that information may become public, and the third-party property may have access to information about you and your use of the Website.

You may also choose to participate in a third-party application or feature (such as Facebook applications or a similar application or feature on a third-party property, or otherwise linking the Website with another property) through which you allow us to collect (or the third-party to share) information about you, including personal information. When you choose to participate, you may be opting to link your activity on our Website with that third-party property, which may then collect information about your visits to our Website and may publish that activity to your "profile" or similar feature with that third-party (such as if you choose to share content you find on or Website with your "connections" on the third-party's property). The information we collect is subject to this Privacy Policy. However, the information collected and stored by the third-party remains subject to the third-party's privacy practices, including whether the third-party continues to share information with us or with other third parties, the types of information shared, and your choices regarding what is visible to others on that third-party's property. The third-party may allow you to remove an application or feature, in which case we will no longer collect information about you through the application or feature, but we may retain the information previously collected in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Certain content on the Website may be hosted and served by third parties, which may include third-party widgets (such as those that allow you to "like" or "share" content with third-party websites and interactive services or to provide ratings and reviews). In addition, when you are on the Website you may be directed to other websites that are operated and controlled by third parties that are beyond our control. This includes links from advertisers, sponsors and partners that may use our logo(s) as part of a co-branding agreement. In addition, Future Quest content and widgets may be included on web pages and websites that are not associated with us and over which we have no control. These other websites may send their own Cookies to your Device, and they may independently collect data or solicit personal information. Future Quest is not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party.

Future Quest or any of its assets, including the Website may be sold, or other transactions may occur in which information collected by the Website is a business asset in the transaction.

Hence, Future Quest and our Affiliates reserve the right to disclose and transfer user information in connection with a corporate merger, consolidation, restructuring, reorganization, the sale of certain stock and/or assets, or other corporate change including, without limitation, during the course of any due diligence process.

If you do not consent to these conditions, you must discontinue your use of the Website.

We seek to maintain reasonable security measures designed to help protect the information we collect against unauthorized or accidental disclosure, access, misuse, loss, or alteration. There is no such thing as perfect security. Although we strive to protect the information we collect, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of such information.

We may retain information as long as it is necessary for us to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. In addition, we may retain information for an additional period as is permitted or required to, among other things, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Where and when required by applicable law, we shall delete the information we collect. Even if we delete information from active databases, the information may remain on backup or storage media.
