Privacy Policy
Draft for legal review. This text has not yet been approved by legal counsel and may change. Items in square brackets are still to be confirmed.
This Privacy Policy explains how HorizonQI LLC, a [state of formation] limited liability company with its registered address at [registered address] ("HorizonQI", "we", "us") collects and uses personal information when you visit horizonqi.net or contact us through it.
Information we collect
We collect only what you choose to send us and what is needed to run the website securely:
- Information you enter in our forms, such as your name, email address, phone number, company, role, and your message. Some forms ask for optional business details, such as an investment range, revenue band, budget or timeline.
- Files you attach to a form, such as a project brief or a résumé.
- Technical information processed when you use the website, such as your IP address and browser details. Our hosting provider and our anti-spam service process this information to deliver the website and block automated abuse.
How we use your information
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising profiles.
- To respond to your enquiry, arrange a consultation, or prepare a proposal.
- To assess job applications you send us.
- To protect the website and our forms against spam and abuse.
- To meet our legal obligations.
How your form submissions are handled
The website does not keep a database of submissions. When you send a form, its contents and any attachments are delivered by email to HorizonQI's mailbox, where they are kept and handled by our team. If you provided an email address, we may also send you a short receipt that does not repeat your message.
Enquiries made through our Financial Advisory forms are read only by our advisory team.
Service providers
We use these providers to run the website. They process information on our behalf:
- Netlify, Inc.: website hosting.
- Resend: delivery of form submissions and receipts by email.
- Cloudflare, Inc. (Turnstile): checking that form submissions come from people, not bots.
- [Email provider]: our business mailbox, where submissions are kept.
- Google (Google Analytics): website statistics, only if you accept analytics cookies.
- Cal.com: meeting scheduling, only if you choose to book a meeting.
How long we keep information
[Retention periods to be confirmed by counsel.] We propose to keep enquiry emails for up to 24 months after our last contact with you, and job applications for up to 12 months, unless we need them longer for an ongoing relationship or a legal obligation.
Where information is processed
HorizonQI is based in the United States, and our service providers may process information in the United States and other countries. [Counsel to confirm transfer safeguards for visitors outside the United States.]
Your choices and rights
You can ask us to access, correct or delete the personal information you sent us, or to stop contacting you, by writing to [contact email]. Depending on where you live, for example in the European Union, the United Kingdom or certain US states, you may have additional rights under local law. [Counsel to confirm which laws apply and the response timeframes.]
Security
We use encrypted connections (HTTPS) for the website, check uploaded files before accepting them, and limit access to our mailbox. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
Children
This website is intended for businesses and professionals. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from children.
