If you have previously agreed to us using your personal information for direct marketing purposes, you may change your mind at any time by writing to or emailing us at info@codequotient.com.

Do Not Track

Presently, several browsers, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari, offer a "do not track" or "DNT" option that utilises a DNT header technology. This technology sends a signal to websites visited by the user, indicating the user's browser DNT preference setting. At this time, CodeQuotient does not commit to specifically responding to browsers' DNT signals concerning the Company's websites. This decision is partly due to the absence of a universally accepted industry standard for DNT endorsed by industry groups, technology companies, or regulators, including a consistent standard for interpreting user intent.

CodeQuotient places significant importance on privacy and the ability to make informed choices. As such, we will actively monitor developments related to DNT browser technology and the establishment of an industry-wide standard.

Communications from the CodeQuotient Platform

Your email address may be utilised to send newsletters and/or marketing communications from CodeQuotient. Should you prefer not to receive such communications, you have the option to opt-out by following the instructions provided in the emails.

There may be instances where we will send you essential announcements pertaining to the Service(s) when necessary. For example, in the event of temporary suspension of our Services for maintenance purposes, we may send you an email.

Please note that certain communications that are non-promotional in nature cannot be opted out of. However, if you wish to abstain from receiving such communications, you may choose to delete your account.

Privacy Assurance

We will not sell, distribute or lease your personal information to third parties unless we have your permission or are required by law to do so. We may use your personal information to send you promotional information about third parties which we think you may find interesting if you tell us that you wish this to happen.

Kindly refrain from including any personal information, personally identifiable information, or sensitive personal information unless explicitly requested by CodeQuotient as part of the registration or other relevant processes. Should CodeQuotient find that any information you have provided or uploaded violates the terms of this policy, CodeQuotient retains the right, at its sole discretion, to remove such information without assuming any liability.
