“QLS” (and “we,” “us,” “our”) refers to such Quantum Learning Solutions member firm in the US that: (1) is involved in providing or receiving services or products; (2) sends you communications; (3) posted a position for which you are applying; or (4) you have a role or relationship with, including through the use of and access to our websites and applications.

Information Collection
We collect and use business contact details for individuals associated with existing and potential QLS clients to manage and maintain our relationship with those individuals. Like most businesses, we use a customer relationship management system (the “QLS CRM”) to store personal information about our business contacts.
The collection of personal information about contacts and the addition of that personal information to the QLS CRM is initiated by QLS staff and may include name, employer name, title, phone, email and other business contact details. In addition, the QLS CRM may collect data from QLS email and calendar systems concerning interactions between QLS staff and business contacts.
When we send you emails, we may use technologies to determine whether the email has been opened and whether the links contained within the message have been clicked on. We may combine information collected through these means with other information we maintain about you to measure interest in our specific offerings and email campaigns, improve our offerings to specific target audiences, and tailor our interactions with you.

Administering, managing and developing our business and services. We may process personal information to run our business, including:
