​4. PI Collected about Relocating Data Subjects – Category, Purpose, and Sharing
A. To Deliver the Services
We and our Clients agree on Services to be rendered to particular Data Subjects in connection with the relocation of such Data Subjects. As part of this process for Clients, Quest collects data about the Data Subjects from the controller (Quest’s Clients), or from the Data Subjects themselves through telephone consultations, questionnaires, or other methods of communication. Other than review of Data Subjects’ LinkedIn or other relevant social media profiles to inform our provision of the Services, we do not collect PI of such Data Subjects other than as provided to us by Clients or directly by the Data Subjects themselves.
Specifically, we collect the following basic information for each Service project: name, telephone number, email address, current address, city of destination, timing of relocation, and upcoming travel to destination. We collect the following information optionally, depending on which Services are being requested: preference for housing in city of destination (purchase or rental), salary, ages of Data Subjects within family unit, hobbies and interests of Data Subjects within family unit, preferences for schools for school age children, languages spoken and needs for local assistance with documentation requirements such as drivers’ licenses. We may also review and add the social media profiles (LinkedIn, etc.) to our file for each Data Subject in order to better tailor our Services to the needs of the particular individuals being relocated.
B. Customer Satisfaction Surveys
We may use the PI of Data Subjects who have received relocation Services to send out surveys inquiring about satisfaction with our Services. We use the data collected from survey responses to improve our Services and to report back to Clients (using only aggregate, non-personal data) on satisfaction levels.
C. General Uses
We may also use PI to analyze and improve our products and services, to better understand our Clients, their needs and the needs of their personnel being relocated, to investigate or settle any disputes, to collect amounts due to us, and to meet our legal obligations such as providing PI requested under subpoena or other mandatory legal process or by a government authority.

Though this is not likely, if Quest is ever sold (in whole or in part) or reorganized in terms of corporate structure, we may disclose and/or transfer PI to the potential purchaser of our business. In such case, we will take reasonable efforts to be sure the PI remains subject to the undertakings set forth in this Privacy Policy. We will not sell PI other than in connection with a sale or reorganization of the company.
We may also hire Subcontractors to provide some Services to our Clients. In such cases, we transfer to such Subcontractors the PI about the individuals being relocated as necessary to enable the Subcontractors to carry out their contracted Services. All such Subcontractors are required under agreements to maintain all PI in confidence and to use the PI only in order to provide the requested Services.
