3. What are “cookies” and other Tracking Technologies and how does QS Partners use them?

QS Partners may collect Usage Information on the Service using cookies, web beacons (also known as “tracking pixels”), embedded scripts, location-identifying technologies, and other device and activity monitoring tools (“Tracking Technologies”).

COOKIES. Cookies are small text files a website uses to recognize users and are typically placed on your device by a web server. Cookies contain information that can later be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you or that, in some cases, can be read by a third-party domain. More information about how QS Partners uses cookies, and your choices for limiting our use of cookies, can be found in the preferences center located in our website’s footer.


WEB BEACONS (“TRACKING PIXELS”) Web beacons are small graphic images, also known as “Internet tags” or “clear gifs,” embedded in webpages and email messages. Web beacons may be used to count the number of visitors to the Service, to monitor how users navigate the Service, and to count advertising and content views.

EMBEDDED SCRIPTS. An embedded script is programming code designed to collect information about your interactions with the Service. It is temporarily downloaded onto your computer from our web server, or from a third party with which we work, and is active only while you are connected to the Service and deleted or deactivated thereafter.

DEVICE AND ACTIVITY MONITORING. These technologies can monitor, and may record, certain of your interactions with the Service or collect and analyze information from your device, such as your operating system, plug-ins, system fonts, and other data, for purposes such as identification, security, fraud prevention, troubleshooting, tracking, or improving the Service and customizing or optimizing your experience on the Service. 

We may engage and work with vendors to serve advertisements on the Service or on other online services. Some of these advertisements may be tailored to your interests based on your browsing of the Service and elsewhere on the Internet, sometimes referred to as “interest-based advertising” or “online behavioral advertising” (“Interest-based Advertising”), which may include sending you an advertisement elsewhere online after you have left our Service (which is referred to as “retargeting”).

5. How long does QS Partners store Personal Information?

We keep Personal Information for no longer than necessary to achieve the purposes for which the Personal Information was collected or as required or permitted by applicable law. To determine the appropriate retention period, we will consider the scope and sensitivity of the Personal Information; the potential risk of harm from unauthorized access to, use of, or disclosure of the data; the purposes for which we process the data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means; and applicable legal requirements. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, at the end of the retention period, we will securely destroy your Personal Information or take appropriate anonymization steps. If you have specific questions about data retention, you can contact us as outlined above.

We may engage other companies and individuals, located inside or outside the United States, to perform functions on our behalf, subject to our policies and practices which include the reasonable protection of your Personal Information. These vendors may provide the following types of services:

  • hosting, maintaining, managing, and providing our Service;

In connection with or during negotiations of any proposed or actual financing of our business, or merger, purchase, sale, joint venture, or any other type of acquisition or business combination of all or any portion of our assets, or transfer of all or a portion of our business to another company, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding.

7. Your Personal Information choices

EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS. You may unsubscribe from our marketing email communications by clicking the “unsubscribe” link found in every commercial email we send, by sending a request to unsubscribe to netjets.marketing@netjets.com.

DO NOT TRACK SIGNALS. Your browser settings may allow you to transmit a “Do Not Track” signal automatically to our Service. Note, however, there is no consensus among industry participants as to what “Do Not Track” means in this context.  Like many online services, we currently do not alter our practices when we receive a “Do Not Track” signal from a visitor’s browser.

COOKIES. Our Service offers a cookie preference center that can be accessed via a link located in the website’s footer that allows you to exercise your choices regarding these technologies. Cookies may also generally be disabled or removed by tools available as part of most commercial browsers and in some instances blocked in the future by selecting certain settings. Browsers offer different functionalities and options, so you will likely need to set your preferences on each browser you use separately. Please review your browser’s Help menu for instructions or visit www.allaboutcookies.org for more information. Please note that if you disable all cookies, some features of our Service may not function.

ANALYTICS AND ADVERTISING TECHNOLOGIES. QS Partners utilizes third-party analytics applications like Google Analytics to measure and analyze the behavior of visitors on the Service as well as traffic patterns. You may exercise choices regarding the use of cookies from Google Analytics by going to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout or downloading the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

You may choose not to receive some Interest-based Advertising by submitting opt-outs.  Some of the advertisers and vendors that perform advertising-related services for us and third parties may participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance’s (“DAA”) Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising.  To learn more about how you can exercise certain choices regarding Interest-based Advertising, visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/.

Some of these companies may also be members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”). To learn more about the NAI and opt-out options for their members, see http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/.  Please be aware that opting out only means that those selected members should no longer deliver certain Interest-based Advertising to you but does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content or advertising. 

Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit these opt-out webpages, or you subsequently erase your cookies or use a different device or web browser, your DAA and NAI browser-based opt-outs may not be effective. 

We also use advertising services provided by Google Ad Services. To learn more about the data Google collects for advertising and to opt out of certain ad targeting by Google, please visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

QS Partners is not responsible for the effectiveness of any third parties’ opt-out options or the accuracy of their statements regarding their programs.

8. How does QS Partners protect my Personal Information?

We take commercially reasonable and appropriate administrative, physical, and technical measures to protect your Personal Information from loss, theft, misuse, manipulation, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, transmission via the internet is not completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of your information collected through the Service.
