The following serves as our notice at collection (“Notice”) of Personal Information in accordance with California law. We collect Personal Information as detailed in this Notice. We do not “sell” or “share” Personal Information as those terms are defined under California law and as detailed in our Employee Privacy Notice. QuinStreet will keep your Personal Information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal or reporting requirements.

Once retention of your Personal Information is no longer necessary for the purposes outlined in this Notice, QuinStreet will either delete or de-identify it. If this is not possible (for example, because the information has been stored in backup archives), it will be isolated from further processing until deletion or de-identification is practicable. | |
