Acceptable use and ethical sourcing
HQL Solutions LLC. These requirements apply according to the activity, location and governing law; this notice does not certify universal compliance.
Purpose
This policy describes requirements for the sourcing and use of data for HQL’s B2B services, subject to the applicable service agreement. No consumer lead-generation service is offered by the website.
Prohibited activity
Do not use stolen, leaked or deceptively obtained data, false identities, fabricated engagement or qualifications, harvested sensitive personal information, purchased consent that does not cover the intended use, or material obtained in breach of applicable law. Do not circumvent access restrictions or platform controls. Do not generate deceptive messages or use contact information to harass, discriminate or make unlawful consequential decisions.
Client and supplier responsibilities
A proposed engagement must establish permitted purposes, lawful sourcing, recipient geography, source transparency, consent evidence where needed, data accuracy, suppression, authorised disclosures and deletion/return requirements. A client’s assertion that data is lawful is not sufficient where further diligence is required. Contracts should permit proportionate review, remediation or refusal of an unlawful instruction.
Sensitive data and incident escalation
Sensitive-category, children’s, criminal-offence, health, financial and biometric data require specialist assessment and are outside the ordinary B2B brief. Escalate suspected misuse, unlawful sourcing or security incidents through the HQL contact route. Prasad Bhange handles privacy enquiries. Client-specific escalation and incident procedures must be documented for each service.
