Privacy Policy

Q4 International Projects Inc. (“Q4”, “we”, “us”) respects the confidentiality of everyone who visits this website or contacts us. This policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the choices available to you.

1. Who we are

Q4 International Projects Inc. is a U.S.-based strategic advisory and project architecture firm, with offices at 1717 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Suite 1025, 10th Floor, Washington, DC 20006, USA. Q4 is the data controller in respect of the personal information described in this policy.

2. Information we collect

We collect only what is necessary to respond to enquiries and operate this website:

• Information you send us voluntarily — when you write to info@q4int.com or otherwise contact us, we receive your name, email address, and any information contained in your message or attachments.
• Engagement information — where a professional relationship is established, we process the contact and business information necessary to perform the engagement and to meet our compliance obligations.
• Technical and usage information — when analytics are enabled with your consent, we receive aggregated information such as pages viewed, approximate region, referring website, device type, and browser.

This website does not host a contact form, does not request payment details, and does not knowingly collect special categories of personal data.

3. Cookies and analytics

Strictly necessary cookies and local storage are used to operate the website and to remember your cookie choice. These do not require consent.

Beyond that, we use Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-62NH0ENYQ4) to understand how the site is used. Analytics scripts are not loaded until you accept them in the consent banner. If you decline, no analytics cookies are set and no analytics data is sent. IP anonymisation is enabled.

Google Analytics is provided by Google LLC, which acts as our processor for this purpose. You can withdraw your consent at any time below, or by clearing your browser's site data.

4. How we use your information

• To respond to enquiries and correspond with prospective clients, partners, and counterparts.
• To evaluate, structure, and perform professional engagements.
• To meet legal, regulatory, sanctions-screening, and compliance obligations.
• To maintain the security and integrity of our systems and communications.
• To understand and improve how this website is used, where you have consented to analytics.

5. Legal bases

Where the EU or UK General Data Protection Regulation applies, we rely on: your consent (analytics cookies); the performance of, or steps preparatory to, a contract (enquiries and engagements); compliance with a legal obligation (regulatory and compliance requirements); and our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving our business and this website. Where Turkish law (KVKK) applies, we rely on the corresponding lawful grounds under Article 5 of that law.

6. Sharing and disclosure

Q4 does not sell, rent, or trade personal information. We disclose personal information only to:

• Service providers acting on our instructions, such as our website host, email provider, and analytics provider.
• Professional advisers, such as legal counsel and auditors, where necessary and under a duty of confidentiality.
• Counterparts to an engagement, only where you have instructed or authorised us to do so.
• Courts, regulators, or public authorities where required by applicable law.

7. International transfers

Q4 is established in the United States and our service providers may process information in the United States and other countries. Where personal information is transferred from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Türkiye, or another jurisdiction with transfer restrictions, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or an equivalent mechanism recognised under the applicable law.

8. Retention

We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, and thereafter for the period required to meet legal, regulatory, tax, and professional record-keeping obligations, or to establish or defend legal claims. Analytics data is retained in accordance with the retention period configured in Google Analytics.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you are located, you may have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you; to have it corrected or erased; to restrict or object to its processing; to receive it in a portable format; to withdraw consent at any time without affecting processing already carried out; and to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority. Residents of California and other U.S. states with applicable privacy laws may have the right to know what personal information is collected and to request its deletion; Q4 does not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising.

To exercise any of these rights, write to info@q4int.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

10. Security and confidentiality

Q4 applies technical and organisational measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the information we handle, and treats client and counterpart information as confidential. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure; please do not send sensitive or privileged material by unsolicited email. Where an engagement requires it, we will agree a secure channel with you.

11. Children

This website is directed at businesses, institutions, and professional counterparts. It is not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised, and the revised version applies from the date it is published here.
