Directly from their website:
When a user queries an agent, they provide QT with specific information about the query and the agent's reply. That information is then combined with the thousands of other records submitted to identify agent and query aspects, such as an agent's true likes and dislikes, reply times, and reply frequency. Authors can record the following data about their queries: date sent, how sent (Email, Regular Mail, Form), to whom was the query sent, genre of manuscript, word count of the manuscript, date of response, type of response, etc.
This is a must-have for querying authors! Visit QueryTracker.net
