How we share information

We Do Not Sell Your Information

ibrandIQ users create and share sensitive and proprietary data on our platform. Since we appreciate our users’ need for privacy, we adhere to a straightforward business model. This means that, no matter what ibrandIQ plan you choose, we will never sell information about you, nor your data and metadata, to advertising companies or other third parties.

In order to function properly, our widgets set a cookie that records the unique journey ID. This cookie is set once a user has selected to visit a retailer. On retailers we partner with we use this cookie to create a record associated product sales. We do not store any personal information when we track sales of products.

Legal Compliance and Fraud Prevention

In exceptional circumstances, we may disclose information about you to a third party if we receive a request and believe that the disclosure is in accordance with or required by any applicable law, rule or regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request. We may also do so to enforce our Terms of Service, investigate potential violations, prevent and detect fraud, track and solve security or technical issues, and protect against any harm to the rights, property or safety of ibrandIQ, its users, or the public as required or permitted by law.

Changes in Business

If ibrandIQ engages in a merger, acquisition, reorganisation, bankruptcy, dissolution, sale of company assets, financing, public offering of securities, or due diligence and other steps in contemplation and negotiation of such activities, we may share or transfer information that we collect under this privacy policy, subject to standard confidentiality agreements.
