Cookies

We may also use ‘cookies’ on our website to provide a way for the website to recognise you and keep a track of your preferences and to enable you to contact us directly from the website. Cookies may also be used to optimise website speed for your convenience, to allow you to customize our web pages and so that you do not have to keep filling in your details repeatedly. We may collect information about your IP address and how you used our site.

That data collected by cookies does not usually identify you but may be combined with other information to identify you. If we identify you using information from cookies, we may use that information to track how you use our website and send you information more specific to your needs, or to invite you to purchase one of our services.

Use of Data

We sell anonymised insights and trends based on your personal data collected through our survey platform.

The personal data you provide to us is stored at The Intelligence E-gency which has strict security to ensure data protection, integrity, and confidentiality. While we do our best to ensure the security of your data, no storage is 100% secure and we cannot guarantee the safety of your data. From The Intelligence E-gency, your anonymised data is then transferred to our Client provided explicit consent was received from yourself. Such a transfer may include transfer of information across boarders depending on where the Client is. This means your data may be transferred to, and stored, computers outside of your state or country and the data protection laws may be different from those where you live.
