AdvanceIQ Inc. ("AdvanceIQ," "we," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use the AdvanceIQ platform and services (the "Service"). By using the Service, you consent to the practices described in this policy.
Account Information. When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and hashed password. You may choose to provide additional information such as your job title or organization.

Recipient Information. When you invite recipients to view a brief, you provide their email address and optionally their name. We send brief notification emails on your behalf using the recipient email addresses you provide.
Recipient Interactions. We automatically collect information when your recipients open or take action on a brief, including timestamps and any notes they submit.
Usage Data. We collect information about how you interact with the Service, including pages visited, features used, and the time and duration of sessions. We also collect your IP address, browser type, and device information.
