Privacy Policy
Last Updated: June 2023
Your privacy is important to us, and so is being transparent about how we collect, use, and share information about you. This Privacy Policy covers the information Inviqa, as a data controller and processor, collects about you when you use our services, or otherwise interact with us, for example by using this website.
The information we collect
We collect information about you when you provide it to us, when you use our services, and when other sources provide it to us.
Please note that Inviqa is ICO-certified and certified against the Cyber Secure Essentials scheme in recognition of our compliance with GDPR and out handling of sensitive and personal information.
Profile information
We collect personal information from you such as name, job title, company name, email address, telephone and mobile number, postal address, type of industry you work in, and billing information when you express an interest in our services, events or job openings, or when you purchase services from us.
Information you provide through our website
When contracting our services, including consulting, software development, training and support, you may choose to submit information to us to help in the design and build of software, training, or regarding a problem you are experiencing with a service. Whether you designate yourself as a first-line contact, open a support ticket, speak to one of our representatives directly, or otherwise engage with us, you may be asked to provide contact information and other documentation or information that is helpful to our teams. We may also collect contact information about the teams and people you work with to help us to deliver and maintain the service you have contracted from us.
Many of our services are intended for use by organisations and, where we provide services under contract with an organisation (e.g. your employer), that organisation controls the information processed by the services. If this is the case, please direct your data privacy questions to your administrator, as your use of our services is subject to that organisation's policies.
Payment information
We collect certain payment and billing information when you engage us for paid services. For example, we may ask you to designate a billing representative, including name and contact information. You might also provide payment information, such as payment card details, which we collect via secure payment processing.
Cookies and other tracking technology
Through the use of cookies and other tracking technologies (e.g. web beacons and pixels) we collect information about your usage and activity on our website, your browsing habits, your response to emails, and when you share our content on social media or interact with our social media posts.
We use third-party services including Google Analytics to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things like the number of visitors our blog attracts. We analyse this data to see how we can improve the user experience. This information is processed in a way which does not identify anyone.
Information we receive from other sources
We may receive information about you from various third-parties including contact data from our business partners, contact data from deal brokers and events we sponsor, and contact data from publicly available sources such as Companies House. We may combine this information with information we collect through our website and our services.
How we use the information we collect
We use information we collect in a variety of ways:
To provide our services to you
We use information about you to provide the services to you, including to process transactions with you, provide customer support, and operate and maintain the services.
For research and development
We are always looking for ways to improve our services and we use information to do this to identify trends, usage, and areas for improvement.
To communicate with you
We use your contact information to send transactional communications via email including responding to your comments, questions and requests, providing customer support, and sending you technical notices, updates, security alerts, and administrative messages. These communications are part of our services and, in most cases, you cannot opt out of them. If an opt out is available, you will find that option within the communication itself, or you can contact us using the details described in the "Contact us' section.
We also use your personal information to send you marketing emails about new services, events, and other information we think you may find interesting. And from time to time we may also use your information to contact you by telephone to inform you of our services and marketing activities. You can control whether you receive marketing communications from us as described below under 'How to access and control your personal information'.
