At Brandreport, we want you to know that we value your personal information and that we respect your privacy. Please read our Privacy Policy for more information.

Your Consent. By using Brandreport, Brandreport.app, and any subdomain or premium service offered by Brandreport, you consent to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with or you are not comfortable with any aspect of this Privacy Policy, you should immediately discontinue access or use of our Website and Services.

What personal information we collect and why we collect it?

As used herein, ‘personal information’ shall mean data that can be used to identify you. The Brandreport Privacy Policy covers all personal information that you voluntarily submit to Brandreport and that we may obtain from our partners or Affiliates.

When ordering or registering on our site, as appropriate, you may be asked to enter your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, credit card information, IP addresses or other details to help you with your experience. We also retain your information to be able to give you access to our content, products, and services. Some plugins we use on this website will also collect data for the benefit of our visitors.

Generally, Brandreport will use your personal information in order to create, develop, operate and deliver the Brandreport Services and maintain the Brandreport Platform and Website. Brandreport will use such information:

• To comply with Brandreport’s legal and regulatory obligations;
• To prevent potentially prohibited or illegal behavior, including violations of the Brandreport User Agreement;
• To process transactions and send confirmations;
• To verify the identity of Brandreport account holders;
• To resolve disputes and troubleshoot problems;
• For Brandreport Services quality control;
• To enhance Brandreport Platform and Website security, monitor for security risks and combat fraud;
• To communicate with you about Brandreport Services as well as other, third party offerings;
• To deliver target marketing, service update notices, promotional offers and communication preferences;
• To provide or respond to any other service request.

Brandreport will not use your personal information for purposes other than those purposes that Brandreport will disclose to you either in this Privacy Policy or via the other methods as explained above. From time to time Brandreport may request permission to allow Brandreport to share certain personal information with third parties or Affiliates. You may opt out of having your personal information shared with third parties, or from allowing Brandreport to use your personal information for any purpose that is incompatible with the purposes for which we originally collected such information. If you choose to limit Brandreport’s use of your personal information, certain features of the Brandreport Platform or Website may not be available to you.

Brandreport may, from time to time, obtain information about you from third party sources as required or permitted by applicable law, rule or regulation. These third-party sources include public databases, credit bureaus, ID verification partners, resellers and other partners, joint marketing partners and social media platforms.

In some cases, Brandreport may process additional data about you to ensure that the Services are not being used for fraudulent purposes or other illicit activities.

In addition to public databases and ID verification partners, Brandreport may also collect information about your publicly available social media profile, interests or preferences and page-view information from third party business partners with Brandreport which may operate additional or co-branded services. Brandreport collects this information to better understand and/or maintain and improve the accuracy of the records that Brandreport holds as well as for purposes of promoting the Brandreport Services. In addition, Brandreport may use this information in conjunction with your browsing habits (as obtained from third party vendors) as well as your contact details, professional information and Brandreport Account transaction history to deliver targeted advertising and marketing to you, where permitted by applicable law and in accordance with any advertising/marketing preferences you may have selected on the Brandreport Platform.

Cookie Policy

If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information. Login cookies last up to several months. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

• Compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interactions in order to offer better site experiences and tools in the future. We may also use trusted third-party services that track this information on our behalf.

Embedded content from other websites.

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

How Long We Retain Your Data?

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time. Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Brandreport stores your information securely throughout the life of your Brandreport Account. Brandreport will retain your personal information for a minimum of five (5) years, or as necessary to comply with Brandreport’s legal and regulatory obligations, or as needed in order to resolve any disputes.

What Rights You Have over Your Data?

You are entitled to review, correct or amend your personal information or to delete such information where such information is inaccurate. If you have an account on this site you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. If you close your Brandreport Account, Brandreport will mark your account in our internal database as ‘closed.’ However, your Brandreport Account information will be maintained in our database. The retention of your personal information is necessary in order to deter fraud, by ensuring that persons who try to commit fraud will not be able to avoid detection simply by closing their Brandreport Account and opening a new account. However, if you close your Brandreport Account, your personal information will not be used by Brandreport for any further purposes, nor will it be sold or shared with third parties, except as necessary to prevent fraud and assist law enforcement, rule or regulation, or in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy.

How Brandreport Protects and Stores Personal Information?

Brandreport maintains (and requires its Affiliates and service providers to maintain) appropriate physical, technical and administrative safeguards to protect the security and confidentiality of the personal information that you share with Brandreport. Brandreport employs efforts to protect your personal information by maintaining physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Brandreport uses computer safeguards such as firewalls and data encryption, physical access controls to Brandreport buildings and files, and restricts personal information access to authorized personnel only. Credit card data is securely transferred and hosted off-site by a payment vendor. This information is not accessible to Brandreport staff.

Despite these procedures, Brandreport cannot guarantee that loss, misuse, unauthorized acquisition, or alteration of your data will not occur. In addition, Brandreport notes that you also play a vital role in protecting your own personal information. When opening a Brandreport Account and using the Brandreport Services, it is important to choose a password of sufficient length and complexity, to not reveal this password to any third parties and to immediately notify Brandreport if you become aware of any unauthorized access of or use of your Brandreport Account.

Brandreport cannot ensure or warrant the security or confidentiality of information that you transmit to Brandreport or receive from Brandreport by internet or wireless connection, including email, phone, or SMS, since Brandreport does not have any way of protecting information once it leaves and until it reaches Brandreport. If you have a reason to believe that your data is no longer secure, please contact Brandreport at the email address listed at the end of this Privacy Policy.

Automatic Collection of Information

Brandreport stores certain types of information automatically. This includes whenever you interact with your Brandreport Account or the Brandreport Platform and Website generally. The information that is generated through these interactions does not necessarily reveal your identity directly but may include information about the specific device you are using to access the Brandreport Services, such as the hardware model, operating system version, web browser software and your Internet Protocol address.

Brandreport automatically receives and records information on its server logs from your browser, including how you came to and used the Brandreport Services, your IP address, device type and unique device identification number, device event information (such as crashes, system activity and hardware settings, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request and referral URL), broad geographic location and other technical data collected through cookies, pixel tags and other similar technologies that uniquely identify your browser. Brandreport may also collect information about how your device has interacted with our website, including pages accessed and links clicked. Brandreport may use identifiers to recognize you when you enter the Brandreport Platform or Website via an external link, such as a link appearing on a third-party site.

Children’s personal information

Brandreport does not knowingly request or collect personal information from any person under the age of 18. If a user submitting personal information is suspected of being younger than 18 years of age, Brandreport will require the user to close his or her Brandreport Account and will not allow operating with digital assets. Brandreport will also take steps to delete the information as soon as possible. Please notify us if you know of any individuals under the age of 18 using the Brandreport Services so that Brandreport may take action to prevent access to the Brandreport Services by such individuals.
