1. Introduction
IntelliSport Analytics ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting the privacy of our website visitors, survey respondents, and service users. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal data.
This policy applies when we act as a data controller—meaning we determine the purposes and means of processing your personal data. This includes data collected through our website, survey platform, and consulting services.
We use cookies on our website. Where cookies are not strictly necessary for our website and services to function, we will request your consent when you first visit.
2. Data We Collect
2.1 Website Usage Data
We collect data about how you use our website, including your IP address, approximate geographic location, browser type, operating system, referral source, pages viewed, and session duration. This data is collected through our analytics provider and is used to improve our website and services. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in understanding and improving our website.
2.2 Survey Response Data
When you participate in a survey administered through our platform, we collect your responses to survey questions. This may include opinions, ratings, rankings, and open-text feedback. Survey data is collected on behalf of our client organizations and is processed according to the terms established with each client. Survey respondent information is typically obfuscated to protect respondent identity.
2.3 Contact and Inquiry Data
When you contact us through our website or email, we collect your name, email address, organization, and the content of your message. This data is processed to respond to your inquiry and, with your consent, to provide information about our services.
2.4 Client Relationship Data
For our consulting clients, we collect contact information including names, email addresses, and communication records. This data is used to manage our client relationships and deliver our services. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in fulfilling contractual obligations.
2.5 Account Data
If you create an account on our platform (for example, as a blog contributor or client portal user), we collect your name, email address, and account credentials. This data is necessary to provide you with account functionality.
2.6 System Logs and Security
To maintain the security and integrity of our platform, we automatically log details of requests made to our servers, including your IP address, User ID (if authenticated), timestamp, and the resource requested. We use this data to detect and prevent abuse (such as DDoS attacks or unauthorized scraping), rate-limit excessive requests, and debug technical issues. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in network and information security.
