Privacy Policy

This privacy statement explains how Brisqi.com collects and uses the data that is received through Brisqi.com services (brisqi.com website and Brisqi desktop/mobile app), the type of data that is collected and why it is collected. Your data is yours; we will never sell your data to any other organization. We consider privacy to be of utmost importance, it is one of the reasons Brisqi.com exists today. If you have any questions regarding our policy, please contact us at support@brisqi.com.

What we collect and why

Our guiding principle is to collect only what we need. Here’s what that means in practice:

Identity & access

When you sign up for a Brisqi.com product, we typically ask for identifying information such as your name and email address. That is just so you can personalize your new account, and we can send you invoices, updates, or other essential information. We will never sell your personal info to third parties, and we will not use your name in marketing statements without your permission either.

Billing information

When you pay for a Brisqi.com product, we ask for your credit card and billing address. That is so we can charge you for service, calculate taxes due, and send you invoices. Your credit card is passed directly to our payment processor and does not ever go through our servers. We use Stripe as our payment processor. To read more on privacy policies of Stripe, please visit Stripe's Privacy policy page.

Geolocation data

We log all access to all accounts by full IP address so that we can always verify no unauthorized access has happened. We keep this login data for as long as your product account is active.
We also log full IP addresses used to sign up a product account. We keep this record forever because they are used to mitigate spammy signups.

Website interactions

When you browse our marketing pages or applications, your browser automatically shares certain information such as which operating system and browser version you are using. We track that information, along with the pages you are visiting, page load timing, and which website referred you for statistical purposes like conversion rates and to test new designs. We sometimes track specific link clicks to help inform some design decisions. These web analytics data are tied to your IP address and user account if applicable and you are signed into our Services. Brisqi.com website uses Google Analytics to monitor and analyze the data about its visitors. To read more on privacy policies of Google, please visit Google Privacy and Terms page.

Anti-bot assessments

We use CAPTCHA services as a means of spam protection. We have a legitimate interest in protecting our app and the broader Internet community from spam. When you fill specific forms on Brisqi.com website, the CAPTCHA service evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, how long the visitor has been on the app, mouse movements) to check whether the data is possibly filled out by an automated program instead of a human. We retain these data via our subprocessor forever because they are used for anti-spam mitigation. We use Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect our forms from spam. To read more on privacy policies of Google, please visit Google Privacy and Terms page.

To investigate, prevent, or take action regarding restricted uses. Accessing a customer’s account when investigating potential abuse is a measure of last resort. We have an obligation to protect the privacy and safety of both our customers and the people reporting issues to us. We do our best to balance those responsibilities throughout the process. If we do discover you are using our products for a restricted purpose, we will report the incident to the appropriate authorities.

Your rights with respect to your information

At Brisqi.com, we apply the same data rights to all customers, regardless of their location.

Right to Know. You have the right to know what personal information is collected, used, shared or sold. We outline both the categories and specific bits of data we collect, as well as how they are used, in this privacy policy.
Right of Access. This includes your right to access the personal information we gather about you, and your right to obtain information about the sharing, storage, security and processing of that information.
Right to Correction. You have the right to request correction of your personal information.
Right to Erasure / “To be Forgotten”. This is your right to request, subject to certain limitations under applicable law, that your personal information be erased from our possession and, by extension, all of our service providers. Fulfillment of some data deletion requests may prevent you from using Brisqi.com services because our applications may then no longer work. In such cases, a data deletion request may result in closing your account.
Right to Complain. You have the right to make a complaint regarding our handling of your personal information with the appropriate supervisory authority. To identify your specific authority or find out more about this right, EU individuals should go to https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/board/members_en.
Right to Restrict Processing. This is your right to request restriction of how and why your personal information is used or processed, including opting out of sale of personal information. (Again: we never have and never will sell your personal data.)
Right to Object. You have the right, in certain situations, to object to how or why your personal information is processed.
Right to Portability. You have the right to receive the personal information we have about you and the right to transmit it to another party.
Right to not be subject to Automated Decision-Making. You have the right to object and prevent any decision that could have a legal, or similarly significant, effect on you from being made solely based on automated processes. This right is limited, however, if the decision is necessary for performance of any contract between you and us, is allowed by applicable law, or is based on your explicit consent.
Right to Non-Discrimination. This right stems from the CCPA. We do not and will not charge you a different amount to use our products, offer you different discounts, or give you a lower level of customer service because you have exercised your data privacy rights. However, the exercise of certain rights (such as the right “to be forgotten”) may, by virtue of your exercising those rights, prevent you from using our Services.

Many of these rights can be exercised by signing in and directly updating your account information.

If you have questions about exercising these rights or need assistance, please contact us at support@brisqi.com. For requests to delete personal information or know what personal information has been collected, we will first verify your identity using a combination of at least two pieces of information already collected including your user email address.

How we secure your data

All data is encrypted via SSL/TLS when transmitted from our servers to your browser/apps. The database backups are also encrypted. All the data you provide through the desktop/mobile app is encrypted using AES-256 encryption on your device before it is transferred to Brisqi.com’s server.

What happens when you delete data in your product accounts

We delete your data after an account is closed. You can close your account anytime from your account settings when you sign in via the Brisqi.com website. Once you close your account, your data cannot be recovered as we delete all your data as soon as the account is closed.

Our products and other web properties are operated in the United States. If you are located in the European Union or elsewhere outside of the United States, please be aware that any information you provide to us will be transferred to and stored in the United States.
