We may also disclose to our vendors and business partners (or permit their access to) Business Profiles retained in the IRCOIT Database for the purpose of ensuring that their current data is up to date, enriching it and allowing our partners to obtain relevant Business Profiles for employment, commercial and business opportunities.

The following information is not collected to the IRCOIT Database: any information which is shared with us by our Users when downloading or using our Plugin, Salesforce App, IRCOIT Forms, or accessing and registering on our Site, AND directly to our website (Saas). Specifically – If a User chooses to connect its Salesforce account to the IRCOIT Salesforce App, IRCOIT will not collect information associated with such use In order to provide our service and match the relevant information from our database with applicable profiles Users view on supported sites, we need to read certain words (such as full name and company name of the Contacts)
We store the data in our servers temporarily and delete it after providing the Users with the service. This data is not added to our database. IRCOIT does not store browsing history or data except cookies (kindly review our cookies policy).
As explained in detail below, we collect two main types of information. The first type (i.e. “Business Profiles”) is used to enrich the IRCOIT Database and allow us to share Business Profiles with our Users, vendors and business partners. The second type of information (i.e. “User’s Data”) is mainly collected to allow Users to use our Plugin and other related services and products. The information in the IRCOIT Database is collected and processed based on our legitimate interest in providing our Services.

We collect information from the following third-party sources: (i) third parties who license, sell or otherwise provide data they have collected; or (ii) information from publicly available sources, such as via the Internet and social networks, including through public or licensed APIs. For example, we use open web services and APIs to complete and update the information we have about Contacts and enrich it (e.g. by adding links to Contacts’ verified social network profiles), in order to allow our Users and vendors to find relevant Business Profiles.
