This notice is intended for business contacts, enterprise prospects, partners, vendors, and other individuals who interact with iQs Group through our website or request information about the AEGIS Nexus Platform.
We do not sell personal information. We do not use advertising trackers on the pages covered by this notice. We do not use submitted form information for consumer profiling, behavioral advertising, or unrelated third-party marketing.

2. Scope of This Privacy Notice
This Privacy Notice applies to information collected through iQs Group website forms and related business-request workflows, including:
- Platform walkthrough requests;
- Brief-request forms;
- Contact forms;
- Business inquiry forms;
- Requests for AEGIS Nexus materials, demonstrations, briefings, or follow-up.
This notice covers information you submit directly to iQs Group and information processed as part of our response to your request.
This notice does not apply to third-party websites, third-party platforms, or external services that are not operated by iQs Group, even if they are linked from our website.
3. Information We Collect
We collect limited business contact information that you provide directly through our forms. Depending on the form, this may include:
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Identity Information | First name, last name, full name |
| Business Contact Information | Business email address, phone number |
| Company Information | Company name, company website |
| Professional Information | LinkedIn profile or LinkedIn company page |
| Request Information | The brief, walkthrough, document, or business discussion you requested |
| Submission Metadata | Date and time of form submission, form type, delivery status, and related operational records |
We design our forms to collect only information that is reasonably necessary for the stated business purpose.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, our hosting, infrastructure, and email delivery providers automatically log certain technical information when you visit our pages or interact with our messages. Depending on the provider and configuration, this may include IP address, browser type, device information, access timestamps, referring pages, and email delivery or link-access records (for example, confirming that a controlled-access link was delivered or used).
Our website may also use strictly necessary cookies or similar technologies required for basic site operation and security. We use automatically collected information for security, fraud and abuse prevention, reliability, and operational purposes — not for advertising or cross-site tracking.
4. Information We Do Not Intentionally Collect Through These Forms
The forms covered by this notice are intended for business inquiries only. You should not submit:
- Social Security numbers or national identification numbers;
- Financial account numbers;
- Payment card information;
- Medical or health information;
- Passwords or credentials;
- Sensitive personal information;
- Confidential customer data;
- Classified, regulated, or export-controlled information;
- Proprietary information belonging to a third party unless you are authorized to provide it.
If we receive information that appears unnecessary, excessive, sensitive, or inappropriate for the request, we may delete, restrict, or disregard it.
5. Website Tracking and Advertising
For the pages covered by this Privacy Notice:
- We do not use advertising trackers;
- We do not use behavioral advertising pixels;
- We do not use third-party retargeting pixels;
- We do not sell information to advertisers;
- We do not share form-submitted information with data brokers;
- We do not use form-submitted information for unrelated consumer advertising.
Do Not Track and Opt-Out Preference Signals
Because we do not track visitors across third-party websites or over time for advertising purposes, we do not respond to browser “Do Not Track” signals. We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, so opt-out preference signals such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC) do not apply to our current practices.
If our practices change, we will update this Privacy Notice before relying on materially different tracking or advertising practices.
6. Why We Collect Information
We collect business contact information for legitimate and limited business purposes, including to:
- Respond to your inquiry;

We do not collect this information for unrelated consumer profiling.
7. How We Use Information
We may use information submitted through our forms to:
- Contact you regarding your request;
- Deliver requested materials;
- Create a single-recipient or controlled-access document link;
- Confirm that the recipient is associated with the business email address submitted;

8. Brief Requests and Controlled Access Links
When you request access to an AEGIS Nexus brief, document, or other restricted material, iQs Group may use the information you provide to generate or deliver a controlled-access link. This process may include:
- Associating the requested material with the business email address submitted;
- Sending a one-time or restricted-access link to that email address;
- Limiting access to the intended recipient;
- Reviewing company, website, LinkedIn, phone, or email-domain information for basic validation;
- Maintaining records of the request for security, follow-up, and auditability.
iQs Group may restrict, revoke, disable, or decline access to materials where we believe it is necessary to protect our business, platform, intellectual property, security posture, customers, partners, or enterprise prospects.
9. Legal Bases for Processing
Where applicable privacy laws require a legal basis for processing, we process information under one or more of the following bases:

13. Security
iQs Group takes the protection of business contact information seriously. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These safeguards may include, as appropriate:
- Access controls;
- Internal need-to-know restrictions;
- Secure hosting and transmission practices;
- Email and form-delivery controls;
- Operational monitoring;
- Vendor-management practices;
- Logging and auditability;
- Security review of request workflows;
- Procedures for handling suspected misuse or unauthorized activity.
No method of transmission, website operation, email delivery, or electronic storage is completely secure. However, we design our practices to reduce risk and protect information in a manner appropriate to the nature of the data and the business context in which it is collected.
14. Confidentiality and Enterprise Requests
Some AEGIS Nexus materials may include business-sensitive information, product strategy, security architecture, platform positioning, technical summaries, or proprietary materials.
Submitting a form does not guarantee access to restricted materials. iQs Group may review requests before providing materials and may decline access where appropriate.
If you represent an enterprise, government entity, regulated organization, MSSP, partner, vendor, or procurement team, you may contact us directly at info@iqs.ai for privacy, security, procurement, or due-diligence questions.

Those jurisdictions may have privacy and data-protection laws that differ from the laws in your location. Where required, we will use appropriate safeguards for international processing and transfer of information.
