Privacy Policy

1.Who we are and what this policy covers

iDeal Business Development, LLC is the parent company of five brands operating within the iDeal Business Growth Ecosystem: iDeal Buyer Signal, Answer Genie AI, MyTalkingSite, iDeal Auto Rewards, and iDeal Business Funding.

This policy applies to this corporate website, including the pages that introduce our company, explain our ecosystem, present our brands, and invite business inquiries, consultations, and partnership discussions.

It does not apply to:

• Brand websites and brand services. Each brand may publish its own privacy notice, and that notice governs the information collected through that brand.
• Information handled under a signed service agreement between iDeal and a client. That agreement and any client privacy terms govern that information.

2.What this website does, and does not do

This website is informational. It introduces the company, describes the ecosystem and our brands, and provides contact details for business inquiries, consultations, and partnerships. It does not include user accounts, logins, or checkout. It does include a contact form for business inquiries, described in this policy. You can also reach us directly by email or phone using the details in the Contact section below.

This website does not deploy advertising pixels, cross-context behavioral advertising, or the buyer intelligence features associated with our Buyer Signal service. Where those services are deployed, they operate on specific brand websites under that brand's own notice, not here. The website platform itself provides visitor identification and consent-management technology for this website, described in the technical-information section below.

3.Information we collect

Information you give us

We collect information you choose to share when you contact us by email, phone, or our website contact form about an inquiry, a consultation request, or a partnership. Through the contact form, we collect your name, business email address, and your message. Providing a mobile phone number and your company name is optional. If you choose, you can also tell us whether you agree to receive text messages from us about your inquiry. That choice is optional, the box starts unchecked, and consent is never required to submit the form. We record your choice, the text of the disclosure you saw, and the mobile number you provided, together with your inquiry. We do not enroll form submissions in promotional messaging.

Please do not send sensitive personal information, such as government identification numbers, financial account details, or health information, through general contact channels. If an engagement requires that kind of information, we will explain the secure process for handling it.

Technical information collected automatically

When you visit, our website platform and its authorized technology providers process technical information on our behalf, including IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, timestamps, and website activity such as the pages you visit and how you arrived here (for example referral and campaign parameters). This information supports delivering the website, keeping it secure, understanding overall usage, and attributing visits to their source.

To do this, the platform uses visitor and session identifiers, cookies, and browser storage. This includes a random visitor key stored in your browser, and visitor and session cookies that may be set when these features operate.

The platform also provides visitor identification and consent-management technology on this website. Depending on the platform's configuration for this website, your region, and your consent choices, this technology may attempt to identify individual visitors and share the resulting identifiers and related technical information with the platform and its authorized technology providers. Where a consent banner or notice applies, it is presented before these features operate. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, the platform treats it as an opt-out before these features load. We do not guarantee how these controls behave in every browser or situation.

This website does not use advertising pixels or cross-context behavioral advertising.

4.How we use information

We use the information described above to:

• Respond to your inquiries and provide information you request.
• Evaluate and follow up on consultation and partnership discussions.
• Operate, secure, and improve the website.
• Keep business records and comply with applicable law.
• Establish, assert, or defend legal claims when necessary.

We do not use information collected through this website to build advertising profiles, and we do not sell personal information collected through this website.

5.Legal bases for processing

Where laws such as the EU or UK General Data Protection Regulation apply, we process personal information on these bases: your consent, where we ask for it and you give it; our legitimate interests in responding to inquiries and operating and securing the website; performance of a contract, when you engage us; and compliance with legal obligations.

6.How we share information

• Service providers. Hosting, email, communications, IT, and professional-service providers that support our operations, under contracts that limit their use of the information to services they perform for us.
• Affiliated brands. If your inquiry concerns a specific brand, we may share the relevant details with that brand so it can respond. Once information moves to a brand's own systems, that brand's privacy notice governs it.
• Legal and safety. Authorities, courts, or other parties when required by law, or when reasonably necessary to protect rights, property, security, or safety.
• Business transfers. A successor or transaction participant in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets, subject to this policy and applicable law.

7.Email and text communications

Email

We use email to respond to your inquiries and, at your request, to send information you ask for. If we ever send you marketing email, the message will include a way to opt out, and you can also ask us to stop at any time by replying to the message or contacting us.

Text messages (SMS and MMS)

We do not send marketing text messages based on a visit to this website. A website visit is not consent to receive marketing texts.

Our contact form can collect your mobile number and your text-message consent if you choose to provide them. The consent checkbox is optional and starts unchecked, and consent is never required to submit the form. If you give that consent, the following applies:

• We will honor the consent you gave, for the messages you agreed to receive.
• Message and data rates may apply, depending on your carrier and plan.
• Every message will include opt-out instructions, such as replying STOP where supported. We will honor opt-out and unsubscribe requests promptly.
• We do not sell or share mobile opt-in information or phone numbers with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
• We treat consent records, opt-out records, and related delivery information as personal information under this policy.

If a brand operates its own messaging program, that program's consent records and disclosures govern it.

8.Data retention

We keep personal information only as long as we have a business or legal reason to keep it. How long that is depends on the nature of the information, the purpose we collected it for, and applicable legal requirements. When we no longer need information, we delete it or de-identify it.

9.Data security

This website is served over HTTPS. We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information we handle. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We make no security certification claims on this website.

10.Your privacy rights and how to submit a request

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under applicable law. These can include the right to know what personal information we hold about you, to request correction or deletion, to receive a portable copy, and, where applicable, to opt out of targeted advertising, sale, or sharing of your personal information.

To submit a request, email info@idealbusinessdevelopment.com with the subject line "Privacy Request", or call us at (480) 841-0202. Include enough detail for us to verify your identity and process the request. We may need to verify your identity before we act, and we will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

If we decline a request, our response will explain why and describe any appeal or complaint rights available to you under applicable law. You may use an authorized agent where permitted by law; we may ask the agent to verify their authority.

11.Third-party websites and brand links

This website links to our brand websites, for example iDeal Buyer Signal at idealbuyersignal.com, and may reference other third-party sites. Those sites operate under their own privacy practices and notices, which we do not control. We encourage you to review each site's notice before providing information to it.

12.Children's privacy

This is a business website and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through this website. If you believe a child provided information through this website, contact us and we will delete it.

13.International visitors

This website is operated from the United States. If you visit from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States, or by our service providers in other countries, where data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

14.Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. When we do, we will change the effective date above and, for material changes, highlight what changed. Your continued use of the website after an update takes effect means you accept the updated policy.
