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.
