Posted on: November 2nd, 2023

Effective Date: November 2nd, 2023

We at Iron Horse have created this Privacy Policy to explain how we collect, use, disclose and otherwise process personal information in connection with operating our business, including with respect to the ironhorse.io and enterprisegrowthalliance.com websites and any other websites or online services controlled by us and which display this Privacy Policy. 

Iron Horse provides growth and digital marketing services to businesses – our clients. We also operate the Enterprise Growth Alliance, a cohort of technology partners helping B2B marketers and salespeople be more successful. Our services are designed for businesses and are not intended individuals’ personal, family or household use. Accordingly, we treat all personal information covered by this Privacy Policy, including information about any visitors to our website, as pertaining to individuals acting as business representatives, rather than in their personal capacity. To take advantage of our services, our clients may share with us information about their customers and sales leads, including contact details. We process that information only at the direction of the client who provided the information, and only on that client’s behalf. 

This Policy does not apply to other companies’ or organizations’ web sites to which we link. You should carefully review the privacy policies of those web sites in order to determine how they treat your personal information.

INFORMATION WE MAY COLLECT

We may collect information about individuals who interact with us when using our websites and our services and attend our events and webinars (such as employees of our clients and partners), job applicants, and other individuals.

How we collect the information

We may collect information:

  • Directly from individuals
  • From third party vendors, publicly-available sources, data brokers, or business partners

Types of information we collect

The types of information we collect include personal and business contact information (such as contact name, business name, title, address, telephone number, and email address), payment information, and information individuals may provide in responses to survey questions and communications with us.

COOKIES AND OTHER INFORMATION COLLECTED BY AUTOMATED MEANS

We, our service providers, and our advertising partners, may collect certain information about the use of our websites by automated means, such as cookies, web beacons and other technologies. A “cookie” is a text file that websites send to a visitor‘s computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser. A “web beacon,” also known as an Internet tag, pixel tag or clear GIF, is used to transmit information back to a web server. We and our service providers and business partners may collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites when you use our websites.

Because there is not yet a consensus on how companies should respond to web browser-based do-not-track (“DNT”) mechanisms, we do not respond to web browser-based DNT signals at this time. Please see the “Privacy Preferences, Rights and Choices” section below for information about how you may opt-out of, or limit the use of, your browsing behavior for online behavioral advertising purposes.
