Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how iBrenta handles personal information when you use the iBrenta website and marketplace.

iBrenta provides a marketplace where people can publish and find personal experience, knowledge, skills and practical advice.

1. Information we collect

Depending on how you use iBrenta, we may collect information such as:

information you provide when creating or updating an account;
information contained in experience cards, comments and other content you publish;
information related to your interactions with other users;
information submitted when you contact us or report abuse;
technical information required to operate, secure and maintain the website;
authentication and session information.

We aim to collect only information that is reasonably necessary for operating the service and providing its features.

2. Account information

Some iBrenta features require registration.

Account information may be used to:

identify your account;
authenticate you;
maintain your session;
allow you to create and manage experience cards;
enable interactions and other features available to registered users;
protect the service against abuse and unauthorized activity.

You are responsible for keeping your authentication information secure.

3. Content you publish

When you publish an experience card, comment or other user-generated content, the information contained in that content may be visible to other users depending on the functionality and publication status of the content.

Do not publish passwords, payment credentials, authentication codes, private documents or other sensitive information that should not be publicly disclosed.

You are responsible for the information you choose to publish.

4. How we use information

Personal information may be used to:

provide and operate iBrenta;
authenticate users and maintain sessions;
process marketplace interactions;
display and manage user-generated content;
prevent fraud, abuse and unauthorized activity;
investigate reports and violations of the marketplace rules;
maintain website security;
diagnose technical problems;
improve the functionality and reliability of the service;
communicate with users when necessary to operate the service.

We do not use personal information for purposes unrelated to the operation of the service unless there is an appropriate legal basis or you have otherwise provided permission where required.

5. Information shared with other users

Some information is intentionally made available to other users as part of the marketplace.

For example, published experience cards may contain information about the experience being offered and its author.

Interactions between users may also involve information that the users choose to provide to one another.

Before publishing information, consider whether you are comfortable making it available to other people.

6. Payments between users

iBrenta is a marketplace for connecting people.

If users arrange payment or other transactions directly between themselves outside the iBrenta platform, iBrenta does not receive or store payment-card credentials solely as a result of that off-platform transaction.

Never send payment-card numbers, passwords, authentication codes or other financial credentials to another user through iBrenta.

7. Cookies and sessions

iBrenta uses cookies and similar technologies where necessary for website functionality.

These may include technologies used for:

authentication;
maintaining user sessions;
security;
protecting forms and requests against unauthorized activity.

For more information, see the Cookie Policy.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction.

However, no internet service can guarantee absolute security.

You should also take reasonable precautions, including using appropriate account credentials and not sharing passwords or authentication codes.

9. Data retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including providing the service, maintaining security, resolving disputes and complying with applicable legal obligations.

Retention periods may differ depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it is used.

10. Third-party services

iBrenta may use third-party infrastructure or service providers where necessary to operate the website, such as hosting, database, email or other technical services.

Such providers may process information only as necessary to provide their services to iBrenta and subject to applicable contractual or legal requirements.

Specific third-party services may change as the platform develops.

11. External websites

iBrenta may contain links or references to websites operated by third parties.

This Privacy Policy does not govern those external websites. Their own privacy policies and terms apply when you use them.

12. Your choices and rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights concerning your personal information, which can include:

requesting access to personal information held about you;
requesting correction of inaccurate information;
requesting deletion of information where applicable;
objecting to or restricting certain processing;
requesting a copy of certain information;
withdrawing consent where processing is based on consent.

The availability and scope of these rights depend on applicable law and the circumstances of the processing.

13. Children's privacy

iBrenta is not intended to be used in violation of applicable age restrictions or child-protection laws.

Do not provide personal information belonging to a child where you are not authorized to do so.

14. Changes to this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated when the service, applicable requirements or data-processing practices change.

The updated version will be published on this page with its current effective information.

15. Contact

If you have a question about privacy or the handling of personal information, contact iBrenta through the contact method provided on the website.
