This notice outlines the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, in relation to your use of our IQ Test website, will be processed by us.

Who are we?

Cerebrum has a registered office located at 30 N Gould St Ste R, Sheridan, WY 82801, USA. In this privacy notice, references to "we", "our", or "us" refer to Cerebrum.

For personal data collected from individuals in the European Union, United Kingdom, and Switzerland, we act as the controller of your personal data. This means that we are responsible for how we collect, store, and use your personal data. For personal data collected from residents in California, we serve as the business regarding your personal data. Accordingly, we decide the purposes and means of processing your personal data. “Personal data,” as utilized in this notice, is defined according to data protection laws and may also be referred to as “personal information” or “personally identifiable information.”

Should you have any inquiries regarding this privacy notice, or if you are a resident of Nevada or California seeking additional disclosures, please contact us using the details provided below.

Who does this privacy notice apply to?

This privacy notice applies to all users of Cerebrum. It does not form part of any contract to provide services. By using Cerebrum, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our collection, use, and disclosure practices as described in this notice, please discontinue use of our services.

Given your specifications about the type of information collected from users, here's a refined section that more accurately describes data collection practices for Cerebrum:

Personal Data We Collect

Information you give us when registering with Cerebrum:

When you register on Cerebrum, we collect minimal essential information from you to create a personalized experience. This includes your first name and surname, which are used to generate your personalized certificate and report. Additionally, we require your email address to send you login credentials, ensuring you can access our services promptly. For your security and ease of access, your password is randomly generated and sent to you; we recommend changing it upon your first login for added security.

You will have the option to opt-in to receive communications from Cerebrum. Should you decide to opt-out of these communications at any time, you can easily do so by following the unsubscribe link provided in our emails or by contacting us directly to adjust your preferences.

Other information you provide to us:

If you reach out to our customer service with a query, we will collect your email address and any other information you provide during the interaction. Your proactive participation in communication channels like support or chat functions will involve the collection of the personal data you share.

Information we collect about you automatically as you use Cerebrum:

As you interact with Cerebrum, we automatically collect data concerning your access and usage. This includes technical information like your IP address, browser type, and version, which helps us improve your experience and ensure our service operates effectively on your device.

By engaging with Cerebrum, you entrust us with certain personal data to enhance your experience. It's our highest priority to protect and use this data responsibly, in line with this privacy policy.

Adapting the section about information collection by third parties for Cerebrum, while focusing on the website context rather than an app, would look like this:

Information Collected Automatically by Third Parties

On Cerebrum, third-party Software Development Kits (SDKs) and services from our website providers collect certain types of information instead of us directly. This includes:

Identifiers: Such as user IDs and device IDs to distinguish individual visitors and their devices.
Usage Data: Details about your interactions with Cerebrum, helping us understand user preferences and behavior.
Diagnostics: Information like crash logs, which helps with improving the stability and performance of our services.
Contact Information: Including your name and email, which is essential for personalized communication.

This data is shared with third-party services to enable the operation of Cerebrum, facilitate analytics, product personalization, and to conduct efficient marketing campaigns. For specifics on how these third parties utilize your information, we encourage you to review their privacy policies, to which we've provided links.

Analytics and Tracking Providers Include:

Google LLC (Analytics)
Amplitude (Analytics)
Adjust GmbH (Marketing Attribution)
Other third-party services like Braze (Notifications), mParticle (Customer Data Platform), Optimizely (Experimentation), and Firebase by Google LLC (Database and Analytics).

Payment Details

For any in-service purchases on Cerebrum, we rely on third-party payment platforms to ensure the secure and compliant processing and storage of your payment details. These platforms include Stripe, PayPal, and other Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) certified processors. We explicitly do not receive, process, or store any of your sensitive payment information directly. All transactions are securely completed through these third-party services, and while we are notified about the transaction's completion, the specifics of your payment information, such as credit card numbers, are securely managed by the payment providers.

Including Stripe and similar platforms emphasizes our commitment to security and the privacy of your financial details. For additional details on how these third-party services use and protect your data, we encourage reviewing their respective privacy policies.

Interactions with Other Services

Cerebrum includes links that hyperlinks to websites, platforms, and other services not operated or controlled by us. We may embed software development kits (SDKs) to enable functionalities such as “liking” or “sharing” content through social media. Additionally, we might offer our content on social media platforms. Any information you provide to us when you engage with our content through social media (such as our brand page or chat functions) will be treated in accordance with this Privacy Notice. Furthermore, if you publicly reference Cerebrum on social media (e.g., by using a hashtag associated with Cerebrum in a tweet or post), we may use your reference on or in connection with our services. It's important to note that when you interact with external services, including upon leaving Cerebrum, those entities may independently collect information about you and may ask for information from you. The collection and storage of your information by these parties are subject to their own policies and practices, including what information they share with us, your rights and choices on their platforms, and whether they store information in the U.S. or elsewhere. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with and consult their privacy policies and terms of use.
