# Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 30, 2026

## Introduction

IDSync (“IDSync,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates an independent research and directory site covering identity, access, authentication, and AI agent security tooling. This Privacy Policy describes the information we collect when you visit idsync.com  or interact with our forms, assessments, newsletter, and resources, and how we use and protect that information.

## Information we collect

We collect only the information you provide and a limited amount of analytics data:

-   **Contact form submissions.** Name, work email, company, inquiry type, and message.
-   **Stack Finder assessment responses.** Answers to questions about your organization size, current tools, priorities, timeline, budget, and contact details when you request your full recommendation.
-   **Resource download information.** Name, email, company, and opt-in preferences when you request a gated checklist, template, or guide.
-   **Newsletter signups.** Email address and optional name, company, role, and interest categories.
-   **Sponsor, vendor, partner, and acquisition inquiries.** Contact details, company information, and any notes you include with your inquiry.
-   **Analytics data.** Standard web analytics such as pages visited, referrer, approximate location, device, and browser, collected via third-party analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics 4).

## How we use information

-   Responding to inquiries you send through our forms or by email.
-   Providing recommendations through the IAM Stack Finder.
-   Sending requested resources, checklists, and templates.
-   Operating, maintaining, and improving the site and its content.
-   Communicating with sponsors, vendors, partners, and prospective buyers.
-   Detecting, preventing, and addressing fraud, abuse, and security issues.

## Sharing information

-   **Service providers.** We use third parties to host our site, store form submissions, send email, and run analytics. They process information on our behalf under appropriate confidentiality terms.
-   **Business partners.** We may share inquiry details with a vendor or partner only when you ask to be connected, or when it is clearly relevant to the request you submitted (for example, a sponsorship or partnership inquiry).
-   **Legal requirements.** We may disclose information when required by law, subpoena, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of IDSync, our users, or others.
-   **No selling of personal information.** We do not sell your personal information.

## Cookies and analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site and to understand how visitors use it. This includes analytics tools such as Google Analytics 4, which may set cookies and collect usage data. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

## Email communications

If you subscribe to the IDSync newsletter or request a resource, we may send you the newsletter and occasional follow-up emails related to your request. Every newsletter email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time by emailing [contact@idsync.com](mailto:contact@idsync.com).

## Data retention

We retain form submissions, assessment responses, and subscriber data for as long as needed to operate the site, respond to your requests, comply with legal obligations, and maintain accurate records. You can request deletion of your data at any time using the contact details below.

## Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we collect, including encrypted transport (HTTPS), access controls, and a vetted backend provider. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

## Your choices

-   Unsubscribe from emails at any time using the link in each message.
-   Request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information you have submitted.
-   Disable cookies through your browser, though some site features may not work as intended.
