Privacy Policy

    Last updated: June 23, 2026

    Your trust matters to us. This policy describes how Innovative EcoSystems handles the information you share when you use our platform.

    1. Who We Are

    Innovative EcoSystems (“IE”, “we”, “us”) operates the IE platform and the Innovation Ecosystem Prosperity Assessment (IEPA) index at innovativeecosystems.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

    2. Information We Collect

    Account information. When you create an account we collect your name, email address, and password. If you sign in with Google or LinkedIn, we receive the basic profile information and email address those providers share with us.

    Profile and onboarding information. We collect the details you provide during onboarding and in your profile, such as your role, organization, title, markets of interest, focus areas, and similar information you choose to share.

    Usage information. We collect information about how you interact with the platform, along with device and log data such as browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps.

    3. How We Use Your Information

    We use your information to create and operate your account, personalize your dashboard, surface relevant intelligence and connections, communicate with you about the service, improve and develop the platform, and keep it secure.

    4. Sign In with Google and LinkedIn

    If you choose to sign in with Google or LinkedIn, we receive your name, email address, and profile photo from that provider in order to create and personalize your account. We request only basic profile and email access, and we never post on your behalf.

    Our use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements. We use Google user data only to provide and improve the sign-in and account features described in this policy, and we do not sell it or use it for advertising.

    5. How We Share Information

    We share information with service providers who help us operate the platform, such as our hosting and database provider, under agreements that require them to protect it. We may disclose information when required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and security of IE, our users, and the public.

    We do not sell your personal information.

    6. Data Retention

    We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time.

    7. Your Rights and Choices

    Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below. You can also update much of your profile information directly from your dashboard settings.

    8. Cookies

    We use essential cookies and similar technologies to authenticate you, keep you signed in, and maintain your session. These are necessary for the platform to function.

    9. Security

    We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

    10. Children

    The platform is intended for professional and organizational use and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

    11. Changes to This Policy

    We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the date at the top of this page. Material changes will be communicated through the platform or by email.
