BrandBoost Digital is committed to the secure and ethical handling of business intelligence. This protocol outlines how we collect, process, and safeguard the data provided during the "Forensic Scan" and AEO audit process.

1. Data Collection

We collect minimal, high-intent business data required to perform our digital analysis: [cite_start]
• Business URL: Used as the primary target for AI search scans[cite: 11]. [cite_start]
• Contact Identity: Name and email address used for report delivery[cite: 12, 13]. [cite_start]
• Communication Data: Optional Phone/WhatsApp details for strategic de-briefs[cite: 15].

2. AI Processing Standards

[cite_start]

When you initialize a scan, your URL is analyzed across OpenAI (ChatGPT), Google (Gemini), and Perplexity AI[cite: 25, 27]. We do not submit your private personal information into these models; we only scan publicly available brand data to identify "Entity Gaps".

3. Data Sovereignty

Your business data is never sold to third-party brokers. We maintain a strict boundary between our forensic analysis and public AI training sets. Your competitive vulnerabilities identified in our "Intelligence Dossiers" remain confidential and proprietary to your engagement with BrandBoost Digital.

4. Security of Transmission

[cite_start]

All data submitted via our `/free-audit` portal is handled through secure transmission protocols to ensure integrity throughout the 24-hour turnaround period[cite: 15].

5. Contact & Data Access

Under the direction of our founder, Sam Choksi, we ensure full transparency in our data practices. [cite_start]For requests regarding data deletion or access to your forensic history, please contact schoksi@brandboost.ink[cite: 36].
