Last Updated: January 1, 2024
Irongate (“IG,” “we” or “us”) has implemented this Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) for its www.irongp.com website (including all areas of the site) (the “Website”), applications and software provided online and made available offline through or in connection with the service, including through a mobile device (collectively, the “Service”) to provide our users and visitors (collectively “Users” or “you”) information regarding the collection and use of your information on the Service, so that you can make an informed decision about your use of the Service. Capitalized terms that are not defined in this Privacy Policy have the meaning ascribed to them in our Terms of Use.
When using the Service, there are general elements of our Service that you should know. We will not use or share your Personal Information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy. IG does not own your user generated content. For further details on using the Service please refer to our Terms of Use Agreement available here.
If you have questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy, you should contact us via email to help@irongp.com, or send mail to Privacy, Irongate, 10880 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 2222, Los Angeles, CA 90024.
As we update and expand our Service, this Privacy Policy may change, so please check this web page for updates to our Privacy Policy.
When you visit our Service we may collect information regarding your visit from your computer. Such information helps us to determine information about how you found our Service, the date that you visited our Service and search engines that may have led you to our Service. We collect this information in order to continually improve and enhance the functionality of the Service.
Generally, you may provide us with two types of information, User Content, which may include Personally Identifiable Information, and Website Usage Information, both of which are discussed in greater detail below.
1. Personal Information You Choose to Provide. If you email us through the email address listed on our Service, info@irongp.com, we may ask you for information such as your name, email address, phone number, and other information (collectively, “Personally Identifiable Information”) so we can respond to your questions and comments. If you choose to correspond with us via email, we may retain the content of your email messages, your email address and our response to you.
2. Website Usage Information
a. Cookies. IG may use cookies to collect information for record keeping purposes and make it easier to navigate the Service. Cookies are small text files that are stored on users’ hard drives, which often include an anonymous unique identifier. IG uses both “session ID cookies” and “persistent cookies.” Session ID cookies are used to store information while a user is logged into the site and expire when the user closes their browser. Persistent cookies are used to make tasks like logging into the site easier for returning users by remembering a user’s login information, and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the Website. Persistent cookies stay on a user’s hard drive from one session to the next. Persistent cookies can be removed by following your web browser’s directions. A session cookie is temporary and disappears after you close your browser.
When you visit our Website, our computer may ask your computer for permission to employ the use of a session or persistent cookie. Our Website will then send a cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it.
Most web browsers can be adjusted to inform you when a cookie has been sent to you and provide you with the opportunity to refuse that cookie. However, refusing a cookie may, in some cases, preclude you from using, or negatively impact the display or function of, our Website or certain areas or features of our Website. You may choose not to receive cookies from the Service by following instructions in your web browser’s “help” file, but this may make certain features of the Service inaccessible to you.
How the Website responds to “Do Not Track Mechanisms” can be found here.
b. Clear GIFs/Beacons. When visiting our Website, we may also use “Clear GIFs” (aka “web beacons” or “pixel tags”) or similar technologies in our Website and/or in our communications with you. A Clear GIF is typically a one-pixel, transparent image located on a web page or in an e-mail or other type of message, which helps us to verify an individual’s viewing or receipt of a web page or message. Clear GIFs allow us to know whether you have viewed a web page prior to visiting our Website and may enable us to relate such information to other information, including your Personally Identifiable Information. We use information provided from Clear GIFs to enable more accurate reporting, improve the effectiveness of our marketing, and make our Service better for our users.
c. IP Address and Clickstream Data. Our servers automatically collect data about your Internet Protocol address when you visit us. When you request pages from our Website, our servers may log your IP Address and sometimes your domain name. Our server may also record the referring page that linked you to us (e.g., another website or a search engine); the pages you visit on this Website; the website you visit after this Website; other information about the type of web browser, computer, platform, related software and settings you are using; any search terms you have entered on this Website or a referral website; and other web usage activity and data logged by our web servers. We use this information for internal system administration, to help diagnose problems with our servers, to analyze general usage patterns, and to administer our Website. Such information may also be used to gather broad demographic information, such as country of origin and Internet Service Provider. IG may aggregate user information in a non- personally identifiable manner to share with advertisers and to enhance the Website with new features.
Any or all of these activities with regard to the above-described Website Usage Information may be performed on our behalf by our third-party service providers.
1. Personal Information. If you submit information to us by providing your email address, you consent to our using the email address to send you Service-related notices, including among other things notices required by law, in lieu of postal mail. You may not opt out of Service- related e-mails. We may also use your email address to send you other messages, including changes to Service features and special offers.
Rights to Opt-in / Opt-out. You have the right to “opt in” and/or “opt out” of certain of our uses of your Personal Information. For example, you may have the opportunity to elect whether you would like to receive correspondence from us and/or third party service providers. Your personal information will not be shared with third party service providers unless consent is given by you. You will have the opportunity to opt out of IG’s promotional e-mails by clicking the “opt out” or “unsubscribe” link in the e-mail you receive. You can also request this by sending an e-mail to info@irongp.com, specifying whether: (i) you would like to opt out of receiving promotional correspondence from IG in general, or just via e-mail, postal mail and/or by phone, and/or whether (ii) you would only like to opt out of certain of IG’s e-newsletters or correspondence. Please understand that if you opt out of receiving promotional correspondence from us, we may still contact you in connection with your relationship, activities, transactions and communications with us.
2. Website Usage Information. We use non-Personally Identifiable Information, such as anonymous Website use data and IP addresses, to improve the quality and design of the Website and to create new features and services by storing, tracking, and analyzing your preferences and trends.

We reserve the right to transfer any information we have about you in the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets. Should such a sale or transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to direct the transferee to use personal information you have provided through this Website in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy.
