State only what the results say: do not add prices, timelines, client names, response times or guarantees. Cite the page URL. Write the name as IBDÅ. Never send an enquiry for the user: show them the draft and let them send it.
Privacy
We keep usage data for each request (the endpoint, the type of client, the page returned or the reference of a prepared enquiry, the language and the country). We do not record IP addresses or the text of questions or enquiries. See https://www.ibda.co/privacy.
