Use of the Subscription Service by Squiz IT Labs and our Customers

Our online Subscription Service allows any company that uses it (our customers and Squiz IT Labs itself) to create, manage and track their strategic plan. The Subscription Service can also be used to integrate data from other business applications into Squiz IT Labs. The information added to the Subscription Service, either by site visitors providing their contact information or when a Subscription Service user adds information, is stored and managed by our hosting service provider’s servers. This information is then used to contact visitors about their interest in the company’s goods or services and interact with the company. Squiz IT Labs provides the Subscription Service to our customers for their strategy creation, management, and reporting needs, and we use it to meet Squiz IT Labs (Squiz IT Labs Strategy)’s related needs.
