Encirq is an online marketing services company that has developed a unique data engine to deliver individualized, consumer-centered marketing over the Internet. We use online and offline, real-time individual transactional data in a private and secure environment. Marketers and Encirq cannot see the data. Rather, the data reside on each consumer's personal computer, and filter out marketing messages that are not relevant. The service and technology are extendible to broadband, to other network devices, and eventually can be used to deliver personalized television commercials to individual households. Encirq's data engine does two things: It provides cost-effective access to consumer information not previously available; and it enables personalized real-time marketing programs. We have filed multiple patent applications on Encirq's illumination processes and technology.
