User Best Practices
To ensure optimal use of Urban IQ while maintaining security and compliance, we encourage users to follow these best practices:

Avoid reusing passwords across multiple platforms and update passwords regularly.

Only access customer-sensitive data or systems when it is absolutely necessary for a task.
Log out of the platform when finished, especially if using a shared or public device.
3. Regular Monitoring and Reporting
Periodically review system activity logs to ensure no unauthorised access has occurred under your account.
Report any unusual login attempts or suspected breaches to our support team immediately.
4. Device and Connection Security
Access Urban IQ using secure, trusted devices with up-to-date software and security patches.
Avoid connecting to Urban IQ from unsecured networks (e.g., public Wi-Fi) unless using a Virtual Private Network (VPN).
5. Compliance with Privacy Standards
Handle any customer data accessed through Urban IQ responsibly and ensure compliance with privacy laws and company policies.
Do not export or share customer data without proper authorisation.
6. Staying Informed
Keep updated on the latest security protocols and updates from Urban IQ. We’ll notify users about changes that could impact use of the platform.
