AIQ is a data intelligence company specializing in data intelligence, founded in 2013 and headquartered in Canada, as well as having offices on the west coast of Canada.

As a data intelligence company, AIQ focuses on helping clients develop better marketing and political strategies, as well as providing them with better data analysis and applications. AIQ had been a low-profile company until the UK's 2016 Brexit referendum thrust it into the spotlight.

AIQ was accused of failing to keep personal data secure and not being transparent about its actions. Facebook was also implicated in the incident because AIQ was using Facebook to deliver information to voters.

During the UK Select Committee hearing, a Facebook executive said that Vote Leave and BeLeave were targeting the exact same audience on Facebook through AIQ. This has caused widespread concern and has put AIQ's reputation in great jeopardy.
