Details
In general, you may visit our Site and access information while not revealing any individual user information other than Technology Related Information (as defined below). If you upload or post content to the Site, the content will be governed by the Terms of Use and any other terms or conditions on the upload pages. The types of individual user information collected in the registration process may include your name, contact information, other PII and other information volunteered by you.
We collect PII when you visit IB5K pages and when you deliver communications or content to the Site. We may combine information about you that we have with information we obtain from business associates or otherwise. Without limitation, information collected, including PII, may be used by us for internal research purposes, marketing, promotions and public relations, subject only to the terms of our privacy policy.
We will not disclose, transfer, sell or otherwise communicate your PII to any third party, other than IB5K’s parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of (i) their employees or (ii) vendors and contractors operating under confidentiality agreements and subject to our privacy policy, unless you give us permission to do so, except as set forth in this privacy policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary, we may disclose any information you provide if required to do so by law or pursuant to a request by law enforcement or if we have a good faith belief that disclosure is necessary to (1) comply with the law or with the legal process; (2) protect and defend the rights or property of IB5K third parties; or (3) act in an emergency to protect someone’s safety or legal rights (“Mandatory Disclosures”). As we develop our business, we may buy or sell assets or change our name or form of entity, and, depending upon the transaction, your personal information may be one of the transferred assets; provided, however, we will not sell or transfer PII except subject to the terms of our privacy policy. For instance, in the event that IB5K is acquired by another company, your PII may be part of the assets transferred to the acquiring party. We will notify you before PII about you becomes subject to a different privacy policy. The collected information may be provided in the aggregate to third parties, including potential business partners and advertisers, but this information is not linked to any PII before it is disclosed unless we have obtained your consent.
To help administer the Site and provide a positive experience while visiting the Site, we do collect technology-related information. “Technology-Related Information” may include, but is not limited to the following: source IP address, domain name, date and time visited and visited pages. A “cookie” is a small line of text that is stored with your Web browser for record-keeping purposes and to help us provide better service to you. Your browser has options to accept, reject or provide you with notice when a cookie is sent.

We allow third-party companies to serve ads and/or collect certain anonymous information when you visit our web site. These companies may use non-personally identifiable information (e.g., click stream information, browser type, time and date, subject of advertisements clicked or scrolled over) during your visits to this and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services likely to be of greater interest to you. These companies typically use a cookie or third party web beacon to collect this information.

Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected unless you agree otherwise.
