Personal Information is not accessible to anyone outside the specific function for which it is collected. IBN respects the privacy of employees and job applicants, customers, and other visitors to our websites who may choose to provide personal information. We recognize the need for appropriate protection and management of personal information that you provide to us. This Privacy Policy will assist you to understand what types of information we may collect, how that information may be used, and with whom the information may be shared.

In an effort to comply with the law, and our commitment to protect your personal information, we provide the following, which discloses our policies.

What type of information do we collect?

Personal Information is any information concerning the personal or material circumstances of an identified or identifiable individual. An identifiable person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, by reference to an identification number or to one or more factors specific to his physical, physiological, mental, economic, cultural or social identity.

We will not collect sensitive Personal Information, except to comply with Affirmative Action data requirements. Sensitive Personal Information can include but is not limited to: information pertaining to gender, disabilities and veteran status.

Children and Data Collection

We care about the safety of children. We won't knowingly allow anyone under 13 to provide us any personally identifying information. Children under 13 years of age are required to obtain the express permission of a parent or guardian before submitting any Personal Information about themselves (such as their names, e-mail addresses, and phone numbers) over the Internet.

Our Use of Your Information

We use your Personal Information to facilitate the services you request. We have tailored our Privacy Policy to adequately inform you of the use of your Personal Information.

Collection and Use of Employee Personal Information

IBN also collects Personal Information from its employees and applicants (human resource data) in connection with administration of its Human Resources programs and functions. These programs and functions include, but are not limited to: job applications and hiring programs, compensation and benefit programs, performance appraisals, training, access to IBN facilities and computer networks, employee profiles, internal intranet employee directories, Human Resource recordkeeping, Affirmative Action data, and other employment related purposes. It is the policy of IBN to keep all past and present employee information private from disclosure to third parties. There are certain business related exceptions and they are:

  1. To comply with county, state or federal agency requests;
  2. Inquiries from third parties with a signed authorization from the employee to release the information, except in situations where limited verbal verifications are acceptable (see below);
  3. Third parties with which IBN has contractual agreements to assist in administration of company sponsored benefits. Verifications of Employment Prospective employers, state agencies, financial institutions, and residential property managers routinely contact IBN requesting information on a former or current employee's work history and salary. All such requests of this type shall be referred to and completed on a confidential basis by the Human Resources Department or Payroll Department. For written verification of employment requests, information will be provided on the form only when it is accompanied by an employee's signed authorization to release information. The form will be returned directly to the requesting party and filed as part of the Human Resources or Payroll Department's confidential records.
Medical Information

IBN is compliant with federal HIPAA regulations and only utilizes information related to the company sponsored healthcare plan on a "need to know" basis for administration of the healthcare plan.

Collection and Use of Customer Information

IBN will not collect customer Personal Information, unless the customer contacts IBN directly. Failure to provide necessary information may prevent IBN from fully addressing any customer concerns. In the future, we may use this information to contact you regarding products or promotions, as well as other products and services, which may be of interest to you. At any time you may "opt out" of future contacts by unsubscribing from our database or contacting the Privacy Officer.

IBN may, from time to time, access aggregated customer data through third parties such as Nielsen Media Research or Arbitron. This information is expressly not Personal Information, as it is anonymized as to personal details. IBN uses this information to assess the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and promotions, but secures no access to customer Personal Information as a result.

IBN may collect Personal Information from third parties and contractors as necessary to pursue IBN's business. Such third parties may include equipment suppliers, software programmers, installation contractors, and maintenance contractors. To the extent possible, IBN will limit the collection of information from such third parties to company-level information, and thus avoid the collection of Personal Information.

Sharing of Personal Information

We may share Personal Information with our service providers, consultants and affiliates for our internal business purposes. Except as described in this Privacy Policy, IBN will not share Personal Information with a third party, unless a customer requests, consents to such disclosure, or disclosure is required or authorized by law. IBN reserves the right to disclose Personal Information to a third party if a law, regulation, search warrant, subpoena, or court order legally requires or authorizes us to do so. IBN also reserves the right to disclose and/or transfer Personal Information to a third party in the event of a proposed or actual purchase, sale, lease, merger, amalgamation or any other type of acquisition, disposal, or financing of all or any portion of IBN or of any of the business or assets or shares of IBN or a division thereof in order for a franchisee or Development Agent to continue to receive the same products and services from the third party.

As described above, IBN or its affiliates may share and exchange Personal Information in order to protect the integrity of IBN trademarks or to provide assistance to customers.

Disclosure, Storage, Retention and Accuracy of Personal Information

Except as described in this Privacy Policy, IBN will not disclose Personal Information to a third party, unless such disclosure is requested, there is consent to such disclosure, or disclosure is required by law. IBN insures that Personal Information is safeguarded against loss, access, use, modification, disclosure, or other misuse. All reasonable steps are taken to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Information. IBN will retain your Personal Information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose(s) for which it was collected and to comply with applicable laws, and your consent to such purpose(s) remains valid after termination of our relationship with you. We take all reasonable steps to insure that your Personal Information is accurate, up-to-date, complete, relevant and not misleading.
