You agree that notice on the website of changes is adequate notice.
Collection and Use of Personally Identifiable Information
Personal Identifiable Information (“PII”) is information that identifies you or can be used to identify or contact you, e.g., your name, email address, address, or phone number. iBBT requests PII from you when you request information on the website. For example, we may ask your name, business email address, business address, business phone number, and company affiliation and that you agree to the Terms and Conditions presented at the time of the request. iBBT may also collect PII knowingly provided by you in emails to the website, online forms, order, and registration forms, surveys, and contest entries. We will collect PII only if you voluntarily submit such information to us in all of these cases. We will not knowingly disclose PII except as outlined in this Policy. We may disclose personal information to respond to legal requirements, enforce our policies, or protect anyone’s rights, property, or safety. We may also share your personal information with the following:
- members of our corporate family;
- we share information as part of normal business operations and as part of everyday custodial, legal, and regulatory purposes required by our service partners, the Internal Revenue Service, the U.S. Securities, and Exchange Commission, and other regulatory and government entities;
- other business entities, should we plan to merge with or be acquired by that business entity;
- With third parties, as may be necessary to perform services you request from us.
Collecting Anonymous Information
Each time a visitor comes to the website, we collect information to improve the overall quality of the online experience, including product monitoring, product improvement, and targeted advertising. For example, we collect the visitor’s domain name (e.g., domain.com), referral data (e.g., we record the address of the last URL a user visited before clicking through to the iBBT website), and browser and platform type (e.g., an Internet Explorer browser on a Windows platform). In addition to collecting these types of information, iBBT collects aggregate queries for internal reporting and targeted advertising. We also count, track and aggregate the visitor’s activity into our analysis of general traffic flows at our sites (e.g., tracking where traffic comes from, how traffic flows within the iBBT properties, etc.).
Node RPC Provision
Users who use iBBT as their default Remote Procedure Call (RPC) provider will have no Data Collected. In addition, the company notes that when iBBTs RPC links are used in Metamask, there in no personal data collected or gathered for any purpose.
Security
iBBT shall exercise commercially reasonable precautions to safeguard and secure all information provided by users in connection with accessing this website. The website has security measures in place that help to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. Technical standards may include using HTTPS-based encrypted communications between users and the website, firewall protection of servers supporting the website where appropriate, and monitoring all supporting infrastructure. Although we take reasonable measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures, absolute security cannot be guaranteed because such information is transmitted over the Internet. We urge you to take reasonable precautions to protect your data on the Internet. Change your passwords often, use a combination of letters and numbers, and make sure you use a secure browser.
Export of Personally Identifiable Information
By using the website, you acknowledge and consent to the fact that PII provided by you or collected by us through your use of the website is stored and processed by us in the United States, where data protection laws may not afford the same level of protection as those of the country in which you are located (this is the case for users located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”)). You also acknowledge and consent that we may, at our discretion, store, and process such data in other countries (including countries outside the EEA) where data protection laws may not afford the same level of protection as those of the country in which you are located.
Internet Protocol Addresses
An Internet Protocol address is a number that automatically identifies the computer/machine you have used to access the Internet. The address enables our server to send you the web pages you want to visit, and it may disclose the server owned by your Internet Service Provider. We utilize your Internet Protocol address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our Site. The website logs IP addresses and browser types for administration purposes. Such logs will be reviewed to improve the materials and content available on the website. In addition, IP addresses may be used to confirm your identity if we suspect any violation of our Terms and Conditions, this Privacy Policy, or any of the laws.
Cookies
Like most websites, we use cookies. A cookie is a piece of data stored on your computer. The usage of a cookie is not linked to any personal information on our website. Cookies are used for many reasons; we may use cookies as a part of our website’s functioning, and if you refuse to accept cookies, functioning may be impaired. We may also employ software to help us track a visitor’s progress to improve our website and your experience.
Children’s Privacy Protection
iBBT understands the importance of protecting children’s privacy in the interactive online world. The website is not designed for, or intentionally targeted at, children of any age, and iBBT’s Policy is not to collect or maintain information about any child.
Opt-Out/Changes
At specific locations on the website where we request information about the user, the website allows users to opt out of receiving communications from us. Users may also review and request changes to their personally identifiable information that iBBT has collected, including removing their information from our database to prevent receipt of future communications or to halt receipt of our website services, using any of the following options: You can send your request via email to support(at)ibbt.io. Please feel free to mail your request to the following postal address: iBlockchain Bank & Trust Technologies, Co. 101 W. Gunnison Street, Box #564454, Harwood Heights, IL 60706-9998. Please note that with disaster recovery and backup systems, it is only sometimes possible to ensure that all copies of PII are entirely deleted.
California Disclosure
CA Bus. & Prof. Code § 22575 requires us to disclose how the website responds to Web browser “do not track” signals and other mechanisms that seek to provide consumers with the ability to control the collection of their personal information through online tracking technologies for specific purposes, such as targeted or behavioral advertising. For example, suppose your browser or similar mechanism gives the Site a “do not track” signal. In that case, the Site will make commercially reasonable attempts to honor your settings (although iBBT still may deliver and use cookies and other tracking technologies for non-marketing purposes). However, iBBT does not make any promises or guarantees about the effects of any “Do Not Track” choice that you may make because (a) such nuanced treatment is not necessarily available or effective for any or all browsers, mechanisms, or tracking technologies, and iBBT’s commercially reasonable attempts to honor your settings might or might not be adequate to preclude tracking or behavioral advertising at all or over any particular period; (b) third parties may not honor your settings or iBBT’s policies and may use cookies or other tracking technologies for behavioral advertising despite iBBT’s commercially reasonable attempts to prevent them from doing so, and (c) tracking technologies, browsers, and access devices may change from time to time, and iBBT’s commercially reasonable attempts might or might not be effective for each technology or across all platforms.
