Privacy Policy
Internet user privacy and confidentiality is important to i2B Software. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used.
Information Collection and Use
i2B is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. Unless the user provides it voluntarily, i2B does not collect any personally identifiable information about visitors of the website. Some pages permit visitors to request additional information. Visitors are able to e-mail messages directly, complete a form, submit questions via online chat to i2B that will contain the user’s name and email address, as well as any additional information the user may wish to include in the message. i2B uses the information visitors provide about themselves to fulfill those visitors’ requests. We will not sell or rent this information to third parties, we may use the details you supply and upload to a third party data processor defined below. Also the data will be collated into an email and sent to us over the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). Our SMTP servers are protected by TLS (sometimes known as SSL) meaning that the email content is encrypted using SHA-2, 256-bit cryptography before being sent across the internet. The email content is then decrypted by our local computers and devices.
Information Collected During Registration
During registration of products online (after purchase or commencement of trail), users specify limited information about themselves. i2B may use this information to provide with notices of new information that may be of use or interest to users. This may include notifications generated from the use of the software (eg changes to a purchase order delivery date), i2B newsletters, i2B Connect tutorials, website update notices, or notification on the availability of new products, and product updates. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others. Occasionally a user may be asked to provide a statement, provide a reference, authorize a quote or testimonial, or participate in a press release or case study. No user is obligated to provide any details about the product or it’s use. No statements will be taken or used without prior written consent.
Email Newsletter
If you choose to join our email newsletter, the email address that you submit to us will be forwarded to MailChimp who provide us with email marketing services. We consider MailChimp to be a third party data processor. The email address that you submit will not be stored within this website’s own database or in any of our internal computer systems.
Your email address will remain within MailChimp’s database for as long as we continue to use MailChimp’s services for email marketing or until you specifically request removal from the list. You can do this by unsubscribing using the unsubscribe links contained in any email newsletters that we send you or by requesting removal via email. When requesting removal via email, please send your email to us using the email account that is subscribed to the mailing list.
If you are under 16 years of age you MUST obtain parental consent before joining our email newsletter.
While your email address remains within the MailChimp database, you will receive periodic newsletter-style emails from us.
