Privacy Policy
At IntelligenceBank, we take privacy very seriously. We’ve updated our privacy policy (Policy) to ensure that we communicate to You, in the clearest way possible, how we treat personal information and other data stored within the IntelligenceBank Service (Service). We encourage You to read this Policy carefully as it will help You make informed decisions about sharing Your personal information with us. If you do not agree with this Policy, you are advised to not use the Service.
IntelligenceBank means IntelligenceBank Pty Ltd and its related entities, including Red Marker Pty Ltd.
Overview of data stored within the Service
IntelligenceBank is a provider of easy to use, digital content management software that’s simple, smart, and secure and gives you a better way of managing digital content. There are two types of data we manage: data that we process only and data that we process, collect and control.
Service Data we process, but do not control nor collect
The Service involves the storage of “Service Data” in the form of files, records, email alerts, user email addresses and names, comments and posts and other items that you upload into our software. It is up to each Customer to determine the types of data it can store within the Service according to their own data protection policies, and relevant legislation. IntelligenceBank does not govern the type of data Customers upload, and per our Terms of Service, Customers agree to upload data that is not illegal in nature. IntelligenceBank does not permit the uploading of content that is personally-identifiable and sensitive content. Examples of prohibited information include, but not limited to; bank account details, health records, taxation or other financial information.
In providing our Service, we do not own, control nor direct the use of the personal information or other information stored or processed on our platform by Customers, and in fact we are unaware of what information is uploaded to our platform and only access such information as authorized by our Customers or as required by law. As such, we are only the “data processors” and not the “data controllers” of the information uploaded to our Service. As a data processor, we implement appropriate technical, physical and administrative measures against unauthorized processing of such information and against loss, destruction of, or damage to, and unauthorized access to personal information.
Our Customers, who control their customer data and upload it to IntelligenceBank for processing, are the “controllers” of that data and are responsible for compliance with various directives pending jurisdiction and location. Where the Service is made available to you via an organization (e.g. as your employer) that organization is the administrator of the Service and is responsible for the accounts it has control over. If this is the case, we encourage you to familiarize yourself with your organization’s policies in relation to Use of Services. We are not responsible for the privacy or security practices of a Customer Administrator, which may differ from this Policy.
Data we collect, process and control
To provide the Service, IntelligenceBank processes, collects and controls a range of data sets, including “Basic Personal Information” which contains at minimum an individual’s email address (typically a work email address), and an individual’s name. Other personal data you may share with IntelligenceBank can include an address (typically a business address), telephone number and other details You nominate. IntelligenceBank does not knowingly collect, process or control any personal information from children under the age of 18.
IntelligenceBank may collect personal information directly from You when You:
– register for a free trial and create an account,
– download a resource,
– become a Customer,
– use the Service,
– post to the IntelligenceBank Community forum or on our blog,
– contact the IntelligenceBank support team, and
– visit our Website.
By engaging with the activities mentioned above, when possible You will be asked to agree with our Privacy Policy. You can always choose not to provide Your personal information to IntelligenceBank, but it may mean that we are unable to provide You with various services.
At a minimum, IntelligenceBank requires an email address and first name to provide any of the above requests or use cases. IntelligenceBank collects, holds, and uses Your personal information for limited purposes. IntelligenceBank collects Your personal information so that we can provide You with the Service and any related services You may request. In doing so, IntelligenceBank may use the personal information we have collected from You for purposes related to the Services including to:
– verify Your identity,
– administer the Service,
– understand usage of the Service,
– notify You of new or changed services offered in relation to the Service,
– carry out marketing, product planning or training relating to the Service,
– assist with the resolution of technical support issues or other issues relating to the Service,
– comply with laws and regulations in applicable jurisdictions, and
– communicate with You.
By using the Service, You consent to Your personal information being collected, held and used in this way and for any other use You authorize IntelligenceBank will only use Your personal information for the purposes described in this Policy.
You may have noted customer testimonials that have been posted on the IntelligenceBank Website which may contain personal information. Prior to posting any testimonial, we obtain the customer’s consent to post their names along with their comments about the Service, or have extracted this from other publicly available review websites.
IntelligenceBank may receive personal information from You about others
If You provide IntelligenceBank with personal information about someone else, You must ensure that You are authorized to disclose that information to IntelligenceBank and that, without IntelligenceBank taking any further steps required by applicable data protection or privacy laws, IntelligenceBank may collect, use and disclose such information for the purposes described in this Policy.
This means that You must take reasonable steps to ensure the individual concerned is aware of and/or consents to the various matters detailed in this Policy, including the fact that their personal information is being collected, the purposes for which that information is being collected, the intended recipients of that information, the individual’s right to obtain access to that information, IntelligenceBank’s identity, and how to contact IntelligenceBank.
When requested to do so by IntelligenceBank, You must also assist IntelligenceBank with any requests by the individual to access or update the personal information You have collected from them and entered into the Service.
IntelligenceBank can aggregate Your data and track individual usage of the Service
By using the Service, You agree that IntelligenceBank can access, aggregate and use non-personally identifiable data IntelligenceBank has collected from You.
As a feature within the Service, IntelligenceBank tracks individual usage details by file or record and by user to provide Main Administrators with detailed usage analytics. If you do not agree to this, you must ask the Administrator of Your Service to remove You from the system or to assign You a username (email address) and User Name that does not identify You personally.
All personal information you provide to us through surveys will be treated in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Your personal details will not be published on the site or sold to any third party. All data that is collected from the survey is both aggregated and anonymized, therefore individual data will remain anonymous.
IntelligenceBank may use aggregated and personal data to:
– Provide our customers with further information by participating in publicly available marketing surveys.
– Assist us to better understand how our customers are using the Service.
– Provide our customers with further information regarding the uses and benefits of the Service
– Otherwise to improve the Service.
Pending your geography and server specification, IntelligenceBank holds Your Service data and personal information on servers located in the United States of America, Australia, Canada or the United Kingdom.
We use top tier, third party data hosting providers (AWS) to host our Services which are ISO27001 and SOC 2 compliant.
While your personal information will be stored on servers specified in geographic regions as noted in your contract, it will remain within IntelligenceBank’s effective control at all times. Our data hosting provider’s role is limited to providing a hosting and storage service to IntelligenceBank, and we have taken steps to ensure that our data hosting providers do not have access to, and use the necessary level of protection for Your personal information. They do not control, and are not permitted to access or use Your personal information, except for the limited purpose of storing the information. This means that IntelligenceBank keeps Your personal data in the country/region specified on your contract.
IntelligenceBank takes steps to protect your personal information

Your personal information is stored on secure servers that have SSL Certificates and encrypt data at rest, and all data transferred between You and the Service is encrypted.

Transmission of personal information over the Internet is at Your own risk and You should only enter, or instruct the entering of, personal information to the Service within a secure environment.
We will advise You at the first reasonable opportunity of a confirmed security breach, within 24 hours, where Your personal information is lost, stolen, accessed, used, disclosed, copied, modified, or disposed of by any unauthorized person(s) or in any unauthorized manner.
