Inter-Con Security Systems, Inc. (“Inter-Con”) respects your privacy and is committed to collecting, maintaining, and using personal information about you transparently.  This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) applies to your use of www.icsecurity.com and other services offered through the icsecurity.com domain (the “Site”) and to information we may collect about you when you visit our offices.

By using the Site or visiting our offices, you agree to this Privacy Policy. Please read it carefully.

Please read this Policy carefully before you use our Site, communicate with us through the Site, or visit our offices.  The practices described in this Policy are subject to applicable laws in the places in which we operate.  By accessing the Site, communicating with us through the Site, or visiting our offices, you are accepting the terms of this Policy, which may be updated and amended from time to time.

2. What Information Do We Collect?

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect several types of information about you from a variety of sources, including:

• Like many websites, our server logs automatically collect certain information regarding your interactions with the Site, including through cookies, pixels, or other tracking technologies (“Tracking Technologies”) including your operating system, browser software, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, and the full Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) clickstream to, through, and from our website, including date and time.
• We also use the services of other third-party entities, such as Google Analytics and ZoomInfo, to help us log and analyze Site traffic, and that may result in our collecting and/or the service provider collecting certain information about you.  When you use the Site, such third-party entities, including Google Analytics and ZoomInfo may make use of cookies and other Tracking Technologies and receive information about you, including unique identifiers, such as mobile device identifiers, the URL of the page you are visiting, and your IP address.  For further information on the use of Tracking Technologies and your choices, see the section below, “Tracking Technologies and Do Not Track Signals.”  You can learn more about Google Analytics’ and ZoomInfo’s collection and use of your personal information by visiting Google Analytics’ privacy policy or ZoomInfo’s privacy policy.

• You may opt to apply for a position through our Site.  We use the services of other third-party entities, such as Paycom Software, Inc. (“Paycom”), to facilitate such applications.  If you choose to use these services, Inter-Con and the relevant service provider will collect information about you, which may include your name and contact information, a cover letter, a resume, transcripts, a personal statement, references, employment and education history, and other standard applicant information.  Please review the privacy policy or privacy notice of these third-party entities that we may rely upon for information about their privacy practices. Paycom’s privacy policy is available here. 
• When you visit our offices, we may collect your name, the date and times you visited, and who you were here to see.  We may also use security technologies, such as security cameras, to enhance the physical security of our offices.  If you use our guest wireless network, we may also log information about your use of that service for network administration, analysis, troubleshooting, and other operational purposes.

In addition to the information described above, we may obtain information about you from outside sources, including information that we collect directly from third parties, information from third parties that you choose to share with us, and information from publicly available sources. Any information we receive from outside sources will be treated in accordance with this Policy. We are not responsible for the accuracy of the information provided to us by third parties and are not responsible for any third-party’s policies or practices.

5. Links to Third Party Sites

Our Site may contain links to other entities’ websites and services.  Please note that these links are provided for your convenience and information and to assist us in collecting information related, for example, to job applications.  We do not control such third-party websites and services and they are not affiliated with us and operate independently from us. Such third-party websites and services have their own privacy policies or notices, which you should review if you follow such links. We are not responsible for the privacy or security of, or information found on, these sites or platforms, or the accuracy, completeness or reliability of third-party materials. Information you provide on public or semi-public venues, such as third-party social networking platforms, may also be viewable by other users of the Site and/or users of those third-party platforms without limitation as to its use. Our inclusion of such links does not, by itself, imply any endorsement of the content on such platforms or of their owners or operators.

6. Tracking Technologies and Do Not Track Signals

When you use our Site, we and third parties use Tracking Technologies to collect certain information about your interactions with the Site.  Most browsers accept Tracking Technologies automatically, but you may be able to control the way in which your devices permit the use of certain Tracking Technologies. If you so choose, you may block or delete certain Tracking Technologies from your browser; however, blocking or deleting cookies may cause some of the features and functionality of the Site to work incorrectly. 

Some browsers may allow you to transmit a signal or other mechanism for exercising your choice regarding the collection or processing of your information when you visit various websites. Our Site is not currently set up to respond to such signals and does not currently change the way it operates based upon detection of such signals.

7. Contacting You

We may contact you using SMS, email or application-based notifications as described in this Policy or applicable contract between us and you or your organization, including as necessary in connection with our Site, products, and services you use.  Unless you tell us otherwise by “opting out,” we may also contact you regarding other products and services that may be of interest to you. You may opt out of marketing at any time by using the unsubscribe / opt-out instructions provided in our communications to you. If you opt out, we may still send you transactional or administrative messages, such as emails about your account. No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes.

8. Data Security and Retention

We have implemented commercially reasonable security measures designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. However, despite our efforts to protect your information, no security measures are impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee “perfect security.” Any information you send to us electronically, while using the Site or otherwise interacting with us, may not be secure while in transit. We recommend that you do not use unsecure channels to send us sensitive or confidential information. 

We retain your information for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes specified in this Policy. When determining the length of time to retain your information, we consider various criteria, including whether we need the information to continue to provide you with the Site, resolve a dispute, enforce our contractual agreements, prevent harm, promote safety, security and integrity or protect ourselves, including our rights, property or products. 

9. Changes to Our Privacy Policy

Inter-Con reserves the right to amend this Policy at our discretion and at any time.  When we make changes to this Policy, we will post the updated Policy on the Site and update the Policy’s effective date.  If we make material changes to how we use or disclose information we collect, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you (such as by emailing you at the last email address you provided us or by posting notice of such changes on the Site) and will take additional steps as required by applicable law. Your continued use of our Site following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes.
