Summary of Information Safeguards
  • ICC automatically encrypts your confidential information in transit from your computer to ours using the Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL) with an encryption key length of 128-bits. Even before you register or log in to our site, our server checks that you're using an approved browser - one that uses SSL 3.0 or higher.
  • Once your information reaches us, it resides on a server that is protected, both physically and electronically. Our servers are located behind electronic firewalls and are NOT directly connected to the Internet, so your private information is available only to authorized computers.
  • Only authorized employees are permitted to access customer information. Authorized employees have been trained on how to handle information properly and are subject to strict limitations and guidelines in the handling of that information.
  • When you open an ICC document preparation account, we require certain information, such as your name, address, phone number and email address.
  • When you send, receive or request documents through ICC, we collect transaction information needed to perform the service.
  • When we cannot verify the information you provide online or your document request contains conflicting information, we may contact you by various means to request additional information. Contact may be established by telephone, fax, e-mail or other electronic means.
  • We do not share information with any third-parties unless you specifically direct and control the information and the recipient. ICC does not have any affiliates or other third-parties with whom we do business. However, we do anticipate offering our clients the ability to use third-party services to order compliance reports. In such case, ICC does not participate or benefit from the contractual obligations between our client and their designated report vendor. ICC’s role is limited to providing non-GLBA data over a secure link to the report vendor and, using the same secure link, retrieves the vendor’s report to display within the context screens of ICC’s document preparation system.
  • We may provide information to agencies or authorities with whom we are legally required to cooperate. We may disclose information during the investigation of fraud or illegal activity. For example, we may disclose information in response to a subpoena, warrant, court order, or comparable legal process.
  • You have the ability to view or update your account information any time by contacting ICC customer service.
