Why We Became Ibis Public Sector: A New Name, A Bigger Mission

A name is more than just a label – it reflects identity, purpose, and vision.

For years, Isobar Public Sector has helped government agencies, public and educational institutions modernize, enhance efficiency, and deliver better experiences for the communities they serve. By removing barriers and redundancies, we’ve empowered organizations to innovate faster and create new opportunities. As we grew, evolved, and expanded our capabilities, it became clear that our name needed to evolve with us—reflecting our commitment to driving transformation and maximizing impact.

The Story Behind the Change

In the public sector, change is constant. New policies, emerging technologies, shifting priorities—government agencies must continuously adapt to meet the needs of the people they serve.

We’ve seen this firsthand. Over the years, we’ve partnered with federal, state and local agencies, and educational institutions, helping them tackle digital transformation, data integration, security challenges, and citizen engagement. But as our role expanded, so did our responsibility.

We weren’t just implementing solutions anymore—we were shaping the future of public sector innovation. As we stepped into this larger role, we needed a name that truly represented what we stood for.

Why Ibis?

The ibis symbolizes balance, adaptability, and unity—qualities that define our work and the value we bring to our clients.

Balance:

Like the ibis that moves with precision, we help agencies balance innovation with stability, ensuring new technology seamlessly integrates into existing infrastructures.

Adaptability:

Just as the ibis thrives in ever-changing environments, we confidently help public sector organizations navigate evolving challenges.

Unity:

The ibis is known for moving in sync with its flock—as we work collaboratively with agencies, partners, and communities to drive impactful change.

In short, Ibis Public Sector (IPS) is more than a new name—it reflects how we approach our work: agile, collaborative, and built for the long term.

What’s Changed?

  • A New Name, Logo, and Website – We’ve updated our brand to reflect our evolution, but our core mission remains unchanged.
  • Stronger Capabilities – As part of Reingold, Inc., we now have even more resources to deliver high-impact solutions for the public sector.
  • A Broader Vision – We’re focused on helping agencies drive mission success, modernize operations, and improve the citizen experience.

What Hasn’t Changed?

  • Our People & Expertise – The same team you trust, bringing decades of experience in:
  • Citizen Engagement – Creating seamless, accessible public services
  • Modernization & Security – Moving agencies toward cloud-based, AI-driven solutions
  • Data Insights – Turning fragmented data into actionable intelligence
  • Process Automation – Streamlining workflows and improving efficiency
  • Our Commitment to You – While our name has changed, our mission has not. We remain dedicated to helping agencies work smarter, serve better, and innovate faster.

What’s Next?

This isn’t just a name change—it’s a commitment to growing with our clients, expanding our impact, and shaping the future of public sector technology.

Personal data is “sold” when it is provided to a third-party for monetary or other valuable consideration for purposes that are not a “business purpose,” as set forth in the CCPA or other applicable U.S. state privacy laws.  Personal data is “shared,” as defined under the CCPA and other applicable U.S. state laws, when it is provided to a third-party for personalized advertising purposes.  We do not “sell” or “share” your personal data to any third-party and have not done so in the past twelve (12) months.

We may use personal data to create deidentified or aggregated data which does not identify you or any other individual. We may use and disclose this anonymous or aggregated data as we choose.

Information Sharing and Disclosing

Information shared within our group of companies 

We are a globally operating media group consisting of multiple companies. Therefore, we may from time to time disclose your personal data within our group of companies. 

Information shared with our third-party service providers

We use a number of third parties to perform business functions on our behalf, such as sending our newsletters and hosting our online services and customer relationship management. We will disclose personal data to these vendors and service providers to enable them to provide their services. 

Information shared due to corporate mergers or restructuring

We may disclose personal data with any successor to all or part of our business. For example, if part of our business is sold, we may give our customer list as part of that transaction. 

Information shared with other parties as required by law or to prevent or investigate illegal activities

Where required or permitted by law, personal data may be provided to others, such as regulator and law enforcement agencies, for example in response to a court order or a subpoena, or in response to a law enforcement agency’s request, or where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities or to protect us, our websites, customers, employees, and business partners from fraud or other malicious activity, and as otherwise required by law. We might share your personal data in order to enforce our agreements and to protect our rights and/or the rights of others. We might share your personal data when we are investigating potential fraud. 

We may use and share personal data as otherwise disclosed to you from time to time when collecting your personal data or as otherwise permitted by law. 

Where and When We Send Information 

We are a globally operating media group consisting of multiple companies. Therefore, we may from time to time disclose your personal data within our group of companies. Some of our group companies are located inside the European Union (“EU”) or European Economic Area (“EEA”), and we implement and maintain policies designed to ensure the security of such disclosures and transfers in accordance with the applicable privacy and data protection laws.

If you reside in the EU or EEA, we will only transfer your personal data outside the EU or EEA where we are satisfied that adequate levels of protection are in place designed to protect the integrity and security of any information being processed in compliance with applicable privacy and data protection laws. These measures may include, as applicable, the use of standard contractual/data protection clauses adopted by the European Commission and where transfers are to the United States of America, the EU-US Privacy Shield, Swiss-US Privacy Shield or your consent. Where we transfer personal data between our group companies we have covered these transfers by entering into standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission.  

You may request further information on the measures used for such transfers via the contact details given in this Privacy Notice.

Retention of your Information

We retain information for different periods of time depending on the purposes for which we collect and use it, as described in this Privacy Notice. We will delete or de-identify information when it is no longer needed to fulfill these purposes unless a longer retention period is required to comply with applicable laws. There may be technical or other operational reasons where we are unable to fully delete or de-identify your information. Where this is the case, we will take reasonable measures to prevent further processing your information.

Your Choices

You have certain choices about how we use your information. 

You may choose not to receive marketing communications from us. You can ask us to stop such messages at any time by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of the message.  Please note that even if you choose not to receive marketing communications from us, you still may receive non-marketing communications, such as responses to your inquiries or notices regarding your account or our relationship with you.

Notice Concerning Do Not Track

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information collected on our websites for third-party purposes, and that is why we provide the variety of opt-out mechanisms listed above, and in our Cookies Notice. Some web browsers offer users a “Do Not Track” privacy preference setting in the web browser. We do not currently recognize or respond to browser initiated Do Not Track signals. 

Your Privacy Rights

The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), as amended, the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (“VCDPA”), the Colorado Privacy Act (“CPA”), the Connecticut Data Privacy Act (“CTDPA”), and the Utah Consumer Privacy Act (“UCPA”) provides residents of their respective states with additional rights with respect to their personal data. 

Depending on where you live and what you are asking us to do, we may or may not be obligated to comply with your request, and/or the time required to complete a request may vary.  Based on how we collect and utilize your personal data, you may have the following rights:

  • Right to Access – You have the right to request that we provide you with a copy of the specific pieces of personal data we collected about you over the past 12 months.
  • Right to Delete – You have the right to request that we delete your personal data that we maintain about you, subject to certain exceptions.
  • Right to Correct – You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate personal data that we maintain about you, subject to certain exceptions.
  • Right to Non-Discrimination – You have the right to not receive discriminatory treatment for the exercise of your private rights.

You can submit these requests by emailing us at info@ibispublicsector.com or calling (+1) (312) 529-3500. We may deny certain requests, or fulfill a request only in part, based on our legal rights and obligations. For example, we may retain personal data as permitted by law, such as for record keeping purposes, to maintain an active account, and to process facilitate customer requests. Note that for purposes of these requests under this Privacy Notice, personal data does not include information we have collected as a service provider to our clients. Finally, please note that we are required by California Civil Code section 1798.105(d) to keep a record of your request. 

Only you, or a person or business entity registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf (an “authorized agent”), may make the requests set forth above. You may also make a request on behalf of your minor child.

The request should include your contact information and describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. In addition, you should provide sufficient information (including information that reasonably enables us verify the identifying information we currently maintain about you) that allows us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected the personal data or an authorized representative.

We will respond to consumer requests in a reasonably timely manner. If we require extra time to respond, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. In order to protect the security of your personal data, we will not honor a request if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal data relates to you. The method used to verify your identity will depend on the type, sensitivity and value of the information, including the risk of harm to you posed by any authorized access or deletion. Generally speaking, verification will be performed by matching the identifying information provided by you to the personal data that we already have.  

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your request (and will not be made more than twice in a 12-month period). If we cannot comply with a request, or cannot fully comply with a request, the response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply. If we deny your request in whole or in part, you may have the right to appeal the decision. In such circumstances, we will provide you with information regarding the appeals process. 

How We Protect Your Personal Data

We have reasonable security measures in place to help protect personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

We have implemented reasonable, industry-standard security policies, standards and practices designed to protect information from internal and external threats. The degree of protection for each piece of information is based on the risk and consequences associated with having that information compromised. While no security measures will provide for absolute security, all of our employees responsible for the management of information have the responsibility to adhere to our documented security controls, which are developed commensurate with the understood risk.

Our Responsibility for Website Links

This Privacy Notice is limited to the personal data collected by us. We do provide links within this site to other websites, including social media sites, such as LinkedIn. If you follow these links, your use of these sites will be governed by their applicable user and privacy notices since their data practices fall outside the scope of this Privacy Notice.
