Rules on business interests while in IB

What are the rules governing share ownership and other business interests while working in IB? I understand that you need to declare any trades you make, and obviously you can't trade on inside information you've gleaned, but what about private business ownership? Is this allowed? I assume yes as long as there are not conflicts of interest?
