The information generated by cookies about the use of the Services is transmitted to a Google server, which may be located within or outside of, the United States, and stored there. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the Services.  Google may transfer these rights to third parties insofar as it is required to do so by law or in order that data may be processed on Google’s behalf.

We may disclose aggregated information about our users, and information that does not identify any individual or device, without restriction. In addition, we may disclose personal information that we collect or you provide:

  • To our affiliates, contractors, service providers, and other third parties we use to support our operations. This may include disclosures to third party administrators who underwrite, administer policies or process claims on our behalf.
  • To a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of the Company’s assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by the Company about our users is among the assets transferred.

Except as provided herein, personal information collected through the Services will not be sold or otherwise disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes.

IX. Your Choices About Our Collection, Use, and Disclosure of Your Information

We strive to provide you with choices regarding the personal information you provide to us. If you do not want us to collect your information, as described in this notice, do not use the Services. This section describes mechanisms we provide for you to control certain uses and disclosures of your information.

  • Tracking Technologies. You can set your browser to refuse all or some cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. To learn how you can manage your cookie settings, visit the Flash player settings page on Adobe’s website or the website of your browser vendor. If you disable or refuse cookies or Flash cookies or block the use of other tracking technologies, some parts of the Services may then be inaccessible or not function properly.
  • Email and Solicitations. When you contact us through certain forms on the Services, you may thereafter be added to our email list(s) to receive email messages.  For example, if you contact us about an insurance product, we may email you to provide you with information about that product and the Company. At any time, you can choose to no longer receive such emails by using the “unsubscribe” method found at the bottom of each email or by sending us a return email stating your request.

You may also send us an email, give us a call, or write us a letter via the contact information provided in Section XIV of this Privacy Policy to specifically request to correct or delete any personal information that you have provided to us. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.

X. No Collection of Information from Children

Our Services are not intended for use by children under 13 years of age. We do not solicit or knowingly collect any information from visitors under 13 years of age, and please do not use the Services if you are not yet 13.  If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 13, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us immediately through the contact information found in Section XIV of this Privacy Policy.

XI. “Do Not Track” Signals

For residents of Delaware, 6 Del.C. § 1205C seeks disclosure of how the Services respond to web browser “do not track” signals or other mechanisms that provide consumers the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of personal information about their online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services.  Although it is not clear that the statute applies, we believe that an example might be a browser option allowing you to ask websites not to track you across third-party websites so that they can serve targeted or behavioral advertising to you.  The Services may collect personal information using behavioral tracking or associate personal information with other information collected using behavioral tracking.  If your browser or similar mechanism gives the Services a “do not track” signal, the Website will not honor it because of the tracking described in “Information We Collect and How We Collect It”. You should not use the Services if you desire a “do not track” signal, because the Services will not honor it.

XII. Using the Services from Outside the United States

This policy is intended to cover collection of information on or via the Services from residents of the United States. If you are visiting the Services from outside the United States, please be aware that the data protection laws of other countries might not be as comprehensive as those in your country.  By using the Services, you understand that your information may be transferred to our facilities and those third parties with whom we share it as described in this Privacy Policy.

XIII. Data Security

We have implemented reasonable measures designed to secure your information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your information, we cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted through our Services. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Services.
