We encourage you to carefully read the privacy statement of any site you visit.

Active Information Collection

Our Site is designed to provide our customers, prospective customers, and visitors a confidential means of gathering information about us, our services and products. As a result, the Site is not designed to actively collect information from you, such as by providing functionality to request a quote or submit a claim. You can browse our Site without identifying who you are or being asked to provide information. If you would like to contact us, however, you may do so by clicking “Contact Us” and voluntarily provide us with the requested information. Any information you voluntarily provide will be used by our employees and contractors for internal business purposes and to contact you about our services and products. Information you voluntarily provide may be shared with affiliates and third parties for marketing, solicitation and other purposes.

We may automatically gather server log file information such as your IP address, information about the devices you use to access the sites (e.g., browser type/version, OS type/version, device type/version), referring/exit pages, date/time stamp, and/or clickstream data.  We use this information to administer our website, diagnose and fix technical issues and monitor the security of our environments. We may also use server log file information for other business purposes relating to the operation, improvement and enhancement of the Site.  We may make this information available to our service providers or other affiliates.

We or our third-party service providers may also use cookies, analytics and other technologies to evaluate the performance and usage of the sites and to analyze how visitors navigate through the sites.

Protecting Information Gathered and Security

Information we collect about you that you have not provided voluntarily is limited to our employees and service providers who need to know that information for the purposes described in this Policy. We will retain information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or not prohibited by applicable law. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect the information we collect.
