This Privacy Policy applies to the Personal Information you provide to us or that we obtain on our websites and any mobile applications linking to this Privacy Policy (“Sites”). This Privacy Policy does not apply to Personal Information that you submit to websites belonging to our business partners or any other third parties or to any Personal Information that our business partners or third parties collect from you through the Sites, even if those third-party websites may be linked to our Sites.
Personal Information. “Personal Information” means information that identifies, relates to, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or describes, directly or indirectly, a particular individual, such as name, address, email address, or phone number.
User-Generated Content. This Privacy Policy does not apply to information you post online that is viewable to the public.
Information We Collect and How We Collect It
Information You Provide. We may collect and store the following Personal Information when you submit it: name, email address and phone number. We may use this information for typical business purposes (including auditing our interactions with our clients or Site visitors, for internal reporting purposes, or security and anti-fraud purposes) and as described more specifically below:
Personal Identifiers. We receive personal identifiers that you provide to us (such as your name, address, phone number, email address, billing address, shipping address, date of birth, insurance policy number, signature, and social security number in certain instances) and use them to respond to your requests; to create new member accounts at your request; to communicate with you for marketing and informational purposes (you may opt out of receiving marketing emails from us at any time by emailing us).
Geo-Location Information. Some of the information we collect, such as Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses, may be used to estimate an approximate location of the device you are using to access our Sites in order to enhance and personalize the features and functionality of our Sites, including our mobile applications, and service offerings.
De-identified or Aggregated Information. We may de-identify or aggregate data and may use and disclose it for any business purpose.
Inferences Drawn from Personal Information. We may use the information you provide to create a profile about your preferences to offer you services in which we think you might be interested.
