1. OVERVIEW
This privacy policy (this “Privacy Policy”) describes how Southern Loss Association (“Company”) maintains, uses, and shares information that it may collect when you use the website at www.southernloss.com (the “Site”) and any services made available by means of the Site (the “Services”). The Site and the Services are referred to collectively in this Privacy Policy as the “Services.” By using any of the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the provisions of this Privacy Policy.
This privacy policy may change from time to time. Any such changes will be posted here. If a material change is made in the way the Company uses your personal information, the change will be prominently noted on the Services and/or in an email to you regarding the change.
2. HOW THE COMPANY COLLECTS AND USES INFORMATION
Some of the information collected when you use the Services, such as your name, postal address, email address, credit card information, or telephone number, may allow you to be identified (“Personal Information”). In all of the following circumstances, the Company will use Personal Information for the purpose described below, as well as to supplement the database of marketing contacts, which it will use to provide and promote services.
Submission: When you register on the Services, such as requesting a quote or submitting an employment application, you will be asked to provide certain Personal Information, which the Company will use to fulfill your request.
Linking from Emails. If you link to this Site from an email message from the Company, it will be able to identify your email address and associate that email address with the manner in which you use the Sites (e.g., which pages you visit or whether you make a purchase).
Visitors: If you are just visiting the Site and not registering, requesting information, contacting me, or posting to a public area of the Services, and you did not access the Site from a link contained in one of my email communications, the Company will not ordinarily collect any Personal Information about you except through weblogs, as described below. In that case, the Company obtains the information that you provided and will use it to respond to your inquiry or fulfill your request if it can. The Company does not share any of this information with anyone else, except to respond to your request, if you consent, or as otherwise described in this privacy policy.
Web Logs: The Company maintains web logs that automatically record basic information about everyone who visits the Services. The Company uses web log information to help it design the website, to identify popular features, to improve services, and for other managerial and analytic purposes. The Company may also use weblogs to help identify any person who may be misusing the Services. These logs contain:
- The Internet domain from which you access the Services.
- Your IP address.
- The type of browser and operating system that you use.
- The date and time you visited the Services.
- The pages that you visited on the Services.
- The address of the website you linked from to get to the Services.
Cookies: The Company uses cookies, web beacons, and similar technology to help you navigate the Services, to allow it to learn how you use the Services, and to improve the Services. Cookies are text files placed in your computer’s browser to store your preferences. Cookies, by themselves, do not reveal any Personal Information unless you choose to provide this information to the Company by, for example, submitting information through the Site. However, once you choose to provide Personal Information to the Services, this information may be linked to the data stored in the cookie. If you decide not to permit cookies on your computer, this may affect your ability to use the Services.
Communicating with You. The Company may use the information that it collects from you for the purpose of communicating with you and responding to your inquiries. Those communications could, for example, take the form of service updates, promotions for services, or e-newsletters.
Service Providers: The Company at times contracts with third-party service providers to perform functions for the Site. These service providers may be given access to the information collected for the purpose of performing those functions, but they will be contractually bound to maintain the confidentiality of the information and not to use it for any other purpose.
Social Media. The Sites may include social media features, such as Facebook “Like” button and a “Share” button. These features may collect your IP address and which page you are visiting on the Site, and they may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company that provides the feature.
Business Transfers: If the Company were to transfer all or substantially all of its assets to another company, one of the assets it would likely include in the transfer is the database of Personal Information.
Disclosures for Legal Reasons: The Company will disclose Personal Information when it is required to do so by law, regulation, or securities exchange requirement, for example, in response to a court order or subpoena. It also may disclose such information in response to a law enforcement agency’s request or when the Company believes such disclosure is appropriate to protect our legal rights or to safeguard anyone’s property or safety.
3. COLLECTION OF INFORMATION BY THIRD PARTIES
The Company may use a third-party advertising company to serve ads when you visit the Site. If it does so, this company may use information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visit to the Services in order to provide advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you. In the course of serving advertisements to the Services, the advertiser might place or recognize a unique “cookie” on your browser.
The Company may offer you the opportunity to contact other companies, such as advertisers, marketing affiliates, and content providers, to obtain information or to buy products or services. You decide when and whether to give your Personal Information to these companies. If you provide information, its use and security are governed by the policies and practices of those companies and not by this privacy policy.
