Your Consent to This Privacy Policy
By using our web sites, you signify that you agree with the terms
of our current Privacy Policy as posted on our sites as well as
the terms of our Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree with
any term in this Policy or our Terms and Conditions, please do
not use this site or provide any Personal Information to us.
The Information We Collect
As used in this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information”
means any information that is linked to your identity such as
your name, street address, telephone number, screen name, age
and/or email address. For information pertaining to Personal Information
collected from children, click here. The site
you entered may collect some or all of these types of Personal
Information through a product order, sweepstakes, contest, game,
survey, questionnaire or promotion, or a registration form. Some
of our web sites may require registration in order for you to
participate in sweepstakes, games or other activities. Axis Insurance Agency, Inc. will not collect any Personal Information from
your visits to our sites unless you provide your Personal Information
to us voluntarily. We also do not collect financial or other sensitive
data information about our users.
When you provide us with Personal Information, you are authorizing
us to use that information in accordance with the terms of this
Privacy Policy, which includes your right to limit our use of
your Personal Information as described in this Policy.
The web site you entered may also collect Personal Information
from you about a third party (e.g., the site might allow you to
send an email or message to a friend, in which case we will need
that person’s name and email address). Please note that
we use such information only for the specified purpose (e.g.,
to deliver the email message) and we will not contact the third
party again by email unless and until the third party contacts
us.
The Way We Use Personal Information
When you supply Personal Information at a Axis Insurance Agency, Inc.'s
web site, we will use it for the purpose for which it was collected
(e.g., to sign up for the email newsletter, or to fulfill the
delivery of a product order) in accordance with the terms of this
Privacy Policy. We may also use it to contact you regarding Axis Insurance Agency, Inc.’s products or promotions as well as other
products and services, which may be requested by or otherwise
of interest to you (including those we may offer jointly with
other companies). At any time, however, you may opt out of such
future contact by unsubscribing from our database. We also use
Personal Information to keep track of a user’s activities
on our sites, to improve our marketing and promotional efforts,
to statistically analyze web site usage, to improve our web site
features, design and content and to refine our marketing strategies.
Axis Insurance Agency, Inc. may also enhance your Personal Information
by linking it to data obtained from third parties, such as non-personally
identifiable information (e.g., demographic and geographic characteristics)
as well as other publicly available data such as census information.
Such enhanced information allows us to provide our users with
a more customized experience.
Axis Insurance Agency, Inc.’s primary goal in collecting and using
Personal Information is to give you a meaningful and customized
experience while you are using our web sites as well as to promote
our charity in a cost effective and efficient manner.
Collection and Use of Other Information;
Use of Cookies
You may have heard of “cookies,” which are small files
or pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your
computer’s hard drive when you visit a web site. The use
of cookies is an industry standard and you will find them at most
web sites. Axis Insurance Agency, Inc. may use cookies to collect other
information during your visit to our web sites, such as the particular
site areas you visit and the activities in which you participate
at our web sites. Axis Insurance Agency, Inc. does not automatically
collect any Personal Information, but we may combine non-personal
information collected automatically (through cookies) with voluntarily
submitted Personal Information. Such link may occur only if you
provide Axis Insurance Agency, Inc. with Personal Information on our
sites. This practice allows Axis Insurance Agency, Inc. to keep track
of items such as email interaction levels, survey responses, and
other web activity in order to better tailor our web site to your
interests and needs. Cookies may also be used to help speed up
your future activities at our web sites—the computer can
remember that you have already provided Personal Information to
us and not request that you provide it a second time.
Anonymous information about your computer, such as your IP address
(a number assigned to your computer whenever you surf the Internet),
the type of Internet browser you are using, and the type of computer
operating system you are using may also be collected by us using
cookies. Web servers, the computers that “serve up”
web pages, automatically identify your computer by its IP address.
When you request a page from this web site, our servers log your
IP address.
Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you’d
prefer, you can set yours to refuse cookies or to alert you when
cookies are being sent. Refusal of cookies at the site you entered
may result in an inability to visit certain areas of the web sites
or to receive personalized information when you visit the web
sites.
With Whom We May Share Information
In the course of doing business, we employ other companies to
perform a variety of functions on our behalf. For example, at
times we may retain third parties to analyze, update and correct
data we collect on our web sites, including Personal Information,
to help us improve our database and our web site. In addition,
we may share Personal Information with agents, suppliers, fulfillment
houses and other third parties to allow delivery of products,
information, prizes or services. These suppliers and other third
parties may have access to your Personal Information if it is
needed to perform their functions for Axis Insurance Agency, Inc., but
they are not authorized by us to use your Personal Information
in any way other than the intended use.
We also may share aggregate, non-personally identifiable information
about our users with advertisers, business partners, sponsors,
and other third parties. For example, we may tell a business partner
the number of men and the number of women that entered a contest,
but we do not disclose Personal Information about such contestants
in violation of this Privacy Policy.
Except as stated in this Privacy Policy, we do not sell, transfer
or disclose your Personal Information without your prior consent.
We may release your Personal Information if required to do so
by law, or by search warrant, subpoena or court order, or to a
third party to which ownership of Axis Insurance Agency, Inc. is transferred
via an acquisition, merger, sale of assets or otherwise.
