Privacy Policy
Our Commitment to Privacy Our Privacy Policy was developed as an extension
of our commitment to combine the highest-quality products and
services with the highest level of integrity in dealing with
our clients and partners. The Policy is designed to assist you
in understanding how we collect, use and safeguard the personal
information you provide to us and to assist you in making
informed decisions when using our site and our products and
services. This statement will be continuously assessed against
new technologies, business practices and our customers’
needs.
What Information Do We Collect? When you visit our Web site you may provide us
with two types of information: personal information you
knowingly choose to disclose that is collected on an individual
basis and Web site use information collected on an aggregate
basis as you and others browse our Web site.
1. Personal Information You Choose to
Provide
Credit Card Information If you choose to purchase products or services
from us or our partners, you may need to give personal
information and authorization to obtain information from
various credit services. For example, you may need to provide
the following information: Name, Mailing address, Email
address, Credit card number, Home and business phone number,
Other personal information (i.e. mother’s maiden name)
Email Information In addition to providing the foregoing information to
our partners, if you choose to correspond further with us
through email, we may retain the content of your email messages
together with your email address and our responses. We provide
the same protections for these electronic communications that
we employ in the maintenance of information received by mail
and telephone.
2. Web Site Use Information Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web
site utilizes a standard technology called
“cookies” (see explanation below, “What Are
Cookies?”) and Web server logs to collect information
about how our Web site is used. Information gathered through
cookies and Web server logs may include the date and time of
visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our Web site, and the
Web sites visited just before and just after our Web site. This
information is collected on an aggregate basis. None of this
information is associated with you as an individual.
How Do We Use the Information That You
Provide to Us? Broadly
speaking, we use personal information for purposes of
administering our business activities, providing customer
service and making available other products and services to our
customers and prospective customers. Occasionally, we may also
use the information we collect to notify you about important
changes to our Web site, new services and special offers we
think you will find valuable. The lists used to send you
product and service offers are developed and managed under our
traditional corporate standards designed to safeguard the
security and privacy of our customers’ personal
information. As a customer, you will be given the opportunity,
at least once annually, to notify us of your desire not to
receive these offers.
What Are Cookies? Cookies are a feature of Web browser software
that allows Web servers to recognize the computer used to
access a Web site. Cookies are small pieces of data that are
stored by a user’s Web browser on the user’s hard
drive. Cookies can remember what information a user accesses on
one Web page to simplify subsequent interactions with that Web
site by the same user or to use the information to streamline
the user’s transactions on related Web pages. This makes
it easier for a user to move from Web page to Web page and to
complete commercial transactions over the Internet. Cookies
should make your online experience easier and more
personalized.
How Do We Use Information We Collect from
Cookies? We use Web site
browser software tools such as cookies and Web server logs to
gather information about our Web site users’ browsing
activities, in order to constantly improve our Web site and
better serve our customers. This information assists us to
design and arrange our Web pages in the most user-friendly
manner and to continually improve our Web site to better meet
the needs of our customers and prospective customers.
Cookies help us collect important business
and technical statistics. The information in the cookies lets
us trace the paths followed by users to our Web site as they
move from one page to another. Web server logs allow us to
count how many people visit our Web site and evaluate our Web
site’s visitor capacity. We do not use these technologies
to capture your individual email address or any personally
identifying information about you although they do permit us to
send focused online banner advertisements or other such
responses to you.
Sharing Information with Affiliates From time to time you may notice offers
from outside companies advertised on our Web site. We take
measures to select product or service providers that are
responsible and afford privacy protections to their customers.
However, we cannot make any representations about the practices
and policies of these companies.
Sharing Information with Strategic
Partners We may enter into
strategic marketing alliances or partnerships with third
parties who may be given access to personal information
including your name, address, telephone number and email for
the purpose of providing you information regarding products and
services that we think will be of interest to you. In
connection with strategic marketing alliances or partnerships,
we will retain all ownership rights to the information, and we
will not share information regarding your social security
number or other personal financial data.
Notice of New Services and Changes Occasionally, we may also use the
information we collect to notify you about important changes to
our Web site, new services and special offers we think you will
find valuable. As our client, you will be given the opportunity
to notify us of your desire not to receive these offers by
clicking on a response box when you receive such an offer or by
sending us an email request at info@dominionbenefits.com.
How Do We Secure Information
Transmissions? When you send
confidential personal credit card information to us on our Web
site, a secure server software which we have licensed encrypts
all information you input before it is sent to us. The
information is scrambled en route and decoded once it reaches
our Web site.
Other email that you may send to us may
not be secure unless we advise you that security measures will
be in place prior to your transmitting the information. For
that reason, we ask that you do not send confidential
information such as Social Security or account numbers to us
through an unsecured email.
How Do We Protect Your Information?
Information Security. We utilize encryption/security software to
safeguard the confidentiality of personal information we
collect from unauthorized access or disclosure and accidental
loss, alteration or destruction.
Evaluation of Information Protection
Practices. Periodically, our
operations and business practices are reviewed for compliance
with corporate policies and procedures governing the security,
confidentiality and quality of our information.
Employee Access, Training and
Expectations. Our corporate
values, ethical standards, policies and practices are committed
to the protection of customer information. In general, our
business practices limit employee access to confidential
information, and limit the use and disclosure of such
information to authorized persons, processes and transactions.
How Can You Access and Correct Your
Information? You may request
access to all your personally identifiable information that we
collect online and maintain in our database by emailing
info@dominionbenefits.com.
Do We Disclose Information to Outside
Parties? We may provide
aggregate information about our customers, sales, Web site
traffic patterns and related Web site information to our
affiliates or reputable third parties, but this information
will not include personally identifying data, except as
otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy.
What About Legally Compelled Disclosure of
Information? We may disclose
information when legally compelled to do so, in other words,
when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for
the protection of our legal rights.
What About Other Web Sites Linked to Our
Web Site? We are not
responsible for the practices employed by Web sites linked to
or from our Web site nor the information or content contained
therein. Often links to other Web sites are provided solely as
pointers to information on topics that may be useful to the
users of our Web site.
Please remember that when you use a link
to go from our Web site to another Web site, our Privacy Policy
is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any
other Web site, including Web sites which have a link on our
Web site, is subject to that Web site’s own rules and
policies. Please read over those rules and policies before
proceeding.
Your Consent By using our Web site you consent to our collection
and use of your personal information as described in this
Privacy Policy. If we change our privacy policies and
procedures, we will post those changes on our Web site to keep
you aware of what information we collect, how we use it and
under what circumstances we may disclose it.
