Alliant Privacy Policy

1. Our Pledge to You

At Alliant Insurance Services, Inc. (“Alliant”), one of our top priorities is making sure that the information we have about you is protected and secure. We value our relationship with you and work hard to preserve your privacy and ensure that your preferences are honored. At the same time, the very nature of our relationship may result in Alliant’s collecting or sharing certain types of information about you in order to provide the products and services you expect from us.

This Privacy Policy describes the information collected on our websites (including, but not limited to, www.alliant.com) (the “Sites”) and how it is used and protected. This Privacy Policy applies only to the Sites.

By using the Sites or by providing your information to us, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy, the Terms and Conditions, Alliant’s Privacy Notices (to the extent applicable), and any written agreement(s) executed and in effect in connection with any of our products or services.

2. What Information is Collected by Alliant or its Service Providers and When

The information we receive and how we use it depends on what you do when visiting the Sites. The Sites and related services may require registration for access. As part of registration and related services, we ask you to provide us certain information about you. You may provide us and our service providers personal information using the Sites in a number of ways, for example by entering that information into data fields on the Site (e.g., by creating an account) or in communications with us using the contact information at the end of this Privacy Policy or in the Terms and Conditions or Privacy Notices. Personal information includes data that specifically identifies you, such as your name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, and financial information. Public information is that information that you make publicly available through your account or by posting or otherwise communicating via the Sites.

We may receive personal information from other sources. For example, if you connect your social media account(s) to your account, the social media site may share information with us about your use of their services, including information about your profile, contacts, and viewed or liked content. We encourage you to read the applicable privacy policies for your social media accounts. We shall have no responsibility for the data collection and use practices of those social media sites.

If you use the Sites to make a payment, we collect information about the transaction. This includes the date of the transaction, payment information, such as your credit or debit card number and other card information, and other account and authentication information, as well as billing and contact details.

Alliant and its service providers also collect certain non-personal information, data that does not identify you as an individual person. This information tells us about how people use the Sites so that we can analyze their effectiveness and provide you with a better web experience. We collect and use this information through a variety of technologies, including “cookies” and analysis applications, as discussed below.

(a) Server Information

Like every website, the Alliant servers automatically and temporarily store the following information in the server log files. This information is provided by your browser, unless you have deactivated the function.

The server log files are not analyzed with respect to individuals. At no time can this data be attributed to specific individuals.

(b) Site Visit Tracking Technologies

As is standard practice on many websites, the Sites may use “cookies” and other technologies to help Alliant understand which parts of the Sites are the most popular and the preferences of the Alliant customers. Alliant may also use cookies and other technologies to study traffic patterns on the Sites, to improve their functionality and usability as well as to improve the effectiveness of our communications with users. Alliant may also use cookies to customize your experience and provide greater convenience to you during your interactions with the Sites.

A cookie is a unique alphanumeric identifier that websites use to help identify the number of unique visitors to a website, whether or not those visitors are repeat visitors, and the source of the visits. Cookies cannot be executed as code or used to deliver a virus and thus pose no threat to you. Servers and sites other than the one placing the cookie on your hard drive cannot read the cookie, and no personal information can be gathered by other servers from the cookie. If you prefer not to enable cookies or to disable them, you may do so through your web browser’s security settings. Please note that certain features of the Sites may not be available once cookies have been disabled.

Like most websites, the Sites gather certain information automatically and stores it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (“IP”) addresses, browser type, operating system, internet service provider (“ISP”), referring/exit pages, date/time stamp of access, and clickstream data, and information about the content you view on the Sites. When you visit the Sites, the servers automatically log your IP address, the time and duration of your visit, and the time and duration spent on the pages of the Sites which you view. If you arrive at the Sites by clicking a paid advertisement or a link in a communication, then the server will capture information that tracks your visit from that link. If you arrive at the Sites by clicking on a non-paid source, such as a search engine result or link on another website, the server may capture information that tracks your visit from that source, to the extent available.

Some of our communications to you may contain a “click-through URL” which links to content on the Sites. When you click one of these URLs, it passes information through the Alliant web server before you arrive at the destination web page. Alliant tracks this click-through data to help determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our communications. If you prefer not to be tracked, simply avoid clicking text or graphic links in emails you receive from Alliant.

Certain features of the Sites may use local stored objects (“Flash cookies”) to collect and store information about your preferences and navigation to, from, and on our websites. Flash cookies are not managed by the same browser settings as are used for browser cookies.

Alliant additionally may use web beacons or pixel tags, which are tiny invisible graphic images, in the Sites. Web beacons and pixel tags may be used by Alliant to count users who have visited its webpages and for related website statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain website content and verifying system and server integrity).

(c) Different Devices

If you use different devices (e.g., your smart phone, laptop, and/or home computer) to access the Sites, we may be provided with and collect device-specific information, including your hardware model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, phone number, location, and mobile network information. We may associate your device identifiers or phone number with your account information.

(d) Third-Party Analytics

We may use third-party service providers (e.g., search engines) to collect and analyze information about use of the Sites. These service providers may utilize cookies and related technologies to collect personal information.

3. Use of Information

We may also provide information or provide access to information to any of our affiliated businesses or to our business partners.

On rare occasions, we may disclose specific information without your consent and without notice to you as required to comply with laws and regulations, or to comply with court orders, subpoenas, or lawful discovery requests. Information collected from you may also be used to investigate security breaches or otherwise cooperate with authorities. We may also share information with companies assisting in fraud protection or investigation.

5. How Your Information is Protected

If applicable, this information would include a list of the categories of personal information that was shared and the names and addresses of all third parties with which the Company shared information in the immediately preceding calendar year.
