| SAS, Inc. Internet Privacy Policy
At SAS Insurance Development, we understand that privacy is an important issue
for visitors to the SAS, Inc. group of Web sites. The following information is
designed to help visitors understand what information we gather from our site,
and how we handle the information once we gather it.
Personal Information Collected on this Web Site
SASid collects personal information that site visitors provide when they
complete any online form, application, survey, or when they request a quote for
insurance.
Information provided in a request for service or information is forwarded to the
SASid affiliate or business that will respond to the request. Requests for
information or service relating to buying or selling a home are forwarded to
the independently owned and operated SASid real estate franchisee able to
respond to the request, along with the information provided by the site
visitor.
Any information a site visitor submits to obtain an insurance quotation will be
provided to a SASid agent if the visitor uses the online application to request
an appointment with an agent. The agent may be a SASid employee or a
non-employee agent. Site visitors who don't want quote information provided to
agents this way can avoid it by using our Office Locator tool to contact agents
directly.
SASid may contact visitors who have submitted a request for additional
information about the request.
SASid may use information submitted in one of our online forms to ask site
visitors to complete a voluntary customer satisfaction survey. In order to
understand consumer preferences, SASid may combine survey response information
with information about customers who recently purchased products.
SASid does not rent or sell visitors' personal information to non-SASid
companies.
Site Visitors Data Collected on this Site
SASid uses aggregated site visitors data to improve the content and services
offered to its site visitors. SASid reports site visitors data on an aggregate,
anonymous basis, which means no personal information is associated with it.
This data can include:
-
how many people visit our site;
-
the pages they visit;
-
how long they stay on our site; and
-
the domain name of the site visitors are connecting from (aol.com for example).
SASid's Use of Cookies
"Cookies" are small text files that a Web site transfers to a site visitor's
hard disk or browser for added functionality, or for tracking Web site usage.
We do not use cookies to gather personal information like a person's name or
e-mail address. In order to measure the effectiveness of our online presence,
SASid uses cookies to identify repeat visitors to our Web site, to determine
the path visitors take on our site, and to identify visitors who came to SASid
as the result of a banner ad on a third party Web site. Any information
gathered by the use of cookies is compiled on an aggregate, anonymous basis.
Security
When visitors submit information in one of our online forms, SASid uses SSL
(Secure Socket Layer) encryption technology to protect the information they
submit. This technology protects visitors from having their information
intercepted by anyone other than SASid while it is being transmitted.
SASid works hard to ensure that our systems are secure and that they meet
industry standards. Where appropriate, we employ firewalls, encryption
technology, user authentication systems (e.g., passwords and personal
identification numbers) and access control mechanisms to control access to
systems and data.

may "link" to this site. Web sites linking to and from this site may have
different privacy practices from the ones described here for SASid Visitors to
our site should read the privacy statements of other Web sites they visit. This
privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Web
site.

visitors to this site re-visit this privacy policy on occasion to learn of new
privacy practices and changes to our policy.
