We at ClaimsClick.com want you to feel comfortable utilizing our site.
We realize the importance of feeling
safe online and are fully committed to ensuring that your
privacy is respected and protected. ClaimsClick.com has created this privacy statement in order
to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy.
Our Privacy Policy below
outlines the type of information we typically request for you to
gain resource access, as well as ways in
which we gather, process and, sometimes, disseminate information
collected from you. You are, of course, free to use the majority
of our site without providing any personal information. The
ClaimsClick.com website is defined as an all English-language, United
States based website, with web pages and channels owned, controlled
and/or operated by Vertical Claims, Inc.
Collecting User Information
ClaimsClick.com requires users and email newsletter subscribers to provide
information to create a profile. Profile information includes, but is
not limited to, your name, email address, phone numbers, employer's name and job
title. We use this information to send the user our email newsletter, information
about our company, promotional material on behalf of our partners and advertisers, to
notify the winners of sweepstakes or contests, and to contact
the visitor when necessary. We also use this data to tailor the
visitor's experience at our site. Users/subscribers may opt-out of receiving
future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below.
The personally identifiable
information you provide can be modified for any reason. See the
correct/update/review section below.
Sharing User Information
This information is shared with advertisers on an aggregate basis
only (for example, 49% of our email newsletter subscribers are
female). ClaimsClick.com does not sell or otherwise share
personally identifiable information with third parties without
your consent except in the following instances: (i) unless
required by applicable law or pursuant to a court or similar
order; (ii) as deemed necessary, in our discretion, to protect
the legal rights or the property of ClaimsClick.com, Vertical
Claims, Inc., a member, subscriber or third party, or to prevent
personal injury; and/or (iii) in the event ClaimClick.com is
required to transfer personally identifiable information to a
third party in the event of a sale, merger, assignment, joint
venture or other transfer or disposition of a portion or all of
the assets or stock of ClaimsClick.com, Vertical Claims, Inc. or
affiliated entities.
Newsletters
ClaimsClick.com offers free electronic newsletters
covering a variety of claims-specific
topics. If you choose to subscribe to any of these
newsletters, you may
be required to provide certain personally identifiable
information. In order to receive a free subscription to these newsletters you must
opt-in to receiving them. ClaimsClick.com does not share mailing
lists from its electronic newsletters with third parties.
ClaimsClick.com may, however, provide third parties with a list of
ClaimsClick.com members, subscribers and visitors who have opted-in to receiving
additional information from third parties. Users/subscribers may opt-out of receiving
future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below.
In those instances where you opt-in to subscribe to a
newsletter through a third-party email service or advertiser
or partner, the email address information sometimes will be
located on the third party's server, in which case we
generally will notify you. In those cases, any information
you provide is subject to that entity's Privacy Policy, not
this one. Some of our partners' and advertisers' sites
require that you specifically opt-out from receiving their
newsletters. As a result, to stop receiving them you will
need to affirmatively opt-out from the third party
newsletter.
Community Areas
There are areas within ClaimsClick.com in which you may wish
to provide contact information (such as your phone number or
e-mail address) for purposes of allowing others to contact you.
Some, but not all, of these areas include Claims Talk discussion
forums and Ask the Experts area. Once you make any information public on the web site, we
no longer have any control over the information and anyone could
e-mail you, call you, or view the information that you have made
public. Please see our Terms of Use for additional
provisions that govern your use of this site.
Prospect Information
ClaimsClick.com encourages
referrals and recommendations and collects prospect information from our users.
Users may enter another person's information, such as their
friend's email address, in order to send them content from our
site. The prospect's information is only used for the purpose
for which it was submitted. This prospect information will never
be shared with third party advertisers without prior consent. We will never sell nor
release the prospect information to anyone without prior
consent, except as outlined above in the user information
section. Prospects may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see
the choice/opt-out section below.
