Privacy Policy
We are committed to protecting your
privacy. Questions regarding this policy should be directed to
myhomeworks@biico.com.
1.
What information do we collect?
Our relationship with
you will dictate the nature of the information that we need to collect. It will
also dictate our uses of your information.
For example, we collect certain information about our users when they
purchase products or services, request information about us or our products and
services, participate in activities on the site, or otherwise contact us. The
types of information requested may include, but are not necessarily limited to,
your name, email address, telephone number, and details related to your inquiry
or request for technical support. We also collect information about website
traffic.
2.
Where do we collect information from you and how do we use it?
We may use information collected to provide services
and fulfill orders, to enhance the operation of our site, and to administer our
systems. When we use your data we do so in the context of our legitimate
business interests (e.g., measuring the number of visitors to our website); for
entering into or performing a contract (e.g., when you use a service or
product); as a result of your consent (e.g., when you ask us to send you
marketing material); and/or to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations.
When you use a service or product, or place an order with us, we collect
personal information from you. Such information may include, but is not necessarily
limited to, your name, email address, telephone number, and service or product
selections. We collect this information for purposes of providing products or services
to you, communicating with you about our products or services, and/or sending
you materials. Before confirming your request, you will have the opportunity to
review the request form and make changes and additions to the information it
contains. Information may be collected or shared with our third party service
providers (“Contract Service Partners”) so that we may provide such services to
you. We share your information with your insurance provider. Both we and your
insurance provider may use your information for underwriting and other internal
business purposes. Except as set forth in the preceding sentences, we do not
sell, trade, or rent your personal information to others and will not disclose
it to third parties except as set forth herein or as may be required by law.
All data will be disclosed to third parties as required by law or regulation
and may be deemed discoverable by third parties. We may also provide certain
information to insurance regulators upon proper request.
3.
How do we protect your information?
When
you enter your information or place a request, you are connected to a secure
server. All of the data we collect is protected against unauthorized access by
physical, electronic and organizational security means.
4.
