Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 7, 2018

Investors Heritage Life Insurance Company (“Investors Heritage”, “us”, “we”, or “our”) operates the investorsheritage.com website (the “Service”).

This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and communicate with us by email and the choices you have associated with that data. It pertains only to the Service, and not to collection, use, or disclosure of personal data offline. This Privacy Policy supplements any privacy policy you may receive as a customer and should be read together with such policy.

We use your data to provide and improve the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms and Conditions of Use, accessible from investorsheritage.com.

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and noting the effective date of the modified version of the Privacy Policy above. If we make material changes to how we treat our users’ Personal Data (as defined below), we will let you know via email and/or a prominent notice on our Service, prior to the change becoming effective and update the “effective date” at the top of this Privacy Policy. You are responsible for ensuring we have current active and deliverable email address for you and for visiting the Service and this Privacy Policy periodically to check for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.

By accessing or using the Service or affirmatively indicating agreement, you agree to this Privacy Policy. Your continued use of the Service after we post any modifications to the Privacy Policy constitutes acceptance of those changes. If you do not agree to be bound by the Privacy Policy, your choice is not to use the Service.

We collect several different types of information for various purposes to provide and improve our Service to you.

Some of the information we collect may be Personal Data (as defined below) and some may be about you though it does not identify you individually. We also collect information about your internet connection, the equipment you use to access the Service, and usage details.

We collect this information through automatic data collection technologies as you navigate and interact with the Service.

Even if the information we collect automatically does not include Personal Data, if we maintain it or associate it with Personal Data we collect in other ways or receive from third parties, we treat it all as Personal Data.

Tracking & Cookies Data

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track the activity on our Service and hold certain information.

A cookie is a small data file that we store on your computer to keep track of what happens during your visit and to recognize the computer.   A cookie is not a program and does not contain viruses. Cookies are required to make the website work and they also help us to gain an overview of your use of the website so that we can continually optimize and focus the website to your needs and interests.  Examples of Cookies we use include:

  • Session Cookies. We use Session Cookies to operate our Service. Session cookies expire when you close your browser.
  • Preference Cookies. We use Preference Cookies to remember your preferences and various settings.
  • Security Cookies. We use Security Cookies for security purposes, such as authenticating users.

 

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use certain parts of our Service. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you direct your browser to our website.

We also use beacons, tags, and scripts to collect and track information and to improve and analyze our Service. A web beacon is a graphic image placed on a web site or an email and used to monitor the behavior of the user visiting the website or sending the email.

We may use these technologies to collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or other online services.

 

How We Respond to Do Not Track Signals

We engage in online behavioral advertising. We track your browsing activities when we serve you content so that we can tailor the display of advertisements for our services to you on third party websites. This information may identify a browser, but is not personally identifiable. Please see the section below entitled “Service Providers” to see how third parties may collect information about your activities over time and across websites when you use our Service.

California law requires us to let you know how we respond to web browser Do Not Track (“DNT”) signals. Some web browsers allow you to set a feature that will cause the browser to send a DNT signal to websites you visit to indicate you do not wish to be tracked, but not all websites respond to DNT signals and the standards regarding the DNT signals and appropriate responses are not defined. Investors Heritage responds to DNT signals. If the DNT signal is set before a device visits the Service, the Service will not set cookies unless you log in. If you log in to the Service, you are opting to allow the Service to ignore the DNT setting and use cookies in order to provide you with a personalized experience.
