This Policy applies to these sites and explains how CompareMedicareadvantageplans.org may collect, use and share information about you from our sites. We encourage you to read our Policy before using these sites. By visiting our sites, you are agreeing in advance to the current and future terms of this Policy and we have the right to use your information as described in this Policy. If you do not wish to agree to these terms, you should leave the site.

Framing of our sites on other websites is subject to the terms and policy practices of the framing websites.
The following sections address our sites’ online privacy practices in more detail:
Types of information collected on our sites
There are two types of information collected on our sites: Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information.
Personally Identifiable Information
Personally Identifiable Information (“personal information”) is information that identifies you as an individual, such as your name, mailing address, email address, age range, phone number, etc. Personal information may also include geo-location, phone carrier, or other device information. Personal information may be obtained by us when you voluntarily provide the information to us, through the use of cookies, and when we collect your geo-location, phone carrier, or other device information directly or through our third-party vendor(s).
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
Non-personally identifiable Information (“non-personal information”) is information that does not identify you as an individual, such as your browser type, IP Address, and the URL of the websites you visited before or after our site. CompareMedicareadvantageplans.org may automatically collect certain types of non-personal information from you when you visit our sites. We may also collect non-personal information that you voluntarily provide, such as information included in response to a questionnaire or survey.
Why we collect your information
CompareMedicareadvantageplans.org may use personal information it can collect on our sites for a variety of reasons related to fraud protection, obtaining a better understanding of your needs and interests, and developing and providing you with products, services, and features that better meet your needs or requests.
How we collect information
CompareMedicareadvantageplans.org collects online information when you provide it to us or through the use of technology (an example would be form submissions).
Information Collected Through You
If you choose to use certain services on our sites, we may require you to provide contact and identity information. We indicate which fields must be completed to take advantage of a particular service or feature.
Non-Personal Information Collected Through Technology
Cookies:
Our sites may use cookie technology to improve your experience and gather information for statistical reporting and other purposes.
A cookie is a small piece of information sent by a site that is saved on your electronic device. It holds information a site may need to personalize your experience (i.e., rotating images on our sites’ home pages) and gathers statistical data, such as which pages are visited, what is downloaded, the Internet provider’s domain name and country that our visitors come from and the addresses of sites visited immediately before and after coming to our sites. CompareMedicareadvantageplans.org may also use cookies in conjunction with third-party services to obtain demographic data on visitors to our sites. Examples of information collected include information to enable us to provide products and services that may better suit your needs.
To browse without cookies, you can configure your browser to reject all cookies or to notify you when a cookie is set. Each browser is different, so check the “Help” menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.
IP Address:
Our sites may collect IP addresses for the purposes of systems administration, authentication and security, server problem diagnosis, and compiling aggregate information, such as how many visitors accessed our sites. When you visit a particular page on our sites, our servers may log your IP address. An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer automatically when you use the Internet.
Embedded Pixels:
We may use embedded pixel technologies on selected pages to identify unique user visits to our sites as opposed to aggregate hits. In addition, embedded pixels or other technologies may be used in emails to provide information on when the email was opened to track marketing campaign responsiveness. Information collected using these technologies may be associated with the recipient’s email address.
This site is being monitored by one or more third-party monitoring software(s), and may capture information about your visit that will help us improve the quality of our service.
We may share personal information among CompareMedicareadvantageplans.org and its affiliated companies, including our banking affiliates, and with select third parties as permitted or required by law. For information on who we may share your personal information with once you apply for our products or services, or become our customer, view our Privacy Notices referenced above.
Disclosure of personal information for legal purposes and protection of CompareMedicareadvantageplans.org and others:
We also reserve the right to share your personal information with third parties if we believe such action is necessary to: (a) conform with the requirements of any court order, law, or legal process, including responding to any government or regulatory request; (b) protect or defend our legal rights or property, our sites, or our users; or (c) investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person or violations of the terms and conditions of using our sites.
Children’s privacy
Unless otherwise specified, our sites are not directed toward children. We do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13. If we learn that personal information on a child under the age of 13 is collected, we will delete that information from our systems.
Keeping your information secure
The security of your personal information is very important to us, and we are committed to protecting the information we collect. We have security measures in place that seek to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of information that CompareMedicareadvantageplans.org has collected from you through our sites.
Unfortunately, no information transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100 percent secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, CompareMedicareadvantageplans.org cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on our sites.
