September 25, 2006: Use of Information You Give Us
Farmers may collect your name, address, phone number, e-mail address and other recruitment related information at this site. We will use this information to provide you information you request, to refer you to a Farmers district manager, agent, human resources department, to refer you to a third party service provider or to comply with a legal requirement. When you encounter a screen in this site that asks for information you do not want us to have or use, you should not proceed further with that screen.
We have agreements with third parties that allow you to go to their web site from our web site. If you go to these sites from our site, you may be asked to give non-public personal information for access to their services or products. You may become a part of that business' customer base and be subject to their policies regarding the handling of customer data.
Please be aware that Farmers is not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, even though Farmers' name or logo may appear on those sites. We encourage you to be aware of this when you leave our site and to read the Privacy Statements of each and every Web site that you visit, as the privacy policy of those sites may differ from ours. Our privacy statement applies solely to the Farmers site (farmers.com).
We handle your information securely. We restrict access to nonpublic personal information about you only to those employees who need to know that information to provide services to you or to provide necessary technical support. We require our employees and field agency force to adhere to high standards of ethics and integrity in performing their jobs and conducting business. We also require the same standards of confidentiality from the service vendors that assist us.
In addition to the information you provide us, we collect information about your activities while you are at our site. While you are logged in our site, we log IP addresses (a number assigned to your computer when you use the Internet), browser and platform types, domain names, access times, referral data (the last site or URL you visited before logging into our site and the first site or URL you visit after leaving our site), and your activity while using or reviewing our site. We obtain the information by using cookies.
A cookie is a message sent to your browser from a Web server that is stored on your computer's hard drive. The message is sent back to the Web server whenever the browser requests a page from that server. Many commercial Internet sites use cookies. While a code in the cookie file enables the site to label you as a particular user, it does not identify you by name or address unless you have provided the site with such information or set up preferences in your browser to do so automatically. You may opt out of accepting cookies by changing the settings on your browser. However, rejecting cookies may prevent you from using certain functions and you may have to repeatedly enter information to take advantage of services or promotions. In general, cookies allow us to identify you as a particular user and thus provide you with a more customized service. We may also use cookies to track customer or user requests, inquiries and traffic patterns or to determine audience size and repeated usage.
We reserve the right, at any time, to change or modify our policies on the use of information you provide us. We, therefore, recommend you review this policy statement each time you may be asked to give us personal information after accessing this site.
We also recommend you read the section called Legal Terms. The Legal Terms section describes the terms and conditions for use of our web site, discusses the content in this site, and information about your responsibilities when using this site.
