Website (“Site”) Privacy Policy

Introduction

Your privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance to us. At Service Contract Industry Council, we want to make your experience online satisfying and safe. Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel you should fully understand our policy and the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. The information you provide is safeguarded. This Privacy Policy discloses what information we gather and how we use it. It applies to information we collect on this Site, including through electronic messages between you and the Site (for example, when you submit a message using our “Contact” form). It does not apply to information collected by us offline or through other means, or to information collected by third parties, including through any application or content that may link to or be accessible from this Site.

This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which Service Contract Industry Council collects, uses, maintains and discloses information collected from users (each, a “User”) of the Site.

How We Respond to “Do Not Track” Signals

“Do Not Track” (“DNT”) refers to a privacy preference option used by Internet web browsers to request a web application disable its tracking or its cross-site tracking. When enabled, the browser sends a message to websites requesting them not to track the user. California law requires us to disclose how we respond to web browser DNT signals. At this time, there currently is not an industry or legal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, thus our Site does not respond to DNT signals. We will await the result of work by the privacy community and the industry to determine when such a response is appropriate and what form should it take. For more information concerning what personal information we track and what information may be shared with third parties, continue reading below.
