Last Updated: December 23, 2020

Welcome!

Welcome! AP Intego Insurance Group, LLC (“AP Intego,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides small and medium sized businesses with a simplified process to acquire and use business insurance. When we refer to ourselves as “AP Intego,” “we,” “us,” or “our”, we mean our entire company, including any company that we own or control or any company owned or controlled by our parent corporation.

We wrote this privacy policy to help you understand what information we collect from and about you, how we use this information and the choices you have regarding such use, and other important information regarding our privacy practices. If you have any questions or comments about this privacy policy or the ways in which AP Intego uses the information we collect from and about you, please do not hesitate to contact us using the information provided in the Contact Us section at the bottom of this privacy policy.

Scope and Application

This privacy policy applies to information collected through our website and other online products and services that display or link to this privacy policy (“online services”), information collected through our call centers and offline (e.g., information you submit via the mail), and information obtained from third parties.

Collection of Information

We collect and combine information about you and the devices you use to access our online services for the purposes described in this privacy policy. This includes information you provide to us, information collected through your use of our online services and information obtained from our partners and other reliable sources.

Information We Collect through Your Use of our Online Services

We use cookies and similar technologies on our online services, electronic communications and advertisements that automatically receive and track certain data about how you and other visitors interact with our online services, preferences expressed and settings chosen. For example, we may collect information about your device (such as your device and browser type, operating system, IP address, mobile network carrier, and device and advertising identifiers) and your use of our online services (such as access dates and times, online features or pages viewed, system activity and the third-party site or service you were using before interacting with our online services). In some cases we do this through the use of cookies, pixel tags, SDKs and similar technologies that create and maintain unique identifiers. To learn more about these technologies and our use of them, please see our Statement on Cookies and Similar Technologies below.

Important Information about Mobile Platform Permissions

When you use our mobile app, we may request access to certain types of data stored on your device that apps cannot access without your consent (e.g., calendar and contacts data).  The permission system for obtaining your consent depends on the mobile platform (iOS, Android, etc.) you are using. If you give us permission to access this platform data, we will collect it from your device and use it for the purposes described in this privacy policy.

Information We Collect from Other Sources

We may also receive information from other sources and combine it with information we collect through from you. For example, we may get information from other companies or third parties, such as when you sync a third party account or service with our online services, or when we may use service providers to supplement the Personal Information you give us (e.g., validate your mailing address) to help us maintain the accuracy of your data, and provide you with better service. We may also obtain information about you from commercially available sources such as data aggregators and public databases. This information may include your name, demographic information, interests and publicly-observed data (such as from social media and shopping behavior), credit information, and information about your business.

In addition to the purposes identified above, any information we collect may also be used for analytics purposes (e.g., evaluating website usage patterns and advertisement interactions) so that we can gauge the effectiveness of our programs and advertisements, and improve the usefulness of information presented to visitors.

Analytics and Advertising Services Provided by Others

We may allow others to provide audience measurement and analytics services for us, to serve advertisements on our behalf on our online services and across the internet, and to track and report on the performance of those advertisements. These entities may use cookies, pixel tags, SDKs, and other technologies to identify your device when you use our online services and interact with our electronic communications and ads, as well as when you visit other online sites and services. Data collected and maintained by such third-party ad providers will be subject to the terms of use and privacy policies of those providers. For more information about these technologies and service providers, please see our Statement on Cookies and Similar Technologies below.

We and our approved partners use cookies and similar technologies on our online services, electronic communications and advertisements that automatically receive and track certain data about your device and interaction with our online services, communications and advertisements. You can read more here about the types of cookies and similar technologies we use, why we use them, and how you can exercise your choices.

Overview of Cookies and Similar Technologies

“Cookies” are small text files that are stored on your browser or device by websites, apps, online media and advertisements. There are different types of cookies. Cookies served by the entity that operates the website or app you are visiting or using are called “first party cookies” (so cookies served by AP Intego while you are using our online services are first party cookies). Cookies served by companies that are not operating the website or app you are visiting or using are called “third party cookies” (so, we may allow an analytics partner to set a cookie on your computer via our online services while you visit our online services, and that would be a third party cookie). Cookies may also endure for different periods of time. “Session cookies” only last only as long as your browser or app is open. These are deleted automatically once you close your browser or app. Other cookies are “persistent cookies” meaning that they survive after your browser or app is closed (for example, they may recognize your computer when you re-open our online services).

“Pixel tags” (also called web beacons, clear GIFs or action tags) are small blocks of code installed on (or called by) a web page, app or advertisement which can retrieve certain information about your device and browser, including device type, operating system, browser type and version, website visited, time of visit, referring website, IP address, and other similar information (including the small text file (the cookie) that uniquely identifies the device). Pixel tags can also be used to monitor the way in which visitors interact with websites, electronic communications and the content thereon/in. Pixels also provide the means by which third-party partners set and read browser cookies from a domain that they do not themselves operate and collect information about visitors to that domain, typically with the permission of the domain owner. “Software Development Kits” (also called SDKs) function like pixels and cookies, but operate in the mobile app context where pixels and cookies cannot always function. The primary app developer can install pieces of code (the SDK) from partners in the app, and thereby allow the partner to collect certain information about user interaction with the app and information about the user device and network information.

“Local storage” refers generally to other places on a browser or device where information can be stored by websites, ads, or third parties (such as HTML5 local storage and browser cache).

“Log file information” (also called “server logs”) refers to information that is automatically reported by your browser each time you access a website, including your web request, IP address, browser type, referring/exit pages and URLs, number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed, language and other such information.

In this privacy policy, these and similar technologies are collectively referred to as “cookies and similar technologies”.
