We will not share information about your creditworthiness within our corporate family except with your authorization or consent, but we may share information about our transactions or experiences with you within our corporate family without your consent.

For example, we may share information, to service your accounts, or to provide rewards or benefits you are entitled to. We will limit sharing among our companies to the extent required by California law. We collect personally identifiable information from online customers when those customers choose to enter their personal information while using Strategas’s web sites and/or online services (including mobile applications). This information includes, but is not limited to, customer names, e-mail and mailing addresses, phone numbers, and social security numbers. Strategas does not collect personally identifiable information from general online site visitors unless those consumers unilaterally opt to provide personally identifiable information to Strategas. Strategas also does not share personally identifiable information with third-party persons or entities unless authorized by the customer. If Strategas’s online customers wish to change the contents of the personally identifiable information previously supplied to Strategas, those customers may do so by contacting their local Strategas entity branch office and requesting the change. Alternatively, some web sites and online services offered by Strategas permit customers to change the contents of their personally identifiable information online. As stated above, Strategas does not collect personally identifiable information about individual consumers unless those consumers choose to provide such information. We are aware that some internet browsers have incorporated Do Not Track (“DNT”) features. Most of these features, when turned on, send a signal or preference to the web sites you visit indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. Because Strategas does not collect personally identifiable information unless the online customer voluntarily submits it, and because of a lack of industry standard, Strategas does not currently respond to DNT signals, whether on its web sites or other online services. Strategas does not allow other parties to collect personally identifiable information about its online customers’ individual online activities over time or across different web sites. Strategas cannot, however, guarantee protection from web-based criminal conduct that could result in the collection of an online customer’s personally identifiable information by an outside party For MA Insurance Customers only.

Where we use third parties to provide data hosting solutions, these transfers comply with relevant equivalent programs, such as the EU-US Privacy Shield (frameworks developed to enable organizations to comply with data protection requirements when transferring personal data from the European Union to third countries). When we transfer your personal data to any Strategas affiliates based outside the EU or any country considered “adequate” by the European Commission, we rely on an intra-group transfer agreement that incorporates EU Standard Contractual Clauses designed to protect your personal data. You may obtain information and a copy of the relevant mechanism relied on for the transfer of your personal data by contacting us via the details set out in the “Contact us” section below. You may also find a copy of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and related information at the Europa website (https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu/model-contracts-transfer-personal-data-third-countries_en) Retention period: Strategas will only hold your personal data for as long as required to undertake the purposes of our processing, plus a prescribed period of time as required by laws in your jurisdiction.
