Electronic Bill Payment and Presentment Website Customer Information Privacy Policy

Police and Firemen’s Insurance Association respects the privacy of our customers and are committed to protecting their information on our Web sites with the same care we utilize for our own transactions.

Our Electronic Bill Payment and Presentment (EBPP) system does not automatically collect personal information from visitors to its Web sites. It is possible that the EBPP system will use tools, such as cookies or click stream auditing, for our own internal uses, such as recommending products and services and gathering Web analytics. Cookies are small pieces of information that a Web site stores on a visitor's Web browser to remind the site about the visitor the next time they visit the site. We will not store confidential or sensitive information in cookies. Police and Firemen’s Insurance Association will use cookies to enhance our customers' online bill payment session by making navigation easier and providing important security features. For certain applications, cookies are a requirement because they help protect the privacy of a customer's transactions by, for example, automatically terminating the online session if the customer forgets to log out.

Cookies cannot be used to capture your e-mail address, obtain data from your hard drive or gain confidential or sensitive information about you. Additionally, cookies cannot be read by a Web site other than the one that set the cookie. Some Web sites, however, use cookies to obtain information from your browser. In order to prevent this, you can set your browser to notify you before accepting a cookie, so that you can control whether you accept or reject a cookie.

Click stream auditing includes information such as a web surfer's IP address, web pages which have been viewed or acted upon by a web surfer, date and time, domain type, and when a web surfer has responded to an advertisement. Police and Firemen’s Insurance Association may occasionally combine this information with individual information on an aggregate level to determine the effectiveness of our advertising.

This version of the Electronic Bill Payment and Presentment Website Customer Information Privacy Policy is effective 02/08/2008.
