Non-Personal
Identification Information Collection
While
LandAmerica's web servers automatically collect visitor domain
names, they do not involuntarily collect personal identification
information about visitors. The web servers gather information about
the particulars of a visitor's visit through the LandAmerica web
site, such as the web page from which a visitor enters LandAmerica's
site, the pages within LandAmerica's site visited, how long a
visitor is on the site, and other such information that will help
LandAmerica evaluate and improve its site.
Personal
Identification Information Collection
When
visitors voluntarily provide personal identification information to
LandAmerica through the company's web site, such as when ordering
services/products and accessing account specific or other profile
information, LandAmerica limits its use of such information to the
purposes for which the information was provided. However,
LandAmerica reserves the right to use such information for
marketing/product development research and other similar purposes
and/or to contact a visitor regarding additional services/products
such visitor may find useful. Visitors have the right to choose not
to receive this information by notifying LandAmerica of their
preference.
Internal
Disclosure of Information
LandAmerica
employees are permitted access to the information they require to
perform their jobs and service customers. LandAmerica maintains
strict internal policies against the unauthorized disclosure or use
of customer information. LandAmerica has a number of separate
subsidiaries and, subject to federal, state, and local laws,
reserves the right to make information held by one LandAmerica
entity available to other LandAmerica affiliates for authorized
purposes.
Third
Party Disclosure of Information
LandAmerica
does not sell or disclose personal identification information
obtained on-line from visitors through the company web site to
anyone outside of LandAmerica and its affiliated companies unless
(i) specifically authorized by a visitor; (ii) such disclosure is to
a LandAmerica business partner that can provide beneficial services
to LandAmerica customers and such business partner agrees to keep
the information LandAmerica provides confidential; (iii) required by
law or a court or government agency of competent jurisdiction; or
(iv) such disclosure is necessary to protect the safety of
LandAmerica customers, employees, or property.
Co-Sponsors
or Co-Branded Products/Services
If
a visitor provides personal identification information to
LandAmerica through a co-sponsored or co-branded site or feature,
the visitor may also be providing the personal identification
information to the co-sponsor. The visitor will be made aware of
this before the visitor submits the information and the visitor can
decide whether or not to participate. In the event the visitor
submits the personal identification information, LandAmerica shall
not be responsible for the use of such information by the
co-sponsor.
Unsolicited
E-mail
LandAmerica
does not send unsolicited "junk" e-mail (spam). However, the company
does use e-mail to communicate with customers and respond to visitor
inquiries, confirm orders placed online, and send information
requested by visitors through the company's web site. Any visitors
receiving unwanted e-mail from LandAmerica should contact the
company and advise of their desire not to receive future e-mails
and/or request removal from LandAmerica's e-mail list. As soon as
reasonable practicable, LandAmerica will remove such visitor from
the company's e-mail list.
Cookies
LandAmerica's
web sites may use "cookies" to improve the level of service to
visitors. Cookies are lines of text that are transmitted to a web
browser and stored on the visitor's hard drive. When the visitor
returns to the LandAmerica web site the cookie is transmitted back.
Cookies provide a way for a server to recall a previous request or
registration, or to keep track of a transaction as it progresses
thereby eliminating the need to repeat the information previously
provided. A cookie can only be accessed from the web site that
placed it on the visitor's system. The cookies used by LandAmerica
do not collect personal identification information and LandAmerica
does not combine information collected through cookies with other
personal information to determine a visitor's identity or e-mail
address. Cookies are commonly used on web sites today and should not
harm any system upon which they are transmitted. Browsers can be
configured to notify visitors when cookies are about to be received
and provide visitors with the option of refusing cookies.
Future
Privacy Policy Modifications
LandAmerica
is continually trying to improve the services it provides customers
and the experiences of visitors to the company's web site. As such,
LandAmerica may expand its capabilities for obtaining information
about visitors in the future. Thus, LandAmerica reserves the right
to revise its Privacy Principles as required by advances in
technology or other changes in the collection of information through
the internet.
