What Data Do We Obtain?
We monitor our site visitors' usage of the web site to better determine how to organize the web site and which pages and forums visitors are viewing and utilizing.
The site statistics collected may include:
the name of the domain and host from which you access the Internet (example:
AOL.com)
the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the computer or network you are using
the browser you're using (example: Netscape or Internet Explorer)
your operating system (example: Windows or MAC) the date and time you visited DirectQuote.org and the pages you viewed
the address of the web site you came from prior to visiting DirectQuote.org
An IP address is a set of numbers automatically assigned to your computer or network whenever you access the Internet. The web servers that host DirectQuote.org automatically identify your computer or network by the IP address assigned to it. We do not ordinarily associate an individual's IP address to his/her personal information. We will have a record of your visit to our site, but your identity generally remains anonymous to us. We match IP addresses to the identify of users of our site when we feel it necessary in order to protect our site and/or other users.
If you fill out and submit a web site form or e-mail us, we may store the information stated on the form or within your e-mail. Forms are located on a secure server, therefore information submitted by you cannot be read at the time of submission. For your convenience, form data and e-mail correspondence are not sent to DirectQuote.org via encrypted technology (PGP, etc.), so contents may be read by others during transmission. Use your discretion when submitting private information, as you would with typical e-mail correspondence.
"Cookies"
Cookies are data stored, upon initiation of scripts run by the web sites you visit, on your computer's hard drive. DirectQuote.org affiliates may use cookies for your convenience when making purchases at the affiliates' websites.
Does DirectQuote.org Share, Sell, or Disclose the Information It Collects?
DirectQuote.org does not share site visitors' information with third parties other than the host of the web site, as outlined above.
Links to Other Web Sites
We provide links to web sites we feel present relevant, novel, helpful information. Despite our review, web sites and their content are constantly changing. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for content on other web sites. If you have questions about information at another web site, look for the site's privacy statement. The DirectQuote.org pages have a consistent "look". If you see a different look to the pages, you're probably no longer at the DirectQuote.org web site.
Children/Family Privacy
We are concerned about protecting the safety of children using the Internet. Our site complies with the terms of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. For more information, see our Site Compliance page.
Third-Party Relationships
