However, this Web site may contain links to other sites and we may engage third party suppliers or service providers, each of which may adhere to their own privacy customs and policies. AmeriLife does not control the content or privacy policies of such Web sites or the privacy policies of such third parties. AmeriLife accepts no responsibility or liability for privacy or other issues related to the collection or use of your information by such other sites or third parties.

Your Personal Information:
When you come to any AmeriLife Web site, we may log your current Internet address (this is usually a temporary address assigned by your Internet service provider when you log in), the type of operating system you are using, and the type of browser software used. In addition, we may keep track of what portions of the Web site you are visiting. We may aggregate this information to help us create a better experience for users of our Web site. For example: we may upgrade those parts of the Web site that are heavily visited or optimize the Web site to work more efficiently with certain operating systems. This is all done without our knowing your name or other personal identifying information. When you visit the AmeriLife Web site you are anonymous, unless you choose to identify yourself to us.
You are not required to provide us with personal information to use our Web site, unless expressly stated. For example, certain features may require you to submit some personal information in order for those features to function as designed. Such information might include, but not be limited to, name, address, E-mail address, and phone number. Certain parts of our Web site may require you to provide identifying information and use individual passwords in order to access personal information.
If you do choose to provide us with personal information, you can be assured that such information is kept in secured databases. AmeriLife treats this information as confidential. AmeriLife will use the information you provide solely to satisfy your requests for information regarding AmeriLife or the products we offer. We do not sell, rent, or exchange any of the personal information collected on our Web site with any unaffiliated entities.
Cookies and Web Bugs:
A cookie is a small piece of information that a Web site sends to your computer, which is stored in a file on your hard drive. The next time you visit our Web site, we may use the information stored in your cookie file to facilitate your use of our Web site. For example, we may use your cookie file to store a password so that you do not have to input it every time you move to a different section of a password protected portion of our Web site. A cookie does not tell us your individual identity unless you have chosen to provide it to us. Most cookies expire after a defined period of time, or you can delete your cookie file at any time you choose. In addition, you can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie so that you can decide whether to accept or reject it.
Privacy:
AmeriLife uses no encryption (data scrambling) on certain portions of our Web site, and up to 128-bit encryption on other portions. When you are on any Web site that asks you for confidential information (your social security number or a bank or credit card account number, for example), you should check to see if the information being transmitted is encrypted in order to increase the security of your information. If you need to send confidential information and are concerned about the security of a Web site, then you should consider sending it by phone or by regular mail instead.
Minors:
AmeriLife makes no active effort to collect personal information from children under the age of 18. We believe that children who do wish to submit information to AmeriLife should have permission from their parent or legal guardian.
Additional Rights:
Applicable laws may give you additional rights that are not described in this online Privacy Policy.
