V. Online and Electronic Information Privacy Policy

For each visitor to our website, our web server automatically recognizes only the visitor’s domain name and IP address, but not the e-mail address (where possible). The domain name and IP address reveal nothing personal about you other than the IP address and the domain name from which you have accessed our website. We may also track certain information about the use of our website, such as the source address of a page request and the date and time of the page request. We use this data to better understand use of our website and user preferences. This information is stored in log files and is used for aggregated and statistical reporting. We do not share, rent or sell our subscriber lists to any other organization for any reason. If you wish to review, edit, or want us to permanently delete your information, please contact us.

BRAVEPORT uses “popups” solely for the purpose of its top level navigation bars in order to invoke drop down menu selection to sub pages. In addition, we will occasionally use a “cookie”. A cookie is a small file that a website stores on your computer. We use cookies for a number of administrative purposes; for example, to gather data about the usage of our website, to store your preferences for certain kinds of information, or to store a password so that you do not have to input it every time you visit our site. Our use of cookies does not require that they contain personally identifiable information about you. It simply allows the web server to recognize you during your next visit to our site. You can decide if and how your computer will accept a cookie by configuring your preferences or options in your browser. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. However, if you choose to reject cookies, you may not be able to use certain features within our website.

If you submit a request for instant estimate or a form through our website, we may keep the information you send in an electronic database. We use security measures to protect against the loss, misuse, and the alteration of data used in our systems. If you are applying for a quote, we may need to know your name, e-mail address, mailing address and other personal, health related and financial information. This allows us to evaluate your current situation and present you with the product or service. BRAVEPORT is the owner of the information which is collected on our website. We will not sell, disseminate, disclose, trade, transmit, transfer, share, lease or rent any personally identifiable information to any third party not authorized by you to receive your information except as we have disclosed to you in this Privacy Policy.

We may also request your e-mail address or mailing address for the purposes of conducting a survey or to provide additional services (for example, subscriptions to e-mail newsletters, announcement lists or information about seminars). Whenever we request the identity of a visitor, we will clearly indicate the purpose of the inquiry before the information is requested. Unless explicitly stated, e-mail is not secure. We recommend that you do not send any confidential information through e-mail. If you send e-mail to us, we may retain the contents of your e-mail message, your e-mail address, and our response.

BRAVEPORT’s website may contain links to third party website that are not controlled by BRAVEPORT. These third party links are made available to you as a convenience and you agree to use these links at your own risk. Please be aware that BRAVEPORT is not responsible for the content of third party website nor are we responsible for the privacy policy or practices of third party website linked to BRAVEPORT. We do not share any of the individual personal information you provide to BRAVEPORT with the websites to which BRAVEPORT links, although BRAVEPORT may share aggregate data with such website (such as how many people use our website). Our Privacy Policy only applies to information we collect from you while you are at and while you are actively in a session with BRAVEPORT. If you should link to a third party website from BRAVEPORT, we strongly encourage you to review and become familiar with that website’s privacy policy. Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online – for example through e-mail, discussion lists, or elsewhere – that information can be collected and used by others. If you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. Ultimately, you are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your personal information.

BRAVEPORT also maintains a strict “No-Spam” policy. We do not intend to sell, rent, or otherwise give your e-mail address to a third-party, without your consent. In addition, BRAVEPORT will not send you email that you have not agreed to receive. We may from time to time send e-mail announcing new BRAVEPORT products and services.

As an added benefit to the visitors of BRAVEPORT’s website, we send e-mail announcements to individuals who request to receive them. When you sign up for a BRAVEPORT e-mail newsletter, you are given the opportunity to also receive announcement lists from third parties. If you choose to receive a specific announcement list, you will receive commercial messages that are related to the topic of the list from independent third-parties that have contracted with BRAVEPORT to send messages. Contact us to be removed from the list. Personally identifiable information will not be used by BRAVEPORT for any purposes other than to deliver the newsletters. You may stop the arrival of these announcement lists at any time by removing your e-mail address from the list by forwarding the announcement list, or by following the instructions on the e-mails you receive.

VI. Instant Estimate Requests and the Life Settlement Calculator

If you submit a request for an instant estimate using our life settlement calculator tool, we will collect information from you to assist BRAVEPORT in the evaluation and qualification for a possible life/viatical settlement. The results of this instant estimate are not intended to represent a bid or offer to purchase a life insurance policy. Use of our life settlement calculator does not guarantee that any life/viatical settlement provider will purchase or offer to purchase a policy. By using the life settlement calculator, you authorize BRAVEPORT to collect, analyze, review and maintain your information in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Further, by using our life settlement calculator tool, you authorize BRAVEPORT to contact you by telephone and/or email.

The life settlement calculator tool is for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon by a policy owner or insured to determine whether to sell, hold, lapse or surrender a life insurance policy. BRAVEPORT shall not be liable, and you agree to hold BRAVEPORT harmless, from any action, inaction or decision made by you relating to your use of the information or results from the life settlement calculator.

VII. Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy without providing you with advance notice of our intent to make the changes.
