At SAS, Inc., we understand that privacy is an important issue for visitors to the SAS, Inc. group of Web sites. The following information is designed to help visitors understand what information we gather from our site, and how we handle the information once we gather it.

Personal Information Collected on this Web Site
SAS collects personal information that site visitors provide when they complete any online form, application, survey, or when they request a quote for insurance.

Information provided in a request for service or information is forwarded to the SAS, Inc. affiliate or business that will respond to the request. Requests for information or service relating to buying or selling a home are forwarded to the independently owned and operated SAS, Inc. real estate franchisee able to respond to the request, along with the information provided by the site visitor.

Any information a site visitor submits to obtain an insurance quotation will be provided to a SAS, Inc. agent if the visitor uses the online application to request an appointment with an agent. The agent may be a SAS, Inc. employee or a non-employee agent. Site visitors who don't want quote information provided to agents this way can avoid it by using our Office Locator tool to contact agents directly.

SAS may contact visitors who have submitted a request for additional information about the request.

SAS may use information submitted in one of our online forms to ask site visitors to complete a voluntary customer satisfaction survey. In order to understand consumer preferences, SAS, Inc. may combine survey response information with information about customers who recently purchased products.

SAS does not rent or sell visitors' personal information to non-SAS companies.

Site Visitors Data Collected on this Site
SAS uses aggregated site visitors data to improve the content and services offered to its site visitors. SAS, Inc. reports site visitors data on an aggregate, anonymous basis, which means no personal information is associated with it. This data can include:

• how many people visit our site;
• the pages they visit;
• how long they stay on our site; and
• the domain name of the site visitors are connecting from (aol.com for example).

SAS's Use of Cookies
"Cookies" are small text files that a Web site transfers to a site visitor's hard disk or browser for added functionality, or for tracking Web site usage. We do not use cookies to gather personal information like a person's name or e-mail address. In order to measure the effectiveness of our online presence, SAS, Inc. uses cookies to identify repeat visitors to our Web site, to determine the path visitors take on our site, and to identify visitors who came to SAS, Inc. as the result of a banner ad on a third party Web site. Any information gathered by the use of cookies is compiled on an aggregate, anonymous basis.

Security
When visitors submit information in one of our online forms, SAS, Inc. uses SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption technology to protect the information they submit. This technology protects visitors from having their information intercepted by anyone other than SAS, Inc. while it is being transmitted.

SAS works hard to ensure that our systems are secure and that they meet industry standards. Where appropriate, we employ firewalls, encryption technology, user authentication systems (e.g., passwords and personal identification numbers) and access control mechanisms to control access to systems and data.
