Privacy Policy
Introduction
At PayerFusion®, your privacy is pivotal. When you visit www.PayerFusion.com, you count on us to be thorough and serious about protecting your privacy online, in addition to providing you with reliable and quality products and services. To be successful in both aspects, we need to gather certain types of data and information that will help serve you best.
This Privacy Statement applies to all the products and services offered by PayerFusion Holdings, LLC (“PayerFusion”).
What kind of information does www.PayerFusion.com collect?
- We have created the website to collect automatic tracking data. This allows us to see which topics interest you most. Automatic tracking information is gathered by capturing how you reached our website by following a link from another, external website, as well as tracing your movement through PayerFusion.com. The route visitors take informs the team about who visits our website. But no personally identifiable information is gathered because of the aforesaid. We use aggregate numbers to collect stats, track the website usage and its trends. Additionally, we use the date to ascertain compatibility between systems and technologies. We can then customize results and find the products and services best suited to your needs.
- Individualized information is not currently collected on the website, but we do capture on an individual basis first, where you navigated to us from, to then aggregate this data to evaluate marketing efficiency.
- We only collect personal information when you voluntarily submit it to us.
- When you apply for a quote, we, as any other quote engine, will require personal information to supply you with the correct prices and information. This might include your name, address, e-mail, phone number, gender, and birth date. When you submit an online insurance application for an insurance product we offer, we may request sensitive information such as details of your health relating to you or your dependents. We may also ask for other information about you, such as your credit card information (when you are making a purchase).
