This policy does not, however, apply to entities that the Drury Insurance Group does not own or control, such as applications and websites using social media platforms. If you create a Drury Insurance Group account using Facebook or another third party social media service, or if you link your Drury Insurance Group account with any of these third party services, we may share your information with these third party services. This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected by the Website(s). Please read this policy. If you have any questions or suggestions regarding our privacy policy, please contact us. By using the Website(s) you understand and agree that Drury Insurance Group is providing a platform for you to post content, including photos, comments and other materials ("User Submissions") to the Website(s) and to share User Submissions publicly. This means that other users may search for, see, use, or share any of your User Submissions that you make publicly available through the Website(s), consistent with the terms and conditions of this privacy policy and Drury Insurance Group’s Terms of Use, which is incorporated by reference herein. If there is any conflict between this privacy policy and the Drury Insurance Group’s Terms of Use, the Terms of Use will supersede this policy.

Collection and Use of Aggregated Information

Drury Insurance Group creates aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic patterns. These aggregated statistics are used internally to better provide services to users of the Website(s) and may also be provided to advertisers, sponsors, and partners but they contain no individual personal information and cannot be used to gather such information. This allows Drury Insurance Group’s advertisers, partners, and sponsors to advertise more effectively, and allows our users to receive advertisements that are pertinent to their needs.

Ownership of Information

Drury Insurance Group is the sole owner of the information collected on the Website(s) which includes:

  • Your username, password and e-mail address when you register for an account on a Website.

  • User Submissions that you post to the Website(s).

  • Communications between you and Drury Insurance Group. For example, Drury Insurance Group may send you essential emails related to the Website(s) and your account (e.g., account verification, changes/updates to features of the Website(s), technical and security notices).

A device identifier may be data stored in connection with the device hardware, data stored in connection with the device's operating system or other software, or data sent to the device by Drury Insurance Group.
