We respect your privacy and the privacy of all visitors to the website. This policy explains the ways that we collect and use information provided online. This Internet Privacy Policy applies to Glashoff Maughan Consulting (Pty) Ltd (“GMC”) and other sites and webpages on the Internet owned and operated by GMC. It does not apply to any non-GMC website that you may access via a link on a GMC website or webpage.

How We Collect Information Through GMC Websites and Webpages

We collect two kinds of information about our online visitors through our websites and webpages: non-personal and personal information.

We collect personal information that can identify a visitor, such as name, address or policy information, only when you voluntarily provide it, and we use that information solely for purposes that are clearly identified on ther website and its webpages.

GMC does not seek or knowingly collect personal information from children.

The non-personal information we may collect includes: the visitor’s browser type and operating system details; areas of the GMC website visited; date and time of access; identification of the referring site (any site from which the visitor accessed the GMC site) and so on. We use this information to track the total number of people visiting GMC websites and to guide our efforts to improve the website.

Access to pages with content specific to agents, brokers and customers is password-protected and normally requires registration. Personal information acquired through registration is kept confidential and will not be disclosed to third parties except as may be permitted or required by law. Depending upon your relationship with us, you may receive other privacy notices from us providing additional detail about our privacy practices.

We may offer blogs, online forums or other interactive features on our websites and webpages that enable consumers to share information about our services or other issues of interest. You should be aware that any communications you submit or post to any such interactive features on our websites and webpages may be viewable by other participants or users of our websites and webpages. Therefore, you acknowledge and understand that you have no expectation of privacy or confidentiality in the content you submit for such interactive features, whether or not it contains personal information about you.

How We Use “Cookies” on Our Websites

GMC may place electronic “cookies” in the browser files of your computer when you access the GMC website. Cookies are pieces of information that a GMC website transfers to your computer to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to tailor the information on our websites to your interests. For example, if you previously visited a GMC website and accessed particular information or inquired about particular services over the website, cookies enable us now or in the future to present information tailored to your account and/or those particular interests the next time you visit the website. Moreover, GMC or our third party service providers or business partners may place cookies on your computer’s hard drive that can be matched to other personal information we maintain about you to pre-populate certain online forms for your convenience. We also use cookies to analyse visitors’ use of our websites. This analysis helps us better understand which areas of our sites are most useful and popular so we can plan improvements and updates accordingly.

Many web browsers are automatically set to accept cookies. You may change your computer’s web browser settings to either reject cookies or notify you when a cookie is about to be placed on your computer. Please note, however, that rejecting cookies while visiting any of our websites may result in certain parts of the website not operating as efficiently as if the cookies were allowed.

Security of Internet Communications

The Internet is not a secure medium. We employ administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect personal information but cannot assume any responsibility for any harm, loss or damage you may experience from transmission of information by or to GMC over the Internet.

By using this site, or any of our website or webpages, you signify your consent to this Internet Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this policy, please do not use this site. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to update, change, modify, add or remove portions of this policy from time to time.
