Understanding Cookies, Web Beacons and Other Tracking Technologies. We, or our service providers, and other companies we work with may deploy and use cookies, web beacons, local shared objects, and other tracking technologies for various purposes, such as fraud prevention and monitoring our advertising and marketing campaign performance. Some of these tracking tools may detect characteristics or settings of the specific device you use to access our online services. “Cookies” are small amounts of data a website can send to a visitor’s web browser. They are often stored on the device you are using to help track your areas of interest. Cookies may also enable us or our service providers and other companies we work with to relate your use of our online services over time to customize your experience. Most web browsers allow you to adjust your browser settings to decline or delete cookies, but doing so may degrade your experience with our online services or will make it impossible for you to use our online services.
We may use GIFs, pixel tags, or web beacons (usually one-pixel, transparent images located on a webpage or in an email) to send you advertisements or to help us recognize users, assess traffic patterns, and measure site or marketing campaign engagement. We may use “Local Shared Objects”, sometimes referred to as “flash cookies”, that may be stored on your hard drive using a media player or other software installed on your device to improve your online experience in a manner similar to cookies in terms of their operation. Flash cookies, however, may not be managed in your browser in the same way.
Online Advertising. You will see advertisements when you use many of our online services. These advertisements may be for our own products or services (including pre-screened offers of credit) or for products and services offered by third parties. The advertisements you see may be determined using the information we or our service providers and other companies that we work with have about you, including information about your relationships with us and how you transact with us. Where permitted by applicable law, we may share with others the information we collect from and about you.
Linking to Third-Party Websites. HMBradley may provide links to websites that are owned or operated by other companies (third-party websites). When you use a link online to visit a third-party website, you will be subject to that website’s privacy and security practices, which may differ from ours. You should familiarize yourself with the privacy policy, terms of use, and security practices of the linked third-party website before providing any information on that website.
Security. We use reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal standards to protect and limit access to personal information. This includes device safeguards and secured files and buildings.
Unencrypted Information You Send Us. You may sometimes send to us information electronically that may not be securely transmitted. We recommend that you encrypt information when you send or communicate sensitive or confidential information, including your Social Security number, date of birth, and account number to us. HMBradley will provide a secure Message Center that is available for your use to send us confidential information when you sign into our website or mobile application.
