Non-Personal Identification Information Collection
While LandAmerica's web servers automatically collect visitor domain
names, they do not involuntarily collect personal identification
information about visitors. The web servers gather information
about the particulars of a visitor's visit through the LandAmerica
web site, such as the web page from which a visitor enters LandAmerica's
site, the pages within LandAmerica's site visited, how long a visitor
is on the site, and other such information that will help LandAmerica
evaluate and improve its site.
Personal Identification Information Collection
When visitors voluntarily provide personal identification information
to LandAmerica through the company's web site, such as when ordering
services/products and accessing account specific or other profile
information, LandAmerica limits its use of such information to
the purposes for which the information was provided. However, LandAmerica
reserves the right to use such information for marketing/product
development research and other similar purposes and/or to contact
a visitor regarding additional services/products such visitor may
find useful. Visitors have the right to choose not to receive this
information by notifying LandAmerica of their preference.
Internal Disclosure of Information
LandAmerica employees are permitted access to the information they
require to perform their jobs and service customers. LandAmerica
maintains strict internal policies against the unauthorized disclosure
or use of customer information. LandAmerica has a number of separate
subsidiaries and, subject to federal, state, and local laws, reserves
the right to make information held by one LandAmerica entity available
to other LandAmerica affiliates for authorized purposes.
Third Party Disclosure of Information
LandAmerica does not sell or disclose personal identification information
obtained on-line from visitors through the company web site to
anyone outside of LandAmerica and its affiliated companies unless
(i) specifically authorized by a visitor; (ii) such disclosure
is to a LandAmerica business partner that can provide beneficial
services to LandAmerica customers and such business partner agrees
to keep the information LandAmerica provides confidential; (iii)
required by law or a court or government agency of competent jurisdiction;
or (iv) such disclosure is necessary to protect the safety of LandAmerica
customers, employees, or property.
Co-Sponsors or Co-Branded Products/Services
If a visitor provides personal identification information to LandAmerica
through a co-sponsored or co-branded site or feature, the visitor
may also be providing the personal identification information to
the co-sponsor. The visitor will be made aware of this before the
visitor submits the information and the visitor can decide whether
or not to participate. In the event the visitor submits the personal
identification information, LandAmerica shall not be responsible
for the use of such information by the co-sponsor.
Unsolicited E-mail
LandAmerica does not send unsolicited "junk" e-mail (spam).
However, the company does use e-mail to communicate with customers
and respond to visitor inquiries, confirm orders placed online,
and send information requested by visitors through the company's
web site. Any visitors receiving unwanted e-mail from LandAmerica
should contact the company and advise of their desire not to receive
future e-mails and/or request removal from LandAmerica's e-mail
list. As soon as reasonable practicable, LandAmerica will remove
such visitor from the company's e-mail list.
Cookies
LandAmerica's web sites may use "cookies" to improve
the level of service to visitors. Cookies are lines of text that
are transmitted to a web browser and stored on the visitor's hard
drive. When the visitor returns to the LandAmerica web site the
cookie is transmitted back. Cookies provide a way for a server
to recall a previous request or registration, or to keep track
of a transaction as it progresses thereby eliminating the need
to repeat the information previously provided. A cookie can only
be accessed from the web site that placed it on the visitor's system.
The cookies used by LandAmerica do not collect personal identification
information and LandAmerica does not combine information collected
through cookies with other personal information to determine a
visitor's identity or e-mail address. Cookies are commonly used
on web sites today and should not harm any system upon which they
are transmitted. Browsers can be configured to notify visitors
when cookies are about to be received and provide visitors with
the option of refusing cookies.
Future Privacy Policy Modifications
LandAmerica is continually trying to improve the services it provides
customers and the experiences of visitors to the company's web
site. As such, LandAmerica may expand its capabilities for obtaining
information about visitors in the future. Thus, LandAmerica reserves
the right to revise its Privacy Principles as required by advances
in technology or other changes in the collection of information
through the internet.
LandAmerica Subsidiaries
LandAmerica currently operates several major title insurance and
underwriting groups that serve as the primary delivery channel
for title, closing, and escrow services for residential and commercial
transactions. We also maintain a number of regional subsidiaries
and business divisions that address the needs of specific markets.
