Summary:
We strive to protect the safety and security of all data in our possession, including Personal Data, through a variety of means, and We continually work to improve and update these practices. However, We cannot and do not guarantee the security of Personal Data We process. As noted elsewhere in this Policy, Personal Data may be transferred to jurisdictions with less strict privacy and related regulations than those in your home country, including the U.S., but We employ technical and other measures that comply with EU regulations to protect Personal Data belonging to EU residents when processed in the U.S.
We use physical, technical and administrative measures to safeguard Personal Data. While We strive to protect your Personal Data, no method of data transmission or storage is totally secure; therefore, We cannot guarantee the security of Personal Data in Our control. If you believe that any of your Personal Data may have been compromised by Us or the use of the Services, please contact Us immediately at PrivacyPolicy@ProAssurance.com.
Your information, including Personal Data that We collect from you, may be transferred to, stored at and processed by Us, our Affiliates and service providers outside your home country, including in the United States, where data protection and privacy regulations may not offer the same protections as in other parts of the world. When We do so, We will take the steps described in this Policy, which are designed to ensure that all Personal Data We or our vendors process (regardless of where it originates) is handled as required by the EU. By using the Services, you agree to the transfer, storing or processing of your data in accordance with this Policy.
You have choices regarding the personal information you provide to Us and there are mechanisms to provide you with the following control over your information:
We do not control third parties' collection or use of your information to serve interest-based advertising. However these third parties may provide you with ways to choose not to have your information collected or used in this way. You can opt out of receiving targeted ads from members of the Network Advertising Initiative ("NAI") on the NAI's website.
You can review and change your personal information by logging into the Website and visiting your account profile page.
You may also send Us an email at PrivacyPolicy@ProAssurance.com to request access to, correct or delete any personal information that you have provided to Us. We cannot delete your personal information except by also deleting your user account. We may not accommodate a request to change information if We believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement, cause the information to be incorrect or if We need to maintain the information for a legitimate business purpose.
