1. Information About Visitors to the Sedgwick and Cedar website
Sedgwick and Cedar keeps track of the Sedgwick and Cedar website, and pages our visitors view within the Sedgwick and Cedar website, to enable Sedgwick and Cedar to determine what sites and services are the most popular. This data can be used to deliver customized content and advertising to Sedgwick and Cedar’s customers and other visitors to the Sedgwick and Cedar website whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a specific subject area. Sedgwick and Cedar’s service may automatically gather certain usage information like the numbers and frequency of visitors to the Sedgwick and Cedar website and its pages, and Sedgwick and Cedar will only use information gathered in this manner in the aggregate to enable Sedgwick and Cedar to improve and better design the Sedgwick and Cedar website.
To facilitate the above, the Sedgwick and Cedar website may use a technology called “cookies” – small files attached to your Web browser – which tell Sedgwick and Cedar how and when pages in the Sedgwick and Cedar website are visited, and by how many people. Sedgwick and Cedar’s cookies do not collect personally identifiable information and do not combine information collected through cookies with other personally identifiable information, so users remain anonymous. Sedgwick and Cedar may also provide statistical “ratings” information in the aggregate (and never about individual users personally) to Sedgwick and Cedar’s partners about how visitors, collectively, use the Sedgwick and Cedar website.
2. Use of Cookies
Some the Sedgwick and Cedar website may use “cookies” to personalize users’ online experience. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to users’ computers. Cookies are uniquely assigned to individual users, and can only be read by a Web server in the domain that issued such cookies.
Among the primary purposes of cookies is to indicate to Sedgwick and Cedar’s Web server that a particular user has returned to a specific page and enables Sedgwick and Cedar’s Web servers to “remember” such users from prior visits – including any preferences such users may have established during such prior visits. This simplifies the process of recording personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, etc. When a visitor returns to the same Sedgwick and Cedar Web site, the information previously provided can be retrieved, so that such visitor can easily use the Sedgwick and Cedar website’ features previously customized.
Users have the ability and the right to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but users may be able to modify their browser settings to decline cookies or purchase third-party programs that provide such functionality. If a user chooses to decline cookies, such user may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Sedgwick and Cedar website visited.
3. Use of Third Party Advertising
Sedgwick and Cedar sometimes enters contracts to provide space on the Sedgwick and Cedar website to third-parties including advertisers. Sedgwick and Cedar will never reveal users’ Personal Data (as hereinafter defined) or data about a user’s specific visits to the Sedgwick and Cedar website to such third-parties. Sedgwick and Cedar reserves the right to provide information to such third-parties about visitors to the Sedgwick and Cedar website in the aggregate, absent any personally-identifying information.
4. Information About You
Sedgwick and Cedar may request specific information about a user when such user signs up to use a service or orders a product or other information through the Sedgwick and Cedar website.

Such information typically includes, but may not be limited to, name, age, Internet address or screen name, billing address, type of computer, phone number, credit card number, and other information of a personally-identifying and financial nature (collectively “Personal Data”). To the extent permitted by law and notwithstanding anything herein or in either the Terms of Use or Acceptable Use Guidelines to the contrary, Sedgwick and Cedar reserves the right to use such Personal Data to inform users of additional products and services which Sedgwick and Cedar believes they might be interested in learning about. In the event Sedgwick and Cedar exercises this right, users can opt not to receive such information by letting Sedgwick and Cedar know on the registration screen when signing up for the product or service or through such other mechanism as Sedgwick and Cedar shall make available. Sedgwick and Cedar may ask users to identify their interests to enable Sedgwick and Cedar to enrich users’ online experience; users may choose to respond or not. Additionally, Sedgwick and Cedar may offer users an opportunity to be listed in a directory on one of Sedgwick and Cedar-branded services; such listings are also optional and users can edit or delete their listing information at their discretion.
