Tracking technologies

ABC and our partners, affiliates, analytics, and service providers use technologies such as cookies, beacons, tags, and scripts. These technologies are used in analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users' movements around the site, and gathering demographic information about our user base. As a result, we may receive reports based on the use of these technologies by these companies on an individual and aggregated basis.

Users can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level. If you reject cookies, you may still use our site, but your ability to use some features or areas of our site may be limited.

Like most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and/or clickstream data.

How we protect and secure your information

The security of your personal information is important to us. When you enter sensitive information (such as health and financial information) on our order forms, we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL).

California resident's privacy rights

Companies that collect personally identifiable information from California residents and disclose such information to Third Parties (including affiliated entities) for marketing purposes must, in response to a request by a consumer, either (1) provide a list detailing the categories of information shared and the entities to which such information was provided, or (2) provide a mechanism by which a consumer may opt-out of having their information shared with Third Parties.

ABC has elected the second option, and you may request that your personally-identifiable information not be shared with third parties by sending your request, including your full name, email address, and postal address, to:

support@affordablebenefitchoices.com

Under California Civil Code Sec. 1789.3, California resident users are entitled to know that they may file grievances and complaints with the California Department of Consumer Affairs, 400 R Street, Suite 1080, Sacramento, CA 95814; or by phone at 916-445-1254 or 800-952-5210; or by email to dca@dca.ca.gov.

CAN-SPAM Compliance

Affordable Benefit Choices LLC is committed to compliance with all Federal regulations, including the Federal CAN-SPAM Act of 2003.

ABC only sends emails to those of our visitors who have "opted in" to receive these communications.
