hello@aandlfinancial.com

It’s especially important for a financial company like ours, as our customers trust us to look after a huge amount of sensitive information on everything from their business affairs to their medical history.

The way we collect and share your information is equally important. Our customers expect us to manage their information privately and securely. If we don’t, they’ll lose their trust in us.

This policy tells you how we collect and process your personal information. Please take a few minutes to read it, and show it to anyone else connected to the policy.

We use personal information that we hold about you, to carry out our responsibilities resulting from any agreements you’ve entered into with us (e.g. to underwrite and administer your policy, including processing claims) and to provide you with the information, products and services that you’ve asked from us.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

We keep contact form submissions for a certain period for customer service purposes, but we do not use the information submitted through them for marketing purposes.
