PRIVACY POLICY
Marsh is firmly committed to protecting your privacy and the
confidentiality of your Personal Information. We understand your privacy
and security concerns regarding the information we collect, use and
disclose to third parties for the purpose of allowing us to provide and
offer our products and services to you. To notify you about our
practices, we have developed this Privacy Policy. Any personally
identifiable information collected on this Site is considered Personal
Information (“Personal Information”) and will be treated in accordance
with this Privacy Policy.
COLLECTION, USE AND DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL
INFORMATION
Marsh is committed to protecting the privacy of Internet users who visit
Marsh's web site, located at
www.marsh.com (the
“Site”).
The information gathered by Marsh from this Site falls into two
categories: (1) information voluntarily supplied by visitors to our Site
and (2) tracking information gathered as visitors navigate through our
Site.
Information Voluntarily Provided by You
When using this Site, you may choose to provide us with information to
help us serve your needs. For example, you may provide us your e-mail
address to request information, or you may send us your mailing address
so we may send you the material you have requested. Any Personal
Information that you send us will be used only for the purpose indicated
on the Site or in this policy. We may also use your information to
provide you with information about other services and products that are
offered by Marsh or our affiliated companies that we think may be of
interest to you.
If you do not wish to be contacted by us, please see the section titled
“Opting-Out” below.
Cookies
This Site may use cookies. Cookies are pieces of information stored by
your web browser on behalf of a web site and returned to the web site on
request. The only Personal Information a cookie can contain is
information you supply. A cookie cannot read data off your hard drive.
If this Site uses
cookies, certain pages of the Site may not function properly if the
cookies are turned off. Please consult your web browser's Help
documentation for more information about how to turn cookies on and off
for your browser. Cookies are placed on your computer, and accordingly
we neither store cookies on our computers nor forward them to any
external parties.
The information that may be maintained by a cookie is used by Marsh
solely to help us manage the Site, improve features of the Site and
understand usage patterns. This may include such items as: username, the
pages visited on the Site; the date and time of the visit; the internet
address of the referring site; the version of browser used; the
capabilities of the browser; and the search terms used on our search
engines.
Discussion Forum and Chat Room Use
If you participate in a Marsh discussion forum or chat room, you should
be aware that the information you provide there will be made available
to Marsh employees and other users of the service. Also, please
recognize that the individual forums and chat rooms may have additional
rules and conditions. Each participant’s opinion on a forum or chat room
is his or her own and should not be considered as reflecting the opinion
of Marsh.
Disclosure or Use of Personal Information
We will not exchange or sell or otherwise distribute your Personal
Information without your consent, except to the extent required by law,
in accordance with your instructions, or as identified in this privacy
policy:
• Agents and Service Providers. We
sometimes contract with other companies and individuals to perform
functions or services on our behalf, such as hosting this Site, sending
e-mail messages and making phone calls on our behalf. They may have
access to Personal Information, such as addresses, needed to perform
their functions, but are restricted from using it for purposes other
than providing services for Marsh.
• Business Transfers. As we
continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy assets. In such
transactions, user information generally is one of the transferred
business assets. Also, if either Marsh itself or substantially all of
Marsh assets were acquired, your Personal Information may be one of the
transferred assets.
Legal Matters
Marsh may preserve and has the right to disclose without your prior
permission any information about you or your use of this Site if Marsh
has a good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) Protect
and defend the rights, property or safety of Marsh or its affiliates,
employees, other users of this Site, or the public; (b) Enforce the
terms and conditions that apply to use of this site, or (c) Respond to
claims that any content violates the rights of third-parties. We may
also disclose information as we deem necessary to satisfy any applicable
law, regulation, legal process or governmental request.
External Links
Marsh includes links to other websites whose privacy policies we do not
control. Once you leave our servers (you can tell where you are by
checking the URL in the location bar on your browser), use of any
information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the
operator of the site you are visiting. That policy may differ from ours.
If you can't find the privacy policy of any of these sites via a link
from the site's homepage, you should contact the site directly for more
information.
Information Storage and Security
Information collected through this Site is processed and stored in the
United States. If you are located outside the United States, by
providing information to Marsh through the use of the Site you are
consenting to the transfer of the information to the United States for
processing in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We have in place
physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards appropriate to the
sensitivity of the Personal Information we collect, use, and maintain.
However, as effective as our security measures are, no security system
is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our database, nor
can we guarantee that information you supply will not be intercepted
while being transmitted to us over the Internet. We ask that you do your
part by maintaining in strict confidence any computer passwords you use
to access the Internet or this Site.
Information Related To Employment
This Site may provide an opportunity to submit your résumé or an
application form to us or apply for a position through this Site. If
you submit information for such purposes, we will use (which may include
transferring) the Personal Information you provide to evaluate your
qualifications and contact you regarding any positions at Marsh or any
of its affiliated companies in which we believe you may be interested.
Marsh Inc. is Not Interested in Minors
You must be at least 18 years old and possess the legal authority to
form legally binding contracts under applicable law to use this Site and
the services provided on it. Marsh does not knowingly collect Personal
Information from those under the age of 18. In an instance where such
information was collected, it would be purely accidental and
unintentional. Marsh encourages parents to discuss the Internet with
their children and monitor Personal Information that a child may provide
via the Internet.
