Privacy
This section describes National MI’s privacy practices with respect to this website. Please visit our Privacy Policy page for more specific information regarding our overall privacy practices and non-website activities.
Information We Collect via Cookies, etc. In order to make your visit to our website as productive as possible, we may track user activity – using automated technologies such as cookies, web server logs and web beacons. The tracking technology we use does not identify any personal information about you – for example, it cannot retrieve data from your hard drive, pass on computer viruses, or capture any personal information about you.
A cookie is an electronic file that holds small strings of text. When you visit our website, we may send a cookie to your browser so that we can recognize it when you return to our website. In conjunction with cookies, our web server logs may receive and store certain types of information from your visit – such as time/date, IP address, browser type, internet service provider, the page in which you came or exited through, and the number of clicks you made on our website. We may also use web beacons which are computer instructions that link web pages to web servers and their cookies.
You can adjust many browser preferences so that you are alerted when a cookie is placed in your browser, or adjust preferences to decline cookies altogether. However, please note that without cookies you may not be able to use all of the features of our website.
National MI may use the information collected through automated means for market research, system administration purposes, and data analytics, and we may also utilize third-party web analytics to help us analyze how users use our website.
Information You Provide. Generally speaking, when you visit the public portions of our website, we do not know who you are unless you tell us. For example, you may contact us and request information, and in order to respond to your request, we may ask for information such as your name, e-mail address, mailing address, telephone and fax number, or business contact information. We also may use this information to communicate with you about our products, services, and promotions. If you are a mortgage professional seeking a mortgage insurance rate quote through our website (via our rate quote tool), you will be asked to provide certain information in order for us to identify you and to provide an accurate rate quote. We may use and store this information – for example to auto-fill certain fields in future visits, to enable you to retrieve a previously obtained quote when you return, or to provide customer service.
Information We May Share. We may share user activity and site visit information collected via our website with our affiliates, marketing partners or service providers who perform services on our behalf, and as otherwise required or permitted by law. For example, we may be required to disclose personal information to cooperate with law enforcement and regulatory authorities, as part of the sale, assignment, or other transfer of our business, or to perform authentication procedures to prevent fraud. See our Privacy Policy for more specific information regarding our privacy practices.
