PRIVACY POLICY

North Carolina Farm Bureau takes your privacy seriously. Please read the following to learn more about Farm Bureau’s privacy policy. By using this site, you indicate your acceptance of North Carolina Farm Bureau’s Online Privacy Policy.

North Carolina Farm Bureau collects personal identifying information when you register with North Carolina Farm Bureau, when you use North Carolina Farm Bureau products or services, when you visit North Carolina Farm Bureau pages or pages of certain North Carolina Farm Bureau partners or when you voluntarily submit such information to us. We also collect user-specific information on what pages are visited and volunteered information such as survey information and/or site registrations. North Carolina Farm Bureau may combine information about you that we have with information we obtain from business partners or other companies.

The information we collect is used for the following general purposes: to customize the advertising and content you see, fulfill your requests for products and services, improve our services, contact you, conduct research, and provide anonymous reporting for internal and external clients.

We care about the safety of children; therefore, we won’t knowingly allow anyone under age 13 to provide us with any personally identifying information. Children should always get permission from their parents before sending any information about themselves (such as their names, e-mail addresses, and phone numbers) over the Internet, to us or to anyone else. We encourage parents to become involved with their children’s online experience, and to share their interest in our sites with their children.

In order to provide better service when visitors return to our site, Farm Bureau may use “cookies” to store our visitors’ preferences and information about such things as materials requested, pages users visit, and past user activity at a site. “Cookies” are bits of information stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive. “Cookies” are also used to customize Web page content based on visitors’ browser types (for example, Netscape or Microsoft Explorer) or other information the visitor sends, and to ensure that visitors are not repeatedly sent the banner ads or solicitations. Most browsers are initially set to accept “cookies.”  If you want to disable “cookies,” there is a simple procedure in most Internet browsers that allow you to turn off “cookies.” Please be advised that “cookies” may be required to allow you to use certain features of our sites.

From time to time, Farm Bureau may make its visitor e-mail addresses, postal addresses and telephone numbers available to other reputable business associates whose products or services might be of value to you. If you do not want us to share your information with other companies or organizations, please let us know by calling us at (919) 782-1705, or writing us at North Carolina Farm Bureau Ag in the Classroom, P.O. Box 2766, Raleigh, NC 27611.

Farm Bureau may need to disclose certain information to comply with a legal requirement, such as a law, regulation, court order, subpoena, search warrant, as a consequence of a legal proceeding or in response to a law enforcement agency request. If there is a change in control in Farm Bureau’s business (whether by merger, sale or otherwise), or a sale or transfer of its assets, customer information could be sold or transferred as part of that transaction and your personally identifying information potentially used by the Purchaser or other recipient of said customer information.

Farm Bureau limits access to personal information about you to employees who we believe reasonably need to come in contact with that information to provide products or services to you in order to do their jobs. We have appropriate physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect against the loss, misuse or alternation of information that we have collected from you.
