At OACM , we respect every individual's right to privacy. Our relationship with you is our most valuable asset and is the very basis of our name and reputation.

We refer to and treat this information as "personal information".

COLLECTION AND USE OF INFORMATION

When you sign up for a new policy or register for our services, you will be required to provide us with information such as your name, address, age, gender, e-mail address, identity card number, amongst others. The personal information gathered is used primarily to provide you the insurance services you have requested, evaluate your insurance needs, prevent fraud and offer additional products and services that we believe may be of benefit to you.

To serve you better, we may combine information you give us on the Web or through other channels.

Cookies let us "remember" information about your preferences and allow you to move within our service without reintroducing yourself. If we collect information from you, it is held securely and in the strictest confidence. For example, if you submit your email address to OACM , we hold your email address on a secured server and we use it for no purpose other than as stated in this policy.
