How we work with third parties
Information from third parties
We may collect additional information about you from other companies, including a consumer reporting agency or through an authenticated bank account you agree to link to the Services.
Use of social media
Our Services may allow you to connect and share your actions, comments, content, and information publicly or with friends. We are not responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any information you share publicly or with friends.
The Company may also publish content on social media platforms, e.g., Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, through both “organic” and “paid” methods to reach current and potential users:
- “Organic” methods describe where content and/or offers are published onto a social platform so that they may appear in your social platform’s content, without being promoted or forced to appear more prominently, e.g. Venteur’s Facebook Page.
- “Paid” methods describe where content and/or offers are published onto a social platform so that they will appear more prominently, or be shown to users that do not currently follow Venteur’s social pages e.g. a promoted tweet on your Twitter Timeline.
We may place one or more social media platform “tags” on our Site in order to better understand how the Company may be of best value to you by providing you with the most relevant Services available according to your interactions with us on the Site. These tags only record information around events to help us understand what products or services are of interest to you so that we may use your preferences to provide more relevant content and/or offers to you, on social media platforms, e.g. removing benefits offers from your feed if you are already a current policyholder.
We do not have direct access to your personal data on your social media platforms.
Links to Third-Party Websites
Our Site and our Services may also allow you to connect with us, share on, and use third-party websites, applications, and services. Please be mindful of your personal privacy needs and the needs of others as you choose whom to connect with and what to share and make public. We cannot control the privacy or security of information you choose to make public or share with others as we do not control the privacy practices of third parties. Please contact those sites and services directly if you want to learn about their privacy policies.
Retaining and storing your information
We employ administrative, physical and technical measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access and to comply with HIPAA, HITECH and other applicable state and federal privacy and security laws. However, despite these efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed to prevent any interception or other type of misuse. We also depend on you to protect your information. If you become aware of any breach of security or privacy, please notify us immediately.
Opt-out rights
If you do not wish to receive offers or other notices from us in the future, you can “opt out” by contacting us as indicated at the end of the Privacy Policy or by following the “unsubscribe” instructions in any communication you receive from us. Please be aware that you are not able to opt out of receiving communications about your account, the provision of Services, or related transactions with us.
Our cookie policy
Once you agree to allow our Site to use cookies, you also agree that the Company may use the data it collects regarding your online behavior (analyze web traffic, web pages you spend the most time on, and websites you visit).
The data we collect by using cookies is used to customize our Site to your needs. After we use the data for statistical analysis, the data is completely removed from our systems.
Please note that cookies don’t allow us to gain control of your computer in any way.

However, if a child under the age of 18 is a dependent on a benefits plan covered by the Benefits Service, we may collect information about the child (solely as needed to provide the Benefits Service) from the child’s parent or legal guardian, or from insurance carriers and third-party administrators.
