What is “personal information”?
Personal information is information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household. Personal information does not include content a customer or other person uploads to any Stonegate blog or forum for viewing by the public, such as customer testimonials or online discussions.

How does Stonegate collect personal information online?
Stonegate collects personal information through its online services, including its contact forms on Stonegate’s website, through forms that appear when a customer clicks on a Stonegate advertising banner on a third- party website, by chat, and by email. At this time, there are three primary types of information that Stonegate collects through online services:
