We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, improving our service, and communicating with you.
2. Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us.

Most mobile devices allow you to turn off location services.
4. E-mail Communications: To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from schubergagency.com if your computer supports such capabilities.
