Privacy Statement
Our commitment to your privacy
Our priority is to ensure that your transaction is secure, the data you provide to us is protected, and that your privacy is respected. We take this responsibility very seriously.
We take significant steps to ensure that our servers and your data are always kept secure. We have even hired leading security firms to improve and audit our performance including ScanAlert (HackerSafe) and VeriSign. When we collect personally identifiable information from you, the data is always secured by Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
VeriSign SSL Certificates protect e-commerce transactions and other private information with 128-bit encryption, the strongest SSL protection available. All information collected is protected from unauthorized access.
How and why we collect your information
This site collects certain information through online quote applications. See details below about the information collected per application.
Personal Information
When you apply for insurance quotes (online or offline) we will request some personal information such as your name, address, email, or telephone number and other relevant information. You may be asked to disclose other personal information to us so that we can provide more accurate quotes for you.
We will not disclose personally identifiable information we collect from you to third parties without your permission except to the extent necessary including:
- To fulfill your service requests for services
- To protect ourselves from liability
- To respond to a judicial proceeding, court order or legal process or to comply with matters of the law.
- In connection with a merger, acquisition, or liquidation of the company.
Insurance companies establish each customer's rates using a variety of criteria. Sometimes, where permitted by law, insurance companies will need to run additional background information reports such as DMV records, claims history, and credit reports. By providing your information and requesting quotes, you are giving your consent to have these reports run. Additionally, we may need to call you for additional information and by requesting these quotes and providing this information, you are giving consent to have us call you via telephone as necessary.

Information from our "Request a Call" Feature
Our "Request a Call" feature was established for ease of customer communication with our licensed agents. Our web "call back" form requests a name, phone number, zip code and email address so that an agent can contact you as soon as possible. We do not sell or share the information collected on this form.
