We do not sell mobile telephone numbers or text-message opt-in information to unaffiliated third parties for their independent marketing purposes.

10. Insurance and Financial Information

Information collected in connection with an insurance quote, application, policy, claim, or other insurance transaction may be subject to federal and state insurance or financial privacy laws.

Those laws may provide protections or requirements separate from this website Privacy Policy.

Where another privacy notice is provided to you in connection with an insurance transaction, that notice may govern the applicable insurance or financial information.

This Privacy Policy is intended primarily to describe our website, digital marketing, communications, and general business-data practices and does not replace any privacy notice required under applicable insurance or financial-services law.

Some browsers and devices provide privacy signals or settings intended to communicate tracking preferences.

Where applicable law requires us to recognize a legally valid browser-based opt-out preference signal, we will make reasonable efforts to honor that signal in accordance with applicable law and available technology.

Browser-based “Do Not Track” signals do not currently operate under a single universally accepted technical standard, so our response to those signals may vary unless otherwise required by law.

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, use, alteration, disclosure, loss, or destruction.

No website, transmission method, storage system, or security measure is completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted to or maintained by us.

Our website may be accessible outside the United States.

Privacy and cookie laws vary by jurisdiction.

Where applicable law requires consent before certain analytics, visitor-identification, advertising, or similar technologies are used, we intend to use our consent-management tools to obtain or manage the required choices.
