This Privacy Policy explains all the ways in which we collect personal information when you visit our website and use our services, including our online comparative insurance rating platform (collectively, the “Services”), and your rights as a consumer.

What Information Do We Collect?
Website Visitors
When you visit our website or register for more information, we may request that you provide Personal Information about yourself, and we also collect Navigational Information.
Personal information
Personal Information refers to any information that you provide to us and that identifies you personally, including contact information, such as your name, email address, company name, address, phone number, and other information about yourself or your business. It can also include information about any transactions, both free and paid, that you enter into on the Website, and information about you that is available on the internet, such as from Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, Twitter, and Google, or information that we acquire from service providers. Personal Information includes Navigational Information where such information can directly or indirectly identify you.
Information We Collect from Third Parties
From time to time, we may receive Personal Information about you from third-party sources, including partners with which we offer co-branded services or engage in joint marketing activities, and other sources, such as social media websites and search engines.
Navigational Information
We may collect web-tracking technologies such as cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, and clear GIFs in order to operate the website efficiently and to collect data related to your usage of and interaction with the Service. Such collected data (“Navigational Information”) may include the address of the services you visited before and after you visited the Service, your geographic location, the search terms you used, the date and time of your visit, the type of browser you are using, your Internet Protocol (IP) address, what pages in the Service you visit and links you clicked on, and whether you opened email communications we send to you. If you use a mobile device to access our Service, we may also collect information about the geographical location from which you accessed the Service.
In order to collect web-tracking Information and to make your use of the Service more efficient, we may store cookies on your computer. These cookies will be stored (1) until you close the browser, (2) until you log off the Service, or (3) until they expire. For more information about cookies generally, please visit www.allaboutcookies.org.
We may also use web-tracking technologies that are placed in webpages on the Service or in email communications to collect information about actions that you take when you interact with the Service or our email communications. Navigational Information may include data, such as IP address data, that is unique to you. Many of the products we offer, such as insurance products, are specific to your location. You may be able to modify your browser settings to alter which web-tracking technologies are permitted when you use the Service, but this may affect the performance of the Service. Likewise, most mobile devices allow you to disable the ability for geo-location to be collected from your mobile device, but this may also affect the performance of the Service.

This information can include your IP address, browser type, domain names, internet service provider (ISP), the files viewed on our site (e.g., HTML pages, graphics, etc.), operating system, clickstream data, access times, and referring website addresses. We use this information to provide general statistics regarding use of the Websites. For these purposes, we do link this automatically collected data to other Personal Information, such as name, email address, address, and phone number.

Cookies
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. When you visit the site again, the cookie allows that site to recognize your browser. Cookies may store user preferences and other information.
Cookies set by Insurify are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than us are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
Why We Use Cookies
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Website. For example, Insurify keeps track of the Website and pages you visit within Insurify, in order to determine what portion of the Insurify Website is the most popular or most used. This data is used to deliver customized content and promotions within the Insurify Website to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
Types of Cookies We Use and How We Use Them
The specific types of cookies served through our Website and the purposes they perform include:
Essential website cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Website to you, you cannot refuse them. You can block or delete them by changing your browser settings, however, as described below.
Performance and functionality cookies: These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Website but are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality may become unavailable.
Analytics and customization cookies: These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our Website for you.
Advertising cookies: These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.
Social networking cookies: These cookies are used to enable you to share pages and content that you find interesting on our Website through third-party social networking and other websites. These cookies may also be used for advertising purposes.
How Can You Control Cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by clicking on the appropriate opt-out links provided below. You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted.
As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information. Most advertising networks also offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or http://www.youronlinechoices.com. You may opt out by clicking here: http://preferences.truste.com/.
Please note this does not opt you out of being served advertising. You will continue to receive generic advertisements.
Other Tracking Technologies, Like Web Beacons
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We employ a software technology called clear GIFs (aka Web Beacons/Web Bugs) that helps us better manage the Website and Subscription Service by informing us what content is effective. Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on Web pages or in emails and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We use clear GIFs or pixels in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. We tie the information gathered by clear GIFs in emails to our customers’ Personal Information.
Consumer Data Privacy Rights
Depending on your state of residency (CA, CO, CT, DE, IA, MT, NE, NH, NJ, OR, TN, TX, UT, or VA), you may have the ability to exercise certain rights in regards to your Personal Information. You may exercise the rights described in this section that correspond with your applicable state law. These laws give applicable state residents certain rights such as access to, the ability to delete their "Personal Information," and to opt out of the sale of their “Personal Information.” These state privacy laws also require businesses to disclose in their privacy policies information about how they collect, use, and share Personal Information. This section of the privacy policy contains the disclosures Insurify is required to make and summarizes those state-provided rights.

The table below discloses the categories of Personal Information that Insurify has collected in the past 12 months from the effective date of this Privacy Policy. Insurify may sell or disclose the categories of Personal Information in the chart below to Service Providers, which would be either Contractors (as defined above) or our carrier partners. For each category of Personal Information, the table identifies:
whether Insurify has sold to a third party, or disclosed for a business purpose, the category of Personal Information; and
the categories of third parties to whom the information was disclosed or sold.
The table does not include Personal Information provided to us by partners or other customers in a business-to-business context.

If a response requires additional time, we will notify you of the basis for the delay and may extend our response period up to an additional 45 days. We have no obligation to provide Personal Information to you more than twice in a 12-month period. If a request or series of requests is manifestly unfounded or excessive, we may charge a reasonable fee for processing the request(s) or may refuse to process the request(s).
If Insurify is able to verify your identity, we will respond to your request by (a) honoring your request; or (b) where applicable, explaining why we may deny honoring your request regarding your Personal Information. Insurify may choose to delete Personal Information by de-identifying, aggregating, or completely erasing the information.
If for some reason your Personal Information request is denied, you have the right to appeal our decision. We respond to all appeal requests as soon as possible, but no later than legally required.
Authorized Agents
Consumers may submit Requests to Know, Opt Out, Correct, or Delete through an authorized agent. Unless the agent provides Insurify with a power of attorney executed by the Consumer, Insurify may require the Consumer to verify their identity with Insurify and/or to provide Insurify with written confirmation of the agent’s authority to make the request.
California Online Privacy Protection Act Notice
On September 27, 2013, California enacted A.B. 370, amending the California Online Privacy Protection Act to require website operators like Insurify to disclose how they respond to “Do Not Track Signals” and whether third parties collect personally identifiable information about users when they visit Insurify.
Insurify does not respond to “do not track” signals.
Insurify does not authorize the collection of personally identifiable information from Insurify users for third-party use through advertising technologies without separate member consent.
Security
We have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures and security precautions to protect the security and integrity of your Personal Information in accordance with this policy and applicable law. However, no Internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee that security breaches will not occur. Without limitation of the foregoing, we are not responsible for the actions of hackers and other unauthorized third parties that breach our reasonable security procedures.
Amendments
Insurify may modify or amend this policy from time to time. If we make any material changes, as determined by Insurify, in the way in which Personal Information or web-tracking Information is collected, used, or transferred, we will notify you of these changes by modification of this Privacy Policy, which will be available for review by you at the website. Notwithstanding any modifications we may make, any Personal Information and web-tracking Information collected by Insurify from you will be treated in accordance with the Privacy Policy in effect at the time information was collected, unless we obtain your consent otherwise.

Any person with a disability that prevents or restricts them from accessing this Privacy Policy through the Apps or Insurify’s website may request a copy of the Privacy Policy in an alternative format by contacting Insurify at: [email protected] or (855) 206-0522.
Children
Insurify does not knowingly collect or maintain personally identifiable information from persons under 17 years of age, and no part of the website is directed at persons under 17. If you are under 17 years of age, please do not use the website.
The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act imposes certain requirements on website operators that have actual knowledge that they collect personally identifiable information from children under 13 years of age. If Insurify learns that personally identifiable information of persons less than 13 years of age has been collected without verifiable parental consent, then Insurify will take the appropriate steps to delete this information. To make such a request, or if you have any questions or concerns about the Privacy Policy for the website or its implementation, please contact us at: [email protected].
