Privacy Policy
01 Information Collected
GaryInsures collects information that visitors choose to provide through the website, including details submitted through quote requests, account signup, login and contact forms. This may include name, email address, phone number, password and the contents of any message sent through the site.
When a coverage inquiry moves forward, additional details relevant to insurance quoting may be requested, such as information about vehicles, property, household members, health coverage needs or business operations. Limited technical information, such as browser type and pages visited, may also be gathered automatically to keep the website working properly.
02 How Information Is Used
Information collected through the website is used to:
- Respond to questions, messages and coverage inquiries.
- Prepare and compare insurance quotes from carriers relevant to the request.
- Create and manage website accounts.
- Send account, inquiry and service related communications.
- Send marketing and promotional communications where consent has been given.
- Maintain, secure and improve the website and its services.
03 SMS Communications and Consent
Where consent has been provided during signup, GaryInsures may send text messages covering account activity, saved coverage details, request confirmations, reminders and, with separate consent, marketing and promotional messages about insurance coverage options. Message frequency may vary and standard message and data rates may apply.
Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of purchase. Recipients can text STOP at any time to unsubscribe or HELP for support. Opting out of marketing messages does not prevent service messages directly related to an active inquiry or account.
04 Sharing of Information
Personal information may be shared with insurance carriers and related providers solely as needed to prepare quotes and arrange coverage that has been requested. Information may also be shared with service providers who support the operation of the website, under obligations to protect it, or where disclosure is required by law, regulation or legal process.
As highlighted above, personal information is never sold, rented or traded to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
05 Cookies and Tracking
The website may use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, keep sessions working and understand how the site is used. Browsers can be set to refuse cookies or signal when one is being placed, though some features of the site may not function fully without them.
06 Data Security
Reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards are in place to protect personal information against loss, misuse and unauthorized access. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed, but care is taken to handle every detail responsibly.
07 Data Retention
Personal information is kept only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, including managing inquiries and accounts, meeting legal and regulatory obligations and resolving disputes. When information is no longer needed, it is deleted or de-identified.
08 Your Choices and Rights
Visitors may request access to, correction of or deletion of their personal information, subject to applicable law. Marketing communications can be stopped at any time, by texting STOP for text messages or by using the contact details below for other channels. Depending on where you live, additional privacy rights may apply under local law.
09 Children's Privacy
The website and its services are intended for adults and are not directed to children. Personal information is not knowingly collected from anyone under the age of majority. If such information appears to have been submitted, it will be deleted promptly once identified.
10 Changes to This Policy
