Privacy Policy
This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their 'Personally Identifiable Information' (PII) is being used online. PII, as described in US privacy law and information security, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context. Please read our privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with our website.

California Online Privacy Protection Act
CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to
require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law's reach stretches well beyond
California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites
collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on
its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is
being shared. You can learn more at
http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf
We are not licensed to sell insurance in California and, therefore, our site does not contain any information that would be relevant to California residents. Given that, however, according to CalOPPA, we agree to the following:
- Users can visit our site anonymously.
- Our Privacy Policy link includes the word 'Privacy' and can easily be found in a link at the bottom of our home page.
You will be notified of any Privacy Policy changes:
- On our Privacy Policy Page
You can change your personal information:
- By contacting us via email or telephone as shown on our Contact Us page

mechanism is in place.
Does our site allow third-party behavioral tracking?
It's also important to note that we do not allow third-party behavioral tracking
COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children's
Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States' consumer
protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do
to protect children's privacy and safety online.
- We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.
Fair Information Practices
The
Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts
they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding
the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various
privacy laws that protect personal information.
In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices, we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:
- We will notify the users via notification on our website within 10 business days
We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
