Our Commitment To Privacy
Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on the bottom toolbar of every page.
<top>The Information We Collect
This notice applies to all information collected or submitted on the Long-Term Care QuoteSM website. On the Free Quote page, you can request policy comparisons and quotes. The types of personal information collected are as follows:
Name
Address
Date of birth
Marital status
Email address
Phone number
Important note: Keep in mind, the information you provide our company is very basic in nature. We do not ask for any confidential information such as credit card accounts or Social Security numbers. So again, your privacy and security are protected.
<top>The Way We Use Information
We use the information you provide about yourself when requesting a quote only to complete your request.
Long-Term Care QuoteSM's policy is to respect and protect the privacy of each of our valued visitors and customers. To that end, we do not share the information you provide with any other entity, nor do we ever sell or rent our names to any one or any company for any reason, period.
We use return email addresses to answer the emails we receive. Such addresses are not shared with any outside third-parties.
You can register with our website if you would like to receive our updates on new products and services. Information you submit on our website will be used for this purpose unless you opt-out. If you do not opt-out initially, you may opt out at anytime in the future with the simple click of your mouse.
We use non-identifying and aggregate information to better design our website and study industry trends. For example, we may track that X number of individuals visited a certain area on our website, or that Y number of men and Z number of women opted-in for email updates, however, we do not disclose anything that could be used to identify those individuals.
Finally, we never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to those described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.
<top>Our Commitment To Data Security
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
The importance of security for all personally identifiable information associated with our website visitors is of great concern to us. As a result, Long-Term Care QuoteSM automatically encrypts your confidential information in transit from your computer to ours using the Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL) with an encryption key length of 128-bits (the highest level commercially available).
Once your information reaches us, it resides on a server that is heavily guarded both physically and electronically. Our servers sit behind an electronic firewall and are not directly connected to the internet, so your private information is available only to authorized computers and personnel.
<top>Our Commitment To Children's Privacy
Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, we never collect or maintain information at our website from those we actually know are under 18, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 18.
<top>How You Can Access Or Correct Your Information
You can access your quoted information by going into "Existing Quote" and entering your quote number and last name. We use this procedure to better safeguard your information. If you don’t know your quote number, you can contact us at 1-800-587-3279 for assistance.
You can correct factual errors in your personally identifiable information by sending us a request that credibly shows the error.
To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections.
