Information we collect
- Information you provide: such as your name, email address, newsletter preference, and the contents of a message submitted through our contact form.
- Technical information: such as IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, approximate location derived from an IP address, timestamps, and security-event information.

How we use information
We may use information to operate, maintain, and secure the site; respond to inquiries; provide requested updates; understand site performance; prevent spam, fraud, and abuse; improve our content; measure and deliver advertising; comply with legal obligations; and enforce our terms. We do not sell insurance, provide binding insurance quotes, or use this site to make insurance eligibility decisions.
Cookies and similar technologies
We and our service providers use cookies and similar technologies for the purposes below. The exact cookies present can vary by page, device, location, consent choice, and provider updates.
| Category | Purpose and examples | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| Essential and security | Site operation, login and session security, fraud prevention, load balancing, and recording privacy choices. These technologies cannot always be disabled without affecting site operation. | Session-only through approximately 13 months, depending on purpose and provider. |
| Analytics | Google Analytics and related Google services may use identifiers such as _ga and _ga_* to measure aggregated traffic, engagement, and site performance. | Commonly session-only through up to 2 years; settings and consent choices may shorten this period. |
| Advertising | Google AdSense, Google advertising services, and authorized advertising partners may use cookies or similar identifiers to deliver, limit, measure, and—where permitted—personalize ads. | Varies by provider, consent, and jurisdiction; commonly session-only through approximately 13 months. |
| Preferences | Remembering display, language, consent, and privacy preferences. | Session-only through approximately 13 months. |
You can delete or restrict cookies through your browser. Blocking essential technologies may affect site functionality. Where required, we present regional consent or opt-out controls before or while eligible technologies are used.
Google advertising and analytics
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this or other websites. Google’s advertising cookies enable Google and its partners to serve, measure, and personalize ads where permitted. You can manage Google advertising personalization through My Ad Center and learn how Google processes information from partner sites through Google’s partner-sites policy.
We use Google Analytics and related services to understand aggregated traffic and engagement. Our consent platform communicates eligible consent choices to Google for advertising and analytics purposes. Google and participating advertising partners process information under their own privacy policies and applicable consent signals.
How information may be disclosed
We may disclose information to service providers that support hosting, security, analytics, email delivery, advertising, and site operations; when required by law or a valid legal process; to protect users, the site, or our rights; or in connection with a business reorganization. Providers are expected to process information for the services they supply and according to their contractual and legal obligations.
We do not sell personal information for money. Some state laws define “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” broadly enough to include certain advertising-related disclosures. Eligible visitors may opt out using the controls described below.
Your Privacy Choices
- Cookie and consent controls: visitors in regions where consent is required may use the message displayed on the site to accept, reject, or manage eligible purposes and vendors.
- U.S. state opt-out: eligible visitors can use the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” control presented on the site to opt out of covered advertising uses.
- Google advertising: manage personalized advertising in My Ad Center.
- Industry opt-outs: additional participating-company choices are available at YourAdChoices.
- Browser controls: most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies and clear local storage.
- Global Privacy Control: where legally required and technically supported, a recognized Global Privacy Control signal will be treated as an opt-out request for that browser or device.
U.S. state privacy rights
Depending on your state and whether an applicable law covers our activities, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or a portable copy of certain personal information; to opt out of covered sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or certain profiling; to limit certain uses of sensitive information; to appeal a denied request; and to receive equal service without unlawful discrimination for exercising a privacy right. These rights are subject to definitions, exceptions, and verification requirements that vary by jurisdiction.
Submit a request or appeal through our contact page or email contact@smallbusinessinsured.com. Describe the right you wish to exercise and the state where you reside. We may request information reasonably necessary to verify the request. An authorized agent may submit a request where permitted, but we may require proof of authority and direct verification with the consumer. We will not discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.
Data retention and security
Contact inquiries are retained for the time needed to respond, document the resolution, and meet legal or recordkeeping obligations. Technical and security logs are retained while reasonably necessary to protect, troubleshoot, and operate the site. Consent, opt-out, analytics, and advertising records are retained according to applicable law, provider settings, and the periods summarized above. We may retain information longer when reasonably necessary for fraud prevention, disputes, legal claims, or mandatory records. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no online service can guarantee absolute security.
Newsletter and communications
If you subscribe to updates, we or a service provider may use your email address to deliver them and measure engagement. You may unsubscribe using the link in an email when available or contact us. Transactional or administrative messages may still be sent when necessary.
External links, referrals, and embedded content
Our content may link to or embed material from other websites. Those services may collect information as if you visited them directly. Quote-request or referral links may take you to insurers, agents, brokers, or other third parties, and information you provide there is governed by that party’s terms and privacy policy. Review our Advertising and Affiliate Disclosure.
Children’s privacy
This site is intended for business audiences and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly seek personal information from children under 13.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy as our services, vendors, or legal obligations change. Material revisions will be reflected by the updated date below. Questions, privacy requests, and appeals can be submitted through our contact page or emailed to contact@smallbusinessinsured.com.
