We live in a digital age where we have no idea what happens to our name, date of birth, driver's license number, address, and phone number once we enter them into a box on the screen. How can you be sure the data is used for what you intended? You can't really, unless it is a trusted site.

Almost all websites force a secure connection to the web. You can tell by the little https at the beginning of the URL. Your browser might even have a little shield symbol displaying the encryption method. At least you can be sure your information is scrambled on your end and then decoded or unscrambled on the other end.

Be cautious of internet ads offering insurance for $29 a month, claiming insurance agents collect 80% commissions. Those claims are not valid. Those are data mining operations that turn around and sell your data to the highest bidder once you hit send. You'll never get your phone to stop ringing after that.

Our agencies partner with reliable, well-trusted insurance companies and client management systems that prioritize security. You hear every day in the news of this company or that experiencing a data breach. The thieves are becoming increasingly sophisticated every day, employing the latest tools. Part of the reason our insurance rates are going up is that companies are investing millions into cybersecurity to stay several steps ahead of the pirates.

We promise to do everything we can to limit the exposure of your personal data. We don't sell it; instead, we share it exclusively with our contracted insurance company partners. Your quote comes from us, one single source, not dozens. We'll never ask for a Social Security number, nor should you ever give it to any agent or company, to get a quote. They know enough about you to order consumer reports without that number. We hope to win your trust and keep it for years to come.
