Q&A About Privacy
In
order to make it easier to understand LifeInsurancewiz's privacy policies,
we've arranged this document in a question and answer format.
How
does LifeInsurancewiz use my information?
LifeInsurancewiz
uses your personally identifiable information to prepare your insurance
profile. From this profile, LifeInsurancewiz generates quote requests
for our participating insurance or mortgage companies.
Unless
you expressly give us permission to do so, or unless required by law,
LifeInsurancewiz does not willfully use or disclose personally identifiable
information. However, we may share aggregated statistical information
about the use of the LifeInsurancewiz web site with our participating
insurance / mortgage companies or business partners. Even in this case,
individual users' personally identifiable information is not disclosed.
How
do Lifeinsurancewiz's participating insurance companies use my information?
All
of the companies use the information you provide for one general purpose:
to provide you with an accurate insurance / mortgage quote. Personally
identifiable information such as name, address, is collected as part
of the process of requesting a quote. Companies use your personally
identifiable information in combination with other information you provide
about your insurance / mortgage needs. However, the rating criteria
may be different for each participating insurance / mortgage company
and each company may place different emphasis on particular aspects
of your information.
Why
do some of LifeInsurancewiz's quote request forms require so much information?
LifeInsurancewiz
works with many insurance and mortgage companies. Since these companies
use different criteria to rate prospective customers, the form must
encompass a wide range of questions. The comprehensive form ensures
that you receive the best quotes for your particular circumstances.
The consequence of declining to provide some requested information is
that LifeInsurancewiz may be unable to provide quotes from participating
insurance / mortgage companies.
How
can I change my information?
At
any point in the request for quote process, you can use your browser's
back button to return to previous pages. When you have returned to one
of the summary pages, select the "Change" button to modify your information.
After
I request quotes at LifeInsurancewiz, who will contact me?
If
you request quotes at LifeInsurancewiz, representatives of the companies
that best fit your circumstances will contact you with information regarding
your quotes or coverage.
In
addition, LifeInsurancewiz e-mails a quality control survey to all customers
who request quotes or coverage. This survey is sent out within 4-5 days
after your request, and is completely optional.
Does
LifeInsurancewiz sell my information to other companies?
No.
LifeInsurancewiz never resells, trades, leases or rents the personally
identifiable information of our users to other companies.
Does
LifeInsurancewiz store my information?
Yes.
All information submitted through LifeInsurancewiz's quote request forms
is stored on our servers. LifeInsurancewiz does not use this information
except to process your request to provide quotes, or with to forward
it to an insurance / mortgage company when you request coverage.
How
does LifeInsurancewiz protect my information as it passes over the Internet?
All
our quote request forms use the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol.
With SSL, when you enter the LifeInsurancewiz home page your information
is encrypted as it travels between your computer and our servers. Encryption
makes it exceedingly difficult for others to view your information.
Does
LifeInsurancewiz use "cookies"?
Yes,
some of LifeInsurancewiz's pages do use "cookies" — one or more small
text files saved on your computer's hard drive and stored in memory
while your browser is running. LifeInsurancewiz assigns a random number
to each user and stores this number as a cookie on the user's computer.
This allows LifeInsurancewiz to correlate user activity throughout our
site and track usage patterns.
