We do not sell or, without consent, allow other companies to view or use your personal information.

What is Personal Information?

Personal information is any information that identifies you (the insured), or specific to you: your name, date of birth, social insurance number, gender, marital status, etc. It is also any contact information that is not public (e.g. Address, phone number, e-mail address that does not appear on a business card). Data such as the name of your employer, your financial/banking information, etc. is also personal.

Why We Collect Personal Information

The information you provide is used to complete insurance quotes or other services and allows you to apply for an insurance policy or other. You have our assurance that we will only ask you for the information that is needed to:

  • Fully understand and assess your needs.
  • Fulfill the assignment you have given us (e.g. provide you with an accurate insurance policy or other services).
  • Provide you with superior, ongoing service, including contacting you directly with an insurance related information request or other service.
  • Provide you with timely, personalized information about up-coming renewals, insurance policies, details about our products and service changes to serve you better.
