Quality Insurance For Less

This privacy notice outlines our privacy practices and the use of Google Analytics 4 (GA4), an analytic advertising feature. This notice applies solely to information collected by this website and the GA4 platform. It will inform you about:

– What personally identifiable information is collected through the website and GA4 platform, how it is used, and with whom it may be shared.
– The choices available to you regarding the use of your data.
– The security procedures in place to protect against the misuse of your information.
– How you can correct any inaccuracies in the information.

Information Collection, Use, and Sharing

We only collect information that you voluntarily provide to us via email or other direct contact. We will not sell or rent this information to anyone.

We will use your information to respond to you regarding the reason you contacted us. Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future to inform you about specials, new products or services, or changes to this privacy policy.

While Gauthier & Gauthier Insurance is the primary data controller, Google, in the context of providing Google Analytics services, acts as a data processor. We use Google Analytics 4, a widely recognized web analytics service provided by Google, Inc., to track user interactions and gather data for advertising purposes. Google Analytics operates independently and maintains its own privacy policy, which can be found at [Google Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy). We carefully select our third-party vendors for their commitment to user privacy and adherence to data protection standards. As part of our ongoing commitment to your privacy, we ensure that services like GA4 comply with our high standards of data protection.

GA4 collects certain personally identifiable information from you as you interact with our website. This information includes, but is not limited to, your device ID, IP address, and geographic location. The information collected through GA4 is used to analyze user behavior, optimize our website’s performance, and tailor our content to better serve your needs. This data is compiled and anonymized, ensuring that it cannot be linked back to individual users.

Disclaimer

We do not sell, rent, or share your personally identifiable information with any third party outside of our organization, except to vendors and service providers who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or serving our users, as long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.

The information we collect may be used for marketing purposes, including phone calls, SMS, automated messages, and emails to inform you about our specials, new products, or services. By providing your information, you consent to receive these communications unless you opt out.

Please note that GA4 may share the information collected with Google and other third-party service providers to enable data processing and reporting on website usage. However, we will not sell, rent, or share your information, especially your personally identifiable information, with any third party outside of our organization.

Your Access to and Control Over Information

You have certain rights regarding the data collected by GA4. You can exercise these rights at any time by contacting us via the email address or phone number provided on our website:

– See what data we have about you, if any.
– Have us delete any data we have about you.
– Express any concern you have about our use of your data.

In addition to opting out of any future communications from us at any time, you may also opt out of the GA4 feature if you choose.

Security

We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline. GA4 also follows industry best practices to protect your data both online and offline.

To ensure data protection while we are using GA4, we implement additional security measures that include, but are not limited to:

– Limiting data access
– Using secure protocols
– Managing data sharing with Google

Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us securely. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (e.g., billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

By using our website and consenting to the use of GA4, you acknowledge and agree to the data collection and processing practices described in this notice. For more information about GA4 and its privacy practices, please review [Google’s Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy).
