Effective date: August 24, 2020
insured.io ("us", "we", or "our") operates this website on behalf of Triton General Insurance Agency, LLC (the "Service").
This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data. Please note that this Privacy Policy only applies to your use of the Service. Your insurance company may have its own Privacy Policy, governing use of their own products and services, which may differ from ours. We do not take responsibility for their privacy policy. However, we stand by ours.
We use your data to provide and improve the Service. We do not sell your information or use it for purposes, other than to provide you the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
