Introduction

Northern Shore Insurance (“we,” “us,” “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to this website and any other pages or services that link to this policy.

By using our website, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our website or services.

Information we collect

We collect two kinds of information:

Personal information

Information that can identify you, which you provide voluntarily through our quote form or by phone. This includes:

  • Name, email address, phone number, and ZIP code
  • The coverage you are interested in and any notes you add to a quote request
  • Details you share by phone to get an accurate quote
  • Any other information you choose to include in a message or form submission

Information collected automatically

When you visit our site, we may collect:

  • Browser type, device type, and operating system
  • Pages visited and links clicked
  • IP address and approximate geographic location, which our service providers for maps and image hosting also receive when a page loads
  • Referring website or search query
  • If you come from one of our Google ads: the ad details, like the campaign and search term (see Cookies & tracking)

Our website developer also receives anonymous page-speed measurements with no identifier and no cookie.

How we use information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Prepare and deliver insurance quotes
  • Respond to your inquiries and follow up on quote requests
  • Submit policy applications to GEICO on your behalf
  • Send relevant insurance information, service updates, or promotional communications (you may opt out at any time)
  • Improve our website, content, and the quality of our services
  • Comply with applicable laws and regulatory requirements
  • Detect and prevent fraud or unauthorized use

We will not use your information for purposes that are incompatible with those listed above without notifying you and, where required by law, obtaining your consent.

How we share information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share it only in the following limited circumstances:

  • GEICO and affiliated underwriters: As a GEICO Exclusive Agency, we transmit your quote and application information to GEICO to generate rates and process policies. GEICO’s own privacy practices govern how they handle that data once received.
  • Service providers: We may share data with trusted vendors who assist us in operating our website or business (such as analytics platforms, email services, and maps and image hosting), each bound by confidentiality obligations. Those that deliver parts of our pages receive basic technical data such as your IP address.
  • Google, for ad measurement: If you come from one of our Google ads, the ad click details may be shared with Google so we can measure which ads lead to quote requests. Your name, email, phone and form answers are never shared with Google.
  • Legal requirements: We may disclose information when required by law, subpoena, court order, or governmental authority.
  • Business transfers: If Northern Shore Insurance is involved in a merger, acquisition, or transfer of assets, your information may be transferred to the successor entity, which will remain bound by this policy.

Cookies & tracking

This website does not track you across other websites. It sets no advertising or analytics cookies.

We count visits and a few actions, like opening the quote form or tapping our phone number, using a statistics service that sets no cookies and never receives what you type. Ad and tracker blockers will stop it, and the site works the same.

No Google advertising tag or cookie is loaded on this site.

Data retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or as required by applicable law. Quote requests are kept only as long as we need them to serve you and meet legal requirements. When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it securely.

If you wish to request deletion of your data, please contact us using the information at the bottom of this page.

Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Sensitive data submitted through our website is transmitted using SSL/TLS encryption.

However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security and are not responsible for harm resulting from unauthorized access beyond our reasonable control. If you believe your information has been compromised, please contact us immediately.

Children's privacy

Our website and services are not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can locate and delete it promptly.

Your rights & choices

You have the right to:

  • Request access to the personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
  • Request deletion of your personal information, subject to any legal retention obligations
  • Opt out of marketing communications at any time by replying “unsubscribe” to any email or contacting us directly

To exercise any of these rights, please reach out using the contact information below. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable law.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.

Your continued use of our website following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. If you do not agree with the revised policy, please discontinue use of our website.
