Information we collect
Information you give us. If you contact us through the website, we collect what you submit: your name, company, title, email address, phone number, the approximate amount of premium you finance, and your message.
Information collected automatically.We use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used. It collects information such as the pages you view, how you arrived at the site, your browser and device type, and your approximate location (derived from your IP address). You can opt out at any time (see “Cookies” below).
Our hosting provider and security tools also process technical information, such as your IP address, in routine server logs and to protect the site. We use Cloudflare Turnstile to confirm that form submissions come from people rather than automated programs.

- To operate, secure, and improve the website.
- To understand, in aggregate, how visitors use the site.
- To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.
Cookies
A cookie is a small file stored on your device. Google Analytics sets cookies (named “_ga” and “_ga_” followed by an identifier) to recognize returning visitors and sessions. The site may also save simple preferences in your browser, such as the sound setting in our brochure viewer.
Opting out.You can opt out of analytics at any time by choosing “Opt Out” in our cookie notice, or by using “Cookie Settings” at the bottom of every page. When you opt out, analytics stop and the analytics cookies are removed. We also treat a Global Privacy Control signal from your browser as an opt-out. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings as well.
To opt out of Google Analytics on all sites, you can use Google’s browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with service providers that help us run the site and our business – including Google (analytics), Vercel (website hosting), Resend (email delivery), and Cloudflare (spam protection) – and when required by law or to protect our rights. Contact form submissions are delivered to our team by email.
Retention and security
We keep inquiry information for as long as needed to respond to you and maintain our business records. We use reasonable safeguards to protect information, but no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live (for example, California), you may have the right to ask what personal information we hold about you, to request that it be corrected or deleted, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell personal information. To make a request, contact us using the details below.
