Life Quotes is committed to preserving your privacy and we have an easy-to-understand privacy policy in place here.
We will never give, sell, rent, lease or otherwise transfer your name (or information about you) to any
person or entity other than the insurance company you are applying to (which may include outside paramedical firms,
investigative agencies which are used in the normal course of insurance underwriting) and those third party
individuals and firms, including insurance agents and brokers, that we may contract with to perform quote delivery,
quote follow-up and insurance fulfillment services for us including any successor organization or entity.
When you provide us with personal information such as your name, address, e-mail and/or phone numbers, we
will consider that action as being your express invitation that we, including any subscribing, affiliated customer
of Life Quotes referral service, contact you about insurance via e-mail, telephone and fax, using the information
you have supplied, even if you are registered on any state or federal "Do Not Call" list. All calls are recorded at all
times, so if we call you, the call will be recorded for the safety of both parties. When you provide us with
personal information, it is agreed and understood that you are also granting us your express permission to contact
you using standard and public e-mail transmission facilities, which are not secure or private. Where permitted by
law, some insurance companies may confirm your information through the use of outside consumer reports, which may
include credit score and driving records as is standard practice in the insurance industry.
When you buy insurance from us, you will remain in control of your purchase decisions at all times and we are
dedicated to making the insurance purchase process as private, fast, easy and secure as possible.

organizations may be kept by them and disclosed to others.These organizations are outside of our control, and of
this Privacy Notice.)

We may share your NPI when you ask or authorize us to do so. We also use public Internet networks to e-mail
NPI information to you, the insurance company and authorized outside investigative service agencies such as
paramedic examiners companies as needed. Also, the law allows certain disclosures without your authorization. We may
share some or all of your NPI with affiliates or non affiliates, as permitted or required by law. Examples of who we
may share NPI with:
- Non affiliates under contract with us, such as paramedic examination, medical records facilities, and
customer service vendors and other insurance agencies; affiliates that help us provide services or audit our
operations.

subpoena or court order.
- Affiliates or non affiliates that market our products. The parties we may share NPI with include life and
health insurers, insurance agents, and marketing firms. The law does not allow you to opt out of these disclosures.
We may share your name, address, product purchased, and policy number for these purposes.
What are your rights?
- You have the right to know what NPI we have collected about you; this does not apply to NPI that relates
to an actual or possible claim or civil or criminal action. You may ask us in writing to correct any NPI you
believe is not correct.
- You may ask us in writing for a list of those to whom we have disclosed your medical records within the

who acted in reliance of your authorization before it was revoked.
