SelectQuote is committed to the security and privacy of all of your personal
information. This privacy statement explains the protection, uses, and benefits
of the information you provide in order to assure your peace of mind through
every step of the process.
What information is gathered and how is it used?
The questions we ask on our site are used only to determine which insurance
carriers and products best match your unique needs. Each insurance company bases
its final prices on its own criteria, so to help match you most accurately with
the best company, product, and policy for your needs, we gather some general
health, lifestyle, family history and contact information on our site. A
licensed representative will then review your submission and, if necessary,
either call or email you to clarify any outstanding issues and provide you with
the information you request.
From time to time we may contact you with information concerning various
insurance products that we believe might be of interest to you.
Of course, you should only feel comfortable providing this information to a
trusted name with a verified commitment to your privacy and security. As
America's oldest and largest independent term life sales agency, SelectQuote has
helped hundreds of thousands of people get the coverage they need - quickly and
privately.
Should you have any questions whatsoever regarding the personal information
submitted to SelectQuote, please call us at 1-800-977-5173 or email us at
customercare@selectquote.com.
What security devices are in place on SelectQuote.com to
protect my personal information?
All information submitted through SelectQuote.com is encrypted using SSL
(Secured Sockets Layer) protocol. This encodes and protects your information as
it travels across the Internet. All personal information you supply is encrypted
using a digital certificate supplied by VeriSign, a leading provider of internet
security technology.
Does SelectQuote sell my personal information to other
companies?
No.
When does SelectQuote provide my personal information to
insurance companies?
Only when you explicitly authorize us to begin the application process for the
policy and carrier you choose. Even then, you will receive the formal paperwork
to review (and correct, if necessary) and sign before any information will be
released to the carrier of your choice.
How will the insurance companies use my information once I
authorize its release?
Any personal information gathered by SelectQuote is used only for the process of
qualifying you for insurance products. Where permitted by law, your information
may be used to request credit, medical and/or driving records from a third
party. This information is used for underwriting the application in accordance
with the disclosures and releases that you must review and sign. These
authorizations are included with your application.

You can access all your personally identifiable information that we collect
online and maintain by calling us at 1-800-977-5173 or emailing us at

steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections. We
use this procedure to better safeguard your information.
