How does Confie protect my personal information?
To protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use, we use security measures that comply with federal law. These measures include computer safeguards and secured files and buildings.

How does Confie collect my personal information?
We collect your personal information, for example, when you
- Make an inquiry about an insurance product or service
- Apply for insurance or pay insurance premiums

We also collect your personal information from others, such as credit bureaus, affiliates, or other companies.
Why can’t I limit all sharing?
Federal law gives you the right to limit only
- sharing for affiliates’ everyday business purposes—information about your creditworthiness
- affiliates from using your information to market to you
- sharing for non‑affiliates to market to you
State laws and individual companies may give you additional rights to limit sharing. See below for more on your rights under state law.
