PRIVACY   STATEMENT


      Howard & Hoffman, Inc. has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to your privacy.  This privacy statement applies to these websites:   www.howard-hoffman.com and www.youthsportsinsurance.com.

      Insurance transactions require that we obtain information from you, personal as well as non-personal.  This policy explains:

  1. What information we collect
  2. How we use that information
  3. How we protect the information


WHAT  WE  COLLECT:

      To process your insurance quotes and claims, we require some personal information like your name, address, date of birth, social security number  and other personal information.  We:

  • Only collect data that you give us when you submit our various quote and claim forms.
  • Do not collect information about you without your knowledge and consent.
  • Only collect the data that is absolutely necessary to process your quote or claim.

      We do use a site tracking software that uses "cookies" to identify what pages visitors or accessing, what search engine (if any) referred them to our site, what screen resolution they are using, and other similar information.  For example, it may tell us that someone was referred to our site by Yahoo and that they viewed our Commercial Insurance page, but it will not tell us anything about who that individual is.


HOW  WE  USE  THE  INFORMATION

      We use this information solely to process your quote or claim.  We share this information, and only that information which is absolutely necessary, with those third parties, such as the insurance companies (Hartford, Travelers, etc...), that are involved in the processing of your quote or claim.  When providing you a quote, we will also share this information with other third parties, like Choicepoint, that provide us with required information like driving records, claims records, and credit scores.  We do not sell any information about you to third parties.  We do not disclose this information to any third party that is not absolutely necessary to process your quote or claim.

      The information we collect from our site tracking software is only used by us internally.  We do not provide this information to anyone else.   It is simply for marketing information about what pages our popular and what search engines are sending us the most visitors.


SECURITY

      We do our best to keep up to date with security concerns on the Internet to make sure that your information is kept safe.  Currently, we use the industry standard, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption to protect your data while it is being transmitted to us.   We have also had our site certified by Comodo to provide you further security that we are who we say we are.  None of the information you send us is ever stored on our Internet servers.  The information goes directly to our private network that is protected by a firewall.


QUESTIONS

      If you have any questions about this information or about our website, please fell free to contact us at 202-966-0700 or webmaster@howard-hoffman.com.
