GBH Insurance LLC is committed to safeguarding the privacy of every individual who interacts with our services. This Privacy Policy applies to all services developed by GBH Insurance, including our websites, mobile applications, customer portals, and any other digital platforms we operate. By using our services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy. We encourage you to review it carefully and reach out if you have any questions or concerns regarding how your data is handled.
1 Information We Collect
We collect several categories of information to provide you with reliable insurance services. Personal information includes details such as your full name, mailing address, email address, telephone number, date of birth, and in certain cases, social security numbers or tax identification numbers required for underwriting and policy administration. This information is gathered when you fill out application forms, request a quote, or communicate with our support team.
In addition to personal data, we automatically collect usage data when you interact with our digital platforms. This encompasses your IP address, browser type and version, device identifiers, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, timestamps, and the duration of your sessions. We also gather information about how you navigate through our services, which features you engage with, and any error logs that help us diagnose technical issues.
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enrich your experience and collect analytical data. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us recognize returning visitors, remember your preferences, and understand aggregate usage patterns. The types of cookies we deploy include session cookies that expire when you close your browser, persistent cookies that remain for a set period, and third-party cookies associated with analytics and advertising partners.
2 How We Use Your Information
The primary purpose for collecting your information is to deliver the insurance services you have requested. This includes processing applications, underwriting policies, managing claims, calculating premiums, and providing customer support. We use your data to verify your identity, assess risk factors, and ensure that the coverage we offer aligns with your specific needs and circumstances.
We also use your information to communicate with you effectively. This covers sending policy documents, renewal notices, billing statements, and important updates regarding your coverage. With your consent where required, we may send you newsletters, promotional offers, and information about new products that could benefit you. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions included in each message.
Furthermore, we analyze aggregated and anonymized data to improve our services continuously. Usage patterns help us identify areas where our platforms can be enhanced, which features are most valued by our customers, and how we can streamline the user experience. This analytical work never involves selling your personal data to third parties or using it in ways incompatible with the purposes described in this policy.
3 Information Sharing and Disclosure
We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers who perform essential functions on our behalf. These partners include payment processors, cloud hosting providers, data analytics services, customer relationship management platforms, and communication delivery services. Each provider is bound by contractual obligations to protect your data, use it solely for the specified purposes, and comply with applicable privacy regulations.
There are circumstances under which we may be required to disclose your information by law. This includes responding to valid subpoenas, court orders, regulatory inquiries, or other legal processes. We may also disclose information when we believe in good faith that doing so is necessary to protect our rights, enforce our terms of service, investigate potential fraud, or safeguard the safety of our users and the public.
GBH Insurance LLC does not sell, rent, or lease your personal information to unaffiliated third parties for their own marketing purposes. In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of the transaction, and you will be notified via email or a prominent notice on our website before your data becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
4 Data Security
We implement robust security measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols. Data at rest is protected using advanced encryption standards, and we maintain firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and regular vulnerability assessments to fortify our infrastructure.
Access to personal information is strictly limited to authorized personnel who require it to perform their job functions. We enforce role-based access controls, multi-factor authentication, and comprehensive audit logging to monitor and restrict data access. All employees and contractors undergo privacy and security training upon hire and on an ongoing basis to ensure they understand their responsibilities in protecting your data.
While we strive to maintain the highest security standards, no method of electronic storage or transmission is absolutely foolproof. In the unlikely event of a data breach that compromises your personal information, we will notify you promptly in accordance with applicable laws and take immediate steps to mitigate any potential harm. We also encourage you to adopt good security practices on your end, such as using strong passwords and keeping your login credentials confidential.
5 Your Rights and Choices

Upon receiving a verified request, we will provide you with a copy of your data in a structured and commonly used electronic format.

6 Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website uses several types of cookies to function properly and enhance your browsing experience. Strictly necessary cookies are essential for core features such as secure login, session management, and form submissions. Without these cookies, certain parts of our platform would not operate correctly. Performance and analytics cookies help us measure traffic, identify popular pages, and understand how visitors interact with our content so we can make data-driven improvements.
Functional cookies enable us to remember your preferences, such as language selection, region settings, and previously viewed products, providing a more personalized experience. Targeting and advertising cookies may be set by us or by third-party advertising networks to deliver relevant advertisements based on your browsing history and interests. These cookies do not store personal information directly but rely on uniquely identifying your browser and device.

7 Third-Party Services
Our platform may contain links to third-party websites, plugins, and services that are not owned or controlled by GBH Insurance LLC. These may include payment gateways, social media sharing buttons, embedded maps, or partner portals. When you click on these links or interact with these integrations, you may be directed to external sites that operate under their own privacy policies and terms of service.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of any third-party services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of every website you visit before providing any personal information. The inclusion of links to external sites does not constitute an endorsement of their practices, and we make no representations about the accuracy or reliability of the information found on those platforms.
Some third-party services we integrate with may collect data about your interactions even if you do not click on their links. For example, embedded content such as videos or social media feeds may function similarly to if you were visiting the third-party site directly. We strive to partner only with reputable service providers, but ultimately you should exercise your own judgment when engaging with any external content.

Parents and guardians who believe that their child may have submitted personal information to us should contact us promptly using the details in the Contact section below. We are committed to complying with the Childrens Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and all other applicable laws designed to protect the privacy of minors.
