Summary of this Privacy Notice

At Hagerty, we respect your privacy and your car skills. This page explains how we treat your information.

We do not ever sell your personal information to anybody. We will only disclose your information to hold up our responsibilities to you, to show you things that you might be interested in, or to customize your experience with us. You can make choices about how your information is collected and used.

We can only speak for ourselves, so this Privacy Notice does not apply to anybody else. This includes other products or websites that may be linked in our website.

Insurance Products and Services

If you already have an insurance policy with us or are thinking about it, you clearly have good taste. Please check out our Insurance Member Privacy Notice for additional specific insurance privacy rights.

International Data Transfers, EU-US Privacy Shield

The love of cars is international and so are we. We provide specific protections for any personal data received from the UK and Europe. Hagerty relies on Standard Contractual Clauses or derogations under the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) for any personal data transfers to the United States. Hagerty also participates in the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework (“Privacy Shield”) and has self-certified with the Department of Commerce that we follow the Privacy Shield Principles. To learn more about the Privacy Shield, visit the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Privacy Shield Information. Please see our Privacy Shield Notice to see the details on how Hagerty handles European data. If you have a privacy or data use concern that we have not satisfactorily addressed, please contact our U.S.-based third-party dispute resolution provider (free of charge) at https://feedback-form.truste.com/watchdog/request.

Co-Browsing Assistance

A helping hand is always nice, even if you’re just changing a flat. Hagerty offers a tool that allows our agents to see what you see online and walk you through any problems. We cannot see any of your personal or payment information, or any other web pages. Hagerty will not be able to control any actions on your end.

An affiliate is another member of the Hagerty family of companies. For example, Hagerty DriveShare is an affiliate of Hagerty Insurance Agency, LLC. If you purchase something from an affiliate of ours, we will need to collect some information. That information stays between us and our affiliate and is not shared with anybody else other than to fulfill our responsibility to you.

Your California Privacy Rights

You have several rights concerning your personal information. Specifically, you have the right:

  • To receive a copy of the information that we have collected from you or disclosed about you in the past 12 months;
  • To correct the information that we have;
  • To have your information deleted;
  • To opt-out of the sharing or selling of information. We do not sell any personal information. We only share personal information with third-parties to market directly to you if you either specifically opt-in or have the opportunity to opt-out and elect not to opt-out of that sharing. If you are under 16 years old, then you must opt-in to this type of sharing

We will not discriminate against any person exercising any of these rights. These rights may be limited by law.

We will need to verify your identity before fulfilling these requests.
