For Residents of Arizona, California, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, New Jersey, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, and Virginia
These states require insurers and agents to provide both a Privacy Notice and a description of our information practices. While the two are similar, here is a summary of our information practices:
- Information we collect. We may collect information about you and others applying for insurance. Some of this information comes directly from you, and some may come from other sources.
- How we use and share information. We may share the information we collect with third parties such as our agents, affiliates, service providers, and others as allowed by law. In some cases, we may need your specific authorization before sharing.
- Your rights. Depending on your state, you may have the right to access, correct, and in some cases delete inaccurate information about you. These rights generally do not apply to information related to insurance claims or legal proceedings.
- Our response. If you submit a request to exercise your rights, we will respond within 30 days. We may deny your request if the information is accurate, legally required, needed to protect our legal interests, or otherwise permitted by law. If we deny your request, you may have the right to submit a written statement explaining why you disagree.

STATE-SPECIFIC DISCLOSURES
We collect, use, and store your personal information as required by federal privacy laws. If your state’s laws give you stronger privacy protections than federal law, we will follow those state requirements as well.
YOUR AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED
For residents of Arizona, California, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, and Virginia:
We do not share your personal information with companies outside our family of companies (and in some cases, even with our Affiliates) unless they are our agents or service providers, you give us permission, or the law allows us to do so. You have the right to authorize or not authorize this sharing of personal information.
FOR VERMONT CUSTOMERS
We do not share information about your creditworthiness with our affiliates. We also do not share your personal, financial, credit, or health information with companies outside of Hagerty so they can market to you—unless Vermont law allows it or you give us permission.

FOR NEW MEXICO “PROTECTED PERSONS”
New Mexico law, through the Domestic Abuse Insurance Protection Act (DAIPA), gives extra protections to people who are victims of domestic abuse.
What is “confidential abuse information”?
This means information related to acts of domestic abuse or a person’s status as a victim of abuse. It also includes a victim’s home or work address, phone number, and information about people closely connected to the victim.
Who is a “protected person”?
A “protected person” is someone who is a victim of domestic abuse and is also one of the following:
- The named insured on a property or casualty policy
- The owner of a policy
- An applicant for a policy, a claimant under a policy, or someone seeking coverage under a policy covered by DAIPA
- A person or organization that provides shelter, advocacy, protection, or counseling to abuse victims
How to designate yourself as a protected person:
- If you are a policyholder, call us at 855-430-5310.
- If you are a claimant, notify your claim handler.
Your protected status will stay in place until you change it.
Our responsibilities:
We have procedures in place to prevent the illegal or unauthorized disclosure of confidential abuse information. Even during a claim investigation (which insurers are still permitted to conduct), we must take steps to safeguard this information. Confidential abuse information can sometimes be received from people other than the victim, but “protected persons” have the right to access and request corrections to any such information we maintain.

- the right to opt-out of our sale of your personal information or sharing for cross-contextual behavioral advertising purposes, if we sell your personal information or share it for those purposes.
- the right to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information we have collected about you to only those purposes necessary to provide our services.
CCPA rights are limited and do not apply to any of the personal information (described on Page 1) that we have collected from you and about you in connection with providing you an insurance or financial product or service.
The personal information we collect that is subject to the CCPA includes some of your internet and network activity (such as your browsing history, Internet Protocol address and interactions with our website) and inferences drawn about you from this information, such as your preferences, aptitudes and abilities.
