We value you, respect your privacy, and work hard to protect your personal information. Your use of the website or mobile app indicates that you agree to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use.
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information collected and used when you visit our website, and from your interaction with any other TWFG product or offering, such as by requesting a quote or purchasing and insurance policy.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and protect your personal information. Non-public personal information is information that identifies an individual which is not made available to the public. This information can be collected by an institution from consumer provided information, customer transactions, or providing a product/service.
What information do we collect?
We collect personal information about you in order to provide desired products and services. We use this information to give you more information about TWFG and its agents, provide quotes, issue policies, assist with and file claims, or to communicate with you about your account, policy, or service. The information we collect varies with the services and products you choose to contact us about or purchase from us. TWFG will collect personal information only in accordance with applicable laws or regulations or in response to your request for a product or service from us.
TWFG collects and uses personal information about you from information you provide to TWFG, or to our agents on applications, and in other communications (such as your name, address, telephone number, email address, birth date, driver’s license or state identification number, vehicle identification number, social security number, employment history, or education history); information from your transactions with us (such as your insurance policy number, payment history, billing address, underwriting and claim documents, telephone or voice recordings); and information from non-affiliated companies such as insurance companies, insurance underwriters, and public record databases (such as your claims history, credit reports or consumer history, court records, or arrest records). We may review insurance claims information and other loss information reports, and we may also obtain medical or financial information in relation to some types of policies.
How do we protect your information?
TWFG maintains physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards designed to protect your personal information. Only authorized representatives, employees, insurance agents and administrators are permitted to have access to that information. Access is restricted to those individuals who need to do their job or use that information to provide products or services to you.
However, no website, app, database, or system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You also have a responsibility to take reasonable measures to protect your personal information and account information, and to not share your password with anyone.
What Information We May Disclose and To Whom We May Disclose
We do not sell your information to anyone. We do not disclose any personal information about our customers or former customers, except as permitted by law. TWFG may disclose the information we collect about you in order to deliver products and services to you, provide customer service, handle claims, protect against fraud, review claims history or administer your policy. For these purposes, we may share your personal information with insurance companies, insurance brokers, your agent, your mortgagee, our affiliated companies and others who provide services for your policy or claim. We engage third-parties to act as our service providers and perform certain tasks on our behalf in connection with delivering our products and services to you, such as processing and storing personal information, assisting with marketing, communications and advertising, processing credit card or other financial charges and providing technology services. We also may disclose information to credit bureaus or in response to subpoenas, law enforcement agencies, and other state agencies. Our business partners are legally bound to protect your nonpublic personal information.
For Employees, Branch Owners and Other Service Providers
This Privacy Policy also applies to current and prospective TWFG employees, Branch owners and other service providers. We may collect personal information (such as your birth date, social security number, driver’s license or state identification number, credit reports, or arrest records) and professional or educational information that you share with us to apply for a career with TWFG and to provide support with insurance licensing. We may use the personal information that we collect about you, or that you provide to us, to process applications and to protect the rights or property of TWFG, its clients, employees, Branches and others.
