Privacy Policy
What information VistaCover collects, why, who processes it, and the choices you have.
This policy explains what information vistacover.com (the "Site") collects, how it's used, and your choices. If you have questions, use the form at the bottom of any page or the contact page.
Information we collect
Information you send through our forms. Every page has a short form for questions, corrections, and topic suggestions. When you use it, we receive your name, email address, the topic you choose, your message, and the page you sent it from. Forms are processed by Formspree, a third-party form service, which delivers your message to us by email and stores it on its systems under its own privacy policy and security practices.
Email. If you email us directly, we receive your email address and anything you include.
Technical information. Our hosting provider may automatically log basic technical data, such as IP address, browser type, pages requested, and referring page, for security and to keep the Site running. Form submissions may also include technical data, such as IP address, that Formspree uses to filter spam.
Fonts. Our web fonts load from Google Fonts, which may receive your IP address when fonts load.
How we use information
- To read and reply to your message.
- To correct errors and improve our articles.
- To protect the Site and our forms from spam and abuse.
- To comply with legal obligations.
We don't use your message to sell or market insurance or financial products, and we don't give advice in response to messages.
What we don't do
- We don't sell personal information.
- We don't share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
- We don't sell or pass leads to insurers, agents, brokers, lenders, or financial firms.
- We don't use advertising cookies or tracking pixels.
- We don't knowingly collect information from children under 13. The Site is intended for adults.
Please don't send sensitive information
Don't include Social Security numbers, policy or account numbers, health or medical details, or other sensitive information in messages. If you do, we'll delete it when we notice it.
Service providers
We use a small number of providers to run the Site: a web hosting provider, Formspree for form handling, and an email provider. They process information on our behalf to provide their services.
How long we keep information
We keep messages only as long as needed to respond, to keep a record of corrections, and for reasonable recordkeeping, generally no longer than 24 months, unless the law requires otherwise. Formspree and our hosting provider keep data under their own retention policies.
Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, including California, Washington, and other states with consumer privacy laws, you may have the right to:
- know what personal information we hold about you and how it's used;
- get a copy of it;
- correct it;
- delete it;
- opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (we don't sell or share it).
To make a request, use the contact page or see your privacy choices. We'll verify your request using the email address you used with us and respond within the time required by law. We won't discriminate against you for exercising your rights. If we deny a request, you may be able to appeal by replying to our response.
Security
We use reasonable measures to protect information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
International visitors
The Site is operated from the United States and intended for U.S. readers. If you contact us from elsewhere, your information will be processed in the United States.
