How We Use Your Information

Your Choice: We (and third-party insurance companies whom we consider to be trustworthy in their noted business practices) may use the information you submit on this website to provide you with requested insurance information or to share additional products or services that could be of interest to you.

If you do not wish to receive offers for additional products or services, you should not provide personal information or contact information through this website. If you have already provided profile data or contact information, you may review our “Choices You Have Regarding Your Information” section below or even learn how you can opt-out from receiving special offers from eFinancial in the future.

Insurance Quote Form: Our website features a brief form you can complete to view rates from various insurance companies. If you provide contact information (such as your email or phone number), we view this as your express invitation that we should contact you about insurance even if you are on the state or federal “Do Not Call” list.

Insurance Application Request Form: Our Insurance Application Request Form allows you to request an application online for insurance coverage. This form collects additional contact, medical and lifestyle information that is required whenever you buy life insurance. When you buy a policy through eFinancial.com, we act as the agent for the insurance company to which the application is sent. We send the customer information that your selected insurance company may require to process the application and service the policy. In addition, we may use such information to offer you (our customer) other related products or services.

How Insurance Carriers Use Your Information

The insurance companies use personally identifiable information to determine your final insurance eligibility and rates. Insurance underwriting criteria may vary for each participating insurance company, and each company may place a different emphasis and priority on specific information on your application.

We may also contact you by email to verify information, to assist you with your life insurance application request or policy, to conduct surveys and to provide you with additional insurance information, service announcements, special offers or other money-saving opportunities.

eFinancial’s Marketing Practices

eFinancial.com works with advertising companies and other marketers to promote our service. We work to ensure that companies advertising for us follow applicable legal and ethical guidelines. We do not tolerate any SPAM, unauthorized or unethical emailing marketing of any kind. Before working with an advertiser, we require that their email lists have all been generated by people opting in to receive offers and that they maintain an “Opt-Out”/”Remove List”. If you believe that you have received one of our emails, and you did not “Opt In” to receive these offers, please forward the email to Marketing@eFinancial.com. We will take the necessary action to resolve the matter.
