At Vendex, we take your privacy seriously. We
believe you have the right to know the privacy policies of the sites you
visit.
How does Vendex use my information?
Vendex uses your personal information to prepare an insurance
quote for you. Unless you expressly give us permission to do so, or unless
required by law, Vendex does not willfully use or disclose individual
information to third parties, other than as necessary to facilitate the
process of obtaining insurance for you. However, in the future we may
share aggregated statistical information about the use of the Vendex web
site with third parties. Even in this case, individual users' personal
information will not be identified.
When do you send my information to an insurance
company?
Vendex will send your personal information to insurance
companies only if and when you choose to apply for coverage, or when you
ask us to seek a preliminary opinion from an insurance carrier regarding
your potential insurability or lack thereof.
Why does Vendex's quote request form require so
much personal information?
Vendex's database contains information on many life insurance
products offered by life insurance companies. Each company uses different
criteria to rate prospective customers. The information you provide on the
quote request form, combined with each insurance company's guidelines
allows us to accurately determine which products and rate classes you'll
likely be able to qualify for. The consequence of declining to provide
some of the requested information is that the quotes you receive may be
inaccurate, and/or that we may not be able to provide a quote for you at
all.
After I request quotes at Vendex, who will
contact me?
You may be contacted by one of our people to clarify some of
the information you provide to us on your quote request form. Once we have
adequate information to provide you with a reasonably accurate quote, we
will prepare it for you and you will receive it by fax, mail, phone, or
email.
Does Vendex sell my information to other
companies?
No. Vendex does not resell, trade, lease or rent the personal
information of our customers to other companies.
Does Vendex store my personal information?
Yes. All information submitted through Vendex's quote request
forms is stored in our computers in North Vancouver, British Columbia
and/or printed and stored in files. Vendex does not use this information
except to process your request to provide quotes, or to forward it to an
insurance company if and when you actually apply for coverage. This
information is securely stored at our company for a reasonable period of
time in order to make it easier and more convenient for you to come back.
