Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how The Burks Agency collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our website or contact us.
Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly, such as your name, phone number, email address, mailing or property address, details about what you want to insure, and any message you send us. When you visit the site, we may also automatically collect limited technical information such as your device type, browser, and usage data through cookies and similar technologies.
How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- respond to your inquiries and prepare insurance quotes;
- contact you by phone, email, or text about your request and coverage;
- place and service coverage with our partner carriers;
- improve our website and services;
- comply with legal and regulatory obligations.
Text Messaging (SMS) and Your Consent
If you opt in to text messages, we use your mobile number to send messages related to your quotes, policies, and service. Message frequency varies, and message and data rates may apply. You can reply STOP to opt out at any time or HELP for help.
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text-messaging opt-in data and consent are not shared with any third parties. We may share information with service providers who help us operate (for example, customer service or message delivery) solely to provide those services to us.

Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data Retention
We keep your information for as long as needed to provide our services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
Your Choices
You may opt out of marketing communications at any time, including replying STOP to text messages or contacting us directly. You may also request to access or correct the personal information we hold about you.
