Privacy Policy.

Who we are

Whitworth Horn and Goetten Insurance Agency is an independent insurance agency serving Jersey County and Greene County, Illinois, with offices in Jerseyville and Carrollton. In this policy, "we," "us," and "our" refer to the agency. You can reach us any time at (618) 498-5508 or through our contact page.

Information we collect

We collect two kinds of information:

• Information you give us. When you fill out a form on this site or call the office, you may share your name, phone number, email address, and details about the coverage you are asking about. You choose what to share, and we only ask for what we need to help you.
• Information collected automatically. Like most websites, ours records basic, non-identifying analytics through our website provider, such as which pages are viewed, the general region a visit comes from, and the type of device and browser used. This helps us understand what is useful and keep the site working. It is not used to identify you personally.

How we use your information

We use the information you share to respond to your questions, prepare and compare quotes, service the policies we place for you, and keep in touch about your coverage. We use the automatic analytics only to understand and improve the website. We do not sell or rent your personal information to anyone.

When we share information

We share your information only as needed to do the work you have asked us to do. That can include sending your details to insurance companies when you ask us to shop, quote, or bind coverage on your behalf, and working with the service providers that help us run the office and this website. We may also share information when the law or a regulator requires it. We do not sell your information.

Cookies and analytics

This site uses a first-party analytics tool to count visits and measure general usage. It does not build an advertising profile of you. You can set your browser to refuse cookies or to warn you before accepting them, and most browsers let you turn on a "Do Not Track" signal. Blocking cookies will not stop you from using the site or contacting us.

How long we keep it

We keep the information you share only as long as we need it to serve you and to meet the record-keeping rules that apply to an insurance agency. When it is no longer needed for those purposes, we dispose of it responsibly.

Your choices

You can ask us what information we have about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete information we are not required to keep. You can also tell us to stop contacting you for anything other than servicing a policy you hold. To make any of these requests, call the office at (618) 498-5508 or reach out through our contact page.

How we protect your information

We use reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect the information in our care. No method of storing or sending information is perfectly secure, but we work to keep your details protected and shared only with the people who need them to help you.

Children's privacy

This website is meant for adults seeking insurance and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us information, call us and we will remove it.

Links to other sites

Our site links to outside resources, such as government agencies and insurance companies, to be helpful. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any site you visit.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the date at the top of this page. Using the site after an update means you accept the current version.

Contact us

If you have any question about this policy or about how your information is handled, call Whitworth Horn and Goetten Insurance Agency at (618) 498-5508, stop by the Jerseyville or Carrollton office, or send a note through our contact page. We are glad to talk it through.
