How The Scheiderich Agency collects, uses, and protects your information.
The Scheiderich Agency ("we," "our," or "us") is a licensed insurance agency located at 60 W Park St, Buford, Georgia 30518. We are committed to protecting the privacy of visitors to our website. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you.
By using this website, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the site.
When you submit a contact form, request a quote, or otherwise reach out to us through this website, we may collect:
We do not collect sensitive personal information such as Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, or health information through this website.
Our life insurance pages ask only for your name, phone number, email address, the best time to reach you, and the type of coverage you'd like to discuss. Submissions are stored in our agency's Google Workspace account and emailed to the agent you contacted. We do not collect health information through these forms.
If you consent to be contacted by text when submitting a form, we may text you about your inquiry. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP at any time to opt out.
Some links and QR codes we share include a short code identifying where you found them, such as a flyer or a social media post. That code is saved with your submission and used only to understand which of our outreach is working.
Our life insurance calculator is a client-side tool. The information you enter — such as income, debt amounts, and household details — is processed entirely in your browser to generate an estimate. This information is not transmitted to or stored on our servers unless you subsequently submit a contact form.
When you visit our website, certain information is collected automatically through analytics tools and standard web server technology, including:
Information you provide through our contact forms is used to:
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. We do not use your information to send unsolicited commercial communications unrelated to your inquiry.
We work with referral partners — real estate agents, mortgage lenders, closing attorneys, and similar businesses — who send us the contact details of people who may need insurance. This section explains how we handle that information, because it works differently from the rest of this policy: the person it describes did not give it to us themselves.
When a referral partner submits a referral through one of our referral pages, we collect the following about the prospective client:
We also collect the referring partner's name, company, and email address.
If you are the person named in a referral, this information came from the partner who referred you, not from you. At the point of submission, that partner confirms they have your permission to share your contact information for the purpose of being contacted about insurance.
If you did not give that permission, or you would simply prefer we not hold your information, see Removing Referral Information below.
We use it for one purpose: to prepare an insurance quote and contact the referred person about coverage. We do not sell it. We do not share it except as necessary to obtain quotes from insurance carriers, which is the same handling any quote request receives.
Referral information is stored in a private spreadsheet that is not publicly viewable and is accessible only to agency staff. Within the agency, it is available to the assigned licensed agent, the agency principal, and agency administrative staff.
If you were referred to us and want your information removed, call us at 770-268-4418 or email [email protected] and ask. We will remove it from our records. You do not need to give a reason.
Partners receive status updates on referrals they submitted — that a referral was received, quoted, or bound. They do not receive the client's policy details, premium, or coverage specifics. Those remain between the client and the agency.
Referral pages may include a tracking code in the web address (for example, ?p=partner-code) so that referrals are attributed to the partner who sent them. These codes identify the referring business, not the client, and are not used to track individual browsing behavior.
We use third-party analytics services — including but not limited to Google Analytics and other website analytics platforms — to understand how visitors use our website. These services may collect information about your browsing behavior on our site and across other websites.
Analytics data is used in aggregate to improve our website content, understand which pages are most useful to visitors, and measure the effectiveness of our online presence. We do not use analytics data to identify individual visitors for marketing purposes.
Third-party analytics providers operate under their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any analytics providers whose practices concern you. Google's privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy.
You may opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
