Privacy Policy

What Information We Collect

Carry Shield Quote collects minimal data. Here's what we do track:

Quiz Answers (Client-Side Only)

When you take our concealed carry insurance quiz, your answers are processed in your browser only. We do not send your quiz responses to our servers.

• The quiz is a tool to help you self-select appropriate insurance categories
• Your answers are not transmitted anywhere
• Closing your browser clears your quiz data

Google Analytics (Aggregated, Anonymous)

We use Google Analytics to understand which pages you visit, how long you stay, and where you go next. This helps us improve the site.

• Analytics data is aggregated and anonymous (we see page views, not individual users)
• We do not link analytics to your identity
• You can opt out by installing the Google Analytics opt-out extension

Affiliate Link Tracking

When you click a link to an insurance provider, we track which provider you clicked. This allows us to:

• Report commission attribution to our affiliate partners
• See which insurers are most popular with our visitors
• Improve our recommendations over time

Affiliate click tracking is standard industry practice and necessary for us to earn commissions that keep this site free.

What We Do NOT Collect

• No Account Creation: You don't need to sign up or create an account
• No Payment Information: We never collect payment details directly. (Your bank/card info is handled by the insurance provider's checkout, not us.)
• No Personal Identifying Information: We don't ask for your name, address, phone number, or email on this site
• No Health Information: We don't collect medical or health history
• No Location Tracking: We don't use geolocation APIs or track your exact location
• No Personal Data Stored on Our Servers: If you interact with this site, we have no persistent profile of you

Cookies & Local Storage

We use minimal cookies and browser storage:

Google Analytics Cookies

Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser to track pageviews and basic user behavior. These are first-party analytics cookies and do not store personal data.

Affiliate Tracking

Our affiliate partners may set cookies in your browser to attribute sales back to our site if you complete a purchase. This is standard affiliate practice.

No Third-Party Tracking (Except Analytics)

We do not use retargeting pixels, lead-gen tracking, or behavioral advertising cookies beyond what Google Analytics provides.

Privacy Inquiries & Data Requests

Since we don't store personal data on our servers, there's nothing to export or delete. However, if you have privacy questions or concerns:

Email: contact@carryshieldquote.com

We'll respond within 24 hours.

Google's Privacy Policy

Affiliate Partners

When you click through to an insurance provider, you're leaving our site. Their privacy policies apply to any data you provide them.

Data Security

This site uses HTTPS (SSL/TLS encryption) for all traffic. Our infrastructure is hosted on Cloudflare Pages, which includes DDoS protection and security auditing.

Since we don't store sensitive personal data, the primary security concern is protecting the integrity of our content and affiliate links.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights around:

• Accessing data we hold about you (if any)
• Requesting deletion of your data
• Opting out of analytics tracking
• Requesting we stop processing your data

Since we don't store personal data beyond what Google Analytics provides, most of these requests don't apply. Contact us at contact@carryshieldquote.com if you have specific concerns.

Policy Changes

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes take effect immediately upon posting. We recommend reviewing this policy periodically.
