Privacy policy

What we collect when you use this website, what we do with it, and the choices you have. We do not sell your information. Effective November 12, 2026.

Who we are

Who this policy covers

This policy applies to bettersinsurance.com, which is operated by Nathan Betters Insurance Agency LLC ("Betters Insurance", "we", "us"), an independent insurance agency in Maplewood, Minnesota (NPN 17401760). It describes what happens to information you give us through this website. It works together with our terms and conditions.

If you become our client, we may give you a separate privacy notice about the nonpublic personal information we hold for your insurance, as insurance law requires. This page is about the website.

What we collect

Information you give us

We collect what you type into the forms on this website, and only when you send it. Depending on the form, that can include:

  • Contact details: name, email address, phone number, mailing and property addresses, and how you prefer to be contacted.
  • Quote details: what you want covered, effective and expiration dates, your current carrier and premium, and claims or loss history.
  • Personal insurance details: for example a home's age, construction and value, vehicles and drivers, travel dates and trip cost, and an applicant's date of birth where a home quote needs it.
  • Business details: business name, entity type, FEIN, revenue, payroll, employee counts, operations, contracts and similar underwriting information.
  • Documents you choose to attach: for example loss runs, appraisals, equipment lists or policy documents, in the formats the quote form accepts.
  • Messages: anything you write to us in the contact, certificate and policy change forms.

Please don't send Social Security numbers, bank or card numbers, or health information through the forms. If we need those, we'll tell you how to send them securely.

Automatic information

What the website records on its own

No tracking. This website does not use advertising cookies, analytics or tracking tools, and it does not follow you around the web.

Server records. Like most websites, the server that hosts this site keeps routine technical records, such as your IP address, the pages requested, the date and time, and your browser type. We use them to keep the site working and secure.

Your browser. While you fill in the quote form, your answers are held in your browser's temporary session storage so you don't lose them. They stay on your device and clear when you close the tab.

Save and finish later

Saved quote drafts

The quote form has a "Save and finish later" option. If you use it, we store your answers so far on our server and email you a private link that reopens the form. The link works for 30 days. Nothing is sent to the agency until you press Send on the finished form. Anyone with the link can open your draft, so treat it like a password and don't forward it.

How we use it

What we do with your information

  • To answer your question and prepare quotes, proposals and certificates.
  • To place, service and renew insurance for you, and to help with policy changes and claims.
  • To contact you about your request by email, phone or text where you've given us that number.
  • To keep records that insurance law and good practice require.
  • To protect the website and our business from fraud, abuse and security problems.

We do not use what you submit through this website to market other companies' products to you.

Who sees it

Who we share it with

We do not sell your personal information. We also do not share it with anyone for their own advertising. We share it only as needed to do what you ask:

  • Insurance companies and quoting platforms. To get you a quote or place coverage, we send the underwriting details they need to the carriers, managing general agents and online quoting platforms involved, such as the business quoting platform we link to.
  • Companies that help us run the agency. These include our agency management and client portal system, our website host, and our email provider. They may handle your information only to provide that service to us.
  • Companies behind the products we offer. For example, vehicle service contracts through Arkay and travel insurance. When you follow our link to them, you give them your information directly and their own policies apply.
  • The law. We may disclose information when a law, a court order, a regulator or a legitimate legal process requires it, or to protect rights, safety or property.
  • A change of ownership. If the agency's business were sold or merged, client records would transfer to the new owner under terms that protect them.

Other services

Outside services on this website

  • Google Fonts. Pages load their typefaces from Google, which means your browser contacts Google's servers and your IP address is visible to them.
  • Vehicle lookup. If you enter a VIN on the quote form, the VIN is sent to the US government's public vehicle database (NHTSA) so the form can fill in the vehicle details. We don't send your name or contact details with it.
  • Links to other sites. Our client portal, the online business application, the policy linking tool, and carrier and product sites are run by other companies. Their privacy practices apply once you leave this website.

Keeping it safe

Security and how long we keep it

We use reasonable safeguards for the information you send us, including secure connections to this website and restricted access to the stored submissions. No website or email transmission is perfectly secure, which is another reason to keep sensitive details off the forms.

We keep information as long as we need it to serve you, to meet insurance record-keeping requirements and to resolve disputes. After that we delete it or make it anonymous.

Your choices

Your rights

You can ask us to tell you what information we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it. Some information we have to keep by law or because it relates to a policy, and we'll tell you if that applies. You can also ask us to stop contacting you by email or phone.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under your state's privacy law. To make a request, call 612-438-3377 or email support@bettersinsurance.com. We may need to confirm who you are before we act on it.

The rest

Children and changes

Children. This website is for adults. It is not meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them.

Changes. We may update this policy. The effective date above shows the latest version, and we'll post any changes here.
