A helping hand is always nice, even if you’re just changing a flat. Hagerty offers a tool that allows our agents to see what you see online and walk you through any problems. We cannot see any of your personal or payment information, or any other web pages. Hagerty will not be able to control any actions on your end.

An affiliate is another member of the Hagerty family of companies. For example, Hagerty DriveShare is an affiliate of Hagerty Insurance Agency, LLC. If you purchase something from an affiliate of ours, we will need to collect some information. That information stays between us and our affiliate and is not shared with anybody else other than to fulfill our responsibility to you.

Your California Privacy Rights

You have several rights concerning your personal information. Specifically, you have the right:

• To receive a copy of the information that we have collected from you or disclosed about you in the past 12 months;
• To correct the information that we have;
• To have your information deleted;
• To opt-out of the sharing or selling of information. We do not sell any personal information. We only share personal information with third parties to market directly to you if you either specifically opt-in or have the opportunity to opt-out and elect not to opt-out of that sharing. If you are under 16 years old, then you must opt-in to this type of sharing.

We will not discriminate against any person exercising any of these rights. These rights may be limited by law. For example, we may not be able to delete your information so we can defend ourselves in a lawsuit. Some information, such as insurance information, may be exempt from these obligations. We will need to verify your identity before fulfilling these requests.

Please submit your request using Hagerty’s Privacy Request Form. You can open the form by clicking the button below, or you can call us at 800-922-4050 to make your request over the phone.

If we receive a “do not track” signal from your internet browser, we don’t currently change anything because professionals and lawmakers have not agreed on what can and should be done.

This Privacy Notice isn’t all original. We must modify it from time to time with aftermarket parts to keep up with the times. We will make big changes easy to find. If an update changes your rights, we will let you know directly. We keep old versions of this Notice archived.
