Privacy Policy

01Who we are and what this policy covers

This Privacy Policy explains how Gaskivo, a brand of The Nelson M Group LLC ("Gaskivo," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects personal details when you visit gaskivo.com (the "Site"), submit a form, sign up for email or text-message updates, or get in touch (together, the "Services"). The Nelson M Group LLC is the business responsible for your personal details.

Gaskivo is an information service that publishes plain-language educational content about how insurance works, how to read a policy, and what tends to affect insurance costs, and lets visitors opt in to related updates by email or text. Gaskivo does not sell insurance, give quotes or rates, or match or refer people to agents or insurers. Gaskivo is not an insurance company, agency, or broker and does not provide insurance, legal, or financial advice. Choosing a policy is always your own decision.

Using the Services means you acknowledge this Policy. If it does not suit you, please do not use the Services.

02Information we collect

Topic and insurance-related data. The topic you select (say, "reading my policy" or "what affects what drivers pay") may suggest an interest in a financial area. We treat this as sensitive. Please do not send us policy numbers, driver's license numbers, vehicle identification numbers, claim details, Social Security numbers, or other detailed personal or financial information through our forms or by text. We do not need it.

We never knowingly ask for Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, or government ID numbers.

03How we use your information

• To provide the Services you request, like sending you educational insurance details on the topics you choose.
• To deliver the email and text messages you opted in to, including confirmations, reminders, and notices about new educational guides.
• To honor your choices, for example opt-outs, unsubscribes, and privacy requests.
• To keep records of your consent, as needed or recommended under laws and carrier rules for text messaging.
• To respond to your inquiries and offer support.
• To retain the Site working, safe, and improving, and to stop fraud, spam, and abuse.
• To follow the law and enforce our Terms & Conditions.

We do not use your details to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you, and we do not make insurance, eligibility, or pricing determinations about you.

04How we share information

We do not sell your personal data. We do not "share" it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

No sharing of mobile information for marketing. We do not share your mobile phone number, text-message opt-in data, or consent records with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes. No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text-messaging originator opt-in data and consent are not shared with any third parties except as described in this section.

No partner sharing. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data, like your name, contact details, ZIP code, or interests, with insurance companies, agents, brokers, comparison or quote sites, recruiters, lead-generation companies, or any other third-party partners, and we are not paid by anyone for your details. We share information only in these limited situations:

• Service providers. Vendors that act on our behalf and under contract, for example website hosting, email delivery, customer-relationship software, form processing, and SMS platforms and the carriers or aggregators that deliver text messages. They may use your information only to supply services to us, and not for their own marketing.
• Legal and safety. When required by law, subpoena, or legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, and property of you, us, or others.
• Business transfers. If The Nelson M Group LLC is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this Policy. Mobile opt-in data will not be transferred to a buyer for its own marketing without your consent.
• De-identified or aggregate data. We may use details that cannot reasonably identify you for analysis and reporting.

05Text messaging (SMS)

If you opt in, we send text messages for the program Gaskivo Garage Dispatch. We use your mobile number only to deliver those messages and to administer the program. See our SMS Terms for message types, frequency, costs, and how to opt out.

• Text consent is optional and is not a condition of purchase or of using the Services.
• Educational text consent is collected through a separate, unchecked box.
• Reply STOP at any time to opt out. Reply HELP for help.
• Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.

06Text messages: rates, frequency, STOP and HELP

Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency may vary (up to about 8 messages a month, depending on the topics you choose). Text START to join, or opt in with the form on our Get Started or text updates page. Consent is not a condition of purchase or of using the Services.

• STOP: Reply STOP to any message to opt out (STOPALL, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, END and QUIT also work). You will get one confirmation text and then no more messages.
• HELP: Reply HELP to any message for help, or contact us by email at [email protected] or by phone at 888-924-0798.

Mobile information and text-message opt-in data are not sold or shared. We do not sell, rent, or share mobile phone numbers, text-message opt-in data, or consent records with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Service providers (such as our messaging platform and carriers) may handle this information only to deliver messages and operate the program for us.

07Cookies, analytics, and similar technologies

Only the cookies and similar tools the Site needs to work and stay secure are used. Fonts and images are served from our own site rather than from third parties. No advertising or cross-site tracking cookies are used.

If we enable privacy-focused analytics in the future (for example, counts of page views), we will use it only to understand how the Site performs, and we will update this section. You can control cookies through your browser settings. We follow the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as a request to opt out of sale or sharing where applicable. Because we never sell or share personal details, there is nothing additional to opt out of.

08Your choices

• Text messages: reply STOP to any text.
• Email: use the unsubscribe link in any email or write to [email protected].
• Update or correct your information: contact us at the address below.
• Delete your information: let us know, and we'll erase it unless we need to keep it for the reasons described under "Retention."

Opting out of one channel does not opt you out of others. Tell us if you'd like to opt out of everything.

09Retention

We retain personal data only as long as needed for the uses in this Policy, among them to honor opt-outs and to meet legal and recordkeeping obligations. As a general guide:

• Contact details and preferences: until you request deletion or you have been inactive for 24 months, whichever comes first.
• Text-message consent records and opt-out records: kept for at least 4 years after your last interaction, so we can show you consented and respect your opt-out.
• Support messages: up to 3 years.
• Server logs: up to 12 months.

When no longer needed, we delete or de-identify information.

10Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, among them encryption in transit (HTTPS), access controls, and vendor due diligence. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Text messages are not encrypted, so we ask that you never reply with sensitive personal or policy information.

11Your privacy rights (California and other states)

Depending on where you live (including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Virginia), you may have the right to:

We make no such disclosures. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of anyone under 16.

Nevada residents may submit a request to opt out of the sale of covered data. We do not sell covered details.
