Improvements to our Privacy Policy and Privacy Controls

Google
Updating Our Privacy Policy
This month, we're updating our Privacy Policy to make it easier for you to understand what information we collect and why we collect it. We've also taken steps to improve our Privacy Checkup and other controls we provide to safeguard your data and protect your privacy.
Nothing is changing about your current settings or how your information is processed. Rather, we've improved the way we describe our practices and how we explain the options you have to update, manage, export, and delete your data.
We're making these updates as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) takes effect across the European Union. Designed to harmonize privacy laws across Europe, the GDPR refines the transparency rules for how companies describe their data processing. We're making some required updates to our Privacy Policy, and we're taking the opportunity to make improvements for Google users around the world.
Making our Privacy Policy easier to understand
Simpler structure & clearer language
Simpler structure & clearer language
We've improved the navigation and organization of the policy to make it easier to find what you're looking for. We've also explained our practices in more detail and with clearer language.
New descriptive videos & illustrations
New descriptive videos & illustrations
Often a visual description is easier to understand than text alone, so we've added short videos and illustrations throughout the policy.
Embedded privacy controls
Embedded privacy controls
We've made it easier to jump to key settings directly from the policy, helping you make choices about your privacy.
The revised policy is available here and will take effect on May 25, 2018.
Improving your privacy controls
Within the past year, we updated My Activity so that you can better access and manage the data in your Google Account. We also launched a redesigned Dashboard, which allows you to easily see an overview of products you're using and your data associated with them.
This month, we've updated our Privacy Checkup with new illustrations and examples to help you make more informed choices about your key privacy controls. And since we understand that your preferences may change over time, the new Privacy Checkup enables you to sign up for regular reminders to check your privacy settings.
To learn more about these and other controls to manage your privacy, visit your Google Account.

13 Minutes Could Improve Your Carrier Relationships (and Grow Your Business)

Insurance Journal Reader:

Independent agents, you've spent years building your business by getting appointments. Your success depends on the quality of your carriers.

Here's your chance to anonymously tell carriers what you need from them to write and renew business more efficiently and profitably. Take the Agent Voices 2018 survey, co-sponsored by Insurance Journal and Channel Harvest Research.

Each year, Channel Harvest asks carriers of all types and sizes to help design the survey. Carriers want to know what's most important to agents and how their top carriers are performing in those areas – including quoting, underwriting, claims, compensation, marketing and training.

Complete the survey, which only will take about 13 minutes, and receive a free summary of the findings. While your responses are completely confidential, you can choose to enter a drawing for an Amazon Echo by providing your email address.

Thanks for joining us in this important research effort to strengthen agent-carrier relationships.
