Privacy and Legal

One of our most valued trademarks at MJ Insurance is our integrity and recognizing the trust you place with us in representing your insurance needs. As such, we will have access to customer information which should be carefully protected and kept private.

Protecting your personal and business information and using it in a manner consistent with your expectations is a high priority for everyone associated with our firm. Each associate at MJ Insurance is required to sign a statement acknowledging the Privacy Statement of our firm.

Access to a client's personal information is restricted to personnel who have a legitimate need to have the information in providing services to our clients or conducting the business of MJ Insurance, which is accomplished by maintaining physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that meet or exceed applicable law.

Information which we may collect to procure and modify insurance coverage or to process claims for our clients include:

  • Information we receive from you on applications or other forms
  • Information about your transactions with us or other associated companies we serve as an agent/broker for your coverage
  • Information we receive from a consumer-reporting agency

We do not disclose any non-public personal or business information about our clients to non-affiliated third-parties, except as permitted by law. We do disclose non-public information, but only to the insurance companies our firm represents.

Our site may contain links to other websites. We have no control over the privacy practices or the content of any of our business partners or other sites that we may refer to as resources. Users should check the applicable privacy policies of the specific website when linking to other websites from the MJ Insurance website.

Like many other sites, our website may utilize a standard technology called a "cookie" to collect information about how our site is used. Cookies were designed to help a website recognize a user's browser as a previous visitor and, thus, save and remember any preferences that may have been set when the user was previously browsing the site. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive, pass on a computer virus or capture your email address. We only use cookies to gather information indicated in this policy and do not use cookies to gather personal identifying information about you without your consent.

We may perform statistical analyses of user behavior, which allows us to measure consumer interest in the various areas of our website. Any information we collect is used solely for internal purposes, to improve the content of the website, to enhance the user's experience when visiting our site, to customize the content and/or layout of our page and to provide the services required by an individual user. We do not use personal identifying information for any reason that is not either disclosed in this Statement or at the time the information is requested. There may be instances where you will have the opportunity to subscribe to an email list that will send information from our site, such as a newsletter.

In connection with the potential sale or transfer of its interests, MJ Insurance, Inc. reserves the right to sell or transfer your information (including but not limited to your name, address, age, sex, zip code, state and country residency and other information you provide through other communications) to a third party entity that (1) concentrates its business in a similar practice or service; (2) agrees to be MJ Insurance's successor in the interests with regard to the maintenance and protection of the information collected; and (3) agrees to the obligations of this Privacy Statement.

Fee and Commission Disclosure

We advocate complete disclosure regarding our sources of income to our clients. MJ Insurance may receive compensation in a number of ways: (1) as commissions paid by an insurer, calculated as a percentage of the premiums, or (2) as negotiated fees paid by the client in lieu of commissions. These commissions or fees received are for the placement/renewal of a client's insurance and risk management program and day-to-day servicing that MJ has agreed to provide on a client's behalf.

MJ Insurance may also receive payments from insurance carriers referred to as "contingent compensation," which are based upon factors that are not specific to a certain client. The elements that make these payments contingent are a number of variables:  premium growth, profitability, client persistency, etc. Furthermore, many factors including the type of client/industry and type of insurance are often excluded from potential payment.
