Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Customer data is stored securely in EZLynx.com’s systems, which follow industry-standard security practices. However, no data transmission or storage system is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.

We are committed to safeguarding your personal information against unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Your data is securely stored within EZLynx.com’s systems, which adhere to industry-standard security protocols. Furthermore, our website employs Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption to protect sensitive information—like your name, email, and phone number—during transmission. When you submit forms or interact with our site, SSL ensures that the data exchanged between your browser and our servers remains confidential and secure. While we strive to maintain robust security measures, please note that no method of data transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be entirely impervious to breaches.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, such as providing insurance quotes, managing customer relationships, or complying with legal obligations. For example, data collected through contact forms or stored in EZLynx.com may be kept for the duration of our business relationship with you and as required by applicable laws (e.g., tax or insurance regulations). Once your information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it in accordance with our data management practices.

Data Breach Notification

In the unlikely event of a data breach that compromises your personal information, we will promptly notify you and any applicable authorities as required by law. We will take reasonable steps to mitigate harm and investigate the incident, keeping you informed as necessary.
