5. Your Rights Under Arizona Law
Arizona residents have certain rights with respect to their personal information. While Arizona has not enacted a comprehensive consumer data privacy act equivalent to California’s CCPA, the following rights and protections apply under Arizona law:
5.1 Arizona Data Breach Notification (A.R.S. § 18-552)
In the event of a security breach involving your personal information, we are required by Arizona law to notify you in the most expedient manner possible and without unreasonable delay, consistent with A.R.S. § 18-552. Notification will be provided by email, written notice, or, where required, through substitute notice procedures.
5.2 Arizona Consumer Fraud Act (A.R.S. § 44-1521 et seq.)
We do not engage in deceptive, unfair, or misleading practices in connection with the collection or use of your personal information. Any material misrepresentation regarding data practices would constitute a violation of the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act.
5.3 Insurance Privacy Regulations
As an entity operating in connection with an insurance agency, we adhere to Arizona Department of Insurance requirements and applicable provisions of the GLBA, including the requirement to provide you with a clear privacy notice and opt-out rights with respect to certain information sharing with nonaffiliated third parties.

6. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as for tax, legal, or accounting purposes). When your information is no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymize it.
