Effective Date: August 31, 2026
Fortis Insurance Associates, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company, respects your privacy and believes you should understand what information is collected through our website, why we collect it, and how it is used. This Privacy Policy describes our practices for information collected through https://www.myfortis.com/ and related website marketing activities.

This Privacy Policy does not govern personal information collected or received in connection with insurance brokerage, employee benefits consulting, coverage applications, underwriting, plan administration, claims, loss control, client services, employment, or other services provided outside the public website. Those activities may be subject to separate agreements, authorizations, carrier or service-provider notices, and federal or state insurance and privacy laws.
Fortis Insurance Associates does not sell insurance or accept insurance applications or payments through this website. Our website forms are intended for general inquiries and marketing-related communications.

Approximate location derived from an Internet Protocol address
Browser, operating system, device, and network information
Referring website or traffic source
Pages viewed, site paths, and dates and times of visits

3. Cookies and Squarespace Analytics
Our website is hosted by Squarespace and uses Squarespace Analytics. Squarespace uses necessary cookies to operate the website and analytics or performance cookies to help us understand traffic sources, visits, page views, and visitor interactions.
Squarespace currently identifies unique visitors using cookies that may remain on a device for up to two years and identifies individual browsing sessions using cookies that expire after approximately 30 minutes. Cookie duration and functionality are controlled by Squarespace and may change.
You can generally review, block, or delete cookies through your browser settings. Restricting cookies may affect certain website functions and may reduce the accuracy of our analytics. For more information about Squarespace's practices, please review the Squarespace Privacy Policy and Squarespace cookie information.
4. Please Do Not Submit Sensitive Information
Our public website forms are not designed to collect or transmit sensitive personal information. Please do not submit Social Security numbers, dates of birth, driver's license information, financial account information, health or medical information, prescription or benefits information, claims details, payroll information, consumer-report information, beneficiary information, or other sensitive records through a general website form.
Fortis Insurance Associates may handle certain sensitive or insurance-related information when providing services to clients, but that information is received and safeguarded through systems and processes separate from this public website. If you believe you submitted sensitive information through the website unintentionally, please contact us promptly using the information below.
5. How We Use Information
We may use information collected through the website to:
Operate, maintain, protect, and improve the website
Respond to questions and contact requests
Deliver a resource or other information you request
Communicate with you about a requested resource or your business needs
Follow up about commercial insurance or employer-sponsored employee benefits services
Send educational or promotional communications when the applicable form clearly explains that use
Organize, segment, or prioritize marketing leads based on professional interests, company characteristics, or engagement
Measure website traffic and marketing performance
Detect, investigate, and address security incidents, fraud, misuse, or technical problems
Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights, safety, property, and operations
We do not use website information to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about individuals.
6. Marketing Communications
When a website form also enrolls you in ongoing marketing communications, we will disclose that use at the point of collection. Marketing emails will include an unsubscribe option. You may also ask us to stop sending marketing communications by contacting us at robin@myfortis.com.
An unsubscribe request will stop promotional emails, but we may still send non-promotional communications that respond to your inquiry or relate to an existing business relationship. We may retain limited information on a suppression list to ensure that we continue to honor your request.
7. How We Disclose Information
Fortis Insurance Associates does not sell or rent personal information. We do not disclose personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising or use it to create targeted advertising audiences.
We may disclose information in the following limited circumstances:
Website and Service Providers
Squarespace processes information to host and operate the website, provide website forms, maintain security, and provide analytics. Squarespace may also process certain automatically collected information for its own purposes, as described in its privacy policy.
Email and communications providers transmit website form submissions to Fortis Insurance Associates. Contracted marketing vendors may access information when reasonably necessary to maintain the website, evaluate marketing performance, or perform services for Fortis Insurance Associates. We do not authorize these providers to sell personal information or use it to advertise their own products or services on our behalf.
Insurance-Market Participants
If you choose to move beyond a general website inquiry and ask Fortis Insurance Associates to explore or provide insurance or employee benefits services, relevant information may be disclosed to insurers, wholesalers, benefits administrators, third-party administrators, claims professionals, consultants, or other insurance-market participants after we receive your express verbal or written authorization, or as otherwise permitted or required by law. Information collected and used in providing those services falls outside the website-marketing scope of this Privacy Policy and may be subject to separate notices or agreements.
Legal, Safety, and Security Purposes
We may disclose information when we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to comply with law, legal process, or a government request, or to investigate fraud, security incidents, misuse, or threats to the rights, safety, property, or operations of Fortis Insurance Associates or others.
Business Transactions
Information may be disclosed as part of a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, subject to appropriate confidentiality and legal requirements.
We may also use or disclose information that has been aggregated or deidentified so that it cannot reasonably be linked to an individual.
8. Retention
We retain website and marketing information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, maintain an active or potential business relationship, comply with legal or recordkeeping obligations, protect the website and our operations, resolve disputes, or enforce agreements.
When information is no longer reasonably needed, we may delete, deidentify, or aggregate it. Information may remain temporarily in backups or archival systems, and limited information may be retained when necessary to comply with law, document a transaction, protect legal rights, address security concerns, or honor an unsubscribe request. Information processed by Squarespace is also subject to Squarespace's retention practices.
9. Information Security
Fortis Insurance Associates uses reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. Depending on the information and context, these safeguards may include:
Limiting access to employees and service providers with a business need
Multifactor authentication
Encryption and secure portals where appropriate
Employee privacy and security training
Oversight of vendors that handle information on our behalf
No website, email transmission, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Please use care when deciding what information to send electronically and do not submit sensitive information through the public website.
10. Your Choices and Requests
You may ask Fortis Insurance Associates to provide access to, correct, or delete personal information collected through the website. You may also ask questions about how the information is used.
To make a request, email robin@myfortis.com or use the contact information below. We may need to verify your identity and clarify the scope of your request before responding. We will not discriminate against you for making a privacy request.
Some information may be retained or a request may be limited when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect security or legal rights, complete a requested transaction, maintain required records, or honor an unsubscribe request.
11. California Online Privacy Disclosures
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Our website does not currently respond to browser-based Do Not Track signals. Because Fortis Insurance Associates does not sell personal information or disclose it for cross-context behavioral advertising, we do not engage in the activities commonly addressed by opt-out preference signals such as Global Privacy Control. Where applicable law requires us to recognize a legally valid preference signal for another purpose, we will do so.
Third-Party Collection
Squarespace may automatically collect information about website visitors through cookies and similar technologies, both when acting on our behalf and for certain purposes of its own, such as maintaining the security and integrity of its services. We do not currently use advertising pixels, behavioral advertising tools, or third-party technologies designed to track visitors across unrelated websites for advertising purposes.
Direct Marketing Disclosures
Fortis Insurance Associates does not disclose personal information to third parties for those third parties' own direct-marketing purposes.
Regardless of whether a particular state privacy law requires it, Fortis Insurance Associates voluntarily accepts requests to access, correct, or delete website personal information as described in Section 10.
12. Children's Privacy
This website is intended for adults and business representatives. It is not directed to children under 13, and Fortis Insurance Associates does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that a child under 13 submitted personal information through the website, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
13. United States Audience and Processing
Fortis Insurance Associates operates in the United States, and this website and our services are intended for organizations and individuals in the United States. Website information may be processed in the United States and in other locations where Squarespace or other service providers operate, subject to their practices and applicable law.
14. Third-Party Websites
Our website may link to websites or resources operated by third parties. Fortis Insurance Associates does not control those third parties or their privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party website you visit.
15. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as our website, marketing practices, service providers, or legal obligations change. We will post the revised policy on this page and update the effective date. When appropriate, we may provide additional notice of material changes.
