Personally identifiable information
As a general rule, Ironpeak does not collect personal information about you, unless you choose to provide such information to us. If you choose to complete our on-line survey or complete our contact form, we may use the information you provide to market Ironpeak’s services to you, or to contact you in response to your inquiry. We only market to independent insurance agencies that sell property and casualty insurance products. Unless your agency chooses to become a Member of the Ironpeak network, we do not share the information you submit to us with any third party unaffiliated with Ironpeak.

We use Google Analytics to better understand how visitors engage with our website. Google Analytics may collect your IP address, information about your browser, device type, general geographic location, the pages you visit, how you arrived at our site, and on-site activities.
