Privacy Policy

How information shared through this site is collected, used and kept. Updated August 2026.

GreasyNest does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

Information Collected

Information reaches GreasyNest in two ways: what a visitor types in, and what a browser reports on its own.

  • Details entered into a signup or contact form, such as a name, email address, phone number and the content of a message.
  • Property details shared while looking at coverage, such as the type of home, its condition and the limits under consideration.
  • Technical information a browser sends automatically, including device type, approximate location, referring page and the pages opened during a visit.

No sensitive category of information is requested, and nothing beyond what a quote or a reply actually needs is asked for.

How Information Is Used

Information collected through this site supports a short list of purposes.

  • Preparing and returning home insurance quote and coverage information that was requested.
  • Replying to questions sent through the contact form or by phone.
  • Creating and maintaining an account, including password resets and access to saved notes.
  • Sending service messages such as quote confirmations, coverage updates and policy reminders where consent was given.
  • Improving how pages read and perform, based on aggregate usage patterns rather than individual profiles.

Cookies And Tracking

Cookies and similar technologies keep a session working, remember preferences between visits and measure which pages get used. Some are necessary for the site to function at all, while others exist only to report aggregate traffic.

Most browsers allow cookies to be blocked or cleared through their settings. Turning them off may affect account access and some interactive parts of the site, though the reading material remains available.

Sharing With Third Parties

Information may be shared in a limited set of circumstances, none of which involve selling it.

  • Service providers that host the site, deliver email or process messages, acting only on instructions given to them.
  • Licensed insurance carriers or agents, where a quote has been requested and sharing is needed to produce it.
  • Authorities or advisers, where disclosure is required by law or needed to establish or defend a legal claim.

Every provider handling information on behalf of GreasyNest is bound to keep it confidential and to use it only for the purpose it was shared for.

Text Message Consent

Text messages are sent only where a box on the signup form was ticked for that purpose. Service messages and marketing messages are consented to separately, and neither is a condition of getting a quote.

Replying STOP to any message ends further texts of that type, and replying HELP returns assistance information. Message frequency may vary and standard message and data rates may apply.

Data Retention

Information is kept for as long as an account stays open or as long as needed to answer a request, and then for the period required by insurance, tax and record keeping obligations.

Once no purpose remains, records are deleted or reduced to a form that no longer identifies anyone.

Security Measures

Encrypted connections, access controls and restricted internal permissions protect information held through this site. Access is limited to those who need it to answer a request or maintain the service.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so absolute safety cannot be promised. Any incident affecting personal information will be handled promptly and disclosed where the law requires it.

Children And Privacy

This site is meant for adults arranging cover on a property, and accounts are not offered to anyone under the age of thirteen. Information is not knowingly collected from children.

If a parent or guardian believes a child has supplied information here, a message using the contact details below will lead to its removal.

Choices And Rights

Depending on where a visitor lives, several rights may apply to information held about them.

  • Asking for a copy of the personal information on file.
  • Requesting a correction where a detail is wrong or out of date.
  • Requesting deletion, subject to records that must legally be retained.
  • Withdrawing consent for marketing messages at any time without affecting service messages already agreed to.

Requests can be made using the contact details in the final section, and a response follows within the timeframe the applicable law sets.

Changes To This Policy

This policy may be revised as the site changes or as legal requirements shift. The revision month shown in the page heading indicates when it was last updated.

Continued use of the site after a revision is published means the current version applies. Material changes will be made obvious rather than buried.
