What Information Does IIANC Collect? 

Most of the data IIANC collects is used only to help IIANC better serve its members.

If our privacy policies change, we will notify all users by e-mail or a special announcement placed on the Web site. 

Data collected in general 

IIANC does not collect any personal information from users browsing our Web site. We do not sell or disclose member data to third parties outside of IIANC and its affiliated programs, except as required by law or with express member consent.

Member Information Use Notice

When IIANC collects information from member agencies—whether through program applications, registrations, surveys, or other interactions—that information may be shared internally across IIANC departments and business units. We may use the data submitted not only for the original purpose of collection but also to help inform and enhance the full range of services, communications, and support we provide to our members.

All data is handled responsibly and in alignment with our commitment to member trust, relevance, and value.

Notice of AI Assistance in Association Practices

At the Independent Insurance Agents of North Carolina (IIANC), we utilize advanced AI tools, including but not limited to ChatGPT, Grammarly, and HubSpot’s AI tool, to enhance the development of products, services, and marketing materials. AI assists in content creation, but it is never used to fully automate the process.

All AI-generated content is carefully reviewed and verified by our experienced professionals to ensure accuracy, quality, and relevance to the independent insurance industry. We guarantee that we will promote transparency, maintain data security, and avoid biases, ensuring that AI is a tool for support, not replacement.

Our commitment to ethical marketing and content practices ensures that you receive reliable, up-to-date information tailored to your needs.
