Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Drive Value Journal handles information on https://drivevaluejournal.com.

Information collected

We collect information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, mobile phone number, selected message categories, and messages sent through our contact form. When you give SMS consent we record the consent timestamp, source page, disclosure version, and browser user agent.

How information is used

Information is used to respond to inquiries, manage selected subscription preferences, and maintain the website. We do not collect information for insurance quotes, applications, policy placement, carrier matching, or agent follow-up. The current preference form reviews selections in your browser session only and does not create a subscription.

SMS communications

Optional account notifications about your subscription, guide delivery, content access, and confirmation requests; and separately selected recurring marketing about new guides, tools, featured resources, and brand announcements. SMS consent is optional and not a condition of purchase or access to any content. Account notifications vary with account activity; marketing messages generally arrive up to 4 times per month. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to cancel or HELP for help. Phone numbers and consent data are not sold, shared, or transferred to third-party marketers. See our SMS Terms of Service.
