1. Who We Are
North Star Benefits ("we," "us," or "our") is the insurance business of Andrew White, a licensed life insurance agent based in East Tennessee. We help individuals and families in Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina find final expense (whole life) insurance coverage. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you submit one of our forms, how we use it, and the choices you have.
2. Information We Collect
We collect only the information you choose to give us, including:
- Your name
- Phone number
- Email address
- The state you live in
- Your answers to questions on our forms, such as what kind of coverage you are looking for, who it is for, a comfortable monthly amount, when you would like coverage, and the best time to call
If you speak with us about a quote, we may also collect information an insurance company needs to give you a quote or process an application.
3. Facebook and Instagram Lead Forms
Most people reach us through lead forms in ads on Facebook and Instagram. When you submit one of these forms, Meta Platforms, Inc. shares the information you entered with us. Meta's own collection and use of information is covered by Meta's Privacy Policy at facebook.com/privacy/policy, not by this policy. This policy covers what we do with your information after we receive it.
4. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Contact you by phone call, text message, and email about the final expense insurance quote you requested
- Answer your questions and help you compare coverage options
- Request quotes from, and submit applications to, insurance companies at your request
- Keep records of our communications with you and meet legal and regulatory requirements
5. How We Share Information
We share your information only:
- With insurance companies (carriers), and only as needed to quote, apply for, or service the coverage you asked about
- With service providers who help us respond to you, such as our customer relationship management, phone, text messaging, and email providers, and only as needed to provide those services
- When required by law, regulation, or legal process
We do not sell your personal information. Mobile phone numbers and text messaging consent are not shared with third parties or affiliates for their marketing purposes.
6. Calls, Text Messages (SMS), and Email
By submitting a form and providing your phone number or email address, you agree that Andrew White, a licensed agent with North Star Benefits, may contact you by phone call, text message, and email about your insurance request. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Consent is not a condition of purchase.

7. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. How Long We Keep Information
We keep your information only as long as needed to respond to your request, provide our services, and meet legal, regulatory, and insurance record-keeping requirements. After that, we delete it or keep it in a form that no longer identifies you.

You may ask us to:
- Stop contacting you by phone, text, or email (see Section 6)

- Correct information that is wrong
- Delete your information, except where we must keep it by law or for insurance records
