Agents should consult with their local counsel to customize these sample disclaimers so that they fit their websites and social media sites, are positioned at the appropriate places on the site and comply with all of the federal and state laws and regulations that apply to them. These disclaimers are in addition to the Privacy Statement that the agency should include at the bottom of its website setting out its privacy policies. ACT hasn’t developed a Privacy Statement, but encourages agencies to use as a starting point the Policy Statement that IIABA provides at the bottom of its website, as well as the Policy Statements used by other independent agencies.
