The compensation paid to the Producer may vary depending on a number of factors, including the insurance contract and the insurer that the purchaser selects, the volume of business the Producer provides to the insurer or the profitability of the insurance contracts that the Producer provides to the insurer.
Purchasers of insurance may obtain information about the compensation expected to be received by the Producer based in whole or in part on the sale, and the compensation expected to be received based in whole or in part on any alternative quotes presented by the Producer, by requesting such information from the Producer.

Confidentiality Protocol for Victims of Domestic Violence/Endangered Individuals
New York Insurance Law § 2612 provides victims of domestic violence with certain protections including prohibiting an individual, insurer or entity supervised by the New York Department of Financial Services, solely because a person is or has been a victim of domestic violence, from:
- refusing to issue or renew, deny or cancel any insurance policy or contract;
- demanding or requiring a greater premium or payment from any person;
- designating domestic violence as a preexisting condition for which coverage will be denied or reduced; and
- using as an underwriting criterion the fact that a person is or has been a victim of domestic violence.
New York Insurance Law § 2612 also requires that certain insurers establish procedures to protect and limit access to certain personal information related to a victim of domestic violence.
New York Insurance Law § 2612 provides that, if any person covered by an insurance policy delivers to the insurer a valid court order of protection issued by a court of competent jurisdiction in New York State against the policyholder or other person covered by the policy, then the insurer is prohibited for the duration of the order from disclosing to the policyholder or other person the address and telephone number of the insured, or of any person or entity providing the covered services to the insured. If a child is a covered person, then the right may be asserted by the child’s parent or guardian.
New York Insurance Law § 2612 also requires a health insurer, as defined in that section of the law to include an accident and health insurer, to accommodate a reasonable request made by a person covered by an insurance policy to receive communications of claim-related information by alternative means or at alternative locations if the person clearly states that disclosure of the information could endanger the person. If the covered person is a child, then the right may be asserted by the child’s parent or guardian. The law further provides that, except with the express consent of the person making the request, a health insurer may not disclose to the policyholder: (1) the address, telephone number, or any other personally identifying information of the person who has made the request or child for whose benefit a request was made; (2) the nature of the health care services provided; or (3) the name or address of the provider of covered services.
