We appreciate the importance of your personal privacy and are committed to protecting it as we provide for your insurance needs.

We rely on the insurance companies we represent to send Privacy compliance notices as required by law.

  • We may be required by a court of law to provide information in connection with a legal proceeding;
  • We may share information necessary to effect, administer and enforce insurance transactions. Examples of that include, but are not limited to information required by:

    3. Additional Insureds
    4. Certificate Holders

Because we do not share your non-public information with non-affiliated third parties, we do not offer an opt-­out provision in our Privacy Policy.

Security of your personal information

While your nonpublic personal information is under our control, access is limited to those employees who have a legitimate business need for such information with respect to your insurance coverages.
