Privacy Policy

Grinnell Specialty Agency LLC appreciates the trust you place in us when you provide us with the personal information we need when you obtain insurance through us as a broker. We take our obligation to protect your information seriously. This notice provides you with an explanation of where we get information about insureds when we obtain insurance policies for them and to whom we disclose that information.

In the course of issuing or processing a policy or handling a claim, we may collect information about you from:

  • The insurance application or other forms (for example, your name, address, date of birth and social security number);

  • Consumer reporting agencies (such as your credit or claims history);
  • Your insurance agent (such as updated information pertinent to your account or information about your policies with other insurers)

In addition, if you make a claim for medical payments, we may request information pertaining to your medical history and treatment.

We do not gather any personal information electronically from visitors to our website.

We treat your personal information with respect and concern for your privacy. We do not sell your personal information to any third party. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal regulations to guard the information we obtain from you. In the course of our normal insurance business transactions, we may disclose some information about you to nonaffiliated third parties, but only as permitted by law. Examples of some organizations to whom we might give information are:

  • Independent claims adjusters or appraisers who would need the information to adjust your claims;
