Privacy Policy & Terms of Use
Quincy Mutual values you as a customer and is committed to protecting the confidentiality and security of information
we collect about you. This notice describes our privacy policy and explains the categories of nonpublic personal information
we collect and how and why we use this information. We do not sell or otherwise disclose nonpublic personal information
we collect, except as described herein.
Protecting Your Privacy
As a general principle, access to personal information is kept to the minimum amount necessary to provide you with our
products and to properly service your accounts. The Company restricts access to non public personal information to
those persons who have a need to know the information to perform legitimate business functions. We maintain physical,
electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with state and federal privacy laws. Our staff is educated about
the importance of safeguarding your information and we are committed to holding them accountable for protecting your
personal information. Whenever Quincy Mutual permits an external third party to access your nonpublic personal information
they are contractually required to protect the confidentiality of customer information in a manner consistent with
our security requirements.
Information We Collect
We collect and use information that is necessary to serve you effectively and to permit us to meet your insurance needs.
Most often the personal information we receive comes from your insurance application and from information provided
when servicing your account. Depending upon the nature of your coverage, we may collect nonpublic personal information
about you from other sources such as consumer reporting agencies, state motor vehicle departments, loss information
reports, property inspection companies, other insurance companies, and others as allowed by law. In a claim situation,
we may also collect medical information to adjust the claim. The types of personal information we collect may include,
but is not limited to, social security number, credit history, credit score, and driver’s license number.
How We Use This Information
We use this information to underwrite your insurance, process claims, ensure proper billing, and service your account.
Under What Circumstances Do We Disclose Personal Information
We do not disclose any nonpublic personal information about our customers or former customers to anyone except as permitted
by law. This means that under certain circumstances information can be disclosed to third parties without your authorization.
For example: We may disclose information to your insurance agent; to consultants who perform business or insurance
functions for us; to independent claims adjusters, auto appraisers, investigators, accountants and attorneys who need
information to handle your claim; to our reinsurers; to businesses that provide underwriting safety inspections, claims
and actuarial support; to consumer reporting agencies that provide us with necessary underwriting or loss history information;
to organizations involved in collecting data to help in the detection of insurance fraud or criminal activity in connection
with insurance transactions; to law enforcement, fraud bureaus, or governmental authorities as required by law; to
medical care institutions or medical professionals; to vendors who verify coverage or conduct audits of services; to
insurance rating organizations or state regulatory agencies that control insurance pricing and products; to leinholders
, mortgagees, or other parties who have a legal interest in your policy; and to authorized individuals as required
by judicial process.
Access to Your Information
You have the right to obtain certain items of information we have collected about you, and to request correction of
information if you feel it is inaccurate. If we agree, we will correct our records accordingly. If we do not agree,
we will communicate this to you. You should submit your written request to us at the address shown below. Certain information
collected in connection with, or in anticipation of, any claim or legal proceeding will not be made available.

Internet Privacy Policy
Your privacy is important to Quincy Mutual. Quincy Mutual does not collect or use any personal identifiable information
such as IP addresses, E-mail addresses or browser types.

account to provide more personalized information. Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the
user ID and password, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under their account.
If you e-mail Quincy Mutual at Contactus@Quincymutual.com , we will not use your e-mail address unless you require a response from us through e-mail.
Information entered into our Agent Locator (state/city) or any link to an agent's site or agent's E-mail
is not collected by Quincy Mutual.
This Web site contains links to other sites. It is also possible that non-Quincy
Mutual Web sites may also link into Quincy Mutual Web sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy
practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to read the privacy statements of each web site that collects
personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to the information on this Web site.
Secure Sockets Layer
Quincy Mutual uses Secure Sockets Layer security technology. Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL, is an encryption technology
that provides secure communication over the Internet. It does this by verifying that the server you are connected is
actually one it claims to be. It also encrypts all transactions between the parties communicating. Encryption is the
scrambling of information as it is transmitted over the Internet to protect your confidentiality. Personal and credit
card information passing between your computer and many of Quincy Mutual’s services is encrypted. This means that while
your information is in transit it is scrambled so that only Quincy Mutual can reassemble it in its original text format.
