Erie Insurance Group Privacy Notice
The privacy and security of your personal information is important
to us. This notice will inform you about our policies and procedures
concerning the personal information about you that we collect, maintain

at the lowest possible rates, we collect, maintain, and, in some instances,
disclose "nonpublic personal information" about you. Nonpublic
personal information may include your name, address, social security
number, wage information, driving record, policy coverages, medical
information or credit history. It may also include transaction information
such as your premium payment or claims history with us. We appreciate
the importance of your personal privacy and are committed to protecting
it as we provide for your insurance needs.

and other parties who provide information on insurance

We do not Sell Your Information to Others for Marketing Purposes
Because we respect your privacy, we do not sell, trade or otherwise
disclose your identity or any other personal information about you
to third parties for their marketing purposes. This includes information
we obtain concerning all applicants, customers and former customers.
We may, however, share information regarding your transactions with
us with our affiliates, as listed above, or companies that perform
marketing services on our behalf to assist us in providing our products
and services to you. These companies are required to keep your information
confidential.

support organizations;

examinations of our procedures.
Security of Your Personal Information
While your nonpublic personal information is under our control,
access is limited to those employees who have legitimate business
needs for such information with respect to your insurance coverages.
