Information Collection
We will ask you to provide your personal information to us when you enroll for coverage
and when you purchase an insurance policy from us. We will also ask you to provide
your personal information to us when you send e-mail to us from this Web site. When
you enroll for an insurance policy at Castle Insurance, we will ask you to provide your

policy so they can establish you as a policyholder. We will maintain a record of your

service. The employees of Castle Insurance are each required to sign and acknowledge a
Confidentiality And Nondisclosure Agreement. Each employee has been instructed on
maintaining the privacy of each customer and the importance of protecting the customer’s

purchase. We do not keep a record of your credit card information. If you pay the

this Web site. We may utilize a short-lived form of cookie when you visit this site. At
Castle Insurance a cookie is only used to identify one unique visitor from another visitor
during a particular session. A session is the period of active site-use while that unique
visitor is linked to our server. We may use cookie technology during a session as a tool to
carry forward your input information during the enrollment process. This enables the
visitor to input their information once and have the information appear later during the
enrollment process. No personally identifiable information is stored on the cookie. The
cookie expires and is deleted from the visitor’s computer as soon as they close their
browser or if they are not actively browsing our Web site for more than 20 minutes.
Should a previous visitor to our Web site return for a new session, they will be issued a
new cookie and in no way will they be recognized as a visitor from a previous visit or
session.

agree to use these links at your own risk. Please be aware that Castle Insurance is not
responsible for the content of third party Web sites that are linked to Castle Insurance nor
are we responsible for the privacy policy or practices of third party Web sites linked to

any state or federal legal requirements

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
