ONLINE PRIVACY POLICY
Thank you for visiting our Web Site. When you visit this Site, we and/or Erie Insurance, the insurer we
represent through this Site, (collectively, “We” or “Us”) may collect information from you.
Your privacy is important to Us, and We want you to know how We handle information you may provide to Us
through this Site. This Online Privacy Policy applies to all information collected by Us through this Web Site.
Other Privacy Notices may apply to certain business relationships with Us, and We will provide you with
any applicable privacy notice(s) at the start of each business relationship.
How We Collect, Use and Share Information
We do not collect personally identifiable information, such as name, age, contact information, or
government identification numbers, through this Site without notice. When you visit this Site, We will
only collect personal information that you provide voluntarily. You are not obligated to provide any
requested information, but it might not be possible to process your request without it. If you are ever
asked for personal information as part of your visit to this Site, and you do not want to provide that
information, simply do not proceed with that function.
Site Functions
It may be necessary for you to provide certain information to use some of the functions on this Site.
Examples of functions available through this Site are the Get an Auto Quote function, the Pay My Bill
function and the Access My Account function. Each function provides information regarding whether and
what information is necessary to utilize the function.
For instance, the “Get an Auto Quote,” function allows you to provide information directly to Us.
We may retain a copy of the information you provide. If you use the Quick Quote or Detailed Quote
functions to obtain an insurance quote, We will collect the items of information that you are asked to
provide as part of the quote process. In the case of a Detailed Quote, We will also obtain a credit-based
insurance score from a consumer reporting agency.
As part of the quoting process, you may be given the opportunity to save a quote, or information you
have submitted as part of the quote process. Information you save may be used later as part of the
quoting process or to provide you with insurance you request. Saved information may also be shared
among the Erie Insurance affiliates and with your ERIE Agent if you choose to purchase insurance as a
result of a quote provided to you. If you do not save the information, We will retain the information,
and it may be used by Erie Insurance for research and analytical purposes, but your information will not
be disclosed.
