Protecting the Confidentiality of Customer Information
At Pegasus Financial and Insurance, we take the privacy and confidentiality of customer information very seriously. To offer you the greatest advantages as a Pegasus Financial and Insurance customer, we find that sharing limited amounts of your personal information within our family of well-respected, carefully chosen business partners enables us to offer you personalized products and services at lower costs and/or much greater convenience than otherwise would be possible. Our control policies, for example, authorize access to customer information only by individuals who need access to do their work.

From time to time, we enter into agreements with other companies to provide services to us or make products and services available to you. Under these agreements, the companies may receive information about you but they must safeguard this information and they may not use it for any other purposes.

We use advanced data-encryption and storage technology to protect your sensitive personal information. We implemented extensive administrative, technical and physical safeguards and quality controls, such as:

  • Setting policies and procedures for carefully handling your information
  • Maintaining a database across our field offices to honor our customers privacy preferences
  • Requiring third-party business partners to agree to comply with privacy laws to do business with Pegasus Financial and Insurance
  • Regularly auditing our company security practices

Clearly stated policies in our employee handbook, background checks on all employees and thorough on-the-job training in confidentiality and customer privacy ensure that our employees are committed to keeping your personal information safe and secure.
