Mercury Insurance Group Privacy Statement
Mercury and its affiliated companies appreciate the trust you place in us when you ask us to help protect you and your assets. You trust us with your private, personal information when you purchase insurance from us, and we are committed to protecting this information. Mercury does not sell information about you to others.
Mercury's Use Of Your Personal Information
We treat your information with respect and concern for your privacy. We do not disclose any nonpublic personal information about our customers or former customers to anyone, except as permitted or required by law.
For example, we may share any or all of your information with our affiliated companies. We may also disclose any or all information we have collected about you to companies that perform services on our behalf.
When we make this type of disclosure it is done to service your Mercury account or policy, or to inform you about Mercury products and services. Before disclosing your information, we require these companies to agree to keep it confidential and use it only for the transaction we request.
Independent Mercury Agents and Brokers
The Independent Insurance Agents/Brokers authorized to sell Mercury products and services are not Mercury employees and are subject to Mercury's Privacy Policy only insofar as they sell or service our products. Because they have a unique business relationship with you, they may have additional personal information about you that Mercury does not have. They may use this information differently than Mercury. Contact your Mercury Agent/Broker or advisor to learn more about their privacy practices.
Information About Mercury's Web Sites
Information collected
Mercury collects personal information (for example, name, address, E-mail address, telephone number or social security number) on our web site only when you voluntarily provide it to us. Only your Internet domain is recognized when you visit our website; your individual E-mail address is not.
Mercury Insurance Group works with several third-party vendors, including, but not necessarily limited to, Yahoo!, Google, MSN, BurstMedia, 24/7 Real Media, AdDynamix, Adconion, Pointroll and Optimal IQ, to research usage and activities on our web site. These third-party vendors use Web beacons to conduct this research. The information collected through these Web beacons is used to find out more about our Web site usage patterns, for more accurate reporting, and to improve the effectiveness of our marketing. Information recorded through the use of these Web beacons is aggregated and then shared with us. No personally identifiable information about you is shared by these third-party vendors with the Mercury family of companies.
To learn more about how Mercury collects and uses your personal information, please read the following notice.
Mercury's Sources of Information About You
We collect personal information about you from:
- The information you provide on quotes, applications or other forms (such as your name, address and Social Security number)
- Your transactions with us (such as your payment history and claims information)
- The information we receive from a consumer reporting agency (such as your credit history, except in California)
- Your insurance Agent/Broker (such as updated information pertaining to your account)
Information sharing and use
Mercury does not sell information about you to others. If you only browse our Web site and do not supply any information, you will not receive unsolicited E-mail, telephone calls, or other marketing materials from Mercury as a result of your visit.
When you make changes to your account or request more information about our products we may forward information you supply to us to your Mercury Independent Insurance Agent/Broker. We do this so they can service your account or contact you with additional information about our products.

Mercury uses cookies to maintain the continuity of browser sessions and to track repeat visitors. No personally identifiable information about you is stored in these cookies.
Browsers & Security
Mercury uses secure technology, which encrypts information as it crosses the Internet. You can tell if you are visiting a secure area by looking at the padlock symbol on your browser screen. If it is "locked," you have a secure session.
Mercury has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of your personal information. Our servers are located in the United States of America and are designed to prevent unauthorized access.
Links to other sites
MercuryInsurance.com contains links to other Web sites. These other Web sites are not under Mercury's direct control, and they may collect information about you that Mercury does not. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of linked Web sites.
Protecting Your Personal Information from Unauthorized Access
We limit employee access to customer information to those employees with a legitimate business reason for such access. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect your personal information from being accessed by unauthorized persons. We also conduct regular risk assessment, risk management and control, and oversight of our service providers to assure the effectiveness of these safeguards.
Your Medical Information
Mercury obtains medical information only in connection with specific products or claims. We will not use or share personally identifiable medical information for any purpose other than the underwriting or administration of your policy, claim or account, or as otherwise disclosed to you when the information is collected.
Reviewing Your Information
If you submitted information to Mercury online and would like to review that information, please request a copy of the information about you that we have in our files to review it for completeness and accuracy.
