The Cincinnati Insurance Companies Privacy Policy
Our Privacy Pledge
You have received this notice because you have a policy with us

Information We Disclose To Third Parties
We do not sell your personal information to anyone. We
do not disclose your personal information to third parties - people and

For this reason, no "opt-out" is required. If we share some personal
information about you with third parties without your specific authorization,
it is to provide you with products and services that you request or expect from

For example, we may disclose the personal information we
collect (as described above) as necessary to:

service requested but may include:

- insurance regulators;
- reinsurance companies;
- consumer-reporting and fraud prevention agencies;
- your mortgage or premium finance company;
- insurance adjusters.
We also may disclose personal information about you to
companies that perform marketing services on our behalf or to other financial
service providers with which we have joint marketing agreements. If information
is disclosed, it will not result in telemarketing or direct mail marketing.
Information Security
We restrict access to personal information about you to those
employees who need to know that information in order to provide products and
services to you. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to
guard your personal information.
