We value and protect our customers’ privacy

Superior Point does not disclose any non-public personal information about our policyholders, applicants, agents, customers, or former customers to any non-affiliated third party other than disclosures required or permitted by law, and even then only for the purpose of transacting the business of your insurance coverage or policy or for other legitimate business purposes.

Superior Point reserves the right to modify this Privacy Notice from time to time and will mark new versions with a corresponding effective date. We recommend users visit the Site to review any changes in our practices.
