Purpose of Notice
Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) generally prohibits title insurance companies and others from the sharing (disclosure) of nonpublic personal information about you with nonaffiliated third parties unless the company provides you with a notice of its privacy policy and practices, such as the type of information collected about you and the categories of persons or entities to whom it may be disclosed. In compliance with GLBA, we are providing you with the notice of our privacy policies and practices.
