• Information we receive from you on applications or required questionnaires, such as your occupation, current employer and Social Security and driver’s license numbers;

How do we utilize this information?

We utilize the company and owner information to create a customer account in our online system. The voluntarily provided information is then used to fulfill your request, which is typically obtaining a firm surety bond quote and allowing you to buy the bond. Your company and personal information is not shared with outside entities, except for the surety companies we submit your application to and the agency who invited you to use Propeller Inc for your Surety Bonds.

We utilize applicant email addresses and phone numbers to communicate with customers about their specific bond application, notify of renewals and to ask for additional underwriting information or provide them with a quote. This information is under no circumstances shared with any outside entity other than the aforementioned above.

Rest assured that your company and ownership information will only be utilized in the above mentioned ways relating to your bond application. We do not sell your Confidential Information to others under any circumstances.
