Iroquois has never sold consumers’ personal information (CPI) and has no plans to sell CPI in the future.

Business of Iroquois. Iroquois is a network of independent insurance agencies. Iroquois’ customers are other businesses. Iroquois does not solicit, or place insurance policies and it does not market to individual consumers. Iroquois consists of a group of affiliated companies which operate in different regions of the country. Iroquois’ corporate office is located at PO Box 806, Olean, New York, 14760.

If you choose to complete our on-line survey or complete our contact form, we may use the information you provide to market Iroquois’ services to you, or to contact you in response to your inquiry. We only market to independent insurance agencies that sell property and casualty insurance products.
