Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 29, 2026
Lyceum Insurance Services is an independent insurance agency in Frederick, Maryland. This policy explains what happens to information when you visit lyceumins.com.
It covers this website only. If you become a client, the way we handle your personal information in the course of placing and servicing your insurance is covered separately — see "If you are a client" below.

1. Information you give us
The only place this site asks for information is the contact form. It collects your name, your email address, your phone number, your company or organization, what you'd like help with, and whatever you write in the message box.
You choose what to put there. We use it to answer you, and to follow up if your enquiry turns into a conversation about coverage. We don't need anything sensitive to respond to a first enquiry, so please don't send Social Security numbers, dates of birth, policy numbers or medical information through this form.
2. Information collected automatically
Like most websites, this one collects some basic technical information when you visit — the pages you look at, roughly where in the world you are, what kind of device and browser you're using, and the site that sent you here if you arrived from a link.
This is collected using cookies, which are small files a website stores in your browser. We use them to understand which pages are useful and which aren't. We don't use them to build a profile of you, and we don't sell anything they tell us.
3. Who handles this information besides us
We use a small number of outside services to run the site. They only get what they need to do their job, and they aren't allowed to use it for their own purposes.
Squarespace hosts the website and delivers the contact form to us.
Google Analytics tells us how many people visit and which pages they read. We also use Google's advertising features, which means Analytics reports general information about the age range, gender and interests of the people who visit — as groups, never identifying you by name. This works through Google's own advertising cookies. You can switch it off for yourself; see "Your choices" below.
Elfsight displays our Instagram feed on the Community page.
Each of these has its own privacy policy, and their handling of information is governed by it rather than by this one.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with anyone for their own marketing.
We may disclose information if the law requires it, or if we need to in order to protect the safety or rights of our clients, our staff, or the public.
4. The Instagram feed
The Community page shows our recent Instagram posts. That content is loaded directly from Instagram through a service called Elfsight, which means Instagram and Elfsight may be able to see that your browser requested it — in the same way they would if you visited Instagram yourself.
If you'd rather not load it, most browsers let you block third-party content, and the rest of the page will still work.
5. Links to other websites
We link to carriers, community organizations and other third parties. Once you follow a link, you're on their website, under their rules. We're not responsible for how they handle your information, and it's worth reading their policy if it matters to you.
6. How long we keep things
We keep contact form submissions for as long as we need them to respond to you and to keep a record of the enquiry, and no longer. If you'd like us to delete an enquiry you sent, ask us and we will.
7. Keeping information safe
The site runs over an encrypted connection, and we limit who inside the agency can see enquiries that come in. No website can promise perfect security, and we won't pretend otherwise — but we take it seriously, and if something went wrong that affected your information we would tell you.
8. Your choices
Cookies. Your browser settings let you block or delete them. The site works without them.
Google Analytics. Google publishes a browser add-on that opts you out of Analytics on every site, at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
Google's advertising cookies. You can see what Google has inferred about you and turn personalized ads off at myadcenter.google.com.
Your information. Email or call us and ask what we hold, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Our details are below.
Hearing from us. If we've been emailing you and you'd rather we didn't, say so and we'll stop.
9. Children
This site is meant for businesses and the people who run them. It isn't directed at children, and we don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. If you think a child has sent us something through this site, contact us and we'll delete it.
10. If you are a client
This policy is about the website. Once you become a client, the information we hold about you and your employees — applications, census data, claims, and so on — is handled under the rules that apply to licensed insurance producers in Maryland, and under our agreements with the carriers we place your coverage with.
11. Changes to this policy
If we change how the site handles information, we'll update this page and change the date at the top. If it's a significant change, we'll say so rather than quietly editing it.
12. Maryland law
This policy and any dispute about it are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland.
