In the course of our business relationship with
you, we collect nonpublic personal financial information about you
that is necessary to provide you with our products and services.
We treat this information as confidential and recognize the importance
of protecting it. The following notice describes our privacy practices
regarding information about our customers and former customers.
Information We Collect
The information we collect may include your name and address, date
of birth, driver's license and social security numbers, place of
occupation, mortgagees or lien holders, and the value of your home
or certain other scheduled items. This generally is information
you have provided to us or it may have been collected from a public
record or other source. We also receive information from our insurance
companies relative to your policies including policy coverage,
premiums, or payment history. We have always collected this information
and we do not share it with others except as permitted or required
by law. This is true whether you are a former or a current customer.
Information We Share
You should know that the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act allows us to collect
and disclose (share) any nonpublic personal financial information
for specific purposes. In some cases, the law requires such disclosure.
For example, we are allowed to disclose information about you as
necessary for the purpose of processing or servicing transactions
at your request or with your authorization. We are also allowed
to disclose nonpublic personal financial information about you
to companies that perform marketing services on our behalf or to
other financial institutions with which we have joint marketing
agreements. We may be required to disclose nonpublic personal financial
information to comply with Federal, state or local laws or regulations.
We will continue to limit such disclosures to those instances that
are permitted or required by law.
Security
We restrict access to personal information about you to those who
provide you with our products and services. We require those with
access to your nonpublic personal financial information to maintain
confidentiality and to utilize any electronic or procedural safeguards
we have instituted to protect your records.
Who Will Receive This Notice
If more than one person is listed as an insured on a policy, only
one notice will be sent. If a customer owns more than one policy
or maintains more than one address in our files, several notices
may be sent. Please note that any policyholder may request additional
copies of this notice at any time. You may also receive similar
notices from your insurance companies or other affiliated or non-affiliated
third party service providers who maintain a relationship with
us. We apologize in advance for any multiple mailings you may receive.
