We are publishing this required privacy notice to help you understand how we handle the personal, or nonpublic, information about you that we collect. |
| You provide us with information about yourself that we use in
evaluating, placing and servicing your insurance and investments.
We may collect nonpublic information from you on applications and other
forms. Depending on the nature of your coverage, we may collect
information about you from third parties; i.e., motor vehicle reports,
medical information bureau reports, etc.
We do not disclose any nonpublic information about our customers or former customers to anyone, except as permitted by law and as required to secure the insurance/investments you have requested. Because insurance and investments are our only business, we will not use customer information in connection with any banking, credit card, non-insurance/investment services or solicitations. Safeguarding customer information is important to us. We use systems, policies and procedures to maintain the accuracy of customer information and protect it from loss, misuse or alteration. Customer information is accessible only by appropriate personnel who have a business need for the information. We educate our personnel about the meaning and requirements of this privacy policy.
