We may disclose customers’ non-public personal information to our agents. We may also disclose it to others to provide service, to help us market our own products, or to establish retained asset accounts for settlement proceeds or benefits. We will require in writing that your information be kept confidential. We will also require in writing that the information must be used only for the reason we disclosed it. This includes information we get from a consumer reporting agency. If we ever change this policy, we will give you a chance to opt out. Sometimes we acquire medical information about our customers.

We have security controls in place to protect your non-public personal information. We limit use of our customers’ information to our employees who need such information to do their jobs; and to outside entities as required or permitted by law. We also have physical and electronic safeguards that are intended to assure the privacy of your non-public personal information.

You may review the information we have on file about you. If you think it is wrong, you may ask for a change. If we agree, we will make the change. We have the right to change our privacy rules. If we do that, we will send a written notice to all customers who may be affected by the change.
