privacy and security of the personal information that you share
with us when we transact your business. We believe that your knowledge
of our privacy principles and practices will confirm your trust
in us.
What Personal Information Do We Collect? The type of information
that we collect depends on the type of product or service being
provided. The types of information that we may collect include:-
information that you provide us on an application or other form
(for example, name, address, social security number, or income);
- information that we receive from other sources such as credit
reporting agencies, information to verify employment or income;
- information about your transactions and history with us;
- and medical or health information that you authorize us to receive
from doctors or other health care service providers.Most of the
personal information that we collect is obtained directly from
you. We only collect personal information necessary to service
and administer your business with us.
How Do
We Use and Disclose Your Information?
The primary use of your information is to verify your identity
in the course of transactions that we perform at your request.
In addition, we use your information to underwrite policies or
contracts, process claims, and service your accounts with us.
Information
may be disclosed to other entities that provide business services
to us related to our transactions with you, such as administrative,
claims, or audit services. Examples are your agent, broker, or
a reinsurance company. Before we disclose your information, these
entities must agree to maintain the privacy of your information.
If necessary,
we disclose information when it is required by law. An example
is a routine filing to the Internal Revenue Service (such as a
Form 1099). We may also disclose certain information to other
entities to help us report or prevent fraud. Examples are reports
to a regulatory or law enforcement agency.
What Medical
and Health Information Do We Collect?
We may receive medical or health information on an application
for insurance or when we process a claim, as authorized by you
in writing. We do not share that medical or health information
among our family of companies, or with unrelated companies, except
as necessary to process your transactions. These transactions
are necessary to provide services that you have requested related
to your insurance coverage or payment.
