We will safeguard,
according to strict
standards of security
and confidentiality, any
information our
customers share with us.
|
|
2. |
We will limit the
collection and use of
customer information to
the minimum we require
to deliver superior
service to our
customers, which
includes advising our
customers about our
products, services and
other opportunities, and
to administer our
business.
|

3. |
We will permit only
authorized employees,
who are trained in the
proper handling of

have access to that
information. Employees
who violate our Privacy
Promise will be subject
to our normal
disciplinary process.
|
|
4. |
We will not reveal
customer information to
any external
organization unless we
have previously informed
the customer in
disclosures or
agreements, been
authorized by the
customer, or are
required by law.
|
|
5. |
We will always maintain
control over the
confidentiality of our
customer information. We
may, however, facilitate
relevant offers from
reputable companies.
These companies are not
permitted to retain any
customer information
unless the customer has
specifically expressed
interest in their
products or services.
|
|
6. |
We will tell customers
in plain language
initially, and at least
once annually, how they
may remove their names
from marketing lists. At
any time, customers can
contact us to remove
their names from such
lists.

Whenever we hire other
organizations to provide
support services, we
will require them to
conform to our policy
standards and to allow
us to audit them for
compliance.
|
|
8. |
For purposes of credit
reporting, verification
and risk management, we
will exchange
information about our
customers with reputable
reference sources and
clearinghouse services.
|
|
9. |
We will not use or share
- internally or
externally - personally
identifiable medical
information for any
purpose other than the
underwriting or
administration of a
customer's policy, claim
or account, or as
disclosed to the
customer when the
information is
collected, or to which
the customer consents.
|
|
10. |
We will attempt to keep
customer files complete,
up to date, and
accurate. We will tell
our customers how and
where to conveniently
access their account
information (except when
we're prohibited by
law), and how to notify
us about errors which we
will promptly correct.
