Bankers Corporate Privacy Statement
Customer privacy is important to Bankers Life and Casualty
and our affiliated companies. Our customers have chosen to do business
with us; and we recognize our obligation to keep the information we learn
about them secure and confidential. The following is an outline of the
principles of our commitment:
We intend to collect only nonpublic personal information
needed to deliver superior products and services. This includes
information we need to evaluate applications, administer accounts, service
claims, and notify customers of products or services that we believe would
be of interest to them.
We will require that only those employees with appropriate
authority have access to this data. They will use and disclose this
information for business purposes only.
We will not share personally identifiable medical
information about our customers with affiliated or non-affiliated
companies, unless the information is needed to underwrite or administer a
customer policy, claim or account.
Whenever we employ non-affiliated companies or individuals
to perform functions for us, we will give them access only to the customer
information needed to perform those functions and will not allow them to
use it for any other purpose. We will require these non-affiliated
companies to abide by our privacy standards and retain the data only long
enough to perform the stated service except as required by law.
We may provide nonpublic personal customer information to
non-affiliated companies that offer, on our behalf, products or services
that may benefit our customers. If we do so, however, we will not:
- Release a customer's non-encrypted account number
- Release the information for an unspecified use
- Share a customer's information if we have been asked not to do so
We will maintain the same privacy standards for current and
former customers; and we will fully comply with all federal and state law
and regulatory requirements that protect consumer privacy.
We will publish and update our privacy standards on our Web sites.
