To provide and administer products and services, we must refer to relevant personal information that can be identified to you or your household and that may not be available in public records (“nonpublic personal information”). We collect only the following information required to conduct business:

What information do we share with others?
To help us provide you with the best possible products and services, we maintain strong relationships with business associates. In the course of conducting business and as permitted or required by law, we may share any of the listed nonpublic personal information with our business associates for the following purposes:



We may also disclose relevant portions of the information we collect, as described above, to companies that perform services on our behalf or with whom we have joint marketing agreements. We will not, however, disclose your health information for marketing purposes.

Other than the disclosures listed above, we do not release your information to nonaffiliated third parties. We will not for any reason share your information with or sell it to telemarketing agencies or other agencies that market products other than those products provided or administered by American Republic or its business associates. Our business associates are bound by the same restrictions on the release and use of such information as American Republic Insurance Company. Any future alliances with business associates, which include personal information sharing, will follow the same policy.

How do we protect your information?
We maintain appropriate physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to ensure the confidentiality of your nonpublic personal information. We follow security standards and procedures to help prevent unauthorized access to personal information. Only employees who need the information we collect from or about you to provide products or services to you may access that information. Employees are required to comply with our established policies.

What about former customers?
We do not disclose information about former customers unless permitted or required by law.

How can you correct inaccurate information?
We want to keep our records of your information accurate. If you discover inaccuracies in any communications from us, please call customer service at the number listed on your policy or certificate materials. We will respond promptly when we learn corrections are needed.
