Title V of
the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) generally prohibits any financial
institution, directly or through it’s affiliates, from
sharing nonpublic personal information about you with a nonaffiliated
third party unless the institution provides you with a notice
of its privacy policies and practices, such as the type of information
that it collects about you and the categories of persons or entities
to whom it may be disclosed. In compliance with the GLBA, we
are providing you with this document, which notifies you of the
privacy policies and practices of URL Financial.
The GLBA further
requires that we inform you that you have a right to prevent
us from sharing nonpublic personal information about you with
a nonaffiliated third party for any purpose that is not specifically
authorized by law. Your right to prevent us from sharing nonpublic
personal information about you with a nonaffiliated third party
for a purpose that is not specifically authorized by law is called
your right to “opt out” of such information sharing.
At URL Financial
we are committed to providing you the best service while earning
your trust and protecting the privacy of your information. We
understand and respect the fact that you may wish to keep your
personal information confidential.
The following
is our policy on how we handle your information:
We collect
nonpublic personal financial information about you from the following
sources:
• Information
from carrier contracting and client applications. This
is information you give us on applications and other forms,
by phone, or online. This information includes your name, address,
telephone number, drivers license number, social security number,
date of birth, length of employment, gender, marital status,
prior insurance information, status of home ownership, length
of residency, vehicle description, miles driven and vehicle
use/driving history that we receive from you on applications
and other forms.
• Information

trusted transactions with us and out affiliates. It includes
your insurance coverage premiums and selection, your payment
and claims history, and information necessary for billing and
payment. Other information used to investigate and settle insurance
claims, such as witness statements and police reports, may
be included as well.
• Information
we receive from a consumer reporting agency. This
information is generally used to confirm or supplement application
or contracting information. We disclose consumer reporting
information only as necessary to quote or service your insurance
policy and as permitted by law. By obtaining a quote, you consent
to our sharing of this information with companies and their
affiliated for underwriting purposes.
We do not disclose
any nonpublic information about our customers or former customers
to anyone, except as permitted by law.
We restrict
access to nonpublic personal financial information about you
to those employees who need to know that information to provide
products or services to you. We maintain physical, electronic,
and procedural safeguards that comply with federal and state
regulations to guard your nonpublic personal financial information.
At URL Financial
we are committed to protecting your privacy rights. We acknowledge
your right to keep your own financial information confidential
and, because of this, we have created this document to explain
our privacy policy to you. In addition, we are complying with
both state and federal laws which require insurance agencies
(as well as all financial institutions) to notify you, our valued
customers, about how we intend to treat your nonpublic personal
financial information that you have entrusted us with.
Our
policy is a pledge – we pledge to protect your information!
We pledge to
you, our valued customer, that the information you have provided
us to obtain appropriate insurance coverage will be used for
just that purpose and that purpose only. We will not share such
information with nonaffiliated third parties, such as banks,
securities firms, or other institutions.
However, in
order to better serve you, your trusted information may be shared
with third parties for the purpose of insurance contracting underwriting
and any other normal business processes. |
