How
USBA Safeguards Your Privacy
The
Uniformed Services Benefit Association (USBA) knows you want us
to keep your personal information private and secure. We're committed
to doing this and have policies in place to protect your privacy.
We've built our business with integrity, honesty, and trust. And
we'll protect your privacy with those values in mind.
The
provisions of this notice apply to both current customers and former
customers, unless we state otherwise.
Our
Privacy Pledge
We
offer group life insurance through USBA, and other insurance and
financial services through USBA Services, Inc. (our wholly owned
subsidiary). In order to provide these services, we collect personal
information about you. Some of this is called "nonpublic personal
information," which includes personally identifiable information
that is not publicly available, that is provided by you, obtained
by us for nonaffiliated third parties, or that results from your
transactions with us. As we collect and maintain this information,
we pledge to:
- Collect
only information needed to deliver superior products and services.
- Control
access to your information, both in the office and on the Internet.
- Keep
your health information private and NEVER disclose it to nonaffiliated
third parties for marketing purposes.
- Require
strict standards from nonaffiliated providers that help us process
transactions.
- Keep
your personal information confidential, and let you choose whether
or not you are mailed marketing offers from nonaffiliated providers
with whom we do business.
- Remind
you of our policy at least once a year.
Here's
How We Keep Your Information Private.
Access
is limited to personnel who need the information to provide or administer
products and services. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural
safeguards that meet or exceed state and federal regulations. And
we continually update and improve our security standards, procedures
and technology, to help us protect against anyone gaining unauthorized
access to your confidential information.
