Peoples First provides access to a wide range of commercial and personal insurance products. We recognize the importance of respecting the privacy of our policyholders. Congress recently passed the Gramm-Leach-Bliley (GLB) Act, which deals in part with how financial institutions treat nonpublic personal financial information. Peoples First is committed to maintaining customer confidentiality. We appreciate this opportunity to clarify our privacy practices for you as a result of this new law.
- As part of our business, we obtain certain “nonpublic personal financial information” about you, which for ease of reading we will refer to as “information” in this notice. This information includes information we receive from you on applications or other forms, information about your transactions with us, our affiliates or others, and information we receive from consumer reporting agencies.
- The information we gather helps us identify who you are, manage our relationship with you, provide services that meet your needs, provide you with accurate rates, and deliver superior service. We do not sell your information to other companies for any reason.
- We restrict access to the information to authorized individuals who need to know this information to provide services and products to you.
- We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your information.
- We do not disclose this information about you or any former customer to anyone, except as permitted by law.
- Employees share this information outside the company only as authorized by you or for a specific business purpose.
- The law permits us to share this information with companies that perform marketing services for us or with other financial institutions that have joint marketing agreements with us.
We also share other types of information with our affiliates, including insurance companies and insurance service providers. This information may be financial or other personal information and it may be directly related to our transaction with you. Consistent with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, our standard authorizations permit us to share this information with our affiliates.
You do not need to call or do anything as a result of this notice. It is meant to inform you of how we safeguard your nonpublic personal financial information. You may wish to file this notice with your insurance papers.
