This notice from the member companies of the Farmers Insurance Group of Companies® listed below (“Farmers”) describes our privacy practices regarding information about our customers and former customers that obtain financial products or services from us for personal, family, or household purposes. When state law is more protective of individuals than federal privacy law, we will protect information in accordance with state law consistent with the requirements of federal preemption.

Information We Collect

We collect and maintain information about you to provide you with the coverage, product or service you request and to service your account.

• Information we receive from you on applications or other forms, such as your social security number, assets, income, and property information;
• Information about your transactions with us, our affiliates or others, such as your policy coverage, premiums, and payment history;
• Information we receive from a consumer reporting agency or insurance support organization, such as motor vehicle records, credit report information and claims history; and

Information We Disclose

We may disclose the nonpublic personal information we collect about you, as described above, to companies that perform marketing services on our behalf or to other financial institutions with which we have joint marketing agreements and to other third parties, all as permitted by law.

Many employers, benefit plans or plan sponsors restrict the information that can be shared about their employees or members by companies that provide them with products or services. If you have a relationship with Farmers or one of its affiliates as a result of products or services provided through an employer, benefit plan or plan sponsor, we will abide by the privacy restrictions imposed by that organization.

Modifications to our Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to change our privacy practices in the future, which may include sharing nonpublic personal information about you with non affiliated third parties. Before we do that, we will provide you with a revised privacy notice and give you the opportunity to opt out of that type of information sharing.
