Abstract Privacy Policy
We
recognize and respect the privacy expectations of
today's consumers and the requirements of applicable
federal and state privacy laws. We believe that making
you aware of how we use your non-public personal information
("personal information"), and to whom it
is disclosed, will form the basis for a relationship
of trust between us and the public that we serve.
This privacy statement provides that explanation.
We reserve the right to change this privacy statement
from time to time consistent with applicable privacy
laws.
In the course of our business, we may collect
personal information about you from the following
sources:
1.
From application or other forms we receive from
you or your authorized representative;
2. From your transactions with, or from the services
being performed by, us, our affiliates, or others;
3. From our internet web sites;
4. From the public records maintained by governmental
entities that we either obtain directly from those
entities, or from our affiliates or others; and
5. From consumer or other reporting agencies
Our policies regarding the protection of the
confidentiality
and security of your personal information:
We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards
to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized
access or intrusion. We limit access to the Personal
Information only to those employees who need such
access in connection with providing products or services
to you or for other legitimate business purposes.
Our policies and practices regarding the sharing
of your personal information:
We may share your personal information with our affiliates,
such as insurance companies, agents, and other real

to agents, brokers or representatives to provide
you with services you have requested;
2. to third-party contractors or service providers
who provide services or perform marketing or other
functions on our behalf; and
3. to others with whom we enter into joint marketing
agreements for products or services that we believe
you may find of interest
In addition, we will disclose your personal Information
when you direct or give us permission, when we are
required by law to do so, or when we suspect fraudulent
or criminal activities. We also may disclose your
Personal Information when otherwise permitted by applicable
privacy laws such as, for example, when disclosure
is needed to enforce our rights arising out of any
agreement, transaction or relationship with you. One
of the important responsibilities of some of our affiliated
companies is to record documents in the public domain.
Such documents may contain your personal information.

to find out to whom your personal information has
been disclosed. Also, certain states afford you the
right to request correction, amendment or deletion
of your personal information. We reserve the right,
where permitted by law, to charge a reasonable fee
to cover the costs incurred in responding to such
