Farmers Privacy Notice

In the course of our business relationship with you, we collect information about you that is necessary to provide you with our products and services. We treat this information as confidential and recognize the importance of protecting it. We value your confidence in us.

You trust us with an important part of your financial life. We are proud of our privacy policies and procedures and encourage you to review them carefully. This notice is applicable to those personal insurance policies written through the underwriting companies listed below and recently acquired by the Farmers Insurance Group of Companies® listed below* and 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.

We collect certain information ("nonpublic personal information") about you and the members of your household ("you"), as permitted by law, from the following sources:

  • 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 and claims history; and
  • If you obtain a life, long-term care or disability product, information we receive from you, medical professionals who have provided care to you and insurance support organizations regarding your health.

How we protect your information

At Farmers, our customers are our most valued assets. Protecting your privacy is important to us. We restrict access to personal information about you to those individuals, such as our employees and agents, who provide you with our products and services. We require those individuals to whom we permit access to your customer information to protect it and keep it confidential. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with applicable regulatory standards to guard your nonpublic personal information.

We do not disclose any nonpublic personal information about you, as our customer or former customer, except as described in this notice.

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, plan sponsors and affinity groups 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.

We are permitted to disclose personal health information (1) to process your transaction with us, for instance, to determine eligibility for coverage, to process claims or to prevent fraud; (2) with your written authorization, and (3) otherwise as permitted by law.

Sharing information with affiliates

The Farmers family encompasses various affiliates that offer a variety of financial products and services in addition to insurance. Sharing information enables our affiliates to offer you a more complete range of products and services.

We may disclose nonpublic personal information, as described under Information we collect, to our affiliates, which include:

  • Financial service providers such as insurance companies and reciprocals, investment companies, underwriters and brokers/dealers; and
  • Non-financial service providers, such as management companies, attorneys-in-fact and billing companies.

We are permitted by law to share with our affiliates our transaction and experience information with you.

In addition, we may share with our affiliates consumer report information, such as information from consumer reports and certain application information, that we have received from you and from third parties, such as consumer reporting agencies and insurance support organizations.

Your choice

If it is your decision not to allow sharing of your consumer report information with our affiliates in the Farmers Insurance Group of Companies® you may opt out of such disclosures, that is, you may direct us not to make those disclosures—other than the disclosures that are permitted by law. If you wish to opt out of disclosures to the Farmers Insurance Group of Companies, you may do so by following the procedure explained in the enclosed Opt-Out Form. You may opt out only by returning the Opt-Out Form. We will implement your request within a reasonable time.

If it is your decision not to opt out and to allow sharing of your information with the Farmers Insurance Group of Companies, you do not need to complete the Opt-Out Form or respond in any way.

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 nonaffiliated 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.
