Protecting Your Privacy

Under federal law, some banks and insurance companies may have the right to share sensitive and personal information about you with other entities and business interests without your permission. Fortunately, Florida laws, and rules established by the Department of Financial Services, provide a way for you to protect this personal information. As the policyholder, you must take the lead in protecting your personal information.

You may have already received, or soon will receive, privacy notices from the insurance company. These forms give you the opportunity to tell the company that you want your personal information kept private. Unless you complete and return these forms, your personal financial and medical information may be shared with other companies. You may receive these forms on an annual basis and be required to complete them to keep your information confidential.

When you receive a privacy notice form, read it carefully before signing it to avoid unintentionally giving the company permission to share information about you. If you have questions or concerns about these forms, or about any information contained in this publication, call the Consumer Helpline toll-free at 1-800-342-2762.
