PRIVACY NOTICE TO OUR CUSTOMERS
Absolute Air (“Absolute Air”) is committed to
providing quality products and exceptional service to you.
Absolute Air is just as committed to protecting the
confidentiality and security of information we collect about you.
This notice describes the information we collect, how we use it
and how we protect it.
WHY WE COLLECT INFORMATION
We collect and use information to evaluate your
request for our insurance or other products or services, to
evaluate benefit claims, to administer and market our products or
services and to process transactions requested by you.
WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We get most of our information directly from you.
This includes information we receive from you on applications or
other forms, and information from your visits to our Web site. We
also collect information by contacting third parties such as
consumer reporting agencies, employers, adult family members,
other insurers, physicians, medical professionals, hospitals,
medical facilities and the Medical Information Bureau. The
information we collect may relate to your finances, employment,
health, avocations or other personal characteristics as well as
your transactions with us or with others, including any affiliates
we may organize or acquire.
HOW WE PROTECT INFORMATION
We maintain physical, electronic and procedural
safeguards to protect the information we receive about you. Our
employees, Field associates, contractors and fraternal operations
are required to protect the confidentiality of this information
and to comply with our established policies. We restrict
information access to only those individuals with an appropriate
need, such as accessing your information to provide products,
service and fraternal services to you.
INFORMATION DISCLOSURE
We may disclose any information we collect about
you, or about our former customers, when we believe it is
necessary to conduct our business, or as required by law. For
example, we may disclose information about you to nonaffiliated
business partners in order to complete necessary business
transactions on your application, account or contract; in order to
comply with legal requirements such as tax reporting; in response
to subpoenas; to regulatory or law enforcement agencies; for audit
or research purposes; to reinsures and consumer reporting
agencies; to protect against fraud; to a medical institution or
professional to verify coverage or benefits or to inform you of a
medical problem of which you may not be aware; and, to our
fraternal operations so that you will receive the benefits of
fraternal membership. In some cases, we may ask an insurance
support organization to collect information about you. That
organization may disclose the information to others for whom it
performs services. We may also disclose information about you to
others that perform business services for us. For example, we may
disclose information to Field associates, companies that provide
general administrative services for us, or companies with whom we
contract to mail information to you. We may also provide
information about you, other than consumer report or health
information, to other financial institutions with which we have a
joint marketing agreement, to affiliates we may organize or
acquire so that they can offer you products or services and to
others that assist us in offering our products and services to
you.
ACCESS TO AND CORRECTION OF INFORMATION
Generally, upon your written request, we will make
available information collected about you for your review.
Information collected in connection with, or in anticipation of,
any claim or legal proceeding will not be made available. If you
notify us that the information is incorrect, we will review it. If
we agree, we will correct our records. If we do not agree, you may
submit a short statement of dispute, which we will include in any
future disclosure of information.
FURTHER INFORMATION
This notice is provided to you pursuant to federal
law which requires a our institution to notify its customers of
its privacy practices and procedures once each year. We reserve
the right to change our practices or procedures after providing
you proper notice. For additional information regarding our
privacy policy, please contact us at our Web site,
