Under federal law, some banks and
insurance companiesmay have the right to share sensitive and
personal information about you with other entities and
business interests ñ without your permission.
Florida laws, and rules established by
the Florida Department of Financial Services, provide a way
for you to protect this information. You must take the lead
in protecting your personal information as the policyholder.
When you purchase a financial or
insurance product, you will receive a privacy notice. 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,
call the DFS Consumer Helpline toll-free at 1-800-342-2762.
