Morris Insurance recognizes and
respects the privacy expectations of our customers and therefore has
made the safekeeping of customer information a priority. We maintain
physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with
Federal standards to guard your nonpublic personal information, and
we have enacted the following principles to ensure the safekeeping
of information entrusted to us.
Information Management: Morris Insurance limits the use,
collection, and retention of customer information to what it
believes necessary or useful to conduct business, provide quality
service, and offer products, services, and other opportunities that
may be of interest to our customers.
Information collection and retention
We collect and retain nonpublic personal information about you from
information we receive from you on applications or other forms; from
information through your transactions with us, our affiliates or
others; and from information we receive from a consumer reporting
agency during a normal business transaction.
Disclosure of Customer Information
Morris Insurance does not disclose any nonpublic personal
information about customers or former customers accounts or other
personally identified data to unaffiliated third parties for their
independent use, unless the information is provided: 1.) To assist
us in marketing and providing products and services to our customers
in the normal course of our business; 2.) At the request or with the
permission of the customer; or 3.) When the disclosure is permitted
by law or required by law enforcement or regulatory agencies.
We may also disclose certain limited information to a subsidiary
based on your relationship and transactions with us. We will not
disclose any other customer information to a subsidiary that we may
have from other sources, for example information we receive from a
consumer reporting agency.
If Morris Insurance provides identifiable customer information to a
third party with which we have a business relationship, we insist
that the third party adhere to strict privacy guidelines that
provide for keeping any such information confidential.
Maintenance of Accurate Customer Information: Morris
Insurance has established procedures to maintain the accuracy of
customer information and to keep such information current and
complete. These procedures include promptly responding to requests
to correct inaccurate information.
Limiting Employee Access to Information: Morris Insurance
restricts employee access to nonpublic personal information about
you to those with a business reason for knowing such information.
Employees are educated on the importance of maintaining the
confidentiality of customer information and our privacy policy.
Because of the importance of this issue, all Morris Insurance
employees are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of
customer information and employees who violate this privacy policy
are subject to disciplinary measures including termination.
On-Line Services Privacy: Morris Insurance understands how
important it is to protect privacy of our on-line customers. Our
goal is to protect your personal information on the Internet in the
same way that we protect all other ways we interact with you–in
our offices and over the phone. Morris Insurance will have access to
your information when you apply for or use any of our online
products or services. The information is retained on our system in
order to provide services requested.
