Lancer
Insurance Company ("LIC"), Lancer Management Company,
Inc. ("LMC") and their affiliates (referred to collectively
as "Lancer") are committed to treating the personal
information we collect about our customers, potential
customers, former customers and claimants with the
highest degree of confidentiality. For this reason
and in compliance with the law, Lancer has developed
a Privacy Policy that applies to all of these companies.
For purposes of this Policy, the term "personal information"
includes all information we obtain about an individual
and maintain in a personally identifiable way. In
order to assure the confidentiality of the personal
information we collect and in order to comply with
applicable laws, all individuals with access to personal
information about our customers, potential customers,
former customers and claimants are required to follow
this policy.
Collection,
Retention and Correction of Personal Information about
a Customer or Claimant
We collect personal information
about a customer, potential customer or claimant that
we determine is necessary to deliver our products
and services or to process a claim. Individuals with
access to personal information are to use such information
for such purposes only.
We
retain personal information only as long as required
by our business practices and applicable law.
If
we become aware that an item of personal information
may be materially inaccurate, we will make a reasonable
effort to re-verify its accuracy and correct any error
as appropriate.
Confidentiality
and Security
We maintain physical, electronic
and procedural safeguards to ensure that personal
information is treated in compliance with applicable
laws and regulations and in accordance with our privacy
policy. We also restrict access to personal information
within our organization to those employees who need
to know that information to provide products or services
to our customers or to conduct Lancer business. Employees
who have access to customer information may use it
only on behalf of Lancer for legitimate business purposes.
Disclosure
of Personal Information
We do not sell customer
information. We maintain procedures to assure that
we do not share personal information with any affiliated
or nonaffiliated third party unless such sharing is
permitted or required by law. Personal information
may be disclosed to a nonaffiliated third party for
necessary servicing of our products or other related
services or for other normal business transactions
as permitted by law.
We
require nonaffiliated third parties to whom we disclose
customer information for the purpose of performing
a service for us to sign an agreement that the information
will not be used or disclosed except to carry out
the purposes for which we disclosed the information
and only as permitted by applicable state and federal
law.
Personal
Information Relating to Mental or Physical Health
We do not use or share personal
information relating to mental or physical health
for any purpose except as required or permitted by
law or as otherwise authorized by the individual to
whom the information relates.
Inquiries
Questions regarding this
Privacy Policy should be directed to Lancer's General
Counsel at 370 West Park Avenue, P.O. Box 9004, Long
