We limit sharing some of your more sensitive information for marketing purposes. In the future, if we share this data with our affiliates for marketing purposes, we will provide you with the right to opt-out of such information sharing.  

We do not collect, use, or share your protected health information unless you expressly authorize it or it is permitted or required by law. If you authorize a disclosure, you may revoke that authorization at any time in writing, except to the extent that we have already taken action on the information disclosed or if we are permitted by law to use the information to contest a claim. We will use and share any protected health information you permit us to receive only with persons acting on our behalf to perform our insurance functions and only for the purpose for which we received it, or as otherwise permitted or required by law.

COOKIES

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. When you visit the website again, the cookie allows that site to recognize your browser. Cookies are widely used by online service providers in order to make their websites or services work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and to share information. Cookies that are set by the website owner or service provider (in this case, Everly and Security Benefit Life) are called “first party cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third party cookies”. Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website or service you are using (such as advertising, interactive content and analytics). The third parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website or service in question and also when it visits certain other websites or services.

We use first party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our websites, applications (“apps”) and services to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies enable us and the third parties we work with to track and target the interests of visitors to our websites and apps, and we refer to these as “performance” or “functionality” cookies. For example, we use cookies to tailor content and information that we may send or display to you and otherwise personalize your experience while interacting with our websites and apps and to otherwise improve the functionality of the services we provide. We also enable third parties to serve cookies through our websites and apps and services for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.

Our digital properties (i.e. website, apps) use a variety of cookies, including:

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies. These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not work if you do block these cookies. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
  • Performance Cookies. These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
  • Functional Cookies. These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
  • Targeting Cookies. These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.
  • Targeted online advertising. We have engaged one or more third party service providers to track and analyze both individualized usage and volume statistical information from interactions with our Websites. We also partner with one or more third parties (such as advertisers and ad networks) to display advertising on our Websites and/or to manage and serve advertising on other sites. These third parties use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags and similar tracking technologies to collect and use certain information about your online activities, either on our Websites and/or other sites or mobile apps, to infer your interests and deliver you targeted advertisements that are more tailored to you based on your browsing activities and inferred interests (“Interest Based Advertising”). For more information about this practice, visit: aboutads.info/choices
  • Our third-party service providers may also use cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to our Websites and/or other sites to measure and track the effectiveness of advertisements and our online marketing activities (for example, by collecting data on how many times you click on one of our ads). The information collected by these third parties does not include personal information that enables you to be specifically identified (e.g. by reference to your name or email address).
  • Among other cookies, we use Google Analytics. You can learn more about how those cookies work by visiting “How Google Uses Data When You Use Our Partners’ Sites or Apps,” located here.

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies.

  • Website Cookie Preference Tool: You can exercise preferences about what cookies are served on our Websites by visiting the TRUSTe preference center by visiting: preferences-mgr.truste.com
  • Browser Controls: You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our Websites though your access to some functionality and areas of our Websites may be restricted. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information.
  • Disabling Most Interest Based Advertising: Most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of Interest Based Advertising. If you would like to find out more information, visit: aboutads.info/choices or youronlinechoices.com
  • Mobile Advertising: You can opt out of having your mobile advertising identifiers used for certain types of Interest Based Advertising, including those performed by us, by accessing the settings in your Apple or Android mobile device and following the most recent published instructions. If you opt out, we will remove all data about you and no further data collection or tracking will occur. The random ID we (or our third party partners) had previously assigned to you will also be removed. This means that if at a later stage, you decide to opt-in, we will not be able to continue and track you using the same ID as before, and you will for all practical purposes be a new user to our system.
  • Do Not Track Signals: Various third parties are developing ways for consumers to express their choice about the collection of the individual consumer’s online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services. We do not currently take actions to respond to Do Not Track signals because a uniform technological standard has not yet been developed. We continue to review new technologies and may adopt a standard once one is created. To find out more about “do not track,” please visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.

HOW TO SUBMIT A REQUEST TO EXERCISE YOUR RIGHTS

Authorized Agent

You may designate an authorized agent to submit a request to know or a request to delete on your behalf. 

If that agent is not already authorized to access your account in your profile, please submit a notice in writing that provides the authorized agent with permission to make a request to know or a request to delete on your behalf. We may also ask you to verify your identity directly with us. 

We will deny a request from an authorized agent that does not submit proof that they have been authorized by you to act on your behalf.

Request to know: You or your authorized agent may submit a request to know by calling this toll-free number – 1-855-290-0529 – to speak to a customer service representative.

If we deny your request in whole or in part, we will provide you with an explanation or direct you to our general business practices for collecting personal data. Under no circumstances will we provide the requestor with a consumer’s Social Security number, driver’s license number or other government-issued identification number, financial account numbers, any health insurance or medical identification numbers, any account passwords, or any security questions and answers. If you maintain a password-protected account with us, we may comply with your request to know by using a secure self-service portal for you to use to access, view and receive a portable copy of your personal information. We will use reasonable security measures when transmitting information to a consumer.

Request to delete: You or your authorized agent may submit a request to delete all or some of your personal information by calling this toll-free number – 1-855-290-0529 – to speak to a customer service representative.  

Submitting a request to delete is a two-step process. After you submit a request to delete, we will ask you separately to confirm that you want all or some of your personal information deleted.

Once we receive your verified request to delete and confirm your identity, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless the information is subject to other laws or we need the information to:

  • Complete the transaction for which we collected the Personal Information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you
  • Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities
  • Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality
  • Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 seq.)
  • Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us
  • Comply with a legal obligation
  • Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided

HOW WE WILL VERIFY YOUR IDENTITY

Only you, or an authorized agent, may submit a request to know or to delete your personal information.  You may also make a request on behalf of your minor child.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period.  The verifiable consumer request must:

  • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or an authorized representative
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will use the personal information you provide to us when submitting a consumer request only to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Policy/Contract owners who have a web-access account:  if you have a web-based account with us that has a password, we will verify your identity using our existing authentication process.  We may require you to correctly match at least two data points we have previously collected about you. We will match this information against information we have previously collected about you to verify your identity and your request. If we are unable to verify your identity as part of your request, we will not honor your request.

Policy/Contract owner who do not have a web-access account:  If you do not have a web-access account with us, we will require the following information to verify your identity: 

  • For requests to know categories of personal information:  We will require you to correctly match at least two data points we have previously collected about you. 
  • For requests to know specific pieces of personal information we have collected in the past 12 months: We will require you to correctly match at least three data points we have previously collected about you. We may also require you to sign a declaration under penalty of perjury that the requestor is the consumer whose personal information is being requested.
  • For requests to delete: We will require you to correctly match at least two or three data points we have previously collected about you, depending on the sensitivity of the personal information you are requesting. We may also require you to sign a declaration under penalty of perjury that the requestor is the consumer whose personal information is being requested.

Data we may request to verify your identity: When we request additional information from you to verify your identity, we may request other account information, answers to security questions, your name, government identification number, date of birth, contact information, or other personal identifying information.

HOW WE WILL RESPOND TO YOUR REQUEST

We intend to confirm receipt of your request within 10 business days and to respond to a verified request within 45 calendar days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. If you have an account with us, we will provide a written response to you via your account portal. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of a verified request from you. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For requests to know the specific pieces of information we have collected, we will select a format to provide your Personal Information that is readily usable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
