Privacy Policy
Eland Agency
Eland Agency values you as a customer and is committed to providing quality insurance
and services to you. We are equally committed to protecting your nonpublic personal
information that we obtain in providing you our services.
Why We Collect and How We use Information
We collect and use information for business purposes with respect to our insurance
products and services and other business relations involving our customer. We gather this
information and share it with the insurance or service providers to evaluate your request
for insurance or other services, to evaluate insurance claims, to administer, maintain or
review an insurance policy, and to process insurance transactions. The insurance or
service providers are also subject to the same laws concerning their use of your nonpublic
personal information. We gather this information and may use it to help with your overall
insurance program or to market additional products or services. We may also use this
information to offer other products or services that we, or our affiliates provide.
How We Collect Information
Much of the information we collect comes directly from you. You gave some of this
information to us on your application or request for insurance or other products we off.
We keep information about the types of products or services you purchase from us, as
well as account balance, and payment history. You may also be asked to provide
additional information directly to our affiliates, insurance companies or insurance
providers or other entities working on our behalf or theirs. They are also subject to the
same laws concerning their use of your nonpublic personal information. We may also
obtain information from outside sources, including consumer reporting agencies,
insurance providers and health care providers. This information includes loss reports,
motor vehicles reports, credit reports, and medical information.
How We Protect This Information
We do not sell this information. We communicate to our employees to protect the
confidentiality of information as required by law. Access to information by our
employees is limited to administering, offering, servicing, processing, or maintaining our
products or services. When we share information with companies working on our behalf,
we expect those companies to use that information only to provide the service we have
asked them to perform.
Correction and Access to Information
Upon our receipt of your written request for information to us at PO Box 640, Mediapolis,
IA 52637, we will generally make available information for your review. Some outside
agencies have restrictions on what information we obtain from them can be disclosed. In
this case, we will provide the needed address where they can be contacted directly. If you
feel that the information is incorrect or inaccurate, you may request that we make any
necessary corrections, additions or deletions. If we agree and it is within our control, we
will attempt to make the requested adjustments. If we do not agree or it is not within our
control, we will provide the address to the appropriate party who may be able to make the
requested adjustment.
