About your transactions with our affiliates and us, such as account balances, payment history and loss history.

Keeping Your Information Secure is a Priority - We treat your information confidentially. We authorize access to information only to those who need to know that information in order to provide products or services for you.

If we provide more than one product or service to you, you may receive more than one privacy notice from us. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you, but we want to be sure that you are aware of our privacy practices.
How We Share Information
We may share any of the information we collect without prior authorization as permitted by law. For example, we may share information with affiliates and nonaffiliated third parties who perform business and administrative services for us, with our agents and their employees so that they may service your account and offer products and services on our behalf, with consumer reporting agencies, with law enforcement or regulatory agencies, in response to a subpoena, for audit or research purposes or to prevent or detect fraud. We may also share certain information about you (such as your name, address, and payment history) or your experiences with us (such as your claims history) with our affiliates in order to offer you insurance products and services.
You have the right to restrict certain information sharing (“Opt Out”). If you prefer that we do not share information as described in this paragraph, you may direct us not to by completing and returning the Opt Out Request printed below. We call this “opting out.” You may opt out at any time. Unless you opt out, we may share any of the information we collect (other than medical or consumer report information) with selected nonaffiliated third parties, such as financial service providers, securities broker-dealers, membership organizations, insurance companies, and their agents and representatives so that they may offer products and services that may interest you. We may also share information about you (such as your name, address, and payment history) or your experiences with us (such as your claims history) with our affiliates so that they may offer noninsurance products and services that we believe may suit your needs. In addition, we may share with our affiliates certain information regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, including information obtained from a consumer report, such as your driving record or employment history.
Please understand that your opt out request does not prohibit us or our agents from contacting you in order to service your account or offer additional products or services, and does not prevent us from sharing information without prior authorization as permitted by law. If you choose to opt out, you may not receive information about products and services that may interest you in the future. Your opt out will apply to the nonpublic personal information identified with the Farm Family policies that you list on your Opt Out Request. While we will try to apply your opt out request to all of your policies (including any not listed on your request form), differences in policy information may prevent us from applying your request to any policies not listed. If you have a Farm Family policy jointly with another customer, your opt out request will apply to the information of all joint customers associated with the policy. Your opt out request will remain in effect unless you revoke it in writing. If you would like to revoke your opt out request, please write to our Corporate Secretary at the address listed below under “Further Information.”
Notice to Our Vermont Policyholders - We do not share information about our Vermont policyholders other than as permitted by law. Vermont policyholders do not need to return the Opt Out Request in order to restrict our sharing of your information.
Further Information - This privacy policy may change from time to time. We will provide you with a summary of our privacy policy at least annually, as long as you are a Farm Family customer. You may have additional rights or be entitled to further information under state law. For additional information regarding our privacy policy, please write to our Corporate Secretary at Farm Family, PO Box 656, Albany, NY 12201-0656.
