Privacy Statement for Dairyland Agent
Welcome to dairylandagent.com. It is provided and owned by Sentry Insurance Company and/or its affiliated companies (collectively, "Sentry"). Sentry respects the privacy of each user who visits our Web site. Sentry has adopted this Web site Privacy Policy ("Policy") to memorialize Sentry's current data collection and disclosure policies and practices for dairylandagent.com and its related Web pages (the "Site").
Summary of Information Practices
To make fair insurance decisions, we must gather accurate information. Your insurance or agent application and your responses to questions on the Site are our primary source of information. In some cases, information about your general reputation, character, mode of living and finances will be gathered through personal interviews with employers, business associates, government units, financial institutions or references you provide. If you make a written request, we'll give you a complete and accurate account of the type of any investigation we have requested. The information contained in a report prepared for us by an outside agency may be kept by the agency and disclosed to others.
We will not release information about you to other persons or organizations without your authorization except in these instances: (1) to our employees, agents or affiliated companies only when necessary in the handling of your insurance; (2) to insurance support organizations established to control insurance crimes or fraud; (3) to organizations not affiliated with us when necessary to complete your insurance transactions; (4) if we are required to do so by statute, regulation, subpoena or law enforcement authorities.
If we decline an application for coverage or cancel a policy, we'll give the specific reasons for the decision to the person named in the application or in the declarations page. If our decision was based on an outside agency's report, we'll provide the agency's name and address.
How to Review and Correct Information Collected
If you have questions about information we may have about you, we will release details of the nature of information held in our records. Information contained in a report prepared by a reporting agency will be disclosed only through that agency.
To get this information contact: Sentry Insurance, Office of Consumer Affairs, 1800 North Point Drive, Stevens Point, Wisconsin 54481. We'll then send our inquiry form for you to complete and return to us.
If you feel we have inaccurate information about you, you may ask that it be corrected, amended or deleted. Please send your request in writing with proper identification to the above address. We'll notify you of any action taken, or that we are unable to comply with your request. In that case, you can place a concise statement of what you believe to be correct information in our records. Your statement will be included in any subsequent disclosure of recorded information.
