Privacy Policy

The trust of our customers is Colonial Life Insurance Company of Texas' most valuable asset. Colonial Life safeguards that trust by keeping nonpublic personal information about customers in a secure environment and using that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy includes examples of the types of nonpublic personal information we collect and the kinds of companies with whom we share such information. These examples are illustrative and should not be considered a complete inventory of our information collection, use and sharing practices. In addition, you may have other privacy protections under some state laws. We will comply with applicable state laws regarding information about you. For example, certain state laws may restrict the types of information we may disclose about you or require us to provide you with additional notices.

Please note that this Privacy Policy will not apply to your relationships with other financial service providers, such as banks, credit card issuers, finance companies and independent insurance agents that are not a part of Colonial Life affiliated companies listed at the end of the Privacy Policy. Their privacy policies will govern how they collect, use and disclose personal information that you allow them to access.
