Privacy statement for California.
Thank you for choosing Nationwide®.
Our privacy statement explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal information. So just how do we protect your privacy? In a nutshell, we respect your right to privacy and promise to treat your personal information responsibly. It’s as simple as that. Here’s how.
Confidentiality and security
We follow all data security laws. We protect your information by using
physical, technical, and procedural safeguards. We limit access to your
information to those who need it to do their jobs. Our business partners
are also legally bound to use your information for our purposes only.
They may not share it or use it in any other way.
Collecting and using your personal information
We collect information about you when you ask about or buy one of our
products or services. The information comes from your application,
business transactions with us, and consumer reports. Please know that we
only use that information to sell, service, or market products to
you.

Sharing your information for business purposes
We share your information with our sister companies and business
partners. When you buy a product, we may share your personal information
for everyday business purposes. Some examples include mailing your
statements or processing transactions that you request. You cannot opt
out of these. We may also share your personal information where federal
and state law requires.
Sharing your information for marketing purposes
We don’t sell your information to anyone – period. We may share your
personal information with other Nationwide companies or business partners
to market products to you. We have joint marketing agreements with our
business partners. This means that we have partnered with them to offer
you a new product that might interest you. They may use your personal
information to market their products. If you would like to learn more
about opting out, please read the next section.
Opting out
You can ask us not to share your personal information with Nationwide companies or our business partners to market new products to you. Just remember, Nationwide offers many different types of products and services. If you would like to learn about these products from one of our companies, you may not want to opt out. To opt out, you don’t need to opt out again. Each account holder may opt out separately.
We will not share the personal information of Vermont customers with any
Nationwide affiliates or third parties for marketing purposes without
your consent.
Accessing your information
You can always ask us for a copy of your personal information. This includes any information from applications and forms that you completed when establishing an account with us. Please send a letter to the address below and have your signature notarized. This is for your protection so we may prove your identity. We don’t charge a fee for giving you a copy of your information now, but we may charge a small fee in the future.
You can contact us to change information that we control, such as your
address. But, we can’t update information that other companies, like
credit agencies, provide to us. So, you’ll need to contact these other
companies to change and correct your information.
