Depending on your particular program, we may also cancel your product, service, or insurance coverage as a result of these actions.
Smart Home is a program offering protection systems that monitor the safety, security, and loss prevention status of your residence through a mobile device.

In some cases, this may also include information sent from these sensors, alarms, or other devices.

Victims of Domestic Violence Have Confidentiality Rights.
New York State Insurance Law Section 2612 prohibits insurers from discriminating against victims of domestic violence. This law requires insurance companies to comply with valid orders of protection against an insured or anyone covered under an insured’s policy. While the order is in place, the insurance company is prohibited from sharing the address and telephone number of the protected persons, or of any person or entity providing covered services to the protected person. If a child is the protected person, the child’s parent or guardian must assert these rights.
Except with the express consent of the person making the request for an order of protection, Nationwide will not disclose to the policyholder or another insured covered under the policy the address, telephone number, or any other personally identifying information of the covered individual or children residing with the covered individual. Nationwide is also prohibited from disclosing any information relating to abuse, including the nature of the health care services provided to the covered individual. This information could include the name, address, and telephone number of the provider of the health care services, or any other information that could lead to the discovery of the above information.
Where applicable, you have the ability to further protect yourself by creating a new online account with new credentials and by placing your policy in your own name.
Please feel free to submit a valid order of protection to:
