The following is the privacy policy and practices of United Benefits, Inc., and its affiliates (companies related by common ownership or control), hereafter known as “UBI,” including, but not limited to: United Funeral Directors Benefit Life Insurance Company, United Benefits Life Insurance Company and United Preneed Funeral Plans, Inc.
Financial companies choose how they share your personal information. Federal law gives consumers the right to limit some but not all sharing. Federal law also requires us to tell you how we collect, share, and protect your personal information. Please read this notice carefully to understand what we do.
Information We May Collect and Use
So that we can provide our products and services to you, we must collect personal information. The type of information we collect depends on the products and services you are interested in and whether you are the proposed insured. For example, we may collect information such as your name, date of birth, address, and telephone number. And we may collect other information such as your health, financial, and employment history. We may also collect information to confirm your identity such as your Social Security number.
We may gather information about you from sources such as:
-
Applications or claim forms, and required medical exams or tests;
-
Written, electronic, telephone and other communications from you;
-
Medical providers, consumer reporting agencies, and other companies with whom you do business;
-
Your transactions with us, such as policy, payment and claim information.
We collect most information at the time of application or claim. However, we may need more information if you request a change to your contract or other service.
In some cases, we may use an insurance support organization or an investigative consumer agency to collect information that we need. They may keep a copy of their report to us. They may also share its contents with others for whom they perform such services. These disclosures are made only as allowed by law and with appropriate authorization from you.
All financial companies need to share customer’s personal financial information to run their everyday business. In the section below, we list the reasons financial companies can share their customer’s personal financial information; the reasons UBI chooses to share; and whether you can limit this sharing.

Why Can’t I Limit All Sharing?
Federal law gives you the right to limit only

affiliates from using your information to market to you
-
sharing for nonaffiliates to market to you
State laws and individual companies may give you additional rights to limit sharing.
