Evergreen Life is committed to protecting your privacy. In order to issue our life insurance policies and to provide superior policyowner service, we must collect personal information about our insureds and policyowners.
Our Privacy Policy is based upon the following:
- We will not sell information about our insureds or owners.
- We will not share personal information with anyone else for marketing purposes.
- We will only use personal information to help us transact the desired business with you.
- We will only share personal information with third parties which provide business services to us in regard to our policies and contracts. Examples of such third parties are reinsurers, our administrator and similar parties.
What kind of personal information do we collect?
The type of information that we collect is dependant on whether you are merely perusing our website or whether you intend to proceed further in order to apply for an Evergreen policy. Should you wish to obtain access to the secure portion of the website, you will be required to provide certain information about yourself. We require this information for the purposes such as the verification of your identity and to assess eligibility.
- Information provided by you when you register to obtain a user name and password in order to proceed to use the website (for example: your name and e-mail address).
- Information provided by you in order to obtain a personalized illustration of the potential benefits under our life insurance policies (for example: your age, gender, or the amount of premium being considered by you in respect of a life insurance policy).
- Further information provided by you in order to actually apply for a life insurance policy (for example: medical and health information, social security number, net assets and other personal and financial information that is requested on the application for life insurance).
- Information we obtain from other sources, such as credit reporting agencies, and information to verify employment, income or assets.
- Medical or health information that you have given us permission to receive from doctors or other health care providers.

Most of the information we collect is obtained directly from you. We may collect additional information in order to issue the policy and to service and administer it.
How do we use and disclose your information?
The main use of your information is to confirm your identity and health status in order for us to issue a life insurance policy on your life. Such personal information will be used to underwrite the life policy, process claims and service your account.
In relation to our transactions with you, information may be disclosed to other entities that provide us with business services, including administrative, reinsurance, claims or audit services. Before we disclose your information to them, these entities must agree to keep it private.
Information will be disclosed where required by law; for example a routine filing with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (such as a Form 1099) or assistance with the prevention of fraud or anti-money laundering which might require disclosures to be made to a regulatory or law enforcement agency.
What medical and health information do we collect?
We will be obtaining medical or health information about you. This may be as a result of your application for a policy or when we process a claim and will include medical examination and doctors’ reports. We only share this information where necessary in order to process your transactions relating to your insurance coverage.
