Workmen’s Auto Insurance Company

Workmen’s Auto Insurance Company (“Workmen’s” or “we/us/our”) appreciates the trust you place in us when you ask us to help protect you and your assets. You trust us with your private, personal information when you purchase insurance from us, and we are committed to protecting this information. Workmen’s does not sell information about you to others.

Workmen’s Use of Your Personal Information

We treat your information with respect and concern for your privacy. We do not disclose any nonpublic personal information about our customers or former customers to anyone, except as permitted or required by law.

For example, we may share any or all of your information with our affiliated companies. We may also disclose any or all information we have collected about you to companies that perform services on our behalf.

When we make this type of disclosure it is done to service your Workmen’s account or policy, or to inform you about Workmen’s products and services. Before disclosing your information, we require these companies to agree to keep it confidential and use it only for the transaction we request.

Independent Brokers

The independent insurance brokers authorized to sell Workmen’s products and services are not Workmen’s employees and are not subject to Workmen’s Privacy Policy. Because they have a unique business relationship with you, they may have additional personal information about you that Workmen’s does not. They may use this information differently than Workmen’s. Contact your broker or advisor to learn more about their privacy practices.

Protecting Your Personal Information from Unauthorized Access

We limit employee access to customer information to those employees with a legitimate business reason for such access.

California Consumer Privacy Act

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA"), California residents have the right to request that we disclose:

• The categories of personal information that we have collected about you,
• The categories of sources from which personal information is collected,
• The business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling information,
• The categories of third-parties with whom we share personal information, and
• The specific pieces of personal information that we have collected about you.

Much of this information is provided in this Privacy Statement. You also have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you. You may submit a request by clicking here, or by calling (800) 928-8221. Please be aware, however, that the CCPA does not apply to information that we collect and share in the normal course of our insurance business, such as information collected when you request a quote, purchase a policy, or when we are investigating and paying claims. The CCPA also does not apply to information you may have provided in connection with an employment or brokerage relationship with our company. So we will be unable to delete such information, and other legal obligations require us to retain it.

We cannot provide any information unless we are able to verify the identity of the person making a request. You may use an authorized agent to submit a CCPA request on your behalf, in which case we will require proof that the agent has been authorized.

You have the right to be free from discriminatory treatment for exercising your privacy rights under the CCPA. Workmen’s Auto Insurance Company does not and will not sell your personal information to others.

If you have a CCPA-related complaint, or if you wish to provide notice of an alleged violation in accordance with California Civil Code section 1798.150(b), it must be sent in writing to CCPA@waic.com, or to the mailing address below.
