Trust Risk Management Services, Inc.
Notice of Privacy Policies
PURPOSE OF THIS NOTICE
The privacy of personal information is important to Trust Risk Management
Services, Inc. ("TRMS") and its affiliate and parent organization. Title V of
the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ("GLBA") is a United States law that generally
prohibits any financial institution, directly or through its affiliates, from
sharing nonpublic personal information about consumers or customers with a
nonaffiliated third party unless the institution provides the appropriate
consumer or customer with a notice of its privacy policies and practices, such
as the type of information that it collects from consumers and customers and
the categories of persons or entities to whom the information may be disclosed.
In compliance with the GLBA and state laws relating to privacy in the industry,
and in order to notify our clients of our privacy practices, we are providing
you with this document to inform you of our privacy policies and practices.

The GLBA and this notice do not effect any rights an individual Client may have

3. Our practices regarding information confidentiality and security:
We restrict access to nonpublic personal information about Clients to those
employees of ours and our affiliates who need to know that information in order
to provide products or services to our Clients. We have physical, electronic,
and procedural safeguards in place to guard all nonpublic personal information
we maintain regarding Clients.
The Trust Companies have strategically partnered with other businesses who provide products and services we deem may be of interest to you. Because of this, these partners may periodically send you information via email, direct mail, or other means. If you do not want The Trust Companies to share your information in this manner, you can request to be removed from these solicitations by sending an email to opt-out@trustinsurance.com indicating the information you would like us to remove. Every effort will be made to remove your information from future distribution, but please keep in mind that some communications may already be in the works and beyond the point of removal.
