1. What is covered by this Privacy Statement?
This privacy statement applies to the information we collect on this website. It does not apply to any information we may collect offline or through other means, including any other Mutual Trust website and/or third party website.

2. What kind of information do we collect from you?
Data collected directly from website visitors. In most instances, you can visit our website without providing any personal data. However, on some pages, you may give us your personal data by filling out forms or by corresponding with us by post, phone, email or otherwise. This includes personal data you provide when you:
• request information on our products or services
• create an account on our website
• subscribe to our blog or newsletter
• request marketing information
• enter a competition, promotion or survey
• give us feedback or contact us

The personal data that we collect may include:
• contact details, such as your name, title, company/organization name, email address, telephone and fax numbers, date of birth and physical address
• information about your company and job position

We may also collect information on:
• your preferences with respect to email marketing
• your profile including username and password, your interests or preferences, feedback and survey responses
• your inquiries about our products and services, as well as information that assists us in identifying the best products and services for you
• contest entry and event registration information
• feedback from you about our products and services, including our websites.

You are not required to provide any information. However, if you choose not to, we may not be able to provide you with the service you request or complete your transaction. Data collected by automated means. We collect certain data about all visitors to our website, including what pages they view, the number of bytes transferred, the links they click, and other actions taken within our websites. We may also use this information to improve our security measures. We also collect certain standard information that your browser sends to every website you visit, such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address, your browser type and capabilities and language, your operating system, the date and time you access the site, and the website from which you linked to our site.

3. Our Use of "Cookies"
Cookies are small files that websites save to your hard disk or to your browser's memory. Our website may use them to track the number of times you have visited the website, to track the number of visitors to the website, to determine and analyze visitors' use of our website, to store data that you provide (such as your preferences), and to store technical information related to your interactions with our website. We may also use session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, to store your user ID, to facilitate your movement around our websites.

Our website may also contain electronic images known as Web beacons-sometimes called single-pixel gifs-that allow us to count the number of users who have visited those pages. We may include Web beacons in promotional email messages or newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon, including whether the recipient clicked on a link in the email or forwarded the email to another person.

Adjusting Browser Settings to Manage Cookies or Send "Do Not Track" Signals:

Many Internet browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies or to notify you when a cookie is being placed on your computer. If you choose not to accept cookies, you may not be able to experience all of the features of our websites. Internet browsers also enable you to delete existing cookies, although this means that your existing settings (including stored user IDs and other preferences) will be lost. Some web browsers may also give you the ability to enable a ''do not track" setting. This setting sends a signal to the websites you encounter while web browsing. This "do not track'. signal is different from disabling tracking capabilities by declining cookies in your browser settings, as browsers with the "do not track'' setting still enabled may continue to accept cookies. Mutual Trust does not respond to web browser ''do not track" signals at this time.

Social Media Third Party Cookies

During your visit to this website, you may notice embedded content from other social media websites. These websites may also contain cookies. Mutual Trust has no control or responsibility for these cookies. You should check the third party's cookie policy for more information.

4. Our Use of Personal Information
We will use personal data collected from our website only for the purposes set forth below.
Services and transactions. We use personal data to deliver services or execute transactions you request, such as providing information about Mutual Trust products and services, answering customer service requests, and facilitating use of our website. Information collected by our website may be combined with information we collect by other means, such as phone, e-mail or paper.

Website improvement. We may use data about you to improve our website (including our security measures) and related products or services, or to make our website easier to use by eliminating the need for you to repeatedly enter the same information, or by customizing our website to your particular preference or interests.

Marketing Communications. With your permission, we may use personal data to inform you of products or services available from Mutual Trust. When collecting information that might be used to contact you about our products and services, we will give you the opportunity to opt-out from receiving such communications. Moreover, each email communication we send will include an unsubscribe link allowing you to stop delivery of that type of communication. If you elect to unsubscribe, we will remove you from the relevant list within 10 business days.

Employment Applications. In connection with a job application or inquiry, you may provide us with data about yourself, including your educational background, resume or curriculum vitae, and other information, including your ethnicity where required or permitted by law. We may use this information throughout Mutual Trust and its affiliates for the purpose of employment consideration. We will keep the information for future consideration unless you direct us not to do so.

5. Sharing of Personal Information
Your personal information may be shared with other Mutual Trust affiliates to provide the services you request. All Mutual Trust affiliates are governed by this Privacy Statement or are bound by appropriate confidentiality and data transfer agreements.

Disclosure to service providers. Mutual Trust contracts or may contract with other companies to provide services, such as hosting websites, sending out information, processing transactions, and analyzing our websites. We provide these companies with only those elements of personal data they need to deliver those services. These companies and their employees are prohibited from using the personal data for any other purposes.

Disclosure for other reasons. We may disclose personal data if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with legal requirements or respond to court orders, to protect and defend our rights or property, or in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of any individual.

Mutual Trust stores data in controlled servers with limited access. Your information may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country where Mutual Trust's affiliates are located.

6. International Transfers of Personal Information
We may transfer personal information that we collect through our website to, and store such information in, countries other than the country from which that information was initially collected or the countries from which individual site visitors may access the website. The countries, including the U.S. (and the other countries around the world where our individual affiliates, suppliers, or business partners maintain offices), to which we may transfer such information may have different data protection laws than the countries from which the information was initially collected or from which individual website visitors access the website.

By choosing to use our website and to submit personal data to us through it, you consent to the transfer of such information outside of your country. To the extent required by applicable law, when we transfer your personal information to recipients in other countries, we will take measures to protect that information.

7. How long do we keep personal information?
We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a potential of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

8. How do we protect personal information?
We have appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, altered, disclosed or accessed in an unauthorized way. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator or any other legally required government official of such a breach.

9. Links to Third Party Websites
Our website may contain links to other websites on the Internet that are owned and operated by third parties. These websites operate independently from our website. We do not control them and we are not responsible for the content, security or privacy practices employed by them. You should review the privacy statements of those websites to determine how they protect and use personal data.

10. How do we manage the information of a child?
Our website is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly gather information from anyone under age 13. If we find out that we have collected information from a child under age 13, we will delete that information immediately.

11. Your Rights
To the extent provided by the law of your jurisdiction, you may have the right to (I) access certain personal information we maintain about you; (2) request that we update, correct, amend, erase or restrict your personal information; or (3) exercise your right to data portability.

MUTUAL TRUST'S GDPR STATEMENT

As many of our customers and business partners are aware, as of May 25, 2018, a new privacy law is in effect in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) called the General Data Protection Regulation or the GDPR. The GDPR expands privacy rights granted to individuals in the EU and the EEA. The GDPR may apply to some of the activities of Mutual Trust Life Insurance Company, a Pan-American Life Insurance Group Stock Company ("Mutual Trust") and its affiliates even though we are headquartered in the United States. We are committed to GDPR compliance across our organization and services, and we have implemented and will continue to implement GDPR compliance efforts.

Leading up to the GDPR's implementation date, we have taken many steps in an effort to comply with the GDPR. We have re-assessed and updated our privacy notices. An updated General Privacy Practices Statement has been posted on our website in order to help our customers and business partners better understand how we collect, use, share and protect their personal information and to inform our customers and business partners how they can exercise any rights they may have under the GDPR. Please also review our updated Website Privacy Policy.

The GDPR also imposes certain requirements on "data controllers" and "data processors." A "data controller" is the individual or entity that determines the purpose for which and the manner in which personal data is collected, used and processed. Mutual Trust is generally the data controller of the personal information we collect. A "data processor" is a person or entity that processes personal information on behalf of a data controller. Data controllers and data processors are required, among other things, to enter into an agreement with one another to protect the personal information that the data processor obtains from the data controller.

While we have been working on updating our privacy program in preparation for the GDPR, we recognize that protecting our customers and business partners' personal information is an ongoing process. We continue to take steps to enhance data privacy and security for our customers and business partners, and Mutual Trust will continue to review its practices as additional guidance under the GDPR or other applicable regulations are issued.

If you have any questions or comments about our privacy practices and GDPR compliance efforts, please do not hesitate to contact our Privacy Officer via email at seneczkoj@mutualLrust.c rn, or via mail at Mutual Trust Life Insurance Company, Attn: Privacy Officer, 1200 Jorie Boulevard, Oak Brook, Illinois 60523. If you wish to discuss an issue by phone, please email us with your contact information and best times to reach you, and we will contact you as soon as it is practical.
