You may receive a different Privacy Notice if you have relationships with other companies within Truist Financial Corporation (Truist). The examples that you will find throughout this Notice are for purposes of illustration only and should not be considered a complete description of our information practices. For example, we may not collect or disclose all of the categories of information described in this Notice in every transaction. If you terminate your relationship with us or your policy lapses or becomes inactive, we will continue to treat the information we have collected about you in accordance with our privacy policy.

Categories of Information We May Collect

When we provide title insurance and/or settlement and escrow services, we may collect information directly from you (for example, your name, address, telephone number, and Social Security number) and from other sources such as the lender, attorney, or real estate broker that you have chosen in order to provide the products and services you have requested, to service your policy, and to determine your eligibility for other products and services.

Disclosure of Information to Third Parties

We do not disclose information about you to third parties, except as required or permitted by law. For example, in the course of our general business practices, we may disclose information contained in applications and other forms that we collect, as previously described, to the following types of third parties for the reasons described:

  • To a third party to perform a business, professional, or insurance function for us;
  • To an insurance company, agent, insurance support organization, or self-insurer to detect or prevent fraud, criminal activity, or misrepresentation in connection with an insurance transaction;
  • To an insurance company, agent, or insurance support organization to perform a function in connection with an insurance transaction involving you; and
  • To an insurance regulatory authority, law enforcement, or other governmental authority to prevent or prosecute fraud, or if we believe that you have conducted illegal activities.

In addition, where permitted by law, we may disclose the information we collect about you, as previously described, to other companies that perform marketing services on our behalf and to other financial services companies with whom we have joint marketing agreements.

Your Information Choices

How to Tell Us to Limit the Sharing of Information Within Truist

If you are a new client, we can begin sharing your information 30 days from the date we sent this notice. When you are no longer our client, we continue to share your information as described in this notice.

If you ask us to limit the sharing of information within our corporate family, you may miss learning of financial products and services offered by these companies that might be of benefit to you.

If you prefer that we not share information about you with companies within Truist, you may direct us at any time not to share (opt out) by calling BridgeTrust Title Group at 1-877-278-0503. We will process your request as soon as we reasonably can. If you have already directed us not to share, you do not need to opt out again. We may continue to share information about you with our affiliates as required or permitted by law. For example, we may share information to enable an affiliate to perform a business function for us. Each company within Truist will continue to contact its consumer clients with offers of its own products and services. You will continue to receive product messages via your statement(s), as well as telephone and mail offers from affiliate companies with whom you have relationships.

How to Tell Us to Limit Marketing Within Truist

Federal law gives you the right to limit some, but not all, marketing from affiliate companies. Federal law also requires us to give you this Notice to tell you about your choice to limit marketing from affiliate companies.

You may limit affiliate companies, such as the banking, lending, insurance, and securities companies, from marketing their products or services to you based on your personal information that they receive from BridgeTrust Title Group. This information may include your Social Security number, income, transaction and claim history, credit reports, and credit scores.

  • You may limit marketing offers at any time by calling BridgeTrust Title Group at 1-877-278-0503.

Note: For joint policies, each of the joint policyholders may exercise the right to opt out. We will treat an opt-out direction by one joint policyholder as applying to all of the joint policyholders with respect to that joint policy. For example, if Pat and Kim have a joint policy, Pat’s opt-out direction will also apply to Kim with respect to the joint policy, but not to Kim’s individual policies.

How to Review and Correct Your Personal Information

Under applicable law, you may request to see the personal information about you in our records except for certain documents related to claims and lawsuits.  We may direct you to a consumer reporting agency to obtain certain consumer report information.

If you believe that the personal information we have about you in our records is incomplete or inaccurate, please let us know at once, and we will investigate and correct any errors that we find. Your request should be directed to your BridgeTrust Title Group representative. 

Our Security Procedures

Our employees are bound by our Codes of Ethics and policies to access consumer information only for legitimate business purposes and to keep information about you confidential.

Our Privacy Protections

You may have other privacy protections under some state laws. We will comply with applicable state laws as to information about you. For example, certain state laws may require us to provide you with an additional notice.

If your address is in California, New Mexico, or North Dakota, you will be treated as if you opted out of joint marketing arrangements.

If your address is in Vermont, you will be treated as if you opted out of sharing of information among Truist and opted out of joint marketing arrangements.

Please note that the title insurance companies that issue your policies may have personal information about you. Our Notice does not govern their use of information about you. You should review the privacy notices of your title insurance providers to understand how they collect, use, and disclose information.
