Your Privacy is Our Priority.

At Farm Bureau Financial Services, our focus on building trusted relationships is foundational to our business. And we know that protecting your privacy is essential to maintaining your trust. That includes the personal information you share as you use our websites, our emails, SMS texting services, and our mobile applications. The following privacy policy outlines how FBL Financial Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively FBFS) protect, collect, and use your information.

Our Privacy Principles

- We do not sell client/member information.

- We do not allow those who are doing business on our behalf to use our client/member information for their own marketing purposes.

- We contractually require any person or organization providing products or services on our behalf to protect FBFS client/member information.

- We afford our prospective and former client/members the same protections as existing client/members with respect to the use of personal information.

Online Information Collection

When an individual consumer visits this Site, our Online Activities and/or Other Services (collectively the “Services”) ("Visitors"), we may automatically collect certain kinds of anonymous and personally identifiable information. The information we collect will vary depending upon the function the Visitor selects and the information the Visitor provides. We collect, use, and share information we need to conduct our business, to advise you of our products and services, and to provide you with client/member service. We may collect and maintain several types of client/member information needed for these purposes, as identified below. This information includes, but is not limited to, the name of the website from which you entered our Site, if any, as well as the name of the website to which you are headed when you leave our Site. This information also includes the Internet Protocol (IP) address of your computer/proxy server that you use to access the Internet, your location, access times, your Internet or cellular provider name, web browser type, type of mobile device, and computer operating system. We use all of this information to analyze trends among our users to help improve the Services. 

Safeguarding of Client/Member Information

FBFS understands the importance of appropriately safeguarding the personally identifiable information we obtain in the course of business operations. In order to protect the safety of client/member information, we continually:

- Maintain physical, technical, and procedural safeguards

- Review our policies and practices

- Monitor our computer networks

- Test the strength of our security protections

- Educate our employees on the importance of keeping client/member data secure

- Maintain an information breach response plan and client/member notification procedures

No method of transmission over the Internet or cellular connections, including, but not limited to, via email, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. You may contact Web Assistance if you have any questions or concerns regarding the confidentiality and security of your information.

Children's Online Privacy Protection

FBFS’ Services are not directed toward children. We do not knowingly collect or post information from children under the age of 13. You can learn more about children's privacy and the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) at the Federal Trade Commission's website.
