BG’s Privacy Policy

The Personal Information We Collect.  BG collects personal information about you and the members of your household to conduct business operations, provide customer service, offer new products, and satisfy legal and regulatory requirements.  We may collect the following categories of information about you from these sources:

  • Information from you directly including information from applications, worksheets, questionnaires, claim forms or other documents (such as name, address and Social Security number).
  • Information about your transactions with us or others (such as products or services purchased, claims made, account balances and payment history).
  • Information from a consumer reporting agency (such as credit reports).
  • Information from other non-BG sources (such as prior loss information).
