Notice to Consumers
The information provided sets the policy adopted by CBC Benefit & Insurance Services (aka Custom Benefit Consultants, Inc.) for responding to “consumer data access requests” (CDAR’S) as applicable under certain State and Federal consumer protection legislation. CBC Benefit & Insurance Services will respond to all consumer data access requests consistent with applicable Federal law and the State law that applies to the requester’s current state residency at the time of request.
A consumer data access request is a written request for personal information (known as personal data) held about you by CBC Benefit & Insurance Services. Consumer protection legislation gives individuals the right to know what information is held about them. However, this right is subject to certain exemptions.
When we receive a consumer data access request we will first check that we have enough information to be sure of your identity. Often we will have no reason to doubt a person’s identity, for example, if we have regularly corresponded with them. However, if we have good cause to doubt your identity we can ask you to provide any evidence we reasonably need to confirm your identity.
We will gather any manual or electronically held information and identify any information provided by a third party or which identifies a third party.
If we have identified information that relates to third parties, we will write to them asking whether there is any reason why this information should not be disclosed. We do not have to supply the information to you unless the other party has provided their consent or it is reasonable to do so without their consent. If the third party objects to the information being disclosed we may seek legal advice on reasonable actions to fulfill your request.
We will deal with your consumer data access request without undue delay and in within 30 days of receipt of your request. However, if the work involved is particularly complex or if numerous requests are made then we may extend this period by up to an additional 60 days. In this case, we will inform you about the extension and explain the reasons.
We will not charge a fee for dealing with your request unless it is manifestly unfounded or excessive or if you are requesting paper copies in which case mailing and shipping costs will apply and be charged in advance of information release. If we charge a fee, we will inform you of this and explain the reasons for doing so. Certain state and federal laws govern the amount of consumer data access requests can be made be made per individual annually and what charges can be applied to processing.
We will explain what steps have been taken in dealing with your request i.e. we will set out the source of your personal information we have gathered. The information will be provided in a concise, transparent and easily accessible form. Information will be provided in a convenient electronic format, or by other means, when necessary.
There are a number of exemptions to our duty to disclose personal data and we may seek legal advice if we consider that they might apply. An example of an exemption is information covered by legal professional privilege or law enforcement requirements.
If we agree that the information is inaccurate, we will correct it and where practicable, destroy the inaccurate information. If we do not agree or feel unable to decide whether the information is inaccurate, we will make a note of the alleged error and keep this on file. If you are not satisfied by our actions, you can seek recourse through our internal complaints procedure.
