The Website gathers two types of information about people who visit Our Website ("Users"):

1. Voluntary User Information: information and data you provide voluntarily and knowingly, including information and data you submit in or through the Client Website and/or through optional, voluntary contact request forms; and
2. Automatically Collected Information: tracking information, including (but not limited to) IP address, mobile device, browser type, and home server information.

Northwestern Mutual does not share any of your personal information collected on or through this Website without your permission, except within the Northwestern Mutual Family of Companies, as described in this Statement, or as permitted or required by law. This Website does not enable unaffiliated third parties to collect personally identifiable information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you visit this Website. Northwestern Mutual does not sell your information to third parties.

Voluntary User Information

We generally collect information you provide voluntarily and knowingly through two main sections of the Website: (a) the Client Website, accessible only after you log in with your access credentials; and (b) contact request forms. Northwestern Mutual uses information for the purpose you submit it, and shares the information you submit with the Northwestern Mutual Family of Companies to service your request, for internal purposes described herein, or as otherwise permitted or required by law. We share any such information with third parties only to the extent necessary to service your request as described herein, or as otherwise permitted or required by law.

Client Website

You can access the Client Website through entering your credentials on a "Log In" page on the Website. Once you have entered the Client Website, you can access certain policy and account information, make limited service requests, and conduct limited transactions. You may also be asked to voluntarily provide information about yourself, and/or your policy or account. In the case of corporate-owned policies, you may be asked to provide information about the corporate owner of the policy or those individuals who are insured under the corporate owned policy.

Some users may be directed to enter product application information on the Client Website, which may include personal and health information ("Online Application Information"). Online Application Information will be used for underwriting purposes and other permissible business purposes. Online Application Information entered by you will be temporarily available on the Client Website for you to continue and complete the application and submission process. We will retain Online Application Information in accordance with applicable law, this Statement, our Customer Privacy Notice , and our internal record retention policies, even if the application is not electronically signed and submitted. We will only consider Online Application Information as part of the underwriting process after it has been incorporated into the electronically signed application form and submitted to us.

Portions of the Client Website are hosted by third parties, which provide certain features and functionality of the Client Website. To use these features or functionality, a third party may request to share your information with Northwestern Mutual. Though each of these third parties is contractually bound to maintain the confidentiality of any information submitted by you and to use such information solely for the purpose of providing the requested services to or on behalf of the Northwestern Mutual Family of Companies, each of these third parties govern your information in accordance with its own privacy policy. For more information about the Client Website, please review the Client Website Terms of Use, available when you register or login.

Information you enter into sections of the Client Website may be accessible to the Northwestern Mutual Family of Companies.
