Security Policy

At Madison National Life, we take your security and confidentiality very seriously. While there is inherent risk in doing business with anyone over a public medium like the Internet, we have implemented measures to reduce these risks. Madison National Life employs the following industry-standard security controls:

• Physical Access Controls
• Internet Firewalls
• Intrusion Detection and Prevention
• Network Monitoring
• Anti-Virus Protection (with automatic daily updates)
• Disaster Recovery

When you use a secured section of our website, Madison National Life is able to protect your information using a 128-bit encryption technology called Secure Sockets Layer or SSL. This technology encrypts or scrambles your information to prevent anyone from intercepting or viewing your personal information while being sent and received across the Internet. However, for this security measure to work, you must be using an SSL compatible browser. While older browser versions may support SSL sessions, we strongly recommend the following Internet browsers:

• Microsoft Internet Explorer, version 6.0 and higher
• Netscape, version 7.0 or higher

We enable SSL encryption technology anytime you visit a secured section of our website. You can tell if you are in a secured area within our website by looking at the symbol on the bottom of your browser screen. You will see either a lock or a key. When the symbol appears unbroken or the padlock is in the locked position, your session connection is taking place via a secure server. You can also verify your connection is secure by looking in the address of the site. If your connection is secure you will see "HTTPS" instead of just "HTTP" in your browser's address line or URL.

Madison National Life’s SSL identity is authenticated by our site certificate. A site certificate is a unique digital document that is authorized by a trusted third party. By viewing our site certificate you can be sure that you are communicating with Madison National Life’s website. These certificates are provided by Verisign ( www.verisign.com), the leading provider of security certificates.

Additionally, it is a policy of Madison National Life to maintain appropriate confidentiality with regard to all information obtained in the course of our business. We maintain a Privacy Policy in accordance with State and Federal Laws, and we have our Internet Privacy Policy posted on our website. Madison National Life does not sell, rent or lease any of the information collected on its website to any person or organization.

In addition to our commitment to provide you with a secure Internet experience, there are some additional measures you can take to ensure that your information is secure when using our website.

Your Madison National Life password is your private entry key into your account. You should never share it with anyone and you should change it periodically. Protect you password by choosing one that is difficult to guess.

If you think your password has been compromised for any reason, you should immediately change your password and contact Madison National Life at 1-800-356-9601.

After you've finished accessing your Madison National Life account, don't forget to log off. This prevents someone else from accessing your account if you leave your computer and your session hasn't "timed out," or automatically shut down.

Unless otherwise noted, electronic mail on our site is not a completely secure and confidential means of communication. Non-encrypted electronic communications may be accessed and viewed by other Internet users without your knowledge and permission while in transit to us. If you would like to send us confidential information over the Internet, please use our secure Online Service Center to protect the privacy of your information.
