If you wish to exercise your rights under applicable law, but do not wish to do so through the link above, please contact us at privacy@unum.com or 1-877-684-1241.
Before we fulfill any of your requests, we are required to verify that you are the person that is the subject of the request (the “Verification Process”).

The CCPA restricts the above-mentioned consumer rights in situations where a business may need to retain the information for business purposes, to complete transactions you have requested, to comply with legal obligations, or for other purposes as required or permitted by applicable law.
You have the right to use or designate an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf.
