Privacy Vision

Abacus Life Services, LLC, Longevity Market Assets, LLC and ABL Technologies, LLC (“Abacus,” “our,” “us” or “we”) is committed to the responsible use of information and protection of individual privacy rights. We aspire to protect individuals’ privacy through the design of our products and services, by credentialing, monitoring, and auditing our customers as appropriate, and through other information security safeguards.

Privacy Principles

Abacus’s Privacy Principles (the “Principles”) apply to the personally identifiable information, including sensitive personally identifiable information, collected, maintained, used or disseminated in connection with products and services offered by Abacus.

Abacus applies the Principles to our products and services where appropriate. In addition, other uses or disclosures may occur as required by applicable law, such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its state analogues (“FCRA”), the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act and its state analogues (“DPPA”), and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”). The Principles may not apply (i) where the law requires or upon request of law enforcement, or (ii) where necessary, to prevent fraud or to protect our company systems. From time to time, we may revise the Principles by posting changes on Abacus’s websites.

A limited number of public records may contain government identifiers that are already available to the public and, if such public records are accessed through Abacus’s products and services, our products and services may provide access to such government identifiers. Abacus prohibits the unlawful disclosure of government identifiers.

In support of this Principle, Abacus takes reasonable steps to assess the reputation and reliability of our data sources before incorporating personally identifiable information from the source into Abacus products and services. Abacus also strives to obtain assurances from our data suppliers that they have the legal right to license, share or sell the data to Abacus.
