At Mutual of America, providing for your security is one of our highest priorities. The security of your personal information is as important to us as your financial security. Throughout the history of our Company, maintaining privacy protection for our customers has been a priority.

The most important thing you should know is that Mutual of America will not share your personal information with anyone, except as permitted by law, and that we will not sell your personal information.

Mutual of America seeks to provide the best and most efficient products and services to meet your needs. As a result, there will continually be changes in technology that we will implement to benefit you as our customer. However, you need to know that we are safeguarding your personal information, however we receive it, or by whatever means you use to contact us, whether you are providing information via our 800 Line, our website, in writing, or speaking with a representative in our Home Office or one of our Regional Offices.

Mutual of America remains committed to the principles that guide us: loyalty to our customers and our employees, integrity in all we say and do, and working together to maintain our customers' trust.

If we need additional information, we may obtain it from other parties, including employers, adult family members, other insurers, consumer reporting agencies and medical care providers.

This information may be used to alert you to software compatibility issues, or it may be analyzed so that we may improve the quality and functionality of our operations.
• When visiting and/or engaging with Mutual of America's social media networking pages using a specified, third-party social media networking platform (such as LinkedIn, Facebook or X), you consent to the sharing of your information with such platform, unless such platform allows otherwise.

Information Protection

• To guard your personal information, we maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with federal and state laws and regulations. However, we note that no transmission of data over the internet can be guaranteed absolutely, and we therefore cannot warrant or guarantee that any such transmission is free of risk.

Security on Our Website

• Our website uses some of the most reliable forms of security measures available to protect your information from unauthorized access.
• Use your Customer ID or User ID, along with your password, to access your account information and initiate online and mobile transactions.
• To prevent unauthorized access to your Mutual of America account via your computer or smartphone, secure sessions through our website are automatically terminated after 15 minutes of inactivity (20 minutes, during a financial transaction session). In order to continue after this point, you must log in again.
• Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, no company can guarantee complete security. We are not responsible for any information exposed as a result of the security settings on your browser.

Use of Cookies

• Our website offers customized features that require our use of "Cookies," which are small pieces of information that we ask your browser to store. This helps ensure that any information we send to you is only being received by you.
• Mutual of America does not use third-party-targeted advertising tools for its social media channels such as cookies, pixel tags and mobile device tracking identifiers to assist with Mutual of America's marketing efforts. However, third-party social media platforms on which Mutual of America's ads appear may use cookies, pixel tags and mobile device tracking identifiers on your browser to facilitate their own data collection purposes. This type of data collection is subject to the privacy policies on those social media platforms.
• This website uses Google Analytics to help us understand how our audience as a whole interacts with the website. Google Analytics uses cookies that allow Google to recognize the device you use on a unique but non-identified basis and provide aggregate reporting information to us. You may choose to accept or refuse cookies by modifying the settings in your web browser. To learn more about cookies, please visit www.aboutcookies.org.

• You can opt out of this information being collected in regard to targeted advertising by using the "opt-out" functionality of each individual social media networking platform under the "Settings" section of your respective account(s). In addition, you may also want to review all mobile device and browser settings in your respective electronic devices for additional settings regarding cross-device tracking and other privacy safeguards.
• Mutual of America itself does not use cross-device tracking and will not have access to any personally identifiable information.

Calculators

Third-Party Sites

• On our website, we use third-party online analytics services, and the service providers that administer these analytics services use automated technologies to collect data (such as email addresses, IP addresses, cookies and other device identifiers) to evaluate, for example, use of our site, to diagnose technical issues.
• Various pages within our website provide links to other sites of interest. We are providing these links only as a convenience, and the inclusion of any link does not imply our endorsement of the linked site. These third-party-linked sites are not under our control, and therefore, we are not responsible for the contents of any linked site or any link contained in a linked site.
• Be aware that these third-party sites may collect information about you. We are not responsible for the actions of these third parties, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies to learn what type of personal information, if any, they collect.

Your Role in Privacy

Further, we recommend that you occasionally change your password and User ID, which you can do at any time after logging in to "My Account" on our website. You may also call our 800 Line to request that a new PIN be mailed to your address on file via the U.S. Postal Service.

It is important that you not leave your computer unattended while accessing your account information or initiating online transactions. If you become aware of any suspicious activity in your account, please notify us immediately by calling 800.468.3785, Monday through Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. ET.

Notice for California Residents

• If you are a California resident, you may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act. However, it is important to note that the CCPA does not apply to personal information collected pursuant to other privacy laws such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) or the California Financial Information Privacy Act (FIPA). If you are a current or prospective customer or plan participant, it is likely that most of the data Mutual of America collects about you will be subject to those laws rather than the CCPA.
• For the purposes of this section, “personal information” is defined as it is in the CCPA and means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to you as an individual or your household.
• For personal information that is subject to the CCPA, California residents may have the following rights, subject to certain exceptions and limitations:
  • The right to request access to your personal information and know the following:
    • The categories of personal information, the categories of sources from which the personal information is collected;
    • The business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling or sharing personal information (Mutual of America does not sell personal information);
    • The categories of third parties to whom Mutual of America discloses personal information; and
    • The specific pieces of personal information the business has collected about you.
  • The right to request that Mutual of America delete personal information that we collect and retain about you; and
  • The right to request that we correct any personal information that is inaccurate and incomplete.
• Mutual of America does not “sell,” as that term is defined in the CCPA, any personal information to any third parties, including the personal information of any minors under the age of 16. Nor do we “share” any personal information for the purpose of cross-context behavioral advertising. Finally, Mutual of America does not use or disclose “sensitive personal information,” as that term is defined in the CCPA, in any manner that would permit a California resident to submit a request to limit the use of such information.
• Mutual of America will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights under the CCPA.
• To exercise your rights described in this policy, you can:
  
  
  1. Send a request, in writing, to Mutual of America’s Privacy Director at:

If you designate an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf, you must provide the agent with written and signed permission or a power of attorney that complies with the CCPA’s requirements. When your agent submits the request, we will take reasonable steps to verify the agent’s identity and your authorization to make the request.
