CUSTOMER PROTECTION GUARANTEE

Our guarantee is simple: Principal® will reimburse your employer-sponsored

fault of your own.

   owned by you.
 * Distribution checks that were mailed to your address on file, or to another
   address at your direction, but fraudulently cashed by someone else.
 * Fraudulent activity, malware or breach of security by the plan sponsor,
   financial professional, third-party administrator (TPA), or a third party you
   have authorized to receive your account information.


BEST PRACTICES TO KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA SECURE

 * Log in to your account frequently.
 * Make sure you have strong, unique passwords.

 * Utilize an authenticator app to receive notifications for 2-factor
   authentication.

   real-time.
 * Keep your contact information current.
 * Stay informed and read correspondence from all of your financial service
   providers.
