Effective Date: January 1, 2017. NATIONAL BANK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY STRICTLY BETWEEN YOU AND US A CONFIDENTIAL MATTER Safeguarding your personal information is one of our top priorities. Underpinning our commitment to your privacy is our Code of Conduct and Ethics, our various policies and practices, and our Privacy Officer, who ensures that these policies and practices are followed. You can contact the Bank’s Privacy Officer by email at confidentiality@nbc.ca or by regular mail at 700 De La Gauchetière Street West, Transit 5416‑1, Montreal, Quebec, H3B 3B5. OBTAINING CONSENT Your consent is essential. Before we obtain your consent in writing or by phone, we take care to clearly explain our practices to you. PROVIDING SERVICES To be able to offer you products and services you want, we need to gather some basic information about you. For example, when you apply for insurance, we will ask you for your name, address and telephone number. Other types of information, including the state of your health and your employment situation, allow us to check your eligibility for certain types of products. Your personal information may be collected by third parties on our behalf, such as our duly authorized service providers. In certain cases, we may record telephone interviews between you and our representatives. The purpose of the recording will be explained each time you are recorded. With your consent, we may also obtain information from a third party to help us determine your eligibility for our products and services. In addition, we may obtain certain personal information from other insurers or the Medical Information Bureau. Your consent is given on the forms used for specific insurance products or, from time to time, on a separate form. Occasionally, your consent is recorded by our automated call recording system. IDENTIFYING YOU We may need your social insurance number (SIN) to comply with tax legislation. For example, if you take out a life annuity, we will ask for your SIN so that we can issue tax receipts. Your SIN also makes it easier for us to identify you with public registries, government authorities and employers. Although you are not required to disclose your SIN for identification purposes, we think it is in your interest to do so. RESPECTING YOUR CHOICES With the appropriate consent1, we may contact you to offer products and services that may interest you. The consent you give us to contact you by telephone or fax takes precedence over the National Do Not Call List2. At any time, you may refuse to receive our product and service offers and other promotional communications by calling our Customer Service. If you no longer want to receive promotional emails, simply click on the unsubscribe link in the message and follow the instructions. Your choice will take effect as soon as our systems are updated and always within the prescribed time frame. National Bank Life Insurance may, however, continue to send you renewal notices and other information related to your insurance contract. Rest assured that your choice will not impact the services you receive. We may need to use or share your personal information in order to offer, maintain and manage our products and services. In these situations, if you refuse or withdraw your consent we will be required to cancel our services. 1 NBLIC is not necessarily required to contact you to obtain consent since legislation sometimes allows for implied consent. For example, Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation allows us to send promotional emails to individuals with whom we have existing business relationships, provided they are able to unsubscribe from these messages. For more information on Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation, go to www.fightspam.gc.ca. 2For further information about the National Do Not Call List, go to www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca or call 1-866-580-3625. RESPECTING YOUR PRIVACY Under certain circumstances, we must disclose your information to third parties. When we do share your information, we only share what’s necessary. WHEN REQUIRED TO SERVE YOU We may share your information with third parties, including other insurance companies, reinsurers or the Medical Information Bureau, in order to offer you products and services. We sometimes contract outside providers to perform certain services, such as sending documents. Our service providers are carefully selected. Suppliers are required to sign a confidentiality agreement to access personal information and may only use that information for the purposes outlined in the agreement. Furthermore, they are required to ensure the same level of protection as is provided by NBLIC. When we contract suppliers, they are only given the information necessary to perform the requested services. Some of our service providers are located outside Canada. Others, though located in Canada, may store or process your information outside the country. In either case, your information may be subject to the laws of the country in which it is held, including the United States. If you have any questions about the services provided by our suppliers or the countries where your information may be held, please contact the Privacy Officer (contact details at the beginning of this policy). WHEN REQUIRED BY LAW There are certain situations where we are legally permitted or required to disclose information about you. We may therefore disclose your information to various authorities or agencies, including international authorities, notably those in the United States. WHEN WE NEED TO PROTECT OUR OWN INTERESTS If we are involved in court proceedings, we may have to disclose personal information about you. WHEN PUBLIC INTEREST IS ENDANGERED We are authorized to investigate any suspected criminal activity and report certain situations. We may contact the authorities and disclose certain information. ACCESSING YOUR INFORMATION In order to offer you services related to your insurance contract and to follow up on your contract, we create a file containing your personal information. Access to this file is limited to the individuals who are authorized to consult it. You have the right to access the information we hold about you free of charge, unless legal restrictions apply. To do so, we ask that you send a request by email to the Access to Personal Information Officer at insurance@nbc.ca or by regular mail to the following address: National Bank Life Insurance Company 1100 Robert-Bourassa Blvd., 5th Floor Montreal, QC H3B 2G7 We will respond to your request within 30 days of receipt, unless we inform you that it will take longer, as permitted by law under certain circumstances. KEEPING INFORMATION ACCURATE We take reasonable measures to keep personal information as accurate, complete and current as possible. We rely on you to inform us of any change, errors or inaccuracies concerning your information. If need be, we will do what we can to inform third parties with whom we have shared your information of any changes. SAFEGUARDING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION We take reasonable precautions to safeguard your information from loss, theft and destruction, and from unauthorized access, disclosure, duplication, use or modification, regardless of how or where it is stored. To this end, we have implemented various security measures, such as: * Physical measures: including the protection of infrastructures, e.g., ensuring that access to our premises is secure and that equipment is in a secure location. * Administrative measures: aimed at limiting access to your personal information. Only employees who need to consult your information for work purposes may do so. * Technical measures: such as closely managing passwords and using a firewall. Retaining and Destroying Information We retain your information only as long as it is needed. If you stop doing business with us, we must retain certain information in order to, among other reasons, comply with laws, settle future transactions or obtain proof of past transactions. When this information is no longer necessary, it is destroyed. When destroying your information, we follow strict rules and ensure that only authorized personnel have access to it. UPDATING THIS POLICY We reserve the right to update this policy at any time. Any changes will come into effect on the date of the most recent update. By continuing to use our services after this date, you accept the changes made to the policy.

A CONFIDENTIAL MATTER At National Bank of Canada1, we have always made it a priority to protect your personal information. As part of our ongoing efforts to ensure that your rights are fully respected, we have developed policies and procedures aimed at protecting the personal information. Our commitment to privacy is an integral part of our Code of Professional Conduct, to which all Bank employees must strictly adhere. Moreover, National Bank of Canada has appointed a privacy officer to ensure that the principles in our policies and procedures are strictly observed. You can contact the privacy officer by e-mail at confidentiality@nbc.ca or by regular mail at 700 de La Gauchetière West, transit 4125-1, Montreal, Quebec, H3B 3B5. 1. Means National Bank of Canada, its successors and assigns, and all its subsidiaries offering to the public in Canada deposit and lending services, credit, debit and payment cards, trust services, custodial, brokerage, insurance, assistance and other personal financial services, including National Bank Trust Inc., National Bank Investments Inc. and Natcan Trust Company. Some subsidiaries may be subject to specific statutes. A list of our main Canadian subsidiaries can be obtained at any National Bank branch. A QUESTION OF SERVICE To be able to offer you the products and services that are best suited to your needs, we require basic information about you that only you can give. For example, when you open a bank account, we will ask you for your name, address and telephone number. If the account generates interest, we also need your social insurance number to comply with current tax laws. Similarly, as some laws require that we identify you, we will need to obtain certain information concerning your identity documents and to record some of that information. Lastly, if you would like advice on investment, credit or trust products, we need to know specific financial information about your file in order to serve you properly. Other types of information, such as the state of your health, enable us to check your eligibility for certain types of products. In certain situations, collection of your personal information may be done by one of our service providers, on our behalf. With your consent, we may also obtain information directly from a third party to help us determine your eligibility for our financial products and services. For credit products, for example, it is essential that we know your financial worth and your credit record. We will therefore contact other lenders, financial institutions, credit bureaus and employers. In most cases, your consent is given on the forms used for specific products or, from time to time, on a separate form. You will notice that the declaration of consent is clear and unambiguous. We suggest that you read it over and, if you have any questions, please ask the staff at your branch or write to us at confidentiality@nbc.ca. Your refusal to give consent could prevent us from acting on your behalf, and you may be refused a particular product or service as a result. However, once you have been granted credit, we cannot withdraw your consent to disclose information about your credit record to other lenders and to credit bureaus. This measure is designed to preserve the integrity of the credit lending process. A QUESTION OF IDENTIFICATION We also need your social insurance number to comply with tax legislation. For example, if you open an account that generates interest or if you invest in a retirement savings plan or retirement income fund, we will ask for your social insurance number so that we can issue tax receipts. Your social insurance number also helps us identify you with financial institutions, public registries, regulatory authorities and bodies, employers and professionals. It can also enable us to distinguish your information from that of other clients whose name may be similar to yours. This differentiation is particularly important when we have to check your creditworthiness. Although you are not required to disclose your social insurance number for identification purposes, we think it is in your interest to do so. A QUESTION OF CHOICE With the appropriate consent2, the Bank, its subsidiaries and, in certain cases, its carefully selected partners3, may contact you to offer you products and services that may interest you. The consent you give to the Bank to contact you by telephone or fax takes precedence over the National Do Not Call List4. At any time, you may refuse to receive our product and service offers and other promotional communications. Simply notify the Bank (by contacting your branch or TelNat), the subsidiary (by contacting your representative) or the partner. If you no longer wish to receive electronic promotional messages, simply click on the unsubscribe link in the message and follow the instructions. Your choice will take effect as soon as our systems are updated and always within the prescribed timeframe. Rest assured that your choice will not impact the services you receive. However, the Bank may continue to send you regulatory inserts, post messages on your account statements or ABM transaction records, and provide you with information on its products and services in person. 2. The Bank is not necessarily required to contact you to obtain consent since the legislation sometimes allows for implied consent. For example, Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation allows us to send electronic promotional messages to individuals with whom we have existing business relationships, provided they are able to unsubscribe from these messages. For more information on the Anti-Spam Legislation, go to www.fightspam.gc.ca or call 1-800-328-6189. 3. Here's our partners.

A QUESTION OF RESPECT Under certain circumstances, we must disclose your information to third parties. When doing so, however, we take care to ensure your information is protected. IF REQUIRED TO SERVER YOU In order to offer you our products and services, we must occasionally disclose information about you to third parties such as credit bureaus, our subsidiaries or affiliates, or some of our service providers. If, for instance, you authorize us to convey information concerning your creditworthiness or credit record to other lenders or to credit bureaus, the only information disclosed is your identity and your ability to meet your financial obligations. In order to offer you our products and services and to comply with the measures necessary to manage risks and update your client profile, we sometimes disclose your personal information to other subsidiaries or affiliates of National Bank of Canada where permitted by law. We inform them of changes to be made to your file, which simplifies and accelerates the processing of your applications and transactions. Information about your health, which is disclosed when you sign up for an insurance product, is not accessible to the other National Bank of Canada subsidiaries or affiliated companies. In providing certain services to you, such as printing cheques or issuing bank cards, we occasionally use suppliers, some of which may be located outside of Canada, namely in the United States. When applicable, these suppliers will only have access to the information they need to provide the service. We require a formal commitment from them to respect the confidentiality of any such information. If you have questions concerning the services rendered by our suppliers or the countries from which they may have access to your personal information for the purposes explained herein, please contact the Privacy officer at the above-mentioned address. IF REQUIRED BY LAW We are legally bound to disclose information about you when we or one of our service providers receives a valid request, search warrant, subpoena or other government or court order. These requests may come from Canadian or foreign authorities, most likely American. IF WE MUST PROTECT THE BANK'S INTERESTS In cases where we are involved in court proceedings, we may have to disclose, on our own initiative, personal information about you. Moreover, if we must return an NSF cheque, a third party would then know that your account is overdrawn. Similarly, if we must use a collection agency, a third party could then deduce that you are not meeting your financial obligations to us. IF PUBLIC INTEREST IS ENDANGERED It is our duty to denounce criminal activity such as fraud or money laundering. In all such cases, authorities will be contacted and personal information could be disclosed at that time. A QUESTION OF ACCESS You can consult your personal information that we have on file free of charge. Simply submit a request in writing to your branch, subsidiary representative or by using the e-mail option of the menu of your Internet Banking Solutions profile. We will respond to your request within thirty (30) days. A QUESTION OF ACCURACY We will do our utmost to keep your personal information up to date, but we ask that you help us by notifying us of any change in your information. In addition, if you notice any errors or inaccuracies, please let us know and we will make the necessary corrections. If we have conveyed incorrect information to third parties, we will do everything possible to bring these corrections to their attention. A QUESTION OF SECURITY We take the necessary precautions to prevent your information, regardless of its form or location from being lost, destroyed, stolen, consulted, disclosed, copied, used or altered without authorization. We have implemented various security measures, such as: * Physical measures: Including the protection of infrastructure, such as ensuring that access to our premises is secure, and that equipment is in a secure location. * Administrative measures: Aimed at limiting access to your personal information. Only employees who need to consult your information for work purposes may do so. * Technical measures: Such as closely managing passwords and using a firewall. Moreover, the passwords, user codes and personal identification numbers (PIN) you use to access certain financial services are confidential and you are the only one who knows them. Our employees have no way of accessing this information and will never ask you for it. You should never disclose your passwords, user codes or PINs, or include personal information in e-mails. We invite you to consult the ABCs of Security on our website at www.nbc.ca. A QUESTION OF DOCUMENT RETENTION AND DESTRUCTION Your personal information is kept only for as long as the service is provided. The retention period may vary, depending on the product or service offered. Even if you stop doing business with us, we might keep some information in order to, among other reasons, comply with laws, settle future transactions or look up past transactions. When this information is no longer necessary, it is destroyed. When destroying documents, we follow strict procedures and ensure that only authorized personnel has access to them. ANY QUESTIONS? If you have questions or comments regarding how your personal information is managed, contact the Customer Service Manager at your branch, TelNat, your subsidiary representative or write to us at one of the following addresses: Privacy Officer 700 de La Gauchetière West Transit 4876-1 Montreal, Quebec H3B 3B5 confidentiality@nbc.ca For further information on this subject, consult the “For better banking relations with you” pamphlet, available at all our branches.

In providing certain services to you, such as printing cheques or issuing bank cards, we occasionally use suppliers, some of which may be located outside of Canada, namely in the United States. When applicable, these suppliers will only have access to the information they need to provide the service. We require a formal commitment from them to respect the confidentiality of any such information. If you have questions concerning the services rendered by our suppliers or the countries from which they may have access to your personal information for the purposes explained herein, please contact the Privacy officer at the above-mentioned address. IF REQUIRED BY LAW We are legally bound to disclose information about you when we or one of our service providers receives a valid request, search warrant, subpoena or other government or court order. These requests may come from Canadian or foreign authorities, most likely American. IF WE MUST PROTECT THE BANK'S INTERESTS In cases where we are involved in court proceedings, we may have to disclose, on our own initiative, personal information about you. Moreover, if we must return an NSF cheque, a third party would then know that your account is overdrawn. Similarly, if we must use a collection agency, a third party could then deduce that you are not meeting your financial obligations to us. IF PUBLIC INTEREST IS ENDANGERED It is our duty to denounce criminal activity such as fraud or money laundering. In all such cases, authorities will be contacted and personal information could be disclosed at that time. A QUESTION OF ACCESS You can consult your personal information that we have on file free of charge. Simply submit a request in writing to your branch, subsidiary representative or by using the e-mail option of the menu of your Internet Banking Solutions profile. We will respond to your request within thirty (30) days. A QUESTION OF ACCURACY We will do our utmost to keep your personal information up to date, but we ask that you help us by notifying us of any change in your information. In addition, if you notice any errors or inaccuracies, please let us know and we will make the necessary corrections. If we have conveyed incorrect information to third parties, we will do everything possible to bring these corrections to their attention. A QUESTION OF SECURITY We take the necessary precautions to prevent your information, regardless of its form or location from being lost, destroyed, stolen, consulted, disclosed, copied, used or altered without authorization. We have implemented various security measures, such as: * Physical measures: Including the protection of infrastructure, such as ensuring that access to our premises is secure, and that equipment is in a secure location. * Administrative measures: Aimed at limiting access to your personal information. Only employees who need to consult your information for work purposes may do so. * Technical measures: Such as closely managing passwords and using a firewall.

Our employees have no way of accessing this information and will never ask you for it. You should never disclose your passwords, user codes or PINs, or include personal information in e-mails. We invite you to consult the ABCs of Security on our website at www.nbc.ca. A QUESTION OF DOCUMENT RETENTION AND DESTRUCTION Your personal information is kept only for as long as the service is provided. The retention period may vary, depending on the product or service offered. Even if you stop doing business with us, we might keep some information in order to, among other reasons, comply with laws, settle future transactions or look up past transactions.
