Such disclosure shall be either written or provided to an applicant in the same medium as the application for insurance. The insurer need not provide the disclosure statement required under this Section to any insured on a renewal policy, if such consumer has previously been provided a disclosure statement.

B. Use of the following example disclosure statement constitutes compliance with this Section: "In connection with this application for insurance, we may review your credit report or obtain or use a credit-based insurance score based on the information contained in that credit report. We may use a third party in connection with the development of your insurance score."
