Confidentiality and Security

Confidentiality is a top priority at SBLI. We are committed to maintaining the highest level of confidentiality with all of the information we receive from our agents or policy owners, including the information received from this website. We generally restrict employee access to non-public personal information about you to those employees who need the information to provide and administer products or services to you or for you. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in compliance with federal and state laws and regulations to safeguard the privacy of your information.

Cyber Security

SBLI has made a commitment to invest in the necessary tools, resources and personnel needed to help ensure your personal information is kept safe and confidential.

Our cyber security team is continually monitoring and evaluating new threats and risks in order to take actions to safeguard against those new dangers.

Our security program subscribes to the Defense In-depth strategy for securing our assets. This means we have deployed multiple layers of security controls throughout the organization to better protect your information. These controls are often audited and tested to ensure they are effectively protecting the data.

We also employ the principle of least privilege. This is the practice of limiting access rights for users to the minimum required to perform their work.

Chatbot Policy

SBLI has integrated a chatbot into our website that is intended to support users with general questions and requests for information about our products and services. Your interactions with the chatbot are voluntary. You alone decide whether to interact with the chatbot, and what information to disclose about yourself to us when you choose to interact with the chatbot. YOUR CONVERSATIONS WITH OUR CHATBOT MAY BE MONITORED AND RECORDED BY OR ON BEHALF OF SBLI AND SHARED WITH THIRD PARTIES. SBLI will use the information you disclose to us via the chatbot, which may include your personally identifiable information, together with any associated metadata, (i) to respond to your inquires and requests, and (ii) to analyze, evaluate, and improve our products and services. We may disclose this information (including the record of your chatbot conversation) to our service providers, which include providers of data analytics, customer database service providers, and service providers that assist with the operation and functionality of our website and our business more generally (including the service provider that provides the chatbot feature). We will retain the information collected via the chatbot and the associated metadata for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose in which it was collected, unless we are required by law to dispose of it earlier or to keep it longer. We will also retain this information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, pursue legitimate business interests, conduct audits, and protect or enforce our rights.
