LifeQuote Site Security: Our service provider has developed unique proprietary technology where each session is assigned an encrypted dynamic key that is unique to that user's session. At each page load, the key is validated to verify that the session information has not been altered. Similar precautions are taken within HTML forms to prevent "hijacking" of legitimate changes and access. There are many other security measures, but exactly for reasons of security, they are proprietary and cannot be disclosed in any more detail. Our security is monitored and improved on a regular basis. In similar installations, no breach of security has occurred. Our access to your data is limited to our organization. Clients can access their data with a user ID and password for their quote retrieval, which is sent to them via email in the form of a URL. The password is system-generated and is four characters in length. It is not case-sensitive. The data is protected by our administration system. In order to access the administration system employees must sign in with a user ID and password. If the system is not being utilized, the idle workstation is set to shut itself down.
The security of your personal information is important to us. When you enter sensitive information (such as a health information) on our order forms, we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL).
Administrative access attempts are logged and linked to both a user ID, as well as an IP address. We also require any contractors to sign Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) pertaining to sensitive data. As a back up for data retention, we store your information on 'alternative media' to ensure access in case of disaster. This data is kept in paper files and is locked in cabinets in our offices. We store the data for up to one year for clients who have purchased life insurance, and for up to ninety days for non-purchasing clients. The files and/or data are later destroyed after the aforementioned retention period. We will retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Employees are informed of the strict security policies at hire and reminded at employee reviews, or when those policies are amended.
