Internet Privacy Policy

Thank you for visiting Chubb online.

We respect the privacy of our website and webpage visitors and want you to understand the ways in which we collect and use information provided online.  This Internet Privacy Policy applies to www.chubb.com and other sites and webpages on the Internet owned and operated by Chubb. It does not apply to any non-Chubb website that you may access via a link on a Chubb website or webpage. 

How We Collect Personal and Non-Personal Information Through Chubb Websites and Webpages

We collect two kinds of information about our online visitors through our websites and webpages: non-personal and personal information.

The non-personal information we collect includes: the visitor’s browser type and operating system; area(s) of the Chubb website(s) visited; date and time of access; host or Internet service provider (ISP) information; and identification of the referring site (any site from which the visitor accessed the Chubb site).  We use this information to track the total number of guests visiting Chubb websites and to guide our efforts to improve our websites.

We collect personal information that can identify a visitor, such as name, address or policy information, only when you voluntarily provide it, and we use that information solely for purposes that are clearly identified on our sites and webpages.  

Chubb does not seek or knowingly collect personal information from children.   

Access to pages with content specific to agents, brokers and customers is password-protected and requires registration. Personal information acquired through registration is kept confidential and will not be disclosed to third parties except as may be permitted or required by law.  Depending upon your relationship with us, you may receive other privacy notices from us providing additional detail about our privacy practices. 

We may offer blogs, online forums or other interactive features on our websites and webpages that enable consumers to share information about our services or other issues of interest.  You should be aware that any communications you submit or post to any such interactive features on our websites and webpages may be viewable by other participants or users of our websites and webpages.  Therefore, you acknowledge and understand that you have no expectation of privacy or confidentiality in the content you submit for such interactive features, whether or not it contains personal information about you.    

How We Collect, Use and Protect Social Security Numbers

Chubb may collect Social Security numbers (“SSNs”) in the course of our business.  We strive to protect the confidentiality and security of SSNs in our possession, custody or control by (i) limiting access to SSNs and (ii) maintaining reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect against the loss, misuse or unlawful disclosure of SSNs.  We do not share SSNs for marketing purposes.

How We Use “Cookies” on Our Websites

Chubb may place electronic “cookies” in the browser files of your computer when you access a Chubb website. Cookies are pieces of information that a Chubb website transfers to your computer to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to tailor the information on our websites to your interests.  For example, if you previously visited a Chubb website and accessed your account information or inquired about particular services over the website, cookies enable us to present information tailored to your account and/or those particular interests the next time you visit the website. Moreover, Chubb or our third party service providers or business partners may place cookies on your computer’s hard drive that can be matched to other personal information we maintain about you to pre-populate certain online forms for your convenience.  We also use cookies to analyze visitors’ use of our websites. This analysis helps us better understand which areas of our sites are most useful and popular so we can plan improvements and updates accordingly.

Many web browsers are automatically set to accept cookies. You may change your computer’s web browser settings to either reject cookies or notify you when a cookie is about to be placed on your computer. Please note, however, that rejecting cookies while visiting any of our websites may result in certain parts of the website not operating as efficiently as if the cookies were allowed. For example, if you reject cookies from our websites, you may not be able to access a preferred location, view a customized default home page or pre-populated form, or easily access your recently visited links or pages.

Security of Internet Communications

The Internet is not a secure medium. We employ administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect personal information but cannot assume any responsibility for any harm, loss or damage you may experience from transmission of information by or to Chubb over the Internet.
