Longfellow Privacy Policy

Longfellow is pleased to report that it has implemented policies and procedures to prevent identity theft.  Longfellow has adopted a comprehensive written information security program (“WISP”) as required by the Massachusetts Data Security Regulations (201 CMR 17.00) which go into effect on March 1, 2010.  The WISP is designed to implement, technical, administrative and physical safeguards to protect against disclosure or misuse of Personal Information, as defined in the Regulations that Longfellow receives from its employees and clients.

Longfellow’s WISP addresses the fact that our clients’ Personal Information is routinely sent to third parties, specifically the approximately 100 insurance carriers with whom we work.

The WISP requires that we take steps to verify that third-party service providers with access to PI in Longfellow’s possession have the capacity to protect such information by:

1.  selecting and retaining service providers that are capable of  maintaining safeguards for Longfellow’s PI;

2.  contractually requiring service providers to maintain such safeguards; and

3.  requiring such third-party service providers to implement and maintain appropriate security measures for PI.

The security of our clients’ information is extremely important to Longfellow.  Please contact our Data Security Coordinator, Carol Ann Bond at 617-351-6000 should you have any questions.
