Privacy Policy

Effective from: 1st June, 2025

Protecting your privacy is very important to BluBear Online. If you or your agent choose to provide us with information, we will take reasonable precautions to keep your Personally Identifiable Information (PII) secure. PII means information that identifies you as an individual, such as your name and Social Security number, as well as financial, health, and other nonpublic information about you that we obtain so we can provide you with our services.

We will keep the information you provide private, as required by law. Please read our privacy policy carefully to better understand how we collect, use, or otherwise handle your PII.

When you apply for a policy or service, we may collect personal information about you, another insured on your policy, or a beneficiary. We will only use this information for the specific reason it is provided.
