What should U.S. insurance agencies check before using customer data with AI?

A tool that accepts a customer document may create privacy, confidentiality, and security obligations even if it is being used for a short pilot.

A responsible starting point

Identify the information involved, why it is needed, who can access it, and whether a vendor may retain or reuse it. Requirements can depend on state law, federal law, contracts, and the type of data. Do not assume one nationwide privacy statute covers every agency.

Example

Hypothetical test. A team uses fictional records to evaluate a tool, then asks its privacy lead to review the vendor before considering real information.

Limits and safeguards

Health and claims information may require additional safeguards. GDPR is not the default U.S. rule simply because a vendor also serves Europe.

This is general educational material, not a legal opinion or individualized insurance advice. Licensing, insurance distribution, marketing, privacy, and automated-decision rules can differ across the United States.

State-law reminder: Check the laws and regulator guidance of the specific U.S. state involved before applying this information. Your state insurance department is a starting point; NAIC model laws are not automatically binding state law. Federal requirements may also apply.

Before using a vendor

Verify actual features, contractual data protections, review controls, and vendor practices. These examples do not confirm that Planeia offers the described AI functions today.
