Jonathan Sager, FLMI

 

Insurers' use of big data products for both underwriting and nonunderwriting purposes poses challenges for their compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and certain state laws. This session will provide guidance on knowing when and how to comply with the FCRA. It will also explore whether insurers should regulate themselves when using big data. Finally, it will raise awareness about the potential discriminatory effects of using this data for certain eligibility decisions.
