Regulators Are Stepping In State insurance regulators beginning to address the use of socialmedia in the insurance industry and treating it as advertising. Several state insurance regulators have Facebook pages. At least 3 statesVirginia, Massachusetts and New Yorkhaveprovided specific guidance that marketing communications throughsocial media platforms will be considered advertisements. At least 6 statesOhio, New Hampshire, Idaho, Colorado, Arizona, andCaliforniaand the NAIC include electroniccommunications, broadcasting, or transmissions within their definitionsof advertisement. NAIC has a Social Media Working Group, chaired by Keith Nyhan ofNew Hampshire Department of Insurance. Draft Working Paper onSocial Media issued on July 29, 2011.Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP | 58 34. Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP | 59 35. Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP | 60 36. Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP | 61 37. NAIC Released DraftWhite Paper on Use of Social Media in Insurance The Social Media Working Groups White Paper, which borrowsheavily from FINRAs Notice to Members 10-06, has not yet beenadopted by the Market Regulation & Consumer Affairs Committee.However, it prescribes methods for insurers to comply withregulatory guidance in their use of social media, and mayforeshadow future regulations. The White Paper focused on: The use of social media in the business of insurance Identifying and providing guidance on actual and potential regulatoryand compliance issues with the use of social media in insuranceDewey & LeBoeuf LLP | 62 38. Context: Common Uses of Social Media in the Insurance SectorInsurers Tool to build trust and engagement and convey valuable information for consumers. Means to obtain and verify information during the hiring process. Forensic tool to investigate potential fraud in the underwriting and claims process. Facilitate claims handling. Method of more timely addressing public relations crises.Producers Ability to disseminate information. Can be product info or general public service. Tool to access networking opportunities. Means to engage customers and build personal brand, provide rapid responses to questions.Consumers Learn about products and rates, ask questions, rate insurance companies and producers, and complain about negative experiences with companies/producers. Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP | 63 39. NAIC White Paper:When is an Insurer Responsible? Generally speaking, if the social media communications can be attributed to a carrier, regulators will do so. Thus, protocols and procedures should be developed, in place, and followed regarding social media usage by independent agents, as the regulatory emphasis in regards to social media will be on the agency and not the independence.Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP | 64 40. White Paper:When is an Insurer Responsible for Content? Insurers will likely be held accountable for social media content posted to or on any oftheir own directly sponsored sites, and possibly for their producers social mediacontent. An insurer will likely be held accountable for all social media content, with limitedexceptions, posted to/on any of its associated entities sponsored sites/spaces Static communications are subject to existing advertising, marketing and customer-relation regulatory frameworks. (Static communications remain posted and visible untilchanged by someone with access to do so. Ex. Biographic materials, backgrounds andwall information.) Retention and record keeping requirements do apply to the interactive content on asocial media website controlled by an insurer or one of its associated entities. Insurers are not responsible for the interactive content of 3rd party, non-associatedentities contributions If 3rd party content is attributable to an insurer because the insurer was involved withthe preparation of the content, the insurer will be accountable for the content, per theentanglement theory. If 3rd party content is explicitly or implicitly endorsed by the insurer it becomesattributable to the insurer per the adoption theory.Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP | 65 41. White Paper:The Many Facets of Compliance As with all forms of communication and interaction between insurancecompanies and their associated entities and consumers, the insurancecompany must supervise and monitor communication closely in order tocomport with existing regulations. Insurers should adopt comprehensive policies, procedures and controls thatcomply with relevant State regulatory guidelines, including: Advertising and marketing laws and regulations Consumer complaints Endorsements of and to individuals and companies Privacy Laws Federal laws including HIPPA, Gramm-Leach-Bliley(GLB), Childrens On-Line Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), Stateprivacy laws such as Californias Insurance Information and PrivacyProtection Act (IIPPA) Record Retention Requirements Security Breach Notification Statutes Supervision, Monitoring and Training Suitability RequirementsDewey & LeBoeuf LLP | 66 42. White Paper:Regulatory Guidance Insurers should restrict producers from engaging in businesscommunications on unsupervised social media sites. Absent policies and procedures to ensure regulatory compliance, producersshould be prohibited from using social media to promote an insurer or itsproducts. Insurers should adopt policies reasonably designed to ensure thatelectronic communications or communications attributed to them areaccurate and timely, not misleading. With regard to recommendations for specific insurance products, insurersshould ensure that its communications or communications attributable to itare suitable to all potential recipients. Alternatively, an insurer could prohibitinteractive electronic recommendations for specific products. Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP | 67 43. White Paper:Regulatory Guidance (contd.) An insurer may employ risk-based principles to determine the extent towhich the review of its electronic social media communications is necessaryto properly supervise its business. Insurers could adopt procedures that require pre-approval of some orall interactive electronic social media communications prior to posting. Insurers could alternatively review communications post-use. Insurers should have record retention policies and procedures for social media communications, as well as appropriate privacy protections for social media communications. Insurers should train their producers in accordance with their developedpolicies and procedures to guide producers social media use (or riskliability for their misuse).Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP | 68 44. From the States: Social Media Considered Advertisements/Marketing Material In Virginia, advertisement in the context of life insurance and annuities includeswebsites and other Internet displays or communications, social media, orother forms of electronic communications. In Massachusetts, marketing or marketing material in the context of healthbenefit plans includes Social media sites including networking sites, blogpostings and smartphone applications created by or for a Carrier, InsuranceProducer or other entity for presentation to or use by the insurance buyingpublic. The use of a Linked-In profile page or a similar website for the promotion ofinsurance, insurers, or insurance agents or brokers constitutes anadvertisement, announcement, or statement under New York Law. OGC Opinion No. 10-11-07 (dated November 22, 2010). Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP | 69 45. From the States: Electronic Communications Considered Advertisements Ohio, New Hampshire, Idaho, Colorado mirror the NAIC Model Laws definition ofadvertisement in the context of accident and health/sickness insurance - anadvertisement shall include printed and published material, . . . web sites andother internet displays or communications, other forms of electroniccommunications, billboards and similar displays. Ohio Admin. Code 390-8-07;N.H. Code Admin. R. 2601.3; IDAPA 18.01.24 Section 010; 3 CCR 702 Reg. 4-2-3Section 4. In California, in the workers compensation context, advertisements include anyform of communication, in writing, photograph or picture, electronicbroadcasting or transmission. Cal. Code Regs. tit. 8, Section 9820. Because insurers use of social media will be regulated akin to traditionalinsurance marketing or advertising, social media communications must complywith advertising and marketing laws and regulations, among others. Becauseelectronic advertising transcends state boundaries, insurers must be aware ofmulti-state advertising laws. Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP | 70 46. Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP | 71 47. More Regulatory Pitfalls An insured may attempt to submit a claim or complaint through an insurers Facebook pageinsurers should consider including a disclaimer regarding the proper reporting of insured claims and a link to the insurers claim form and/or other contact information. The use of social media is subject to state insurance laws that govern unfair trade practicesinsurers should be aware of applicable laws and take great care to follow their own privacy policies. As many states, including California, require that marketing be conducted in the insurers name, if an insurer is using a Twitter account, compliance professionals should ensure that the account name satisfies this requirement.Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP | 72 48. Romano v. Steelcase: Are Social Media Postings Discoverable in Personal Injury Cases? Injured woman sued furniture company for damages suffered whenshe fell off a Steelcase chair Steelcase sought her Facebook and MySpace postings to show thatshe had an active lifestyle and was not confined to bed as alleged. Court concluded that she had no expectation of privacy as to herFacebook and MySpace postings. Thus, when Plaintiff created her Facebook and MySpaceaccounts, she consented to the fact that her personal informationwould be shared with others, notwithstanding her privacy settings.Indeed, that is the very nature and purpose of these socialnetworking sites. Same logic should apply in claims litigation, but case law isevolving.Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP | 73 49. Practice Pointers: Avoiding Regulatory Pitfalls Set clear expectations regarding online privacy when using corporate network Establish protocols for monitoring 3rd party posts and use disclosures thatadequately inform users. Set policies ensuring that insurers are appropriatelyidentifying, monitoring, responding to, tracking, and retaining records ofcomplaints communicated through social media. Ensure that personnel communication on behalf of the company is licensedwhere necessary. Note that often, if an advertisement constitutes a solicitation in a particular state then the advertising-insurer must be licensed in said state.Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP | 74 50. Practice Pointers: Avoiding Regulatory Pitfalls (contd) Supervise producers and employees to ensure that only approved sites are being used; that any restrictions regarding use of approved sites are being followed; that static advertising is being pre-approved; and that only those permitted to use social media are using it; and use of social media in investigations is documentedDewey & LeBoeuf LLP | 75 51. Geolocation Tracking and Telematics FTC: Geographic location is sensitive information If a service provider links location to a specific device of a specific person, provider must: Give notice about how location informationwill be used, disclosed and protected, State whether the provider will share location information with third parties and identify them, Advise users how they can terminate thelocation-based services, and State how long information will be retainedSource: CTIA The Wireless Association, Best Industry Practices and Guidelines forproviders of location based services Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP | 76 52. The FTC Speaks:Privacy by Design FTC Proposal, December 2010 Build privacy protections into everyday business practices: Provide reasonable security Collect only data needed for specific business purpose Retain data only as long as needed for that business purpose Safely dispose of data no longer needed Implement reasonable procedures to promote data accuracy Companies should implement and enforce procedurally soundprivacy practices throughout their organizations, including employeetraining and conducting privacy review when developing newproducts and services on a systemic basisDewey & LeBoeuf LLP | 77 53. The FTC Speaks:FTC Testimonial Guidelines Governs endorsements and testimonials in advertising No private right of action; may be enforced by FTC under section 5of the FTC Act Advertisers are subject to liability for false or unsubstantiatedstatements made through endorsements Advertisers subject to liability for failing to disclose materialconnections between themselves and endorsers Endorsements relating the experience of a customer must disclosegenerally expected performanceDewey & LeBoeuf LLP | 78 54.

FINRAs Latest Guidance on Dual Use Devices:Regulatory Notice 11:39, August 2011 Recordkeeping Q1: Does determining whether a communication is subject to therecordkeeping requirements of SEA Rule 17a-4(b)(4) depend on whetheran associated person uses a personal device or technology to make the communication? A1: SEA Rule 17a-4(b)(4) requires a firm to retain records ofcommunications that relate to its "business as such."This analysis does not depend upon the type of device or technology usedto transmit the communication, nor does it depend upon whether it is a firm- issued or personal device of the individual; rather, the content of the communication is determinative. For instance, the requirement would apply if the electronic communication was received or sent by an associated person through a third-partys platform or system. A firms policies and procedures must include training and education of its associated persons regarding the differences between business and non-business communications and the measures required to ensure that any business communication made by associated persons is retained, retrievable and supervised. Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP | 92 68. FINRAs Latest GuidanceAccessing Social Media Sites From Personal Devices Q14: May associated persons use personal communication devices and otherequipment, such as a smart phone or tablet computer, to access firm businessapplications and perform business activity if the firm employs technology that enables the firm to keep records and supervise the activity? A14: Yes. Firms may permit their associated persons to use any personalcommunication device, whether it is owned by the associated person or thefirm, for business communications. Of course, the firm must be able toretain, retrieve and supervise business communications regardless ofwhether they are conducted from a device owned by the firm or by theassociated person. . . . firms should have the ability to separate business and personal communications, such as by requiring that the associated persons use a separately identifiable [secure] application on the device for their business communications. . . If the firm has the ability to separate business and personal communications, and has adequate electronic communications policies and procedures regarding usage, then the firm is not required to supervise the personal emails made on these devices. Of course, firms also are free to treat all communications made through the personal communication device as business communications. Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP | 93 69. Breaking Up is Hard to Do:From Dooce to the NLRB Dooced: Termination based on a blog posting; see www.dooce.com(blog of woman who was fired after writing about employer on blog) NLRB v. American Medical Response Company, Case No. 34-CA-12576 (Connecticut, 2011). Employee terminated for criticizing hersupervisor on Facebook in violation of policies. Important casebecause it challenged both the firing decision AND the employerspolicies. Case recently settled. NLRB v. Hispanics United of Buffalo (HUB), September 2, 2011.First ruling by an NLRB Administrative Law Judge, ruled that HUBviolated the NLRA when it terminated five employees for criticizing asixth co-worker on FacebookIt is irrelevant to this case that the [Facebook posters] were not tryingto change their working conditions and that they did not communicatetheir concerns to HUBDewey & LeBoeuf LLP | 94 70. NLRB Position on Social Media Practices and Policies: My Workforce Isnt Unionized. Why Should I Care? Portions of the NLRA apply to ALL private employees. Specifically, employers cant punish employees for discussing working conditions or unionization. Agency has taken aggressive stance on terminations as discipline for critical posts on social media. NLRA gives employees the affirmative right to engage in concerted action for mutual benefit and protection.Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP | 95 71. NLRB Acting General Counsel Releases Report on Social Media Cases: August 18, 2011 Report provides analysis of 14 cases involving employers social and general media policies submitted to NLRBs Division of Advice.
