Steps Equitable takes to protect your identity
Equitable is committed to safeguarding all confidential information we may obtain about you through a combination of technical, administrative and physical safeguards.
Confirmations will be sent to you for changes to your address and online passwords. If you request these changes and don’t receive a confirmation – or receive a confirmation and did not request changes – please call our customer service representatives immediately.
Confirmations will also be sent to you when you request eDelivery of certain documents.
Equitable will never send you an e-mail or send you a link to our website asking for confirmation of your passwords or to verify your confidential information unless you have previously asked us to do so. Unsolicited requests you receive may be attempts at phishing and should be treated with extreme caution.
