Advise business lines on compliant use of personal information.
Support the development, enhancement, and operationalization of Symetra’s external facing privacy notices and internal privacy policies, procedures, and standards.
Ensure privacy compliance controls are implemented and sustained across business lines, digital channels and technology platforms.
