Sensitive Personal Information Categories

  • To perform the services reasonably expected by an average consumer who requests those services. 
  • To detect security incidents that compromise the availability, authenticity, integrity, and confidentiality of stored or transmitted PI.  
  • To resist malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal actions directed at the business and to prosecute those responsible for those actions.  
  • To ensure the physical safety of natural persons. 
  • For short-term, transient use.  
  • To perform services on behalf of the Company. 
  • To purposes that do not involve inferring characteristics about consumers. 

Your Rights Under CCPA

If you are a California resident, the CCPA may provide you with the following rights regarding personal information we collect, use, disclose, and retain about you, subject to applicable exceptions and limitations.

Right to Know and Data Portability Requests. You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your PI (the "right to know"), including the specific pieces of PI we have collected about you (a "data portability request"). Our response will cover the 12-month period preceding the request, although we will honor requests to cover longer periods that do not extend past January 1, 2022, unless doing so would be impossible or involve disproportionate effort. You may exercise your right to know twice in any 12-month period. Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see Section: How to Exercise Your Rights), we will disclose to you: 
  • The categories of: 
    • PI we collected about you; and 
    • Sources from which we collected your PI. 
  • The business or commercial purpose for collecting your PI and, if applicable, selling or sharing your PI. 
  • If applicable, the categories of persons, including third parties, to whom we disclosed your PI, including separate disclosures identifying the categories of your PI that we: 
    • Disclosed for a business purpose to each category of persons; and 
    • Sold or shared to each category of third parties. 
  • When your right to know submission includes a data portability request, a copy of your PI, subject to any permitted redactions. 
  • Right to Delete and Right to Correct. You have the right to request that we delete any of your PI that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions and limitations (the "right to delete"). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity, we will delete your PI from our systems unless an exception allows us to retain it. We will also notify our service providers, contractors, and other recipients to take appropriate action. You also have the right to request correction of PI we maintain about you that you believe is inaccurate (the "right to correct"). We may require you to provide documentation, if needed, to confirm your identity and support your claim that the information is inaccurate. Unless an exception applies, we will correct PI that our review determines is inaccurate and notify our service providers to take appropriate action. 
  • Right to Limit Sensitive Personal Information Use and Disclosure to Permitted SPI Purposes. You have a right to ask businesses that use or disclose your SPI to limit those actions to just the CCPA's Permitted SPI Purposes listed above (the "right to limit"). Since we do not use or disclose SPI beyond the CCPA's Permitted SPI Purposes, we do not currently provide this consumer right.  
  • Personal Information Sales or Sharing Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights. We do not sell or share consumer PI for cross-context behavioral advertising, as defined under CCPA. Because we do not engage in the sale or sharing of consumer PI, consumers do not need to submit opt-out requests, and user-enabled opt-out preference signals (such as Global Privacy Control or cookie-based signals) are not applicable in this context. The CCPA also includes restrictions on the sale or share of PI of individuals under the age of 16. Since do not sell or share consumer PI these opt-in requirements do not apply. If our practices change, we will provide advance notice and any rights required under applicable law.
  • ADMT and Profiling. We do not use automated decision-making technology or profiling for decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects concerning consumers on this Site.
  • Right to non-discrimination. You have the right not to be discriminated against or retaliated against for exercising any of your privacy rights under the CCPA. 
  • The right to designate an authorized agent to submit one of the above requests on your behalf.  See below how you can designate an authorized agent within Section:  Verification Process and Authorized Agents. 

Responding to Your Requests to Know, Delete, or Correct 

We will confirm receipt of your request within ten business days. If you do not receive confirmation within the ten-day timeframe, please reach out to privacy@frankcrum.com. We endeavor to substantively respond to a verifiable request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to another 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response to your verified email address. Our substantive response will tell you whether we have complied with your request. If we cannot comply with your request in whole or in part, we will explain the reason, subject to any legal or regulatory restrictions. Applicable law may allow or require us to refuse to provide you with access to some or all the PI that we hold about you, or we may have destroyed, deleted, or made your PI anonymous in compliance with our record retention policies and obligations. 

Any disclosures we provide will cover information for the 12-month period preceding the request receipt date. We will consider requests to provide longer disclosure periods that do not extend past January 1, 2022, unless providing a longer timeframe would be impossible or involves disproportionate effort. 

For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your PI that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance. 

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request. 

Notice of Rights to Limit the Use of Your Sensitive Personal Information

We do not use or disclose your SPI for purposes that give rise to a right to limit the use and disclosure of your SPI under CCPA. Because we do not use SPI for purposes that trigger the right to limit under California law, a “Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information” link is not applicable currently. If our practices change, we will provide that link and update this Policy.

Notice of Right to Opt-Out of the Selling and Sharing of Your Information

We do not sell or share consumer PI, as those terms are defined by CCPA. As a result, consumers do not need to submit requests to opt out of the sale or sharing of PI. Because we do not sell or share consumer PI, we do not disclose such information to third parties for sale or sharing purposes, and there is no downstream optout notification requirement applicable to our service providers or contractors. If our datahandling practices change in the future in a manner that would trigger optout rights, we will provide notice and any rights required under applicable law at that time.

Verification Process and Authorized Agents  

If you are a California resident, you can authorize someone else as an authorized agent who can submit a request on your behalf. To do so, you must either: 

  • Execute a valid, verifiable, and notarized power of attorney; or    
  • Provide other written, signed authorizations that we can then verify. When we receive a request submitted on your behalf by an authorized agent who does not have a power of attorney, that person will be asked to provide written proof that they have your permission to act on your behalf, and we will also contact you and ask you for information to verify your own identity directly with us and not through your authorized agent. We may deny a request from an authorized agent if the agent does not provide your signed permission demonstrating that you have authorized them to act on your behalf.    

Other California Privacy Rights

The California Civil Code permits California residents with whom we have an established business relationship to request that we provide you with a list of certain categories of personal information that we have disclosed to third parties for their direct marketing purposes during the preceding calendar year. To make such a request, please send an email to privacy@frankcrum.com or write to us at the address listed below. Please mention that you are making a “California Shine the Light” inquiry.

Additional Categories or Other Purposes

We will not collect additional categories of personal information or use the personal information we collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes without providing you notice. If required by law, we will also seek your consent before using your personal information for a new or unrelated purpose.

Response and Timing for Privacy Requests

We will process privacy requests in accordance with applicable law and within the timeframes required by the laws that apply to your request. We may take steps to verify your identity and authority before fulfilling certain requests, and we may request additional information where necessary to do so.

Where permitted or required by law, we may deny a request in whole or in part, including where an exemption applies or where we are unable to verify the request. If we deny your request, we will explain the basis for the denial to the extent permitted by law.

Where applicable law provides an appeal right, we will describe how to appeal a denial in our response.

Notice of Right to Opt-Out of Profiling, Automated Decision Making, and Targeted Advertising

We do not use personal information for targeted advertising, and we do not engage in profiling for decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you as a consumer. We also do not use automated decision-making to make such significant decisions on this Site. Where required by applicable law, consumers may contact us using the request methods described in this Policy to inquire about rights that may apply to their personal information. If our practices change, we will update this Policy and provide any required notices, rights, or opt-out mechanisms.

You can configure your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the Site may not then work properly.

Non-Essential Cookies

Non-essential cookies are used only for limited analytics, functionality, and measurement purposes on this Site.

  • Performance cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site, such as pages visited, links clicked, general traffic patterns, and traffic sources.

  • Functional cookies support user preferences and enhanced functionality, such as language settings, display preferences, and secure session management.

  • Because we do not sell personal information or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, advertising industry opt-out tools are not required for this Site. We nevertheless honor browser settings and user controls that manage cookies at the browser or device level, subject to the limitations of those controls.

Cookie Management

You can manage cookies through your browser or device settings. Most browsers allow you to review, block, or delete cookies, and some browsers allow you to set preferences for certain websites. If you choose to block or delete cookies, some features of the Site may not function properly.

Where available, you may also use controls provided by your browser, device, or the Site to manage certain cookie preferences. These tools may not affect all technologies, and their effectiveness depends on the browser, device, and settings you use.

Do Not Track (DNT) is a browser preference some users enable to signal that they do not want online activity tracked. Because there is no consistent industry standard for DNT, our Site does not respond differently to DNT signals. Users may still manage cookies and similar technologies through browser, device, and Site controls where available.

Depending on your state, you may have the right to receive additional information, and it will be included in the response to your access request. 

  • Correction. You may request that we correct inaccuracies in your PI that we maintain, considering the information's nature and purpose of processing.

How We Retain Your Personal Information

We maintain retention schedules aligned with legal, regulatory, tax, and contractual requirements and delete or deidentify data when no longer needed. We keep the categories of personal information described in this Policy for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described or for as otherwise legally permitted or required, such as maintaining the Site, operating our organization, complying with our legal obligations, resolving disputes, and for safety, security, and fraud prevention. This means that we consider our legal and business obligations, potential risks of harm, and nature of the information when deciding how long to retain personal information. At the end of the retention period, personal information will be deleted, destroyed, or deidentified. We align retention to data minimization and reasonable expectations for each purpose, and we honor optouts for at least 12 months before seeking reauthorization.

Data Minimization

We limit our collection, use, and retention of personal information to what is reasonably necessary and proportionate for the purposes described in this Policy.

External Links

Our website contains links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites. To help ensure the protection of your privacy, we recommend that you review the Policy of any website you visit via a link from our website.  If you access our website through a mobile device, your device or browser may prompt you to grant permission for features such as location, push notifications, or camera access. You can revoke these permissions at any time through your device settings.

Email Tracking Notice

When you receive an email from us, we may use tracking technologies to gather certain information about your interaction with the email. Specifically, we may collect whether you open the email; the time and date when you open it; and the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the device used to open the email.

We use this information to help us understand how our emails are received and used, so we can improve content, deliverability, and relevance. This tracking is done automatically using a small, often invisible image (sometimes called a “tracking pixel” or “pixel”) embedded in the email or similar methods.

If you prefer not to have this information tracked, you may disable automatic image loading in your email client or use settings/tools that block tracking pixels. Additionally, unsubscribing from our email list will stop further emails (and thus tracking) from us.

Automated Decision‑Making, Profiling, and AI

We do not use automated decisionmaking systems, including machine learning or AI tools to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you. This includes decisions relating to eligibility for, or access to, credit, employment, housing, financial services, essential or federally regulated services, or other outcomes that could meaningfully affect your rights or opportunities. If any automated output could influence how we present content or offer to you on the website, those outputs operate within predefined parameters and are either reviewed or overseen by people or constrained, so they do not produce legal or similarly significant effects.

We do not engage in profiling for decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you. If we ever begin using profiling in a way that implies additional rights (for example, under the laws of states that provide optout rights for certain profiling), we will update this Policy and provide any required optout mechanisms.

If we materially change how we use automated decision-making, profiling, or AI, including if future law requires additional disclosures, access, appeal, or opt-out rights for such processing, we will update this Policy and provide any required tools, disclosures, and instructions at or before the time those changes take effect.

Compliance With Law and Safety

We may disclose specific personal and/or sensitive personal information based on a good faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to comply with or conform to the law or that such disclosure is necessary to protect employees or the public. 

How We Protect Your Personal Information

We use commercially reasonable administrative, physical, and technical measures designed to protect your personal information from accidental loss or destruction and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. However, no website, mobile application, system, electronic storage, or online service is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to, through use, or in connection with the Site. Communications sent to or from the Site may not be secure, and you should carefully decide what information you send to us via such communications channels. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. The safety and security of your information also depend on you. You are responsible for taking steps to protect your personal information against unauthorized use, disclosure, and access.

Passwords  

The personal information in your account, including your insurance policies, claims, and payment information, is protected by a unique password you create. To maintain the security of your account, you should not share your password with any third party.

Children's and Minors' Data

We have not knowingly collected or processed personal information pertaining to children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 16 through the Site or our Services without appropriate authorization. In some circumstances, we may receive information about minors from parents, guardians, policyholders, employers, claim representatives, or other authorized persons in connection with insurance products, services, claims, or related activities. If we learn that we have collected personal information directly from a child under 16 through our Site without authorization required by applicable law, we will take appropriate steps to delete or otherwise address that information. If you believe we may have collected personal information from or about a child under 16 inappropriately, please contact us at privacy@frankcrum.com.
