  1. What Personal Data do we Collect?

    When we use the term Personal Data, we mean any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

    Personal Data is sometimes referred to as Personal Information, depending on the applicable law. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, Personal Information is information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of ‎being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular ‎consumer or household.

    Both Personal Data and Personal Information, which we use interchangeably, are broad definitions, and include pieces of information like your name, address, telephone number, or email address.

    Certain pieces of information that are not Personal Data includes publicly available information, de-identified information or aggregate information. By “aggregate information" or “de-identified information,” we mean information that does not allow us to identify or contact a specific individual. For example, the number of users of our website is aggregate information which does not reveal who those users are.

      Privacy Rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act

      For residents of California, you may have the rights described below with respect to personal information about you. We may also provide you with rights even if we are not required to do so.

      Subject to certain conditions and limitations, you may have the following rights with respect to personal information about you:

      Right of access – You may be entitled to request that we disclose to you personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources from which the information was collected, the purposes of collecting the information, the categories of third parties we have shared the information with, and the categories of personal information that have been shared with third parties for a business purpose. Data solely retained for data backup purposes is generally excluded.

      Right of data portability – In some instances, you may have the right to receive the information about you in a portable and readily usable format. Before providing this information, we must be able to verify your identity. Data solely retained for data backup purposes is generally excluded.

      Right to have personal data erased – Subject to certain conditions, you may be entitled to request that we delete personal information about you. We will not delete personal information about you when the information is required to fulfill a legal obligation, is necessary to exercise or defend legal claims, or where we are required or permitted to retain the information by law. For example, we cannot delete information about you while continuing to provide you with insurance products or where required to be retained for regulatory purposes. Data solely retained for data backup purposes is generally excluded.

      If you chose to exercise any of these rights, to the extent that they apply, U.S. state law prohibits us from discriminating against you on the basis of choosing to exercise your privacy rights. We may, however, charge a different rate or provide a different level of service to the extent permitted by law.

      Before providing information you request in accordance with your rights, we must be able to verify your identity. In order to verify your identity, you will need to submit information about yourself, including, to the extent applicable, providing your account login credentials or other account information, answers to security questions, your name, government identification number we already have on file, date of birth, contact information, or other personal identifying information. We will match this information against information we have previously collected about you to verify your identity and your request. To the extent you maintain an account with us, we will require you to login to that account as part of submitting your request. If we are unable to verify your identity as part of your request, we will not be able to satisfy your request. We are not obligated to collect additional information in order to enable you to verify your identity, but we may offer you the ability to provide additional information for verification purposes. For deletion requests, you will be required to submit a verifiable request for deletion and then to confirm separately that you want personal information about you deleted.

      If you would like to appoint an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf, and that agent is not already authorized to access your account in your profile, please submit a notarized special power of attorney or a letter from your attorney.

      To request that we access or delete personal information, please contact us, or submit an online request by clicking HERE or call us at: 877-800-6249 (toll free in the U.S.).

Those Arch entities that have privacy policies under GLBA are:

      •  https://www.roamright.com/aigi-privacy-notice/

      However, while we may receive this kind of information, individuals in their individual capacity- as opposed to their capacity as a representative of a company—are not our consumer or customer as those terms are defined in the GLBA.

      •  for our everyday business purposes— such as to process transactions, maintain accounts, respond to court orders and legal investigations, or report to credit bureaus

      •  sharing for affiliates’ everyday business purposes—information about your creditworthiness or insurability
      •  affiliates from using your information to market to you
      •  sharing for non-affiliates to market to you

      We do not share information for these purposes. Should we share information for these purposes in the future, we will notify you before doing so and you will have the right to opt-out of that sharing.
