How We May Collect Other Information

​

We and our third-party service providers may collect Other Information in a variety of ways, including:

​

• Through your browser or device: Certain information is collected by most browsers or automatically through your device, such as your Media Access Control (MAC) address, computer type (Windows or Macintosh), screen resolution, operating system name and version, device manufacturer and model, language, Internet browser type and version and the name and version of the Services (such as an App) you are using. We use this information to ensure that the Services function properly.

• Using cookies: Cookies are pieces of information stored directly on the computer that you are using. Cookies allow us to collect information such as browser type, time spent on the Services, pages visited, language preferences, and other anonymous traffic data. We and our service providers use the information for security purposes, to facilitate navigation, display information more effectively, and to personalize your experience while using the Services, as well as for online tracking purposes. We can recognize your computer to assist your use of the Services. We also gather statistical information about the usage of the Services in order to continually improve the design and functionality, understand how the Services are used and to assist us with resolving questions regarding the Services. Cookies further allow us to select which of our advertisements or offers are most likely to appeal to you and display them while you are on the Services. We and our service providers may also use cookies in online advertising to track responses to our advertisements, and we and our service providers may use cookies or other files to track your use of other websites.

 

If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to automatically decline cookies or be given the choice of declining or accepting the transfer to your computer of a particular cookie (or cookies) from a particular site. However, if you do not accept these cookies, you may experience some inconvenience in your use of the Services. For example, we may not be able to recognize your computer and you may need to log in every time you visit the applicable Services. You also may not receive advertising or other offers from us that are relevant to your interests and needs.

​

• Using pixel tags and other similar technologies: Pixel tags (also known as web beacons and clear GIFs) may be used in connection with some Services to, among other things, track the actions of users of the Services (including email recipients), measure the success of our marketing campaigns and compile statistics about usage of the Services and response rates.

• IP Address: Your IP Address is a number that is automatically assigned to the computer that you are using by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). An IP Address may be identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever a user accesses the Services, along with the time of the visit and the page(s) that were visited. Collecting IP Addresses is standard practice and is done automatically by many websites, applications and other services. We use IP Addresses for purposes such as calculating usage levels of the Services, helping diagnose server problems, identifying the general location of the device, and administering the Services.

• Physical Location: We may collect the physical location of your device by, for example, using satellite, cell phone tower or WiFi signals. We may use your device’s physical location to provide you with personalized location-based services and content. We may also share your device’s physical location, combined with information about what advertisements you viewed and other information we collect, with our marketing partners to enable them to provide you with more personalized content and to study the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. In some instances, you may be permitted to allow or deny such uses and/or sharing of your device’s location, but if you choose to deny such uses and/or sharing, we and/or our marketing partners may not be able to provide you with the applicable personalized services and content.

• From you: Information such as your location, as well as other information, such as your preferred means of communication, is collected when you voluntarily provide this information. Unless combined with Personal Information, this information does not personally identify you or any other user of the Services.

• By aggregating information: Aggregated Personal Information does not personally identify you or any other user of the Services.

 

How We May Use and Disclose Other Information

 

Please note that we may use and disclose Other Information for any purpose, except where we are required to do otherwise under applicable law. If we are required to treat Other Information as Personal Information under applicable law, then we may use it as described in “How We May Collect Other Information” section above, as well as for all the purposes for which we use and disclose Personal Information.

What type of information do we collect?

​

You give us most of what we need in the application process. To make sure what we have is correct, or to obtain additional information, we may need to check back with you. For example, you may be asked to give us more details in writing, via e-mail or over the phone. In addition, we may obtain other information, including but not limited to the following:

​

• Information from consumer reporting agencies and other insurance support organizations to the extent permitted by law. This may include items such as credit history, credit-based insurance score, driving record, accident, and motor vehicle conviction history, and claim history. Information given to us by an insurance support organization, including consumer reporting agencies, may be retained by them, and disclosed to others.

• Your past insurance history, including information about your policies and claims, from insurance support organizations or your former insurers.

• Information regarding your property. We may obtain this through third party reports and through a property inspection. We or an independent inspector may visit the property to inspect its condition, or we may use an unmanned aircraft system. We may obtain geospatial information and take pictures or video. If we need more details about the property, we may need to schedule an interior inspection.

• Information from government agencies or independent reporting companies.

• Other third-party data relating to the insured risk, such as possible drivers and vehicles associated with your household and odometer readings associated with any vehicle(s).

​

We do not give or sell your personal information to nonaffiliated third parties for their own marketing purposes without your prior consent.

 

We may give the personal information we collect to others to help us conduct, manage, or service our business. When we do, we require them to use it only for the reasons we gave it to them.
