Hi Marley Privacy Policy

Last Updated: December 9 , 2022

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes the manner in which Hi Marley, Inc. (“Hi Marley”, “we,” or “us”) and our website at www.himarley.com (the “Site”), as well as all related websites, networks, applications, and other services (including SMS services) provided by us and on which a link to this Policy is displayed (collectively, together with the Site, our “Service”) use and collect information from our customers, which are typically insurance carriers and TPAs (“Customers”) and the ultimate insurance policy end users as well as Guests (as defined in the Terms of Use) (“End Users”), (together, “users,” “you” or “your”). This Policy is incorporated into and is subject to the Hi Marley Terms of Service (available at https://himarley.com/terms-of-use).

In this Policy, “information,” and “personal information” means information that identifies you or can reasonably be used to identify you.

Please read this Policy carefully as it will help you make informed decisions about sharing your personal information with us.

Hi Marley is committed to the privacy and security of your information and informing you about how we use your information. To assist you in making informed decisions about your personal information, this Policy describes the information that we gather from you on the Service, how we use and disclose such information, and the steps we take to protect such information. By using the Service, you agree to this Policy. If you do not agree with any terms of this Policy, please discontinue use of the Service. We may update this Policy from time to time, so please review this Policy periodically.

Information We Collect on the Service:

Customer Information. When customers sign up to learn more about Hi Marley or contact us through our Service, we collect information such as name, email address, company, and any information provided in the message.

End User Information. When you use the Service, we may collect information about you, including your name, email address, physical address, mobile phone number, insurance policy information, insurance claim information, and your preferences, and we may link this information with other information about you. We may collect this information either directly from you, or from your insurance carrier. We may also collect the contents of your communications and any photos or videos you choose to send through our Service or to us.

Survey Information. You may provide us with information through your responses to a customer feedback survey. We anonymize or aggregate this information and may use it for marketing or product improvement purposes.

Cookies and Automatically Collected Information. When you use the Service, we may send one or more cookies – small text files containing a string of alphanumeric characters – to your device. We may use both session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie disappears after you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the Service. Please review your web browser “Help” file to learn the proper way to modify your cookie settings. Please note that if you delete, or choose not to accept, cookies from the Service, you may not be able to utilize the features of the Service to their fullest potential.  We may use third party cookies on our Service as well.  For instance, we use Google Analytics to collect and process certain analytics data. Google provides some additional privacy options described at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/ regarding Google Analytics cookies.  Hi Marley does not process or respond to web browsers’ “do not track” signals or other similar transmissions that indicate a request to disable online tracking of users who use our Service.

We may also automatically record certain information from your device by using various types of technology, including “clear gifs” or “web beacons.” This automatically collected information may include your IP address or other device address or ID, web browser and/or device type, the web pages or sites that you visit just before or just after you use the Service, the pages or other content you view or otherwise interact with on the Service, and the dates and times that you visit, access, or use the Service. We also may use these technologies to collect information regarding your interaction with email messages, such as whether you opened, clicked on, or forwarded a message. This information is gathered from all users, and may be connected with other information about you.

Location Information. We may obtain information about your physical location by inference from other information we collect (for example, your IP address indicates the general geographic region from which you are connecting to the Internet).

Third Party Web Beacons and Third Party Buttons. We may display third-party content on the Service. Third-party content may use cookies, web beacons, or other mechanisms for obtaining data in connection with your viewing of the third party content on the Service. Additionally, we may implement third party buttons (such as Facebook “like” or “share” buttons) that may function as web beacons even when you do not interact with the button. Information collected through third-party web beacons and buttons is collected directly by these third parties, not by Hi Marley. Information collected by a third party in this manner is subject to that third party’s own data collection, use, and disclosure policies.

Information from Other Sources. We may receive additional information about you, such as demographic data, from third parties such as data or marketing partners, and combine it with other information we have about you. We do this to learn how to better communicate with you, tailor our services, and for other purposes set forth below.

How We Use the Information We Collect.

We use information we collect on the Service in a variety of ways in providing the Service and operating our business, including the following:

We use the information that we collect on the Service to operate, maintain, enhance and provide all features of the Service, to provide services and information that you request, to respond to comments and questions, and otherwise to provide support to users. For example, we may use the information we collect to notify you of natural disasters and other emergencies in your area; help you report, process, or manage insurance claims; and connect you with third party vendors.

We use the information that we collect on the Service to understand and analyze the usage trends and preferences of our users, to improve the Service, and to develop new products, services, features, and functionality.

We may use your email address or other information we collect to contact you for administrative purposes such as customer service or to notify you of changes to the Service.

To find and prevent fraud, and respond to trust and safety issues; and for compliance purposes, including enforcing our Terms of Service or other legal rights, or as may be required by applicable laws and regulations or requested by any judicial process or governmental agency.

We may use cookies and automatically collected information to: (i) personalize our Service, such as remembering information about you so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the Service; (ii) provide customized content and information; (iii) monitor and analyze the effectiveness of the Service and third-party marketing activities; and (iv) monitor aggregate site usage metrics such as total number of visitors and pages viewed.

Retention

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to provide our products and services to our Customers or comply with our contracts with them, or for other legitimate purposes such as complying with our legal obligations, internal analytics, marketing, resolving disputes or enforcing our agreements. In some cases, this will be for the length of your relationship with us and several years afterwards. In other cases, the retention period may be shorter.

When We Disclose Information.

Except as described in this Policy, we will not disclose information about you that we collect on the Service to third parties without your consent. Without limiting the foregoing, we do not sell, lease, rent, loan or otherwise provide your personal information to third parties for their lead aggregation or marketing purposes without your explicit, express written consent to do so. We may disclose information to third parties if you consent to us doing so, as well as in the following circumstances:

Any information that an End User provides through the Service, including in the course of reporting, processing, or managing an insurance claim, or otherwise concerning insurance coverage, we may provide to the End User’s insurance provider, insurance agent or third party claims administrator servicing the End User’s policy in order to provide the Service. Please see the relevant policies of your insurance provider for details on how your insurance provider, insurance agent or third party claims administrator manages your information.

We may share any information that an End User provides through the Service with third parties at the End User’s request. For example, we may share an End User’s name, phone number, and current location with rental car and rideshare providers if the End User gets in an accident and asks us to arrange a ride home.

We work with third party service providers to provide website, application development, hosting, maintenance, SMS, and other services for us. These third parties may have access to or process information about you as part of providing those services for us. Generally, we limit the information provided to these service providers to that which is reasonably necessary for them to perform their functions, and we require them to agree to maintain the confidentiality of such information.

We may disclose information about you if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with state and federal laws, in response to a court order, judicial or other government subpoena or warrant, or to otherwise cooperate with law enforcement or other governmental agencies.

We also reserve the right to disclose information about you that we believe, in good faith, is appropriate or necessary to: (i) take precautions against liability; (ii) protect ourselves or others from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful uses or activity; (iii) investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations; (iv) protect the security or integrity of the Service and any facilities or equipment used to make the Service available; or (v) protect our property or other legal rights (including, but not limited to, enforcement of our agreements), or the rights, property, or safety of others.

Information about our users may be disclosed and otherwise transferred to an acquirer, successor, or assignee as part of any merger, acquisition, debt financing, sale of assets, or similar transaction, or in the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership in which information is transferred to one or more third parties as one of our business assets.

We may make certain aggregated, automatically collected, or otherwise non-identifiable information available to third parties for various purposes, including: (i) compliance with various reporting obligations; (ii) for business or marketing purposes; or (iii) to assist such parties in understanding End Users’ interests, habits, and usage patterns for certain programs, content, services, advertisements, promotions, and/or functionality available through the Service.

Any information you provide on third-party sites or services is provided directly to the operators of such services and is subject to those operators’ policies, if any, governing privacy and security, even if accessed through the Service. We are not responsible for the content or privacy and security practices and policies of third-party sites or services to which links or access are provided through the Service. We encourage you to learn about third parties’ privacy and security policies before providing them with information.

Children’s Privacy

Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. Our Service is a general audience Service not directed to children under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 18 without obtaining parental consent.

Data Security

We use certain physical, administrative, and technical safeguards that are designed to improve the integrity and security of information that we collect and maintain. Please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.  We cannot and do not guarantee that information about you will not be accessed, viewed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.

Accessing your information

In many instances we hold information about you on behalf of our Customers. In those instances, you should reach out to the Customer about accessing, correcting, or deleting your information before contacting us.

Where we hold your information on our own behalf, and where legally required, you have a right to request access to the information we hold about you. Where legally required, you can also request that we correct or delete your information. Subject to applicable law, you may submit a request for information about the sources of your information or the types of organizations we disclose it to.

In certain situations, we may not be able to provide access to all the information you request.  If this occurs, we will advise you of the reasons for the restriction subject to any legal or regulatory limitations where required by law.

If you think the information we have about you is incorrect or incomplete, you can ask for amendments or additions to your information.  As we make decisions based on the information we have, we encourage you to help us keep your information up-to-date.

To make a request, see “Contact Us” below.

Data Location and International Users

Your information may be transmitted through, stored, or processed in regions outside your home country or province, in which case the information is governed by the laws of these other regions and may be subject to law enforcement access. These countries may have laws governing data collection, use and disclosure that may differ from your home country. The Service, including all user data, is hosted in the United States. If you are located outside of the United States, you should know we may collect, process and disclose personal information in regions other than your country of residence. These regions may have laws governing data collection, use and disclosure that may differ from U.S. law. By using our Service, you consent to the transfer of your personal information outside your country of residence. And, we may transfer your data from the U.S. to other countries or regions in connection with storage and processing of data, fulfilling your requests, and operating the Service. By providing any information on or to the Service, you consent to such transfer, storage, and processing.
