4.1 Corporate Reorganizations, Book Transfers, & Affiliate Servicing Transfers
ABI reserve the right to share your Personal Information, application history, driving records, and transactional data with our corporate affiliates under common ownership and control, including INSHUR Inc. This sharing is conducted for operational efficiency, program administration, and policy continuation.
In the event that ABI undergoes an enterprise reorganization, restructures operational lines, or assigns/transfers a commercial insurance program, book of business, or policy expirations (including but not limited to Period X, Period Zero, and US Rides insurance frameworks) to an affiliated broker of record such as INSHUR Inc., your records will be transferred to that succeeding entity as an operational asset to execute continuous renewal solicitations, coverage binding, and servicing.
Operational Exception Notice: Transfers of policy profiles and expiration records to affiliates for the purpose of policy administration, re-marketing, and seamless renewal generation are conducted under standard business servicing exceptions (including GLBA and state insurance privacy exemptions) and do not constitute a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under state privacy statutes.
5. Your State Privacy Rights
5.1 California Rights (CCPA/CPRA)
If you are a California resident, you have specific rights regarding your Personal Information, subject to certain exceptions (such as data covered under the federal GLBA or insurance-specific exemptions):
- Right to Know/Access: You have the right to request a disclosure of what Personal Information we have collected, used, and shared over the past 12 months.
- Right to Delete: You have the right to request the deletion of your Personal Information, subject to our statutory mandate to retain records for insurance tracking and compliance.
- Right to Correct: You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate personal data.
- Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing: We do not sell your personal information. If we share your information with affiliates for secondary cross-contextual behavioral advertising, you have the right to opt out.
- Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights.
5.2 Operational Transfers, Policy Non-Renewal, & FCRA Notice
Affiliate Transfer & Non-Renewal: Operational data transfers executed to transition policy records to our affiliate INSHUR Inc. for program servicing and automatic renewal quotes do not provide an inline opt-out link. However, if you do not wish to have your policy records transferred or renewed through INSHUR Inc., you may request policy non-renewal or record deletion (where permitted by legal retention mandates) by contacting Customer Support prior to your policy expiration date.
FCRA Notice: To the extent consumer credit scores, credit metrics, or motor vehicle report details are shared with affiliates for secondary risk evaluation or marketing purposes, consumers maintain rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) to opt out of such non-servicing affiliate credit data sharing by submitting a request to our Privacy Office.
6. Data Security and Retention
We maintain robust administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, loss, or alteration.
