1.3 Information Received from Third Parties
We may obtain information about you from third-party sources to help us operate and improve the Services, understand how customers find us, and tailor our communications. For example, we may receive information about you from advertising and social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Nextdoor, Twitter/X, Bing Ads, and other third-party or publicly available sources. We use this information to understand the effectiveness of our marketing efforts and to reach potential users who may benefit from our Services.
With your authorization, we may also receive information relevant to your automobile property damage claim from third parties, such as insurance carriers, repair facilities, or other parties involved in your claim, to the extent necessary to generate your report and provide the Services you have requested. In addition, where you use the platform's communication tools, your insurance carrier may communicate directly with the platform by sending correspondence, counteroffers, and settlement payment information. We treat all information received from insurers in connection with your claim as your personal information subject to this Privacy Policy.
2. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
2.1 Providing and Improving the Services
- To create and manage your account;
- To process your claim intake, generate AI-powered diminished value or total loss or total loss reports and total loss reports, and provide you with the results of that analysis;
- To process payments and fulfill transactions;
- To facilitate your use of the platform's tools, including transmitting your communications to and from your insurance carrier and recording your counteroffer decisions;

2.2 AI Report Generation and Automated Processing
Our platform uses artificial intelligence and automated processing, powered in part by OpenAI's application programming interface ("API"), to generate diminished value or total loss and total loss reports and to otherwise provide the Services. When you submit information for report generation, that information is transmitted to OpenAI for processing pursuant to OpenAI's API usage policies and data processing terms. We do not use your personal claim information to train or fine-tune any AI model, and we do not authorize OpenAI to use your data for model training under our API agreement. The outputs of this processing are provided to assist you in understanding the potential value of your claim and are intended as informational tools only. They do not constitute legal advice, financial advice, or a guarantee of any particular outcome in your insurance claim. The accuracy of reports depends on the information you submit. The Company is not a law firm.

2.5 Analytics and Research
We may use aggregated, de-identified, or anonymized data derived from our users' information for research, analytics, model improvement, business intelligence, and any other lawful commercial purpose, including licensing and selling such anonymized and aggregated data to third parties. Such aggregated and anonymized data does not identify you personally. Any third party to whom we sell or license anonymized data is contractually prohibited from attempting to re-identify the data or link it back to any individual.
3. HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own independent marketing purposes. We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:
3.1 Service Providers
We may share your information with trusted third-party vendors and service providers who assist us in operating our platform and providing the Services, including hosting, payment processing, analytics, email delivery, customer support, and AI/machine learning infrastructure. These parties are obligated to use your information only as directed by us and to maintain appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
3.2 Business Transfers
In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will provide notice before your personal information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
3.3 Legal Requirements and Protection of Rights
We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in good-faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) comply with a legal obligation, court order, or governmental request; (b) enforce our Terms of Service; (c) protect and defend the rights or property of the Company; or (d) protect the personal safety of users of the Services or the public.

We may share your information with third parties when you have provided explicit consent for us to do so.
3.5 Aggregated or De-Identified Information
We may sell, license, share, or otherwise commercially exploit aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you, with third parties for any lawful commercial purpose, including research, analytics, industry reporting, product development, and commercial licensing arrangements. Any recipient of such data is contractually prohibited from attempting to re-identify the data or associate it with any individual.
3.6 Insurance Carriers and Settlement Counterparties
Where you use the platform's communication tools, your communications (including emails and counteroffer responses) will be transmitted to your insurance carrier as directed by you. Your payment and disbursement information with payment processors and financial institutions will also be shared to the extent necessary to receive settlement funds from your insurer and remit net proceeds to you. We do not share your personal information with insurers for any purpose beyond facilitating the Services.
4. DATA RETENTION
We retain your personal information, including your account information, claim submissions, AI-generated reports, communications, counteroffer records, and settlement financial data, for a period of seven (7) years from the date of collection or last account activity, unless a longer retention period is required by applicable law or necessary to resolve a dispute or enforce our agreements. The seven-year retention period is intended to align with applicable statutes of limitations and standard recordkeeping practices for claim-related documentation. After the applicable retention period has expired, we will securely delete or anonymize your personal information in accordance with our data destruction practices. You may request deletion of your account and associated data as described in Section 7 below; however, we may retain certain information for the full retention period as required by law or for legitimate business purposes.
5. DATA SECURITY
We implement reasonable and appropriate administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include encryption of data in transit and at rest, access controls, and regular security assessments. However, no data transmission over the internet or electronic storage system is completely secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. In the event of a data breach that affects your rights, we will notify you as required by applicable law. Our specific breach notification procedures and timelines are described in Section 7.8 of this Privacy Policy.

7.4 California Residents; Notice Regarding CCPA
While we market our Services to residents of California, we do not currently meet the revenue, data volume, or other thresholds that would make us a "business" subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) / California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). Accordingly, the CCPA/CPRA does not apply to our processing of California residents' personal information at this time. We remain committed to protecting the privacy of all users and will reassess our obligations under the CCPA/CPRA as our business grows. If you have questions about your privacy rights as a California resident, please contact us at the information provided in Section 10.
7.5 Other U.S. State Privacy Laws

7.6 Data Subject Access Requests
If you wish to access, correct, update, or delete personal information we hold about you, you may submit a request by contacting us at the email address listed in Section 15. To protect your privacy and security, we may verify your identity before processing your request. We will respond to verifiable requests within forty-five (45) days of receipt. In some circumstances, we may require an additional forty-five (45) day extension, in which case we will notify you of the extension and the reason for the delay. We may deny requests that are unfounded, excessive, or repetitive, or where we are required to retain the information by law. Please note that deletion of your account does not automatically delete all associated claim data, which may be retained for the period described in Section 4.

9. USE OF ANONYMIZED CLAIM INFORMATION
By using the Services, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable license to use, process, analyze, sell, license, and otherwise commercially exploit information derived from your claim, including but not limited to general facts about the incident, AI report outputs, and general communication context, for any lawful purpose, provided that all personally identifying information — including your name, address, vehicle identification number, claim number, and insurance policy information — has been removed through reasonable anonymization measures prior to any such use or disclosure. Permitted uses of such anonymized and aggregated data include but are not limited to:
- Improving the accuracy and performance of our AI models and report generation algorithms;
- Internal research, product development, and quality assurance;
- Aggregated industry reporting, educational content, and thought leadership publications;
- Marketing and promotional materials illustrating the general effectiveness of our Services, such as describing claim outcome ranges or common communication patterns.
- Licensing and selling anonymized and aggregated data to third parties for their own lawful commercial purposes, including insurance industry analytics, actuarial research, data products, and any other commercial application.
We will not use your name, photograph, voice, or any other directly identifying information in any testimonial, case study, advertisement, or public-facing promotional material without obtaining your separate, prior, explicit written consent.
You retain all rights to your underlying personally identifiable claim information. This grant does not permit us to sell or share data that constitutes your personal information as defined under applicable privacy law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act. Any third party to whom we sell or license anonymized data is contractually prohibited from attempting to re-identify that data or link it back to any individual. This grant does not affect any of your rights under Section 7 of this Privacy Policy.
10. THIRD-PARTY REFERRALS AND ATTORNEY REVIEW
As part of our Services, we offer you the option to have your diminished value or total loss report reviewed by an independent, licensed attorney on a pro bono basis through our optional attorney review program. Participation in this program is entirely voluntary. If you opt in, the following applies:
10.1 Information Shared with Referred Law Firm
If you elect attorney review during the claim intake process, we will share your claim information, including your AI-generated report, accident details, vehicle information, insurance information, and relevant supporting documents, with the law firm identified at the time of your opt-in, solely for the purpose of that attorney's evaluation of your claim and potential representation. We will not share your information with any law firm unless you have affirmatively selected that option.
10.2 Independent Third Parties
The referred law firms are independent third parties and are not employees, agents, or representatives of the Company. Any engagement you enter into with a referred attorney is solely between you and that attorney and is governed by a separate engagement agreement. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice.
10.3 No Attorney-Client Relationship
Submitting your information through our platform or electing attorney review does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and the Company, or between you and any referred attorney, unless and until a formal engagement agreement is separately executed between you and that attorney.
10.4 Attorney Advertising Disclosure
Communications associated with the attorney referral program may constitute attorney advertising under applicable state bar rules. Any law firm to which you are referred operates independently and is solely responsible for compliance with applicable professional conduct rules. The Company does not receive compensation from referred law firms in exchange for referrals that would affect your rights or the independence of the attorney's evaluation.
11. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
Our Services are not directed to, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from, individuals under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your minor child has provided personal information to us, please contact us immediately. Upon verification, we will take steps to delete such information from our records.
12. THIRD-PARTY LINKS AND SERVICES
Our platform may contain links to third-party websites, tools, or services that are not operated by us. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you access. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of third-party services.
13. AI-GENERATED REPORTS; IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER
The diminished value or total loss and total loss reports generated by our platform are produced using artificial intelligence models and algorithms. These reports are intended solely to provide informational guidance to assist you in understanding your vehicle's potential diminished value or total loss or total loss valuation in connection with an insurance claim.
THESE REPORTS DO NOT CONSTITUTE LEGAL ADVICE, FINANCIAL ADVICE, INSURANCE ADVICE, OR A PROFESSIONAL APPRAISAL. We make no warranty, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any particular purpose of the AI-generated reports. Actual claim outcomes will depend on many factors beyond our control, including the policies, procedures, and determinations of your insurance company. We strongly recommend that you consult with a licensed attorney or public adjuster professional for advice specific to your claim.
By using the Services, you agree that the Company, its officers, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any decisions made or actions taken in reliance upon the AI-generated reports.
14. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. When we make material changes, we will update the "Effective Date" at the top of this policy and, where appropriate, provide notice to you by email or through the Services. Your continued use of the Services after any such update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
