Where Do We Get Your Data From
paragraph dash

We may obtain your personal data:

(a) Directly from you. i.e. when (i) you apply for insurance, (ii) you or other users use or access the Novo Insurance Platform (iii) when you directly provide us with the information, either in writing (e.g., by filling out a form) or verbally (e.g., as a result of your telephone conversation) or (iv) by examining the interaction we have with you. For example, we will obtain your personal data when: (i) you buy any of our services, (ii) you enter into a service contract with us, (iii) you subscribe to receive commercial communications or other offers and information from us or our partners, (iv) you contact us through various channels or request information / offers regarding a service; (vi) visit or browse our Website.

(b) From sources other than directly from you. Such third parties may include government authorities, consumer reporting agencies, doctors or hospitals, insurance agencies, claims adjusters, actuarial data providers, and business partners who support our business. The information we may receive from third party providers, as consumer reporting agencies are referring to vehicle reports, claim reports, and/or credit information where permitted by law. When you ask for a rate quotation, we may obtain credit information if permitted by applicable state law. Our sales and service representatives do not have access to the details of your credit information. Our inquiry will not affect your credit score or credit rating. If you are purchasing a commercial policy, we may also confirm the motor vehicle records of the employees you will have driving on your company's behalf. If you “opt-in” for the collection of telematics information for the safety score, we will obtain additional information about you and your driving patterns as more fully described in the Telematics Policy. Please note that we may work with an affiliated or unaffiliated third party to provide driver scoring and your data will be shared with the third party for use solely in connection with providing the driver scoring to Novo. Furthermore, if you “opt-in” for the collection of telematics information, we collect additional information about you and any crash events involving your vehicle. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, we will only share this information with the insurance company and/or a third party claims administration partner. Full details can be found in our Telematics Policy, following the link above. In connection with your initial insurance application or later renewal of insurance, we may, to the extent permitted by law and with your consent, review your credit report or obtain or use a credit-based insurance score, based on information contained in your credit report. An insurance score uses information from your credit report to help predict how often you are likely to file claims and how expensive those claims will be. We may rely on third parties to develop and provide such insurance scores. Typical items from a credit report that could affect an insurance score – and, thus, the scope or price of insurance we may make available to you - include, but are not limited to, payment history, number of revolving accounts, number of new accounts, the presence of collection accounts, bankruptcies and foreclosures. The information used to develop the insurance score comes from various credit reporting agencies. If we take an adverse action based on information contained in your credit report – such as declining to make insurance available to you or adjusting the scope or price based, in whole or in part, on the insurance score, we will:

  • Provide you with the name, address and phone number of the credit reporting agency that supplied the report;

  • A statement that the credit reporting agency did not make the adverse decision and cannot explain why the decision was made;

  • Inform you of your right to obtain a free copy of the credit reporting agency’s report if requested within sixty (60) days;

  • Notify you of your right to dispute the accuracy or completeness of information provided by the credit reporting agency; and

  • Inform you of your credit score, if a score was used.

03.
