• What information we, or our third party service providers, may collect about you;

4. DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES

We will not disclose your personal information to third parties other than as described in this Notice unless we have your permission or are required or permitted to do so by law. We may disclose such information with our affiliates as necessary to carry out the purposes for which the information was supplied or collected. Similarly, third party contractors, consultants and/or vendors engaged by us to provide services may have access to your personal information. These third parties will be subject to their own data protection requirements providing the same or greater level of security provided by us and in most instances will also have entered into a written agreement with us which addresses access to and use of your personal information.

We may disclose the personal information we collect for the purposes described above with third parties as follows:

• Affiliates. We may disclose consumer lead information (e.g., identifiers, contact information, and professional or employment-related information) within our family of companies (our parent company and subsidiaries) to centrally manage marketing operations, route and respond to inquiries, administer customer relationship management, measure campaign effectiveness, and maintain suppression lists and communication preferences. Our affiliates use this information only for these limited purposes and consistent with our instructions.
• Vendors and Services Providers. We may disclose personal information we collect to our service providers, processors, and others who perform functions on our behalf. These may include, for example, IT service providers, help desk, analytics providers, consultants, auditors, and legal counsel.
• Compliance and Legal Obligations. We may disclose personal information to third parties to comply with our legal and compliance obligations and to respond to legal process. For example, we may disclose information in response to subpoenas, court orders, and other lawful requests by regulators and law enforcement, including responding to national security or law enforcement disclosure requirements. This may include regulators, government entities, and law enforcement as required by law or legal process.
• Security and Protection of Rights. We may disclose personal information where we believe it is necessary to protect Interstate or our program offerings, our rights and property, or the rights, property and safety of others. For example, we may disclose personal information in order to (i) prevent, detect, investigate and respond to fraud, unauthorized activities and access, illegal activities, and misuse of this Site or our offerings, (ii) situations involving potential threats to the health, safety, or legal rights of any person or third party, or (iii) enforce, and detect, investigate and take action in response to violations of our Terms of Use.  We may also disclose information, including personal information, related to litigation and other legal claims or proceedings in which we are involved, as well as for our internal accounting, auditing, compliance, recordkeeping, and legal functions.
• In Support of Business Transfers. If we, or our affiliates are, or may be acquired by, merged with, or invested in by another company, or if any of our assets are, or may be, transferred to another company, whether as part of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or otherwise, we may transfer the information we have collected from you to the other company.  We may also disclose certain personal information as necessary prior to the completion of such a transaction or corporate transactions such as financings or restructurings, to lenders, auditors, and third-party advisors, including attorneys and consultants, as part of due diligence or as necessary to plan for a transaction.
• Aggregate and Deidentified Information. Notwithstanding anything else in this Notice, we may use, disclose, and otherwise process aggregate and deidentified information related to our offerings with third parties for quality control, analytics, research, development, and other purposes.
• Other Disclosures. We may disclose personal information in other ways not described above, but will notify you and, if necessary, obtain your consent.

5. ​YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS (MINNESOTA + OTHER STATES)

If you are a resident of Minnesota or another state with an applicable consumer privacy law, you may have the following rights, subject to certain exceptions:

1. Right to Confirm and Access (Right to Know). You may request that we confirm whether we process your personal data and obtain access to it.
2. Right to Delete. You may request that we delete personal data we maintain about you, subject to legal and other permitted exceptions.
3. Right to Correct. You may request that we correct inaccuracies in your personal data, taking into account the nature of the data and the purposes of processing.
4. Right to Data Portability. You may request a copy of your personal data in a portable and readily usable format, where technically feasible.
5. Right to Obtain a List of Specific Third Parties (Minnesota). You may request a list of the specific third parties to whom we have disclosed your personal data. If we do not maintain disclosure information by individual, we will provide a list of the specific third parties to whom we have disclosed any consumers’ personal data.
6. Right to Opt Out. You may opt out of processing of your personal data for:
   • Targeted advertising;
   • Sale of personal data (as that term may be defined by applicable law); and/or
   • Profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
7. Right to Withdraw Consent. Where we rely on your consent to process personal data (including sensitive data), you may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

How to Exercise Your Rights. You (or your authorized agent, where permitted) may submit a request by contacting us via the information provided in the Contact Us section below, or using our online request method available via the “Your Privacy Rights” page linked at the bottom of our Site.

Verification. To protect your information, we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding. We will only request information reasonably necessary to verify you and process your request.

Timing. We generally respond within 45 days of receiving a verifiable request. If we need more time, we may extend once for an additional 45 days and will notify you of the reason.

Appeals (Minnesota and Certain States). If we decline to take action on your request, we will explain why and provide instructions to appeal. We will respond to an appeal within 45 days, and where permitted we may extend the appeal response period by up to an additional 60 days when reasonably necessary, with notice.

Non-Discrimination. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

Targeted Advertising / Ad Measurement and Your Opt-Out Rights.

We use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to help our Site function, understand how our Site is used, and measure the effectiveness of our outreach. Some of these technologies are provided by third parties (for example, analytics and advertising measurement providers).

In some cases, these technologies may be used to support targeted advertising (showing ads based on activity over time and across non-affiliated websites or online services), as that term is defined under certain state privacy laws.

Your Choices. You may opt out of targeted advertising (and any “sale” of personal data as defined by applicable law) by using our opt-out method available via the “Your Privacy Rights” page linked on our Site or by contacting us using the methods in this Notice. We also process certain browser-based opt-out signals (such as GPC) where required by law.

Our goal is limited outreach and measurement so we can understand whether our content and communications are helpful.

6. UNIVERSAL OPT-OUT PREFERENCE SIGNALS (E.G., GLOBAL PRIVACY CONTROL)

Some browsers and devices allow you to send an opt-out preference signal (such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC)). Where required by applicable law, we will treat these signals as a request to opt out of targeted advertising (and, where applicable, the sale of personal data) for the browser or device that sends the signal. If you use different browsers or devices, you will need to set the signal on each.

7. DATA PROCESSING LOCATION

Interstate is based in the United States, and we process personal information in the United States. If you access the Site from outside the United States, your information will be processed in the United States.

8. HOW WE SECURE PERSONAL INFORMATION 

We are committed to keeping personal information secure and we have implemented information security policies, rules and technical measures to protect personal data under our control from unauthorized access, improper use or disclosure, unauthorized modification and unlawful destruction or accidental loss. In addition, our personnel and data processors (third parties that process personal data on our behalf) are obliged to respect the confidentiality of the personal information relating to users of our Website and those who purchase our Services.

9. HOW LONG WE KEEP PERSONAL INFORMATION

We will only keep your personal information for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice. We will retain and use your personal information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

If any personal information is only useful for a short period (e.g. for a specific activity, promotion or marketing campaign), we will not retain it for longer than the period for which it is used by us.

We retain sensitive personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described above, including to meet legal and compliance obligations, and then delete or deidentify it consistent with our retention practices.

If you have opted out of receiving marketing communications from us, we will need to retain certain personal information on a suppression list indefinitely so that we know not to send you further marketing communications in the future. However, we will not use this personal information to send you further marketing unless you subsequently opt back in to receive such marketing.

10. CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 13

Our Site is not intended for children under 13 years of age and do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. No one under age 13 may provide any information to or on the Site. If you are under 13, do not use or provide any information on the Site. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us using the information in our “How to Contact Us” section in this Notice.

11. THIRD PARTY LINKS ON OUR SITE

This Notice also does not apply to third-party websites linked on our Site. We have no control over these third-party websites, apps or Services and this Privacy Notice does not apply to your interaction with the relevant third parties.

A note about financing partners: Some pages on our Site describe third-party financing options (for example, Climb Credit) and may include links that take you to a third party’s website or application. If you click those links, you will be providing information directly to the third party and your information will be governed by the third party’s privacy notice and terms (not this Notice). We encourage you to review the third party’s privacy and security practices before submitting an application. We may receive limited information from the financing partner about the status of an application or whether financing was approved (for example, for enrollment and administrative purposes), but we do not receive your full credit application details unless the partner provides them to us.

12. ​CHANGES TO THIS NOTICE

We may update this Notice from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last Updated” date above and post the revised Notice on our Site.

If we make material changes to how we collect, use, or share personal information, we will provide additional notice as required by law. Where required, we will provide you a reasonable opportunity to withdraw consent for any materially different processing of personal information that we previously collected based on your consent.
