I. Information We Collect
healthCAR may collect certain personally information about you in order to provide and improve our Services to you.
Personal Information: “Personal Information” means data about a particular individual or household that identifies, relates to, describes, could be reasonably linked with, or could be used to identify that person or household (or from those and other information either in our possession or likely to come into our possession). It may also include other information that may be associated with your Personal Information, such as Aggregate Information (defined below), if that information can be used to identify you, your household, or your device.
We may collect the following “Personal Information” about you when you use our Services: your name, address, zip code, telephone number, email address, employer information such as your employer’s name and employee ID number, and information about your vehicle or vehicles to be included as part of your coverage plan (such as vehicle year, make, and model). healthCAR may also collect your payment card or other payroll or banking information as part of your enrollment process.
Please note that healthCAR does not process any payment card transactions related to your enrollment in and monthly payments for your Service.

VI. Security of Data
The security of your data is important to us but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, and destruction, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

X. Links to Other Sites
myhealthCAR.com’s Website may include links to other web sites that are not operated by us, such as employer benefit portals. Please note that this Privacy Policy does not apply to those third party websites that may be linked to our Website. This Privacy Policy does not govern the practices of third parties, even when those services are branded as, or provided on behalf of, healthCAR. healthCAR is not responsible for and does not control the security or privacy when you visit those sites. We encourage you to visit and read the privacy notices governing those sites.
XI. Children’s Privacy
All of our Services, including our Website, are intended only for those who are legally able and licensed to drive an automobile, and are not meant to address anyone under the age of 16 (“Children”). As such, myhealthCAR.com does not knowingly collect information of Children under 16 years of age via our Website. Children under 16 may not use our Website or use or enroll in any of our Services. If you are under 16, do not attempt to apply for, register for, enroll in, or use any of our Services, including our Website, and do not provide us any Personal Information about yourself.
If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has violated this Privacy Policy and provided us with Personal Information, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Information from a child without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our servers.
XII. Updates to this Privacy Policy
From time to time, healthCAR may modify this Privacy Policy at any time and in our sole discretion. We will notify you of any material changes to its Privacy Policy by posting those changes on this page and updating the Privacy Policy modification date above. We encourage you periodically to check back to this page for any updates.
XIII. Submitting a Verifiable Request to myhealthCAR.com
As mentioned above, California residents have certain rights to access, delete, or otherwise control the use, collection, and/or disclosure of their information. We will respond to an individual’s “verifiable request” to exercise his or her rights under such laws – that is, where healthCAR has received a request purporting to be from a particular individual, and healthCAR has been able to verify the individual’s identity. The need to verify an individual’s identity is critical to protecting your information, and ensuring that your information is not shared with anyone pretending to be you or someone who is not authorized to act as your agent on your behalf.
You may submit a verifiable request via our email address, mailing address, or toll-free number, listed in the “Contact Us” section below, or as otherwise provided on our Website (if such means are available). healthCAR will ask you to provide information about yourself so that we can verify your identity as part of this process. This information may include your name, your address, your account information, and any other information deemed necessary by healthCAR to reasonably verify your identity, to ensure that your information is not shared with anyone impersonating you.
We may ask for additional information if we have difficulty confirming your identity. We will not share your information or honor other requests in those situations in which we are unable to confirm a request for your information is a “verifiable request.”
Under California law a consumer can appoint an “authorized agent” to make certain verifiable requests upon their behalf, such as the right to know what information we collect about the consumer or to request deletion of the consumer’s information. Because the security and privacy of your information is paramount, we will ask that you identify and provide permission in writing for such persons to act as your authorized agent and exercise your applicable rights under California law in such situations. This may require us to contact you directly and alert you that an individual has claimed to be your agent and is attempting to access or delete your information. We will also independently verify your identity to ensure that an unauthorized person is not attempting to impersonate you and exercise your rights without authorization. We will not share your information or honor any other requests in those situations where you cannot or do not grant permission in writing for an identified authorized agent to act on your behalf, or where we cannot independently verify your identity.
