Last Updated: September 2023

Your privacy is important to Insurance Auto Auctions, Inc. ("IAA," "we," or, "us").

Throughout this Privacy Notice, our websites and apps may be jointly referred to as our "Sites."

In this Privacy Notice, "personal information" generally means information that identifies you or makes you identifiable, and will have the meaning throughout as defined under the applicable law. Information that has been anonymized so that it does not identify a specific individual is not "personal information."

If you are located outside the U.S., your personal data will be transferred to servers in the U.S. The data protection laws of the U.S. may not be as comprehensive as the laws of your country. For example, personal data transferred to the U.S. may be subject to lawful access requests by federal and state authorities in the U.S. IAA may transfer your personal information to other countries such as India, Jamaica and the Philippines for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. In order to provide adequate protection of your personal information, we have in place contractual arrangements (where appropriate) which cover these transfers and we will take all reasonable measures to safeguard your information whenever it is transferred.

DATA PRIVACY FRAMEWORK

IAA complies with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles (“EU-U.S. DPF”) and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles (“Swiss-U.S. DPF”) as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of non-human resources personal data (as defined below) that is transferred from the European Union (“EU”), the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the United Kingdom (“UK”) and Switzerland to the United States within the scope of its certification. IAA has certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that it adheres to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles (“EU-U.S. DPF Principles”) with regard to the processing of personal data received from the European Union and the United Kingdom in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF. IAA has certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that it adheres to the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles (“Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles”) with regard to the processing of personal data received from Switzerland in reliance on the Swiss-U.S. DPF. If there is any conflict between the terms in this privacy policy and the EU-U.S. DPF Principles and/or the Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles, the Principles shall govern. To learn more about the Data Privacy Framework (“DPF”) program, and to view our certification, please visit the DPF site here.

Individuals may contact us to correct, amend or delete such personal data if it is inaccurate or has been processed in violation of the EU-U.S. DPF Principles and Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles (except when the burden or expense of providing access, correction, amendment, or deletion would be disproportionate to the risks to the individual’s privacy, or where the rights of persons other than the individual would be violated). Notwithstanding the foregoing, IAA may limit or deny access to personal data to the extent that provided under EU, UK and/or Swiss data protection laws.

Notice of Disclosures of Personal Data for a Business Purpose. In the preceding 12 months, we disclosed certain personal data from the following categories of personal information to the categories of recipients listed in the Section entitled THIRD-PARTY RECIPIENTS OF PERSONAL DATA of our Privacy Notice, such as our service providers, for one or more business purposes as described in that Section above.

We disclose the above categories of personal data to service providers to fulfill the business purposes, such as:

  • Maintaining and servicing your account;
  • Providing you customer service;
  • Processing transactions;
  • Processing applications and payments;
  • Verifying the identity of users;
  • Detecting and preventing fraud;
  • Providing loyalty and promotional programs;
  • Providing marketing and advertising services;
  • Providing analytics services; and
  • Undertaking internal research to develop our services.

Please note that when we disclose personal data for a business purpose to a third party, we enter a contract that describes the purpose and requires the recipient to both keep that personal data confidential and not use it for any purpose except performing the contract.

Do Not Track. California law requires us to let you know how we respond to web browser Do Not Track (DNT) signals. Because there currently is no industry or legal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we do not respond to them at this time. We await the result of work by the privacy community and industry to determine when such a response is appropriate and what form it should take.

Third Party Marketing. If you are a California resident, California Civil Code Section 1789.83 permits you to request (once per calendar year) information regarding the disclosure of your personal data (if any) to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. If applicable, this information would include a list of the categories of personal data shared and the names and addresses of any third parties with whom such personal data was shared in the immediately preceding calendar year. To make such a request pursuant to Shine the Light, contact us via email at Privacy@iaai.com or by telephone at 877-806-4827.
