REVISED: 17 November 2022

Novo Insurance, Inc., its affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company", "Novo Insurance", "we" or "us") are a wholly owned subsidiary of Telenav, Inc. (“Telenav”). We own, operate, and provide the website located at https://www.novo.us and any parent or child site (the "Site") and the Novo Insurance mobile application (the "Mobile Application"). We refer herein to the Site and Mobile Application collectively as the "Novo Insurance Platform."

At Novo Insurance we are dedicated to protecting your privacy. We understand that you value your privacy, and that you may have questions about how we use the data collected through our Novo Insurance Platform. This Privacy Notice applies to information we obtain about you in the course of providing access to and use of the Novo Insurance Platform.

By using or accessing the Novo Insurance Platform, you (a) accept how we may collect, use, disclose and otherwise handle your information, as we specifically describe in this Privacy Notice, and (b) represent and warrant that you have the right, authority, and capacity to accept these conditions. By using or accessing the Novo Insurance Platform, you also accept the Terms of Use. You may not access or use the Novo Insurance Platform if you have not reached the age of majority in your state of residence. Specifically, if you are under the age 13, do not access or use the Novo Insurance Platform and do not enter any personally identifiable information about you or anyone under the age of 13 into the Novo Insurance Platform. If you do not agree with all of the conditions of this Privacy Notice or Terms of Use, do not access and/or use the Novo Insurance Platform. If you are accepting on behalf of a company or other third party, you represent and warrant that you have full authority to act for and to bind that company or other party, in which case the term "you" refers to that company or other party.

01.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

In connection with the provision of the Novo Insurance Platform, we obtain information about you, such as your name, phone number, address, email address, vehicle information (like vehicle identification number, vehicle license plate), driver's license number, date of birth, Social Security number, marital status, family member information, gender, credit card data and other payment information, policy coverages, insurance policy ID, driving records, claim histories, credit information, credit history, employment history, hobbies, general reputation, education, occupation and payment history. We may also collect data through other sources, such as technology built into or added to your vehicle or a mobile app. Such technology may be supplied by us or another party (collectively, “Third Party Sources”).

We obtain information about you and others when (a) you apply for insurance, (b) you or other users use or access the Novo Insurance Platform, (c) we obtain information from public records, and (d) third parties provide information or services to us to support our provision of the Novo Insurance Platform. 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.

If you “opt-in” for the collection of telematics information for driver scoring, we obtain additional information about you and your driving patterns as more fully described in the Telematics Policy. Please note that we work with a 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.

Through the Novo Insurance Platform, we and our third-party marketing partners may also obtain other information relating to you, such as your operating system, your phone carrier, hardware you use, pages you viewed, your IP address, how often you use the Novo Insurance Platform, events that occur within the Novo Insurance Platform during your use, aggregated-usage information, performance data, the site and location from where you downloaded or otherwise accessed the Novo Insurance Platform, your browser type, your Internet service provider, the referring and exit pages, installed fonts, device IDs, language and time zone settings, and other information relating to your use of or access to the Novo Insurance Platform. We and our third-party marketing partners may also use in the Novo Insurance Platform web beacons, clear gifs, pixel tags, local shared objects, and similar technologies to collect information relating to your use of or access to products and services offered through the Novo Insurance Platform. In addition, the Novo Insurance Platform uses remarketing services to advertise on third party websites to previous visitors of the Novo Insurance Platform. For example, we may direct advertising (in the form of an advertisement on a search results page or other website) to a user who previously visited the Novo Insurance Platform, but didn’t complete a task on our site, such as partially completing a contact form. The use of these remarketing services enables Novo to tailor offers to and communicate about our services with individuals who have shown interest in our products. Additionally, third party vendors may use cookies to serve advertisements based on an individual’s past visit to our website.

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.

02.
