8. Automated Decision-Making. As a part of our Services, we may use automated decision-making (ADM) under limited circumstances, namely the use of machine learning (ML) to assist with reviewing insurance applications (for example, to confirm whether you are eligible to receive a certain Service). This assessment is made solely by technological means without human involvement or review.  The ML uses relevant personal data (for example, relating to validation of your identity, your previous claims history, anti-fraud and anti-money laundering checks and assessment of your credit history) and the logic involved is based on and replicates our established workflow and process for such requests. The potential results of this ML component may be that your quote is declined at the initial phase or advanced for further assessment.

9. Additionally, when calculating insurance premiums we may compare your personal data against industry averages. Your personal data may also be used to create the industry averages relied on in the future. This is known as profiling and is used to ensure premiums reflect risk. We use profiling to assess information you provide to understand fraud patterns.

10. Where your application to receive the service does not appear to meet the criteria for eligibility it may be refused and we will inform you if this is the case. You have the right to request that we undertake a human review of any automated decision that has a legal (or equivalent) affect on you (please see “your rights” for more information).  If you have additional questions about your quote results, please refer to the “Contact Information” section below.  

13. Your Rights

1. If you are a resident of the EEA, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom, you have the right to: (a) request to access the personal data we hold about you; (b) request we correct any inaccurate personal data we hold about you; (c) request we delete any personal data we hold about you (although certain aspects may be retained by us to meet our legal or regulatory compliance, obligations, exercise, establish, or defend claims, and to protect against fraudulent or abusive activity relating to our Services); (d) restrict the processing of personal data we hold about you in certain circumstances; (e) object to the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as if we are using your personal data for direct marketing and/or automated decision making (see above), for our or a third party’s legitimate interests or the public’s interest, or for scientific or historical research and statistics; and/or (f) receive any personal data we hold about you in a structured and commonly used machine readable format or have such personal data transmitted to another company. Please note that we may ask you to verify your identity before responding to such requests.

2. If we rely on your consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time, but this will not affect any processing of your personal data that has already taken place nor will it affect processing of your personal data conducted in reliance on a legal basis other than consent.

3. Your exercise of these rights may be subject to certain exemptions, including (but not limited to) to safeguard the public interest (e.g. the prevention or detection of crime); our interests (e.g. the maintenance of legal privilege), or where the rights of other persons may be violated should we meet the request.

4. To exercise any of your rights in connection with your personal data, please contact us privacy@coalitioninc.com or as further set out below under the “Contact Information” section.

5. For access requests regarding your personal information, we may require that you provide sufficient identification to fulfil your access request regarding your personal information, and any such identifying information will be used only for this purpose. Where required by applicable laws, we will not charge you any fees to access your personal information in our records without first providing you with an estimate of the approximate fees, if any, as permitted. 

6. We use reasonable efforts to ensure that your personal information is accurate, complete and up to date as necessary for the purposes for which such information was collected by us. If you successfully demonstrate that the personal information we hold is inaccurate or incomplete, we will amend the personal information as required. When appropriate, we will transmit the amended information to any parties to whom we sent the original information. If you object to how we handle your request, you have the right to make a complaint to the applicable privacy commissioner or regulator.
