What Personal Information Does Carpe Data Disclose or Sell to Others?

Sale of Personal Information

Carpe Data’s services involve the sale of information, including personal information, to its clients in response to a client request. Carpe Data’s clients are insurance companies who request information from Carpe Data in order to underwrite commercial insurance policies and to investigate insurance claims. Upon receipt of a client request, Carpe Data uses the information provided to us by our client in order to search for relevant information about the business or individual inquired upon. Carpe Data will search for such information on Internet websites (including social media sites). Carpe Data will also request relevant information from its third party data sources. The searches that Carpe Data conducts may involve the disclosure of personal information to the entities with whom we conduct the search.

Once Carpe Data collects and compiles the information responsive to a client’s request, Carpe Data returns the information to the requesting client and the client pays for the information returned. In addition, Carpe Data may generate scores (or inferences) about individual consumers. These scores are derived from publicly available website data and other third party data and are indicative of a claimant’s eligibility for fast-tracked claims processing.

Carpe Data does not otherwise sell personal information.

Disclosure of Personal Information

Carpe Data may also disclose personal information as necessary or appropriate in connection with any of the purposes for which we use personal information as described above in “How Do We Use the Personal Information We Collect”. For instance, Carpe Data discloses personal information to third party service providers that help host or support our Site, to house our databases, analyze website traffic or otherwise provide technical assistance, to court researchers, third party data sources and other service vendors. Carpe Data transfers to these service providers only the personal information they need to fulfill the service requested by Carpe Data. Carpe Data prohibits its service providers from using that information for any other purpose. Carpe Data requires that these parties maintain commercially reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality of personal information.

Carpe Data may also disclose personal information for any of the following purposes: (i) to investigate, prevent or take action regarding actual or suspected illegal activities or fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, or violations of Carpe Data’s online “Terms”; (ii) to respond to or defend against subpoenas, court orders, or other legal process; (iii) to establish or exercise Carpe Data’s legal rights; or (iv) to otherwise comply with applicable law.

Over time, Carpe Data may acquire other businesses, and other businesses may acquire Carpe Data. If that occurs, the information Carpe Data collects may be one of the assets examined or transferred as part of the transaction. Carpe Data will not permit another business to examine the information Carpe Data has collected without a confidentiality agreement and only to the extent permitted by law. Carpe Data will not transfer the information it has collected unless the recipient agrees to provide privacy protections equal to or exceeding those established by this Privacy Policy.
