Global Data Protection and Privacy Notice

1. INTRODUCTION

Scope

This Data Protection and Privacy Notice (this “Notice”) sets out how Safety Holdings, Inc., American Driving Records, Inc., Instructional Technologies, Inc., Collision Management Systems Limited, and Samba Holdings Canada Inc. (collectively, “we”, “our”, or “us”) collect, handle, share and use, and otherwise process the personal data, personal information, or personally identifiable information (collectively, “personal data”) of individual data subjects (collectively, “you”) in the circumstances described below. Capitalized terms are defined in the chart of Definitions at Schedule 1, below.

Depending on where you are resident, we may be required to process your personal data in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation, the UK General Data Protection Regulation, the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection, and related data protection and e-privacy laws in Europe (such laws, collectively, the "GDPR") or relevant U.S. state laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CPRA”) (together with the GDPR, collectively referred to as “Data Protection Laws”).

When We Act as a Controller

This Notice applies only when we act as a controller in the processing of personal data of individuals:

  • who visit or interact with publicly available sections of our Website (“Website Visitors”);

  • who are Personnel at our Business Partners, Service Providers, or Professional Advisors (collectively, “Business Data Subjects”); or

  • who receive electronic or postal marketing communications from us (such as if you are Personnel at a potential Customer) (“Prospective Customers”).

If you are one of our Business Partners, Service Providers, Professional Advisors, or Customers, please provide this Notice to your Personnel who have dealings with us.

When We Act as a Data Processor

As noted above, for purposes of this Notice, we only process your personal data as a controller only when you are a Website Visitor, Business Data Subject, or Prospective Customer. In all other circumstances, we act as a data processor when processing personal data and this Notice does not apply to those processing activities. Instead, in those cases, we will process the personal data in accordance with the terms of the contract we have in place with the relevant controller. For example, we process personal data as a data processor when we provide driver risk management services to our Customers, and when we process Telematics Data and personal data of data subjects who visit or interact with:

  • sections of our Website available only to our Customers; and/or

  • our mobile applications, including our mobile applications available on Android and iOS platforms.

If you wish to obtain information about how your personal data is processed when we are acting as a data processor, please refer to the privacy notice of the applicable data controller (for example, the privacy notice of your employer or the privacy notice of the Customer with whom you have the direct relationship). More information is set out below in section 10 for data subjects based on their jurisdiction of residence.

We also act as a controller when we process personal data of job applicants and related persons, but that processing is not subject to this Notice. Rather, job-applicant related processing is subject to a separate data protection and privacy notice available upon request.

Personal Data Collected.

For more information about the personal data we collect, please refer to “Personal Data We Collect.”

  • Identifiers: We may collect identifiers such as a name, address, unique personal identifiers, email, phone number, your device’s IP address, software, and identification numbers associated with your devices and other similar identifiers.

  • Commercial information: We may collect commercial information such as records of products or services purchased, obtained, or considered by you.

  • Inferences: We may collect information about your preferences, characteristics, behavior, and attitudes.

  • Sensitive Personal data: We may collect this information the extent you provide it to us with Voluntarily Provided Personal Data. We do not sell or share (as such terms are defined by the CCPA) this information.

We collect the above information for the purposes described in the full Notice above as well as any other purposes separately notified to you. Further, we share the personal data described above with the parties identified in the “Sharing of Personal Data” section of this Notice.

Your California Privacy Rights

California residents have the following rights. Certain rights are not absolute, such as your right to know and right to deletion, and are subject to certain exceptions. For instance, we cannot disclose specific pieces of personal data if the disclosure would create a substantial, articulable, and unreasonable risk to the security of the personal data, your account with us, or the security of the business’s systems of networks.

  • Right to Know. You have the right to know what personal data about you we have collected, used, disclosed, sold, and shared, if applicable, during the preceding 12 months. You have the right to request in writing from us a copy of the categories of personal data we have collected about you, the categories of sources from which we collected that information, why we collected information about you, and the business or commercial purpose for selling, sharing, or disclosing your personal data (if applicable), the categories of third parties with whom we disclosed, sold, or shared your personal data, and the categories of personal data that we disclosed, sold, or shared about you for a business purpose. We are only required to respond twice per calendar year to your right-to-know requests.

  • Right to Deletion. You have the right to request that we delete any personal data we have collected from you or maintain about you. We honor such requests unless an exception applies, such as when the information is necessary to complete the transaction or contract for which it was collected or when information is being used to detect, prevent, or investigate security incidents, comply with laws or legal obligation, identify and repair bugs, or ensure another consumer’s ability to exercise their free speech rights or other rights provided by law.

  • Right to Opt-Out of the Sale of Your Personal Data. If a business sells your personal data, you have the right to opt-out. We will not sell any of your personal data unless we first notify you separately in writing. You may opt out of the sale of your personal data by utilizing the “do not sell or share my personal data” banner on our website.

  • Right to Information on Personal Data Sharing. You may have the right to request information from us regarding whether we share certain categories of your personal data with third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes, including the categories of information we disclosed to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes during the preceding calendar year; the names and addresses of third parties that received such information, or if the nature of their business cannot be determined from the name, then examples of the products or services marketed. To the extent we participate in such sharing, you are entitled to receive a copy of this information in a standardized format and the information will not be specific to you individually.

  • Right to Opt-Out of the Sharing of Your Personal Data. You have the right to opt out of a business sharing your personal data with third parties. We may engage in “sharing” under the CCPA, which is broadly defined as disclosing personal data for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising, including instances where companies target advertising based on personal data obtained from a consumer’s activity across distinctly branded websites or services. We share information as outlined in the “Our Disclosure of Personal Data” section of this Notice. You may opt out of the “sharing” of your personal data by utilizing the “do not sell or share my personal data” banner on our website.

  • Right to Correct Inaccurate Personal Data. You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate personal data. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct your personal data as directed by you, or provide you with instructions on how you can correct your information. In some instances, you may be able to correct your information via your Services account.

  • Right to Non-Discrimination. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights. Specifically, we will not deny you services, charge you different prices or rates for services, or provide you a different level or quality of services, because you elected to exercise your rights.

  • Right to Limit the Use of Sensitive Personal Data. The CCPA allows you to limit certain uses and disclosures of your sensitive personal data to certain purposes specified by law (e.g., providing you with services you request or preventing fraud, or for other purposes that don’t involve deriving your attributes). Because of our limited use of your sensitive personal data, we are not required to offer you this opt-out right.

You may exercise your rights as outlined under “How to Contact Us” at section 12 below.
