Because we operate as part of a global business, the recipients referred to above may be located outside the jurisdiction in which you are located (or in which we provide the Services). See the section on “International Data Transfer” below for more information.

When required by applicable law, when we share personal information with corporate third parties we will ensure that such third parties maintain a comparable level of protection of the personal information as set out in this privacy notice by using contractual or other means.

When required by applicable law, data transfers will be logged and documented, identifying the recipient of the data, the purpose of the transmission, and the type of data that was transmitted. Where required by law to do so, we can on request confirm the name of each third party that personal information is, or will be, transferred to.

Information Security And Storage

We implement technical, organizational, administrative and physical measures to help ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk to the personal information we collect, use, disclose and process. These measures are aimed at ensuring the on-going integrity and confidentiality of personal information. We evaluate these measures on a regular basis to help ensure the security of the processing. However, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure, and although we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of information as it is transmitted to our websites or apps. As such, any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use appropriate procedures and security features to help prevent unauthorized access.

We limit internal access to our servers and have physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards in place to guard all personal information that we receive from visitors to our websites and apps. At Pronto, we adhere to high standards of ethics and integrity in performing our jobs and conducting business. However, it should be noted that there are some things, such as viruses and hacker attacks, which Pronto cannot control.

Please note that the information we collect from you may be processed, transferred, and/or stored outside of your country of residence. Such location may not be deemed to have the same level of privacy protections as your country of residence; however, Pronto will take all steps reasonably necessary to help ensure that your personal information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. By submitting your personal information, you agree to this processing, transfer, usage, and/or storage outside of your country of residence.

Pronto disposes of Personal Information in a secure manner by destroying or permanently erasing electronic data, and by disposing of hard copy data via burning, pulverizing, or utilizing shredding methods designed to ensure that Personal Information cannot be read or reconstructed.

We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Secure communications

Live chat sessions on our site are encrypted to encode information that you share with our operators. By contrast, be aware that email messages sent in clear text over the public internet can be observed by an unintended third party. Non-encrypted Internet e-mail communications may be accessed and viewed by other internet users without your knowledge and permission while in transit to us. If you wish to keep your information private, please do not use electronic mail to communicate information to us or request information from us that you consider to be confidential and/or proprietary. If you wish, you may contact us instead via telephone at the phone number provided elsewhere in this website.

Third-party vendors

For certain services on our website, such as live chat or webcasts, we will ask for information about you such as your name, business, and email address. In cases where we use a third-party vendor to provide online services, the vendor has agreed to keep your information confidential. For example, transcripts of live chat sessions may be archived in a database by our vendor for review by our operators.

Links To Other Sites

We may provide links to other websites not owned or controlled by us that we think might be useful or of interest to you. We are not, however, responsible for the privacy practices used by other website owners or the content or accuracy contained on those other websites. Links to other websites do not constitute or imply endorsement by us of those web sites, any products or services described on those websites or any other material contained in them. We advise that you contact any third party websites directly for their individual privacy policies.

We may transfer certain personal information across geographical borders to our affiliates, subsidiaries, our parent, Risk Placement Services, Inc. (“RPS”), RPS’s parent company, Arthur J.

Your continued access or use of this website shall be deemed your acceptance of all terms and conditions contained in this Privacy Policy.

Your California Privacy Rights

The provisions in this section relate solely to residents of the State of California. We included this section to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) and any terms defined in the CCPA have the same meaning when used in this section.

Applicability of the CCPA -- Pronto As A Service Provider
Pronto is in the business of assisting individuals and companies and insurance carriers with providing insurance related solutions. In our role as an insurance broker or agent, we act as a service provider on behalf of our clients and insurance carriers. To this end, if not stated otherwise in this section or in a separate disclosure, we process your CCPA Covered Personal Information in the role of a service provider (as defined by the CCPA) on behalf of a customer (and/or its affiliates) or an insurance carrier who is the responsible business (as defined by the CCPA) for your CCPA Covered Personal Information. When acting as a service provider, we will only collect, use, and otherwise process your CCPA Covered Personal Information as directed by our customers and as otherwise permitted by the CCPA and applicable law. If your data has been submitted to us by or on behalf of our customer and you wish to exercise any CCPA consumer rights you may have under applicable data protection laws, please direct your requests to exercise any rights to the applicable customer directly. If you submit your request directly to us, consistent with the CCPA, we will inform you that you should submit the request directly to the business on whose behalf we process the information; where feasible, we will provide you with contact information for that business.

We are not responsible for and have no control over the privacy and data security practices of our customers, which may differ from those set forth in this Privacy Policy. For detailed privacy information related to our collection and use of your data on behalf of a customer who uses our products and services, please contact the respective customer directly.

Your CCPA Consumer Rights
Effective January 1, 2020, the CCPA obligates businesses that collect consumer information (as that term is defined in the CCPA) to fulfill the following rights of California residents who submit a verifiable consumer request. As stated above, where we act as a CCPA service provider and receive a response directly from you, we will direct you to submit your request to the customer or carrier on whose behalf we process your information.

Sales Opt Out and Opt In
The CCPA gives consumers the right to opt out and opt in to the sales of their personal information. Pronto does not sell consumer personal information.

Right to Non-Discrimination
The CCPA prohibits businesses from discriminating against consumers because they exercised any of the consumers’ rights under the CCPA. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA consumer’s rights.

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights
As stated above, we function as a CCPA service provider with respect to our corporate clients and insurance carriers that function as CCPA businesses. Where we act as a service provider and your data has been submitted to us by or on behalf of our corporate client or insurance carrier, we will not be able to substantively address your request to exercise consumer’s rights, and we will ask you to submit your request directly to the relevant business.

Other California Privacy Rights
California’s “Shine the Light” law permits our website and app visitors who are California residents to request and obtain from us once a year, free of charge, certain information about Personal Information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes. If applicable, this information would include a list of the categories of Personal Information that was shared and the names and addresses of all third parties with which we shared information in the immediately preceding calendar year. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please send us an email or deliver the request via postal mail using the contact detail found in the Contact Us section below.
