Copic is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains how Copic may collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when providing insurance and related services to you through our Website and products (our “Services”) and our practices for using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.

How We Protect Your Information
We use commercially reasonable administrative, physical, and technical measures designed to protect your personal data from accidental loss or destruction and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. However, no electronic transmission is completely secure, and you should carefully decide what information you send to us via electronic communication channels. Do not include protected health information when you report an incident through the Website.
How We Retain Your Information
We keep your information described in this Policy for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described or for as otherwise legally permitted or required, such as maintaining the Services, operating our Company, complying with our legal obligations, resolving disputes, and for safety, security, and fraud prevention. This means that we consider our legal and business obligations, tax and audit obligations, potential risks of harm, and nature of the information when deciding how long to retain personal data.
Minors’ Data
Our Website and Services are not for children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we learn we have collected or received personal data from a child under 18 years old without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information.
Links to Other Sites
Our Website may link to third-party sites for your convenience. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of those sites. Please review their privacy policies before submitting information or using other websites.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted with the new “last updated” date. Please check back regularly. Continuing to use our Services means you accept the revised Policy.
Business Associate Agreements and Protected Health Information
If we handle your protected health information (PHI) for insurance, risk management, or other Services, we comply with applicable state and federal health privacy laws and regulations, including HIPAA. We enter into Business Associate Agreements where appropriate, including with policyholders, to safeguard your PHI. Do not include protected health information when you report an incident through the Website.
California Residents:
The California Consumer Privacy Act and the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA) grant California residents with additional rights regarding your personal information as follows:
- Right to Know: You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information, including the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you and whether such information was sold or disclosed, since January 1, 2022. You may exercise your right to know twice in any 12-month period.
- Right to Delete and Right to Correct: You have the right to request that we delete any of your information, subject to certain exceptions and limitations. You also have the right to request correction of personal information we maintain about you that you believe is inaccurate.
- Right to Limit Sensitive Personal Information Use and Disclosure: You have a right to ask businesses that use or disclose your sensitive personal information to limit those actions to the CCPA/CPRA permitted purposes. We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information beyond the CCPA/CPRA's purposes, so we do not currently provide this consumer right.
- Right to Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights: You have the right to opt-out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. As we do not sell or share personal data, we do not currently provide these consumer rights.
- ADMT Rights: When a business uses automated decision-making technology (ADMT) to make significant decisions about you, you may have rights to that information and to opt-out. We do not currently use ADMT to make significant decisions about consumers, so we do not provide ADMT access, opt-out, or appeal rights.
- Right to Non-Discrimination: You have the right not to be discriminated or retaliated against for exercising any of your privacy rights under the CCPA/CPRA.
To exercise your rights described above, please submit a verifiable request to us by any of the means set forth below. Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request related to your personal information. We may request specific information from you or your authorized representative to confirm your or their identity before we can process your request. Most of the information we collect is governed by the GLBA and/or HIPAA, and therefore the rights permitted under the CCPA/CPRA are inapplicable to such information. Copic does not sell or share your information for cross context behavioral advertising.
