10. Service Providers and Accident Recovery Partners

One of the purposes of Accident Aid is to help users connect with accident-related resources.

When appropriate to fulfill your request, and subject to applicable law and consent requirements, information may be disclosed to independent third-party providers or partners.

Depending on what assistance you request, these may include:

  • Attorneys or law firms
  • Medical providers
  • Chiropractors
  • Physical therapists
  • Diagnostic imaging facilities
  • MRI providers
  • Towing companies
  • Auto body shops
  • Vehicle repair facilities
  • Vehicle damage resources
  • Rental vehicle resources
  • Insurance-related resources
  • Technology providers
  • Communication providers
  • Other accident recovery service providers

We seek to limit information disclosed to what is reasonably relevant to the requested service or connection.

Third-party professionals and businesses may have their own privacy practices and legal obligations.

Once information is lawfully provided to an independent third party, that party's processing of your information may also be governed by its own privacy policy.

11. Accident Aid Is Not a Law Firm

Accident Aid is not a law firm.

Submitting information through Accident Aid does not create an attorney-client relationship.

If you request or receive an attorney referral, certain information may be shared with or transmitted to an independent attorney or law firm for purposes of evaluating your request, subject to applicable law and your authorization where required.

Any attorney-client relationship is established separately and directly between you and the attorney or law firm.

12. Accident Aid Is Not a Medical Provider

Accident Aid is not a healthcare provider.

If you request assistance locating medical treatment, chiropractic care, physical therapy, diagnostic imaging, MRI services, or another healthcare resource, information reasonably necessary to facilitate that request may be provided to an appropriate independent provider, subject to applicable law and authorization requirements.

Healthcare providers are independently responsible for their own privacy and medical-record obligations.

13. Communications

If you provide a phone number or email address and request information, a callback, Case Evaluation, or other assistance, we may use the information you provided to respond to that request.

Depending on the consent you provide, communications may include:

  • Telephone calls
  • Text messages
  • Email
  • Voicemail

Where required, additional consent disclosures will be presented before you submit a form.

Consent to receive marketing communications is not a condition of purchasing goods or services where prohibited by applicable law.

Message and data rates may apply.

You may opt out of applicable communications using the instructions provided in those communications or by contacting Accident Aid.

14. When We May Disclose Information

In addition to disclosures necessary to fulfill your requested services, we may disclose information:

To Service Providers

We may use companies that provide services such as:

  • Website hosting
  • Database hosting
  • CRM services
  • Email delivery
  • Telephone systems
  • SMS communications
  • Analytics
  • Advertising measurement
  • Cybersecurity
  • Website development
  • Cloud infrastructure

These providers may process information on our behalf.

For Legal Reasons

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

  • Comply with applicable law
  • Respond to lawful legal process
  • Protect our rights
  • Protect users
  • Prevent fraud
  • Investigate security incidents
  • Enforce our Terms of Service
  • Protect against unlawful activity

Business Transfers

If Accident Aid is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, sale of assets, or similar transaction, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.

15. We Do Not Sell Personal Information for Money

Accident Aid does not sell personal information for monetary payment in the ordinary meaning of the word "sell."

However, certain privacy laws may define "sale," "sharing," or "targeted advertising" broadly enough to include some uses of advertising cookies, pixels, or similar technologies.

Where applicable law provides rights regarding such processing, we will honor those rights as required.

16. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against:

  • Unauthorized access
  • Unauthorized disclosure
  • Loss
  • Misuse
  • Alteration
  • Destruction

However, no Website, database, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

You should therefore exercise appropriate care when submitting information online.

17. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including:

  • Responding to inquiries
  • Providing requested services
  • Maintaining business records
  • Resolving disputes
  • Preventing fraud
  • Supporting legal claims
  • Meeting legal, accounting, or regulatory obligations

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

When personal information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete, de-identify, or anonymize it, subject to applicable law.

18. Children's Privacy

Accident Aid is intended for adults seeking accident-related information or assistance.

Our Website and services are not directed to children under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13.

If we learn that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected inappropriately, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

19. Your Privacy Choices

Depending on applicable law and your relationship with Accident Aid, you may have rights or choices concerning your personal information.

These may include the ability to request:

  • Access to certain personal information
  • Correction of inaccurate information
  • Deletion of certain information
  • Information about how data is used
  • Information about categories of third parties receiving data
  • A copy of certain information
  • Withdrawal of consent where processing is based on consent
  • Opt-out of certain marketing communications
  • Opt-out of certain targeted advertising or sharing where applicable

These rights are subject to applicable exceptions and verification requirements.

20. Oregon Privacy Rights

Because Accident Aid primarily serves individuals in Oregon, we recognize privacy rights that may apply to Oregon residents under applicable Oregon privacy laws, including the Oregon Consumer Privacy Act, where that law applies to Accident Aid and the relevant processing activity.

Subject to applicable law, exemptions, and verification requirements, eligible Oregon consumers may have rights to:

  • Confirm whether we are processing their personal data
  • Access personal data we maintain about them
  • Obtain a copy of certain personal data
  • Correct inaccuracies in personal data
  • Request deletion of certain personal data
  • Obtain information regarding certain third parties to whom personal data has been disclosed where required by Oregon law
  • Opt out of certain targeted advertising
  • Opt out of certain sales of personal data, as those terms are defined by applicable law
  • Opt out of certain profiling in furtherance of decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects, where applicable
  • Revoke consent for certain processing where applicable

We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising applicable privacy rights.

Not every right applies in every circumstance, and certain information or processing may be exempt from Oregon privacy law.

21. Sensitive Data

Some information voluntarily submitted through an accident evaluation may be considered sensitive or subject to additional protections under applicable law.

For example, users may voluntarily provide information concerning injuries or medical treatment when requesting accident assistance.

Where applicable law requires consent or another specific basis before processing sensitive data, Accident Aid will seek to comply with those requirements.

We encourage users to provide only the information reasonably necessary for us to evaluate and respond to their request.

22. Exercising Oregon Privacy Rights

If you are an eligible Oregon resident and wish to exercise an applicable privacy right, you may contact Accident Aid using the information at the bottom of this Privacy Policy.

Your request should clearly state that it is a:

"Oregon Privacy Rights Request."

Please describe the right you wish to exercise and provide sufficient information for us to reasonably verify the request.

We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.

We will respond within the period required by applicable law.

If applicable Oregon law provides a right to appeal our decision regarding a privacy request, instructions for submitting an appeal will be included in our response.

23. Other U.S. State Privacy Rights

Residents of other U.S. states may have additional privacy rights under their applicable state laws.

Where such laws apply to Accident Aid, we will process eligible privacy requests in accordance with applicable requirements.

Rights may include access, correction, deletion, portability, and opt-out rights relating to certain sales, sharing, targeted advertising, or profiling.

24. Do Not Track and Privacy Signals

Some browsers provide "Do Not Track" settings.

Because there is not a single universally accepted standard for responding to all Do Not Track signals, our Website may not respond to traditional browser DNT signals.

Where applicable law requires recognition of a legally valid universal opt-out preference signal, we will seek to process such signals as required.

25. Third-Party Websites

Our Website may contain links to websites operated by:

  • Attorneys
  • Medical providers
  • Body shops
  • Towing companies
  • Insurance resources
  • Other third parties

Accident Aid does not control the privacy practices of independent third-party websites.

Once you leave accidentaid.org, you should review the privacy policy of the website or service you visit.

This Privacy Policy applies only to information processed by or on behalf of Accident Aid.

26. Business Transfers

If Accident Aid undergoes a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, sale of assets, bankruptcy, or other business transaction, information may be transferred as part of that transaction where permitted by law.

Any successor organization may continue processing information in accordance with applicable privacy obligations.

27. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in:

  • Our Website
  • Our services
  • Technology
  • Business operations
  • Privacy practices
  • Applicable laws or regulations

When this Privacy Policy is updated, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
