We encourage you to stay informed of our privacy practices by visiting this area of our Website frequently. Your continued use of our Website after we make any changes means that you consent to those changes.
Our Website may include links to other websites that we do not maintain and whose privacy practices may differ from ours. This Privacy Statement applies only to MOTER’s processing activities and does not apply to the processing activities associated with any other websites. Once you click on a link to another website, you are no longer using our Website and this Statement does not apply to how the operator of the other website may collect, use and disclose your information.
We collect information from and about you for the purposes described in this Statement. Some of the information we collect may identify you and may not be publicly available. We may collect information directly from you or from others.

If you provide us with information regarding another individual, we will assume that you have that person’s consent to give us his or her information.
Job applicants may also provide us information as part of their employment application that includes such things as the applicant’s name, email, social media profile, resume, and cover letter. We do not use this information for any purpose other than to evaluate the individual for employment with us.
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- Establishing and maintaining communications with you on various topics, such as information about your account, product and service updates, and new product and service offerings.

We may also use or share your information in an anonymized or aggregate manner for many purposes such as research, analysis, modeling, marketing, and advertising, as well as improvement of our Website, products or services.
In addition, if you have agreed through our affiliated companies to allow your vehicle driving data to be evaluated for insurance purposes or have applied for or obtained usage-based insurance, affiliates of MOTER may collect and analyze information from your vehicle, such as geo-location and driving behavior data (Vehicle Driving Data). Such information may be shared with insurance companies to quote, underwrite, or rate your policy, but only with your permission.
At your request, we may disclose your information to insurance companies in order to obtain an insurance quote, policy or other service.
We may also share your information as permitted by law, including, for example, with:

- Those individuals or organizations that we believe need the information to perform a business, professional, or insurance function for us (examples include payment processors, claims administrators, data analysts, and other service providers).
- Financial institutions or insurance companies with which we jointly-market financial products or services, including insurance.
- Consumer reporting agencies.
- Entities with which we are involved in a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, including situations of insolvency, bankruptcy or receivership.
- Other entities as may be required by law (for example, to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process, when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, to protect the safety of you, others, or us, to investigate, or to respond to a government or law enforcement request).
Where appropriate, we will limit sharing of your information in accordance with the choices you have provided us and applicable law.

Consumer Report Information
You can opt out of us sharing your consumer report information with our affiliates for their own marketing purposes. To exercise this right, you may contact us at info@moter.ai or at the Contact Information below.
When you visit our website, open an email that we send you, or interact with us on social media platforms (e.g., Facebook), we may also automatically collect information about you by automated means. In some instances, we may also allow third party advertisers and service providers to collect information about you through automated means. Some of the technologies behind this automated collection include:
- Cookies: Cookies are small text files that websites send to your computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify your browser or to store information or settings in your browser. Your browser may tell you how to be notified when you receive certain types of cookies and how to restrict or disable certain cookies. Some cookies may exist for only a single session and some are persistent for multiple sessions over time. We may use cookies that are managed by MOTER or by third parties (such as social media website cookies) for the purposes explained in this Privacy Statement, including for session management, authentication, user preference storage, Website performance and personalization, Website analytics, advertising (including affiliate marketing), content management, eCommerce, search, security, and social media integration.
- Web server logs: In conjunction with obtaining information through cookies, our web servers may log your IP address and related details regarding your device, operating system, or information about your Website usage, such as when you accessed our Website and the pages you visited.
- Web beacons, pixels, and analytics software: To control which web servers collect information described above, we may place tags on our Website or in our emails called “web beacons” or “pixels.” These are computer instructions that link web pages to particular web servers and their cookies and help us to better understand our Website traffic. Web beacons and pixels can be used to track the pages you view, links that you click, or other online behavior. These tools may also be used to increase and measure the effectiveness of our online and email marketing campaigns (such as by identifying the individuals who open or act upon an email message), allowing us to target individuals who may be most interested in our advertising (such as the “Facebook Pixel”). These tools also help us to understand when an email message is opened, how many times it is forwarded, and whether any hyperlink within it is clicked, as well as the type of software, device, operating system and browser used to deliver an email to us. Such tools are also used in connection with online advertisements on our Website and on third party websites to collect the same types of information with respect to individuals who click on advertisements.
- Other: We may use other technology to collect information for the purposes described in this Privacy Statement.
Such technologies may permit collection of data elements such as demographic data, browser type, MAC address and other unique device information, operating system type and settings, domain, the address of the web page that linked you to our Website, IP address, pages visited, whether you have visited us before or are new to our Website, activities conducted on a particular webpage (such as search queries), and the day and time of your visit. If you access our website from a mobile device, we may collect your precise location using GPS, cell tower, Bluetooth, or WiFi signals. This information may be correlated to other data that identifies you specifically.
At this time, we do not honor “do not track” signals from any website browsers because there is not yet a common agreement about how to interpret these signals.
While most web browsers offer settings that will allow you to disable or delete cookies, if you do so, you may not be able to use our Website fully. If you make this change after you have visited our website, you may also have to manually delete existing cookies from your computer or other device. Should you choose to delete or disable our cookies, other technologies such as web beacons will still detect your visits to our Websites, but the information they generate will not be associated to you.
Our Website may also contain embedded plugs-ins, widgets, pixels, or other programming associated with various external social media platforms. When you encounter those embedded objects, your web browser may establish a direct connection to the social media platform’s services and in doing so, share information such as your behavior while browsing our Website, your public profile, and content you may have posted publicly. This Policy does not apply to the privacy practices of external social media platforms.
We also participate in interest-based or behavioral advertising. This means that you may receive advertising on our website or other websites that are tailored to how you browse. Learn more about such advertising, including how to opt-out, at https://www.aboutads.info/
We take reasonable steps to secure your information from unauthorized use, disclosure, alteration and destruction. This includes restricting access to information to our employees and others who we believe must use it to deliver our products or services to you. Since email cannot be secured completely against unauthorized interception, we ask that you please not use email to send us any NPI or other nonpublic, confidential information.
We do not knowingly collect or request information from any person under the age of thirteen (13). If you are under the age of thirteen (13), you are not permitted to use our Website and should not submit any information to us. If you believe that a person under the age of thirteen (13) has provided us with his or her Personal Data, please let us know by contacting us at info@moter.ai or at the Contact Information below and we will take all reasonable steps to delete their information immediately or as required by applicable law.
If you have any questions, concerns or complaints about the manner in which we collect, store, use or disclose your information, please contact us at info@moter.ai or by mail at:
