International transfers

Some service providers and insurers we work with may operate outside Canada. When personal data is transferred internationally, we apply safeguards such as contractual data protection clauses, encrypted transmission, and limited access controls.

Transfers are protected through appropriate agreements with recipients, standard contractual clauses where applicable, and technical measures like encryption and strict access controls to maintain confidentiality.

11

Data retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined or as required by law, then securely delete or anonymize it.

Account information is retained for the duration of the account plus a limited period for backup and legal compliance, typically no longer than required by applicable law.

Communications and support messages are retained to resolve inquiries and for service improvement, generally for a period aligned with customer support needs and regulatory obligations.

System logs and diagnostic data are retained for shorter operational periods to troubleshoot and secure the service, then purged or aggregated for analytics.

You can request deletion of your personal data. We will remove personal data from active systems and take reasonable steps to delete copies, subject to legal retention requirements and transactional needs.

12

Security measures

We apply administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect personal data, including access controls, encryption in transit and at rest, secure development practices, and periodic security reviews. Access to personal data is restricted to authorized personnel who require it to perform their duties.

  • Encryption of data in transit using TLS and encryption at rest where feasible.
  • Role-based access controls, multifactor authentication for administrative access, and principle of least privilege.
  • Regular security assessments, patch management, and monitoring of systems for unusual activity.
13

Your rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data. You may also have rights to data portability and to object to certain processing.

  • Access and correction: request a copy of personal data and ask for inaccuracies to be corrected.
  • Deletion and restriction: request deletion or restriction of processing where permitted, subject to retention obligations and contract performance needs.
  • Right to restriction of processing — you can request that processing of your personal data be limited while a dispute about accuracy or lawfulness is resolved; for example, if you contest a billing record from a quote handled through tryautopulsespot, we can freeze further processing of that specific record while we verify details.
  • Right to data portability — when you request it, we can provide a machine-readable copy of the personal data you supplied for insurance comparisons so you can transfer it to another service provider; a practical scenario is exporting your vehicle and driver profile to share with a consultant.
  • Right to object — you may object to processing based on legitimate interests, such as targeted marketing derived from quote activity; in such cases we will stop that processing unless we have compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
  • Right to withdraw consent — when processing relies on consent (for example, optional email updates), you can withdraw consent at any time and we will cease that specific processing without affecting records processed prior to withdrawal.
  • Right to complain to a supervisory authority — if you are unsatisfied with our handling of your personal data you can file a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or the relevant EU supervisory authority where applicable.
  • Right to be informed — you have the right to clear information about how we collect, use and share your personal data; case example: when you start a quote for auto insurance comparisons on tryautopulsespot we provide a summary of the data used and the insurers who may receive it.
14

EU GDPR (where applicable)

Although tryautopulsespot operates in Canada and primarily follows Canadian privacy law, we recognize GDPR protections for individuals in the European Economic Area. When GDPR applies to processing activities relating to EU residents, we align our practices with relevant provisions on lawful basis, data subject rights and cross-border transfers.

GDPR applies to processing where tryautopulsespot offers services to individuals in the EEA or monitors their behaviour. Example scenario: if an EEA resident requests a vehicle insurance comparison while physically located in Canada, we will treat that request under GDPR standards for data handling, transparency and rights fulfillment.

  • Lawful basis and documentation — we record lawful bases for processing personal data, such as performance of a contract (quote facilitation) or legitimate interests (service improvement).
  • Data subject rights — EEA residents may exercise GDPR rights including access, rectification, erasure and restriction; we provide clear channels for these requests.
  • Data transfers — international transfers of EU personal data are managed with appropriate safeguards, such as contractual clauses or other approved mechanisms when necessary.
  • Breach notification — where GDPR applies, we follow GDPR timelines for notification to supervisory authorities and affected individuals as required by law.

If you believe GDPR applies and you wish to lodge a complaint about data processing by tryautopulsespot, please contact our privacy team first so we can contribute and respond. If unresolved, EEA residents may also file a complaint with their local supervisory authority. Provide specific examples and dates to help our review.

How to exercise your privacy rights

To request access, correction, data portability, restriction, objection or erasure, submit a written request to our privacy team. Include your full name, email address, a description of the record or transaction (for example, a quote reference or date), and a copy of government-issued ID if required to verify identity. We process requests in a secure and documented manner aligned with Canadian privacy practices.

[email protected]

We aim to acknowledge receipt of rights requests within 5 business days and complete response or resolution within 30 calendar days. If a request is complex we will notify you of any necessary extension and the reason for it.

16

Marketing communications

We may send promotional messages about products, special offers or comparison updates based on preferences you set or consent you provide. Marketing communications are tailored to relevant vehicle and driver profiles to reduce irrelevant messages. Example: if you requested van insurance comparisons, we may send offers related to commercial van policies until you opt out.

To stop marketing emails, click the unsubscribe link in any promotional email or contact our support team. We will process unsubscribe requests promptly; transactional messages about your existing quotes or service status will still be sent unless you request otherwise.

17

Children's privacy

tryautopulsespot services are intended for adults seeking auto insurance comparisons. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If we learn information about a child under 16 has been submitted without parental consent, we will take steps to delete it. Example case: if a teen submitted a quote using a parent’s email, we will contact the parent to verify and rectify records.

18

Visiting those sites may involve separate privacy policies and data practices; for instance, clicking a carrier link from tryautopulsespot.click may redirect you to the carrier’s portal where their terms apply.
