- Right to data portability. You may have the right to obtain your personal information in a portable and, to the extent technically feasible, readily usable format that allows you to transmit the data to another entity without hindrance.
- Right to correct. You may have the right to notify us through the methods identified in Section 8 below to correct any mistakes in your personal information. We may not be able to accommodate your request if we believe it would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect; data solely retained for data backup purposes is generally excluded.
- Right to delete. You may have the right to request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions, e.g. fraud protection, compliance with legal obligations.
- Right to limit use and disclosure of sensitive personal information. Arch does not provide the right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information because we only collect sensitive personal information for purposes exempted under the CCPA.
- Right to opt-out of the sharing or selling of information. California residents have the right to opt-out of the sale or sharing of their personal information. We do not sell any personal information of our personnel to third parties, as that term is defined in the CCPA, or for cross-context behavioral advertising – so there is no need to exercise these opt-out rights.
To exercise your rights under the CCPA, please submit your request through the means listed under Section 18. If we receive a request from a California resident to exercise the rights referenced above, Arch will respond within 45 days (which may be extended for up to an additional 45 days in certain circumstances), unless an exception applies.
Before providing any requested information, we must verify your identity. In order to verify your identity, you will need to submit information about yourself, including, to the extent applicable, providing your account login credentials or other account information, answers to security questions, your name, government identification number we already have on file, date of birth, contact information, or other personal identifying information. We will match this information against information we have previously collected about you to verify your identity and your request.
To the extent you maintain an account with us, we will require you to login to that account as part of submitting your request. If we are unable to verify your identity as part of your request, we will not be able to satisfy your request. We are not obligated to collect additional information identity verification, but we may offer you the ability to provide additional information for verification purposes.
If you wish to appoint an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf, you must provide the agent with written, signed, and notarized permission to submit privacy rights on your behalf. The agent must provide this authorization at the time of request. For requests to disclose or delete your personal information, we will also require you to verify your identity directly with us, unless the agent has been provided with valid power of attorney.
To the extent we receive, obtain, or generate information about you in connection with providing a financial service or product to you in your personal capacity within the United States, your rights with respect to that information are generally governed by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”). Those Arch entities that have privacy policies under GLBA are:

However, while we may receive this kind of information, individuals acting in their personal capacity- as opposed to their capacity as a representative of a company—are not our consumer or customer as those terms are defined in the GLBA.
Nonetheless, as required by GLBA, we protect that information to keep it confidential and secure, and we do not share or use this kind of information other than as necessary for the financial product or service. If you have questions about how information about you is collected and used in connection with a financial product or service, please contact your financial institution.
In connection with providing financial services or products, we may also receive or obtain information about your creditworthiness or insurability subject to the “FCRA”. We need to handle and share this personal information to run our everyday business. We may use and share this information:
- For our everyday business purposes — such as to process transactions, maintain accounts, respond to court orders and legal investigations, or report to credit bureaus
You cannot limit the use or sharing of FCRA data for these purposes. Federal law gives you the right to limit only:
- Sharing for affiliates’ everyday business purposes — information about your creditworthiness or insurability.
- Affiliates from using your information to market to you.
- Sharing for non-affiliates to market to you.
We do not share information for these purposes. Should we share information for these purposes in the future, we will notify you beforehand and you will have the right to opt-out.

We implement appropriate and reasonable security and technical and organizational measures against unauthorized or unlawful processing of Personal Data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, Personal Data.
Although we take measures to protect the security of the information communicated through the Website, no Internet-connected computer system can be made absolutely secure from intrusion. We, therefore, cannot and do not guarantee that information communicated by you to us via the Website will be received or that it will not be altered before or after its transmission to us.

We retain your Personal Data only as long as necessary in accordance with our company record retention policy and in line with legal, regulatory, tax or accounting requirements, as well as addressing complaints, legal challenges or potential litigation.
We consider the following criteria when determining how long a particular record will be retained, including any personal information contained in that record:
- How long the record is needed to provide you with the products and services you request.
- How long the record is needed to support and enhance our operational processes.
- How long the record is needed to protect our rights and legal interests.
- How long the record must be retained to comply with applicable laws and regulations.
The same personal information about you may be included in more than one record and used for more than one purpose, each of which may be subject to different retention periods based on the factors listed above.
For example, where you purchase our insurance product, information will be held for the duration of your insurance cover and a period of several years after the end of our relationship. We keep information after our relationship ends in order to comply with applicable laws and regulations and for use in connection any legal claims brought under or in connection with your policy. When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either aim to delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
