At Chaiz Inc. ("Chaiz," "us," "we," or "our"), we take the privacy of your personal information seriously. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you visit or use our website at www.chaiz.com and all related digital services (collectively, the "Website").
Our Website provides a marketplace for you to search, compare, and purchase vehicle protection Products (hereafter “Services”). “Products” including Vehicle Service Contracts ("VSCs") and other coverage products we may offer from time to time. VSCs are not "auto warranties" as defined under federal law, but do provide coverage for certain vehicle repairs or services.
Product purchases through our Website are not available in all states. Our Website may also display offerings from third-party partners. See "Third-Party Links and Services" below for details.
We collect only the personal information that is adequate, relevant, and reasonably necessary to provide our Services and fulfill the purposes described in this policy. The types of personal information we collect depend on how you interact with us.
When you use our Website, you may provide us with:
We may receive your personal information from third-party partners, agents, or representatives through several channels:
When you visit our Website, we automatically collect certain technical and usage information, including:
For details on cookies and tracking technologies we use, see "Cookies and Tracking Technologies" below.
We do not collect your age, gender, precise GPS-level geolocation, biometric data, government-issued identification numbers, or user-generated content such as photos, videos, or social media posts.
When you purchase a Product, we collect your payment card information to process your transaction. If you choose a monthly payment plan, we share your payment card details with the relevant Payment Plan Provider so they can process your recurring payments. The “Payment Plan Provider” is the finance company that processes your periodic payments when you purchase Products and is subject to a separate agreement which is provided to you .
We do not store your full payment card number. Card information is processed in transient memory and transmitted directly to the Payment Plan Provider without being written to our systems. We retain only the last four digits of your card number for identification purposes (for example, so you can confirm which card is on file). We retain a record of the initial downpayment transaction for tax and accounting purposes. All subsequent recurring payment records are held by the Payment Plan Provider.
Program description. We operate a text message program called "Chaiz Account Notifications." If you consent to receive text messages from us, we will send you service messages relating to the Product you have purchased and your payment plan. Examples include reminders that a scheduled payment is due, notice that a payment has failed, notice that the payment card on file is due to expire, and notifications about your contract or account. This is a transactional program. We do not send marketing or promotional text messages through it.
How we obtain your consent. We send text messages only to customers who have given prior express consent to receive them. You provide that consent by giving us your mobile number and separately opting in to text messages at the point of purchase, or by opting in later through your account at app.chaiz.com. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of purchasing any Product from us.
Message frequency. Message frequency varies according to the activity on your account. You may receive up to 3 messages per month.
Cost. Message and data rates may apply. Chaiz does not charge you for text messages, but your mobile carrier may.
How to opt out. You may stop receiving text messages at any time by replying STOP to any message from us. We will send you a single message confirming that you have been unsubscribed, after which we will not send you further text messages. You may also opt out by contacting us at support@chaiz.com or by calling (833) 942 4249. Opting out of text messages does not affect your Product, your payment plan, or your ability to contact us, and we will continue to send you any notices we are required by law or by your contract to provide.
How to get help. Reply HELP to any message from us, email support@chaiz.com, or call (833) 942 4249.
Carriers. Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Delivery of text messages depends on your carrier’s network and is not guaranteed.
Mobile information and SMS consent are never shared for marketing. No mobile information, mobile telephone number, or text messaging consent or opt-in data will be shared with, sold to, or rented to any third party or affiliate for marketing or promotional purposes at any time. This exclusion applies to all of the categories of sharing described in "How We Share Your Information" below. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent are excluded from any sale or sharing of personal information, and are not shared with our advertising, analytics, or affiliate partners under any circumstances.
We share your mobile number with service providers only where it is necessary to deliver the text messages themselves — for example with Twilio, the messaging platform we use to send them — and with the Provider and Payment Plan Provider so that they can service your contract, as described below. These parties are not permitted to use your mobile number for their own marketing or promotional purposes.
For the full text message program terms, see our Terms of Use at chaiz.com/legal/terms-of-use
We use cookies and similar technologies (including local Storage, session Storage, pixels, and web beacons) from the following categories of partners:
Analytics, advertising, and affiliate partners. We share identifiers and browsing data with Google, Meta, Microsoft, Mixpanel, Impact.com, Microsoft Clarity, and MNTN (including MNTN's connected television advertising partners) for advertising measurement, campaign optimization, affiliate tracking, session replay, connected TV advertising, advertising suppression for existing customers, and user experience analysis.
Session replay and behavior analysis. We use Microsoft Clarity and Mixpanel, which record how visitors interact with our Website, including mouse movements, clicks, scrolling, and form interactions. Input fields are masked during session replay to prevent exposure of personal or sensitive information.
Fraud detection (strictly necessary). We use ClickCease to detect and prevent click fraud on our advertising campaigns. ClickCease collects technical data, including IP addresses, device information, and click behavior. We consider this processing strictly necessary to protect our Services and your experience. ClickCease operates regardless of your opt-out preferences.
Error monitoring (strictly necessary). We use Sentry to detect and diagnose technical errors on our Website. Sentry may collect your IP address and technical information about your browser and device when an error occurs. This data is used solely to identify and fix technical issues. Sentry operates regardless of your opt-out preferences.
First-party cookies and storage. We use session-based and persistent client-side storage to remember your preferences and enable core functionality.
Connected TV and cross-device advertising. We use MNTN, a connected television (CTV) advertising and measurement provider, to deliver digital and connected TV advertisements and to suppress further advertising to visitors who have already purchased a Product. MNTN's technology collects a unique user identifier, your IP address, device identifiers, your Google Analytics identifier (where applicable), and information about your interactions with our Website, and may combine this information across your devices. If you complete a purchase, we share limited conversion information (such as an order identifier, order amount, and product category) with MNTN so that its connected TV advertising partners can avoid showing you further advertising for that Product. MNTN does not receive your name, email address, vehicle information, or payment details from us.
Under applicable state privacy laws, our sharing of data with analytics, advertising, session replay, and affiliate partners may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. See "Your Opt-Out Rights" below.
When you first visit our Website, we display a cookie banner that gives you the choice to accept or manage your tracking preferences. You can:
If you do not interact with the banner, analytics and advertising technologies will remain active until you opt out. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link in the footer of our Website or by enabling Global Privacy Control (GPC) in your browser.
Strictly necessary technologies (fraud detection and error monitoring) operate regardless of your cookie preferences.
We use your personal information for the following purposes:
We process your personal data only for the purposes disclosed in this policy or for purposes reasonably compatible with those purposes. If we wish to process your data for a materially different purpose, we will notify you and, where required by law, obtain your consent.
We share your personal information with the following categories of third parties:
Product providers ("Providers"). We share your vehicle information, contact details (including your phone number), and payment information with the relevant Provider so they can underwrite and service your contract. Your phone number is shared so the Provider can contact you regarding claims, coverage queries, and contract administration. This sharing is necessary to provide our core Services. This sharing is for contract servicing only. We do not authorize Providers to use your mobile number to market to you, and we do not share your text messaging consent or opt-in data with them.
Payment Plan Providers. If you select a monthly payment plan, we share your payment card information and phone number with the relevant Payment Plan Provider so they can process recurring payments and contact you regarding missed payments or account administration. This sharing is for account servicing only and does not include your text messaging consent or opt-in data.
Service providers and processors. We engage service providers to help us deliver our Services. These include:
These providers process personal data on our behalf under their standard data processing terms, which include obligations to protect your data and limit their use of it to the purposes for which it was disclosed.
Advertising, analytics, and affiliate partners. We share identifiers and browsing data with Google, Meta, Microsoft, Mixpanel, Impact.com, and Microsoft Clarity for advertising measurement, campaign optimization, affiliate tracking, session replay, and user experience analysis. Under applicable state privacy laws, this may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. We do not share, sell, or provide your mobile phone number or messaging consent data to third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.
In the preceding twelve months, we have shared the following categories of personal information with these partners: identifiers (such as cookie IDs, IP addresses, and device identifiers), internet or electronic network activity information (such as browsing behavior and session interaction data on our Website), and inferences drawn from this information.
Fraud detection providers. We share technical data (IP addresses, device information, click behavior) with ClickCease for advertising fraud prevention. We consider this sharing strictly necessary for security purposes.
Law enforcement or legal authority. We may disclose your information where required by law, to comply with a court order or legal process, to protect our rights or property, or to protect the safety of our users or the public.
Business transfers. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of such a change before it materially affects how your information is processed.
Mobile information and SMS consent — exclusion from all sharing. None of the categories of sharing described above include your mobile telephone number or your text messaging consent or opt-in data for marketing or promotional purposes. No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes at any time. Your mobile number is shared only with the service providers, Providers, and Payment Plan Providers identified above, and only for the purpose of delivering messages and servicing your contract.
We do not sell your personal information in exchange for monetary payment.
We do not sell, rent, or share your mobile telephone number or your text messaging consent or opt-in data with any third party or affiliate for marketing or promotional purposes, and this information is excluded from any sharing that may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" under applicable state privacy laws.
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, provide our Services, and comply with our legal obligations. Specifically:
When personal information is no longer required, we securely delete or de-identify it.
Depending on your state of residence, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:
Right to Know and Access. You may request that we disclose what personal information we hold about you, where we collected it from, why we collected it, and who we have shared it with. We will compile the relevant records from our systems and provide them to you in a readable format.
Right to Delete. You may request that we delete your personal information. If you have an active contract, we may not be able to delete information that is necessary to fulfill that contract. In such cases, we will delete the information once the contract ends and the applicable retention period expires.
Right to Correct. You may request that we correct inaccurate personal information we maintain about you.
Right to Data Portability. You may request a copy of your personal information in a structured, machine-readable format (such as CSV). For Chaiz customers, this typically includes your contact details, vehicle information, and contract details.
Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing. You may direct us to stop sharing your personal information with advertising, analytics, and affiliate partners. See "Your Opt-Out Rights" below.
Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information. Where we process sensitive personal information (such as payment card data), you may request that we limit our use to what is strictly necessary to provide our Services. Since we process payment card data only transiently and do not store it, this right has limited practical application for our Services, but you may still exercise it.
Right to Non-Discrimination. We will not deny you Services, charge you different prices, or provide a different quality of service because you exercise any of these rights.
Right to Appeal. If we decline to act on your privacy request, we will inform you of the reason and provide instructions for how to appeal. You may submit an appeal by emailing privacy@chaiz.com with the subject line "Privacy Request Appeal." We will respond within 60 days. If your appeal is denied, we will provide you with information on how to contact your state's Attorney General.
To exercise any of the rights described in this policy, email us at privacy@chaiz.com.
We will confirm receipt of your request within 10 business days and respond within 45 calendar days. If we need additional time, we will notify you of the extension and the reason. In no event will we take longer than 90 calendar days from the date of your original request.
To protect your privacy, we may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request. We will ask you to confirm information we already hold about you (such as your email address, vehicle details, or contract details). We will not require you to create a new account solely to submit a request.
You may designate an authorized agent to submit a privacy request on your behalf. If you use an authorized agent, we may require (a) signed written permission from you authorizing the agent, and (b) verification of your own identity. We may waive these requirements if the agent provides a valid power of attorney under applicable state law.
We share data with advertising, analytics, session replay, and affiliate partners as described in "How We Share Your Information" above. Under applicable state privacy laws, this may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information.
You may opt out of this sharing at any time by:
Because tracking opt-out is applied at the browser level, it must be set in each browser you use to visit our Website. For all other privacy requests (such as data access, deletion, or correction), contact us at privacy@chaiz.com.
We recognize and honor GPC signals. When we detect a GPC signal, we treat it as a valid opt-out request and will display a confirmation on our Website.
Text messages. To stop receiving text messages, reply STOP to any message from us, or contact us at support@chaiz.com. We will honour a request to stop text messages made by any reasonable means, and will action it promptly and in any event within the period required by applicable law. See "SMS and Text Messaging" above for the full program terms.
When you opt out, we will stop sharing your data with advertising and analytics partners and disable session replay recording. We will continue to collect anonymous, aggregate usage data to improve our Website. Fraud detection (ClickCease) and error monitoring (Sentry) will continue to operate as they are strictly necessary for security and functionality.
When you purchase a Product, we transiently process your payment card information to complete the transaction and transmit your details to the Payment Plan Provider. We do not store your full card number in our systems. Since we only process this data in memory and do not retain it, the practical scope of sensitive personal information we hold is limited.
You may request that we limit our use of sensitive personal information by contacting us at privacy@chaiz.com or by clicking the "Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information" link on our Website.

During these visits, our advertising and analytics technologies collect personal information as described in "Cookies and Tracking Technologies" above.
