Happy Camper processes personal information in different legal capacities depending on the context. This section explains our different roles and responsibilities.
8.1 Happy Camper as Independent Data Controller
Happy Camper acts as an independent data controller when we determine the purposes and means of processing personal information for our own business operations and services. This includes:
Direct-to-Consumer Services: When individuals purchase roadside assistance services directly from Happy Camper (not through a white-label client), we are the sole controller of their personal information.
Our Website and Corporate Operations: For visitors to our corporate websites, business contacts, vendors, prospective customers, and other individuals with whom we interact in the course of our business operations, we are the independent controller.
Employment and Recruiting: For job applicants, employees, contractors, and other individuals in an employment or work relationship with Happy Camper, we are the controller.
Marketing and Analytics: For our own marketing initiatives, customer analytics, and business intelligence activities (separate from joint controller arrangements), we act as an independent controller.
Insurance Brokerage Services: For individuals who use our insurance brokerage services, we are the controller (or co-controller with insurance carriers in certain contexts).
Our Own Technology Development: When we use data to develop, train, and improve our proprietary technology, algorithms, and AI systems (in compliance with our contractual obligations), we are the controller.
As an independent controller, Happy Camper has sole responsibility for:
- Determining how and why personal information is processed
- Complying with all applicable data protection laws
- Responding to data subject rights requests
- Maintaining appropriate security measures
- Providing privacy notices and obtaining required consents
- Managing data breaches and security incidents
8.2 Happy Camper as Joint Data Controller

In these arrangements, both Happy Camper and the client jointly determine certain purposes and means of processing end user personal information.
Examples of White-Label Client Arrangements:
- RV manufacturers
- RV dealers and dealer networks
- Vehicle warranty providers

- Obtaining required consents from end users (such as geolocation consent)
Data Subject Rights Under Joint Controller Arrangements:
End users may exercise their privacy rights against either Happy Camper or the joint controller client. When we receive a data subject rights request:
- Happy Camper will serve as the primary coordinator of the response
- Happy Camper and the client will cooperate to provide a complete response
- Each party will provide information within its area of responsibility
- Both parties will comply with applicable legal timeframes for responses
- If a request requires action by both parties (e.g., deletion), both parties will take appropriate action
Transparency:
Both Happy Camper and our joint controller clients are required to:

However, this internal allocation of liability does not affect data subjects’ rights to bring claims against either or both controllers under the GDPR.
8.3 Happy Camper as Data Processor/Service Provider
In certain limited contexts, Happy Camper acts as a data processor or service provider (under California law) on behalf of our clients. This includes:
Client Business Data: When our clients provide us with personal information about their employees, dealers, business contacts, or other individuals not directly using roadside assistance services (e.g., dealer contact lists, employee rosters), we process such information solely on the client’s behalf as a processor.
Custom Technology Services: When we provide custom software development, data analytics, or other technology services to clients under specific service agreements, we may act as a processor for certain data sets.
As a processor/service provider, Happy Camper:

- Account notifications and security alerts

However, we may partner with third parties for joint marketing initiatives. In such cases:
- We will clearly disclose the partnership
- We will obtain your consent for the specific joint marketing initiative
- The third party will be contractually prohibited from using your information for other purposes
- You can opt out of the joint marketing at any time
11. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING
11.1 Use of Artificial Intelligence
Happy Camper uses artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and automated systems in various aspects of our Services. This section describes our AI systems, how they work, and your rights related to automated decision-making.
11.2 Types of AI Systems We Use
Customer Service Chatbots: We use AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants to:
- Answer frequently asked questions
- Help you navigate the app and find information
- Provide initial triage for customer service inquiries
- Route you to the appropriate human agent when needed
Our chatbots use natural language processing (NLP) to understand your questions and provide relevant responses. Chatbot conversations may be reviewed by human agents for quality assurance and to improve the system.
Predictive Analytics: We use machine learning models for predictive analytics, including:
- Service Demand Forecasting: Predicting when and where roadside assistance services will be needed to optimize our service provider network
- Risk Assessment: Assessing risk factors such as likelihood of claims, fraud risk, and service quality issues
- Customer Churn Prediction: Identifying customers at risk of canceling services to enable proactive retention efforts
- Route Optimization: Predicting optimal routes and estimated arrival times for service providers
- Pricing Optimization: Analyzing market conditions and demand patterns to optimize pricing (for insurance brokerage services)
Fraud Detection: We use AI-powered fraud detection systems to:
- Identify potentially fraudulent service requests or claims
- Detect unusual patterns that may indicate account compromise or identity theft
- Flag transactions that require additional verification
- Protect against payment fraud and unauthorized access
Dispatch Optimization: We use algorithmic systems to:
- Match service requests with the nearest available and qualified independent service providers
- Optimize dispatch decisions based on location, availability, service type, and other factors
- Balance workload across our service provider network
- Minimize response times and improve service quality
Content Personalization: We may use AI to:
- Personalize app content and recommendations based on your preferences and usage patterns
- Customize marketing messages (subject to consent requirements)
- Suggest relevant features or services
Training and Improvement: We use personal information (in anonymized or aggregated form where possible) to train, test, and improve our AI systems and machine learning models. This includes:
- Training chatbots on historical customer service conversations
- Improving predictive models using historical service data
- Enhancing fraud detection algorithms using past fraud patterns
- Refining dispatch algorithms based on service outcomes
11.3 Data Used to Train AI Systems
Our AI systems are trained using:
Historical Service Data:
- Past service requests, including location, service type, time of day, and outcomes
- Claims data and adjudication decisions
- Service provider performance metrics
- Customer satisfaction ratings and feedback
Interaction Data:
- Chatbot conversations and customer service interactions
- App usage patterns and user behavior
- Search queries and navigation paths
Anonymized and Aggregated Data: Where possible, we anonymize or aggregate personal information before using it to train AI models. This means:
- Individual identifiers are removed or replaced with pseudonymous identifiers
- Data is aggregated across many users so individual behavior cannot be identified
- Personal information is stripped from training datasets
However, some AI systems require non-anonymized data for training and operation (such as chatbots responding to your specific questions). In these cases, we implement appropriate safeguards as described in Section 11.6.
Third-Party Data: We may supplement our training data with industry benchmarks, publicly available information, and data from third-party providers to improve model accuracy and reduce bias.
11.4 Automated Decision-Making
Solely Automated Decisions: We engage in limited automated decision-making without human involvement. Automated decisions include:
- Chatbot Responses: Our chatbot provides automated responses to common questions without human review for each interaction.
- Fraud Flags: Our fraud detection system may automatically flag transactions or requests as potentially fraudulent, which triggers additional review (but final decisions are made by humans).
- Dispatch Matching: Our dispatch algorithm automatically matches service requests with service providers based on location, availability, and qualifications.
Decisions with Human Involvement: Most significant decisions involve human review and oversight:
- Claims Adjudication: While our systems may provide recommendations, claims decisions are reviewed and approved by human claims adjusters.
- Account Actions: Decisions to suspend, terminate, or restrict accounts involve human review, especially when based on fraud detection alerts.
- Complex Customer Service: When chatbots cannot resolve an issue or when the matter is complex, the conversation is escalated to a human agent.
- Risk Assessment for Insurance: While AI may assist in risk assessment for insurance products, underwriting decisions involve human review and approval.
11.5 Your Rights Regarding Automated Decision-Making
Right to Human Review: You have the right to request human review of decisions made solely by automated systems, particularly decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you. To request human review:
- Contact our Data Protection Officer at fraz@thehappycamper.com
- Explain the decision you wish to contest
- Provide any additional information you believe is relevant
We will conduct a human review of the decision and respond to you within the timeframe required by applicable law (typically 45 days for U.S. residents, 30 days for EEA/UK residents).
Right to Explanation: For certain automated decisions, you have the right to receive meaningful information about the logic involved in the decision-making process. When you request an explanation, we will provide:
- Information about what type of AI system was used
- What factors the system considered
- The general logic of how the decision was made
- How you can contest the decision
However, we may not be able to disclose proprietary algorithms or trade secrets that would compromise our systems or competitive position.

16. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
16.1 Cross-Border Data Transfers
Happy Camper operates primarily in the United States and Canada. Personal information we collect may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in countries other than the country in which it was originally collected, including the United States, Canada, and other countries where Happy Camper, our affiliates, or our service providers maintain operations or data processing facilities.
These countries may have data protection laws that differ from the laws of your country of residence. By using our Services and providing personal information to us, you acknowledge and consent to the transfer of your personal information to these countries.
16.2 Primary Data Storage Locations
Our primary data storage and processing locations are:
United States:
- Primary production data: Amazon Web Services (AWS) US regions (us-east-1, us-west-2)
- Backup and disaster recovery: AWS US regions (geographically distributed)
- Corporate systems and offices: Nevada, USA
Canada:
- Canadian customer data may be stored in AWS Canada regions (ca-central-1) for compliance with Canadian data residency preferences
- Certain processing may occur in Canada for Canadian customers
Additional Locations: If we establish data storage or processing facilities in additional countries, we will update this Privacy Policy and notify affected individuals as required by law.
16.3 Transfers from the European Economic Area, UK, and Switzerland
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), or Switzerland, we comply with applicable European Data Protection Laws regarding international data transfers.
Legal Mechanisms for Transfers:
We use the following legal mechanisms to ensure adequate protection for personal data transferred from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland:
Adequacy Decisions:
- Canada: The European Commission has determined that Canada (under PIPEDA) provides an adequate level of protection for personal data. Transfers to Canada are permitted on this basis.
Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs): For transfers to the United States and other countries without adequacy decisions, we use Standard Contractual Clauses (also known as Model Clauses) approved by the European Commission. The SCCs are contractual commitments between us and data recipients that provide appropriate safeguards for personal data.
The specific SCCs we use depend on the transfer scenario:
- EU SCCs (Decision 2021/914): For GDPR-governed transfers, we use the EU Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission on June 4, 2021.
- UK Addendum: For UK GDPR-governed transfers, we use the EU SCCs as amended by the UK International Data Transfer Addendum issued by the UK Information Commissioner.
- Swiss SCCs: For Swiss FADP-governed transfers, we use the EU SCCs with Swiss-specific modifications.
The SCCs are incorporated into our data processing agreements with clients and subprocessors. For end users, the essence of the SCC arrangements is as follows:
- Module: We use Module Two (Controller to Processor) when we process personal data on behalf of controllers in the EEA/UK/Switzerland
- Docking Clause: The optional docking clause applies, allowing additional parties to accede to the SCCs
- Subprocessor Changes: We provide prior notice of subprocessor changes as described in our DPA
- Data Subject Rights: Data subjects can enforce their rights under the SCCs
- Governing Law: EU SCCs are governed by Irish law; UK Addendum by UK law; Swiss SCCs by Swiss law
- Competent Courts: Disputes are resolved before the courts of Ireland (EU SCCs), UK (UK Addendum), or Switzerland (Swiss SCCs)
Supplementary Measures: In addition to the SCCs, we implement supplementary technical and organizational measures to protect personal data transferred internationally, including:
- Encryption in transit and at rest
- Pseudonymization where feasible
- Access controls and authentication
- Contractual restrictions on government access
- Transparency about government requests
- Regular security audits and assessments
Data Protection Impact Assessments: We conduct transfer impact assessments (TIAs) to evaluate the level of protection in destination countries and ensure that our safeguards are adequate.
16.4 Transfers to Subprocessors
Our subprocessors (service providers) may process personal data in various countries. We require all subprocessors to:
- Enter into data processing agreements incorporating appropriate transfer mechanisms (SCCs where required)
- Implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures
- Comply with applicable data protection laws
A list of subprocessors and their locations is available upon request.
16.5 U.S. Federal and State Data Transfer Restrictions
While the United States does not currently have federal adequacy recognition from the EU, certain U.S. federal and state laws impose restrictions on data transfers:
GLBA (Financial Services): For financial services regulated under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, we comply with requirements for sharing financial information with nonaffiliated third parties, including offshore service providers.
State Data Breach Notification Laws: Most U.S. states require notification of data breaches involving personal information. When personal information is transferred to third parties, we ensure those parties notify us of breaches so we can comply with notification obligations.
State Privacy Laws: Certain state privacy laws (such as California’s CCPA, as amended by CPRA) regulate transfers of personal information to third parties and service providers. We comply with these requirements through appropriate contractual safeguards.
16.6 Canadian Data Transfer Requirements
PIPEDA: Under PIPEDA, Canadian organizations may transfer personal information outside Canada for processing, provided they:
- Notify individuals of transfers
- Obtain consent where required
- Ensure adequate protection through contractual or other means
- Remain accountable for personal information even when processed by third parties
We comply with these requirements by:
- Disclosing transfers in this Privacy Policy
- Obtaining consent where required
- Using data processing agreements with service providers
- Maintaining oversight of service providers’ compliance
Quebec Law 25: Quebec’s Law 25 imposes specific requirements for transfers outside Quebec, including:
- Prior notice to individuals
- Description of security measures
- Assessment of privacy risks
For Quebec residents, we conduct privacy risk assessments for transfers outside Quebec and implement appropriate safeguards.
16.7 Government Access to Data
Personal information transferred to the United States may be subject to access by U.S. government authorities under U.S. law, including:
- Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA)
- Executive Order 12333
- USA PATRIOT Act
- Other national security and law enforcement laws
When we receive lawful government requests for personal information, we:
- Review the request for legal sufficiency
- Challenge overly broad or inappropriate requests where possible
- Notify affected individuals when legally permitted
- Disclose only the information legally required
- Publish transparency reports about government requests (to the extent permitted)
Data subjects in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland may have rights to redress under applicable data transfer mechanisms (such as the SCCs) if government access occurs in violation of those mechanisms.
16.8 Your Rights Regarding International Transfers
Right to Object: If you are located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you may have the right to object to the transfer of your personal data to countries outside those regions. However, such objection may prevent us from providing Services to you if the transfer is necessary for service delivery.
Right to Information: You have the right to obtain information about the safeguards we use for international transfers. Contact our Data Protection Officer for more information.
Right to Lodge Complaints: If you believe international transfers of your personal data do not comply with applicable law, you may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority:
- EEA: Contact your national Data Protection Authority
- UK: Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) – ico.org.uk
- Switzerland: Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) – edoeb.admin.ch
16.9 Changes to Transfer Practices
We may change our data transfer practices, locations, or mechanisms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through updates to this Privacy Policy and, where required by law, through direct notice to affected individuals.
