Introduction
This policy discloses which information we collect and how we use it, as well as the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. We also detail below our security policy, which describes how your personal information is protected both electronically and physically.
Information We Collect
We collect and use personal information about you to respond to your request for products and services offered through the Sites. We consider non-public information about you in our possession to be personally identifiable information, even if you cease to be an insurance customer. The personally identifiable information we collect about you may include among other things:
- Identifying information, such as your name, age, address, and phone number
We collect information provided by you in connection with obtaining price quotes or rates. For example, you may be asked to provide your name, address, telephone number, email, and other information in order to be matched to insurance carriers and agents who may provide you a quote for their insurance services.
Lastly, we (and/or our service providers) collect information about your computer and your visits to our website, such as your IP address, geographical location, browser type, referral source, length of visit, and page views through the use of log files. We (and/or our service providers) use this aggregated information in the administration of our website to improve its usability and to evaluate the success of particular marketing/advertising campaigns, search engine optimization strategies, and other marketing activities. We (and/or our service providers) use non-identifying and aggregated information to help optimize our website based on the needs of our users. Additionally, third parties may collect certain similar information about your computer and other pages you may visit when you visit our website, as discussed further below.
We will retain your information for as long as needed to provide you services. We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
In addition, we might receive information about you from other online or offline sources and may combine that information with the information you have provided.
How We Use Your Information
We share personally identifiable information about you, as required or permitted by law, with third parties, such as service providers who assist us in the in the administration, processing, servicing, and sale of your insurance policy.
These are a few examples of how we use the information we collect:
To communicate with you. If you submit a request for price quotes for insurance products or other products or services, we will share the personal information contained in your request form with third parties, which may include agents, carriers, lead aggregators, and other service providers in our network, to process and fulfill your request.
Our policy is to enter into agreements requiring service providers to secure any personal information we provide to them and prohibit them from using any personally identifiable information they obtain for any other purpose other than those for which they were retained or as required by law.
Opting Out of Further Communication. While we aim to make it as easy as possible for you to talk directly with an agent, we will honor your request not to be contacted further. You can easily opt-out of further communications from us by requesting to be placed on our Do Not Call list, by replying “STOP” to our text messages, by sending an email to Customer Care at [email protected], or by unsubscribing from our email list.
To provide personalized services to you. We use the information we collect to provide the services to you in a personalized way. Insurance services products are complex and we therefore do not take a one-size-fits-all approach to helping you find the right products. The information we collect enables us to do this by giving us a more detailed picture of who you are.
Aggregate, Non-Personal, or De-identified Information. We may share aggregated information (i.e., information about you and other users collectively, but not specifically identifiable to you) and other non-personal, de-identified, or anonymous information we collect, with third parties to optimize their ability to reach their target markets.
As Required by Law. We may be required to share your personal information to comply with applicable laws or respond to lawful legal process from law enforcement and government agencies.
Business Transfer. As with any other business, it is possible that we could in the future enter into a substantial corporate transaction, such as the sale of our business, a divestiture, merger, consolidation, or asset sale. If such a transaction occurs, the successor company may have access to the information maintained by us, including your personal information, but would continue to be bound by this Privacy Policy.

California Do Not Track Notice
Under California law, website and online service operators are required to disclose how they respond to web browser “do not track” signals or other similar mechanisms that provide consumers the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of personal information about a consumer’s online activities over time and across third party websites (“Do Not Track” requests), to the extent the operator engages in that collection. At this time, we do not track our customer’s personal information over time and across third-party websites and therefore this requirement does not apply to us. The Company does not alter its behavior or change its services upon receiving Do Not Track requests. California law also requires website and online service operators to disclose whether third parties may collect personal information about their user’s online activities over time and across different sites when the users use the operator’s website or service. Third parties that have content or services on our site such as a social feature, analytics service, or an advertising network partner, may obtain information about your browsing or usage habits but this information does not include personal information. We do not knowingly permit such third parties to collect any personal information from our site unless you directly provide it to us and we provide it to them with your consent.
