We are not an insurance company or an insurance agent. We help connect individuals and businesses with companies that may be able to provide insurance products. We do not charge individuals or businesses to submit inquiries regarding obtaining insurance through our Site/Services, instead, we receive a payment from the companies with whom we connect potential buyers such as insurance agents, insurers, and third-party insurance service websites (such websites and their operators referred to herein as “Insurance Services”).

Inferences drawn from the above categories of Personal Information that relate to your preferences, characteristics, psychological trends, predispositions, behavior, attitudes, intelligence, abilities, and aptitudes.
The types of Personal Information we collect about you may vary based on how you use the Site and/or Services and your role in the insurance marketplace (e.g., consumer, agent, insurer).
b. Consumer Report Notice
In some cases, insurance agents, insurers, and Insurance Services may need to obtain additional background information about you. For example, consumer reports (including credit reports) may be ordered in connection with your insurance application. These reports provide information that may assist in determining your eligibility for insurance and the price you may be charged. Consumer reports may also be used for updates, renewals, or extensions of insurance. Insurance companies may also obtain and use a credit-based insurance score based on information contained in your consumer report. Insurance agents, insurers, and Insurance Services may use a third-party service provider in connection with the development of your insurance score and rate quote. By providing information to us for use in obtaining an insurance quote, you give your express consent for insurance agents, Insurers, Insurance Services, and associated third-party service providers with whom we share your Personal Information to obtain and use a consumer report as described in this paragraph.

We use cookies (a small text file placed on your computer to identify your computer and browser) to improve the experience of the Site and Services, such as saving your preferences from visit to visit to present you with a customized version of the Site. Many web browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, certain features of the Site or Services may not work if you delete or disable cookies.
We use the following types of cookies:
Depending on the circumstances, we may use cookies to collect Personal Information, Usage Data, or both.
Some cookies may be placed by third parties such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn. Personal Information collected by third-party cookies is governed by each third-party’s privacy policy.
Your acceptance of cookies is not required for visiting our website.
Most internet browsers accept cookies automatically. If you do not wish this to be so, you may set up your browser so that it will inform you about the setting of cookies so that you may permit this only in individual cases; or that you refuse to accept cookies for certain cases or on a general basis; or that you activate the automatic deletion of the cookies when you close the browser. In addition, you may at any time delete cookies that have already been set by using an internet browser or other software programs.
Many devices and browsers give you the option to manage and/or disable cookies and other online tracking technologies. To opt-out of the use of these technologies, you can change your browser options to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting cookies. To assist you, we compiled directions for some commonly used browsers and devices in the table below. Keep in mind that not all devices and browsers are the same so the methods described below may not work for your browser, browser version, or device and may change at any time. We encourage you to refer to the relevant instructions for your particular device or browser.
Before you dive in, please note, if you opt out of the collection and use of information via cookies and other tracking technologies, you may still see customized advertising displayed by advertising networks from which you have not opted out. In addition, your opt-out will not prevent any advertising network from displaying advertising that is not customized to you and your interests and, consequently, may be less relevant to you. You will need to make such choices on each browser and device you may use to visit our websites and webforms.
Other Options for Disabling Online Tracking. Blocking cookies in your browser may not prevent cross-site tracking of your online activity using other online tracking technologies. In addition to managing your cookie settings for your browser, you can opt-out of tracking directly with the businesses that operate the tracking technologies. To opt-out of certain analytic tracking by our service providers visit the links below:

We may work with third-party advertisers, search providers, and ad networks (“Advertisers”) to learn more about you and show you ads or other content that we believe would be relevant to you. Advertisers may collect and use information about your use of the Site or Services as well as other websites and services. These companies may use cookies and other online tracking technologies to collect and use your information. We and/or Advertisers may also append other data to the data collected by Advertisers to create an interest profile of individual users.

f. Tracking Pixels and Clear GIFs
We employ software technology that enables us to track certain aspects of a user's visit to the Site. This technology helps us better manage content on the Site by informing us what content is effective, how consumers engage with the Site, and how consumers arrive at and/or depart from the Site. The software typically uses two methods to track user activity: (1) "tracking pixels" and (2) "clear gifs." Tracking pixels are pieces of executable code that are embedded in a web page that track usage activity including which pages are viewed, when they are viewed, and how long the pages are viewed. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with unique identifiers which are embedded in web pages and email messages that track whether or not a user has viewed a particular web page or email message. User activity information may be associated with additional information about a user's session, such as IP addresses and the type of browser used, and Personal Information, if provided by the user.
If you arrive at the Site by "clicking through" from another website, then certain information about you that you provided to that other website, such as the terms you were searching that led you to the Site, may be transmitted to us and we may use it. You should review the privacy policy of any website from which you reached the Site to determine what information was collected by that website and for what purpose(s) you agreed that website could use that information. We may retain information about you provided to us by other websites, and will only use it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Such information may be associated with other Usage Data or Personal Information.
