Quote Requests and Insurance Partners
QuotesAutoInsurance.org is an insurance information and quote-request resource. We are not an insurance carrier and do not issue insurance policies ourselves.
When you voluntarily submit information through a quote form, that information may be shared with insurance companies, licensed insurance agencies, insurance-related service providers, or other partners involved in responding to or facilitating your request.
The information provided through a quote form should be used only in connection with the purposes described at the time of submission and as otherwise permitted by applicable law and the relevant partner's privacy practices.
Before submitting a request, visitors may also review our insurance guides and insurance company resources for additional educational information.
Sharing Your Information
We may share information when reasonably necessary to provide the Services, facilitate a request you submit, maintain our systems, or comply with legal obligations.
| Who Information May Be Shared With | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Insurance and quote-service partners | To process, respond to, or facilitate insurance quote requests submitted by users. |
| Technology and service providers | To provide hosting, analytics, security, communications, infrastructure, or other services needed to operate the Website and related Services. |
| Legal, regulatory, or compliance parties | When disclosure is required by law, legal process, regulatory obligation, or when reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, security, or the integrity of the Services. |
We do not disclose personal information for purposes unrelated to the operation of our Services except as described in this Privacy Policy, disclosed to you at the time information is collected, or otherwise permitted by applicable law.
Analytics and Measurement
We may use analytics and measurement services to understand how visitors interact with the Website, which pages are useful, how visitors arrive at the Website, and how the performance of our Services can be improved.
These technologies may process information such as page views, referral sources, approximate location, device information, session activity, and interactions with Website features.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to help protect personal information from unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no website, application, network, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted through or stored by the Services.
Data Retention
Information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Services, support submitted requests, maintain records, prevent fraud, resolve disputes, comply with legal obligations, and protect legitimate business and security interests.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the purpose for which it was collected, applicable legal requirements, and the practices of third-party partners involved in a submitted request.
Third-Party Websites and Services
Our Services may contain links to insurance carriers, service providers, government resources, comparison resources, or other third-party websites.
QuotesAutoInsurance.org does not control the privacy practices, security, content, or policies of independent third parties.
When you leave our Website or interact directly with another company, that company's privacy policy and terms may apply. We encourage users to review the privacy information provided by those third parties.

You may be able to request information about certain personal data associated with you.
Correction or Deletion

If we become aware that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected in a manner inconsistent with this Policy, we will take reasonable steps to address the situation.
