Insurance Carriers & Agents
The primary purpose of our service is to connect you with licensed insurance professionals. When you submit a quote request or call our number, we share your information with relevant insurance carriers and licensed agents who may contact you with coverage options. This sharing is fundamental to our service.
Service Providers
We engage trusted third-party companies to assist us in operating our Site and delivering our services.

These parties are contractually required to use your information only as directed by us and in accordance with applicable law.

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, regulation, or legal process, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.
Once your information is shared with a licensed insurance carrier or agent, their use of that information is governed by their own privacy policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any carrier or agent you choose to work with.
