  1. HOW YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION IS USED TO GENERATE INSURANCE QUOTES

Without limiting the general information in Sections 3 and 4 of this Policy, this Section discusses specifically how we use the personal information that you provide us in order to generate insurance quotes for you as part of the Services.

The following personal information may be collected from you by us in order to allow us to provide target quotes:

  • Full Name
  • Street Address
  • Email Address
  • Phone Number
  • Date of Birth
  • Gender
  • Marital Status
  • Vehicle Information
  • Driving Information
  • Credit information
  • Existing insurance information

Once we receive your personal information for a quote, we transmit it electronically to Insurance Providers (as defined in Section 4) who are in our network in order to match your information with Insurance Providers that are likely to provide a quote that will fit your insurance needs.

By clicking “Get Quotes Now” (or any similar function), you authorize and direct SR22-Insured to provide your information to Insurance Providers. You authorize the Insurance Providers to share your information with their vendors, suppliers, and underwriters in order to generate information for your quote(s).

You acknowledge that by submitting a quote request to SR22-Insured, you agree that our service providers and/or the Insurance Providers may obtain a consumer report or credit score from a consumer reporting agency (also known as a credit bureau), and/or a driving record to provide your requested insurance quote or policy information. These reports may be used to provide additional information to determine your rates, eligibility for insurance or be used for updates, renewals or extensions. By clicking submit to obtain a quote, you authorize and agree that you are providing written permission to our service providers and the Insurance Providers to obtain your credit report and/or driving record.

You may hear from Insurance Providers by phone, email or text message who want to provide you with quotes. These Insurance Providers may ask you for additional personal information. We do not place any restrictions on how the Insurance Providers use the personal information that we provide to them about you. We also do not control what the Insurance Providers do with any additional personal information that they collect directly from you. Once your personal information has been provided to an Insurance Provider, either by you or by us, we are not responsible for how that information is protected, maintained or used by the Insurance Provider. Before you provide any personal information directly to any Insurance Provider, you should inquire with them as to their applicable privacy policies and practices.

  1. TELEPHONE CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT COMPLIANCE

When you provide a cell phone number to us via the Site or Services, you give your consent for us (or our affiliates or business partners) to call or text you at this number for purposes of getting an auto insurance quote or purchasing an auto insurance policy. You may be called via an automated dialer, artificial/pre-recorded message or sent a text message to ask for additional information or provide an insurance quote. This consent does not require you to purchase any goods or services to receive a free quote. By providing your cell phone number to us via the Site or Services, you agree to be contacted at that number regardless of whether you or someone else is in possession of the cell phone when the contact is made. You may revoke your consent any time either verbally, by email or via U.S. mail.
