Privacy policy
Last updated: September 30, 2026
This policy explains how AutoQuoteWise (“we”, “us”) collects, uses, shares and sells personal information when you visit autoquotewise.com or use our quote comparison service, and the choices and rights you have. It applies to consumers in the United States.
Summary
- We collect the information you enter on our quote form, plus technical information about your visit.
- If you agree, we share and sell your information to insurance companies, agents and marketing partners so they can contact you with quotes. This is how our service is paid for.
- You can opt out of sale and sharing, stop calls, texts and emails, and ask to access, correct or delete your information at any time.
- We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as a request to opt out of sale and sharing.
Information we collect
| Category | Examples | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Identifiers and contact details | Name, email address, phone number, street address, city, state, ZIP code | You |
| Insurance and vehicle information | Whether you are insured, current insurer and how long you have been insured, number of vehicles, vehicle year, make and model | You |
| Personal characteristics | Age, whether you own a home | You |
| Financial information | Self-reported credit rating band (for example “Good” or “Fair”). We do not ask for your Social Security number or run a credit check | You |
| Driving history | Self-reported tickets, accidents and DUIs | You |
| Internet and device information | IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, the page you came from, and advertising or campaign identifiers in the link you clicked (such as UTM parameters or click IDs from search and social ad platforms) | Automatically, from your browser |
| Consent records | The exact consent language you saw, when you agreed, and a recording of your session on our form | Automatically, via us and our consent-verification providers |
| Privacy preferences | Opt-out requests, GPC signals and suppression requests | You and your browser |
Some of this information, such as your credit band combined with other details, may be sensitive under some state laws. We only use it to help insurers estimate your quote.
Session recording and consent verification
To prove that consumers gave consent before being contacted, and to prevent fraud, we use consent-verification services from ActiveProspect (TrustedForm) and Verisk (Jornaya LeadiD). While you use our quote form, these services record your interactions with the page, such as the text shown to you, what you type and click, and the time. They create a certificate that we and our partners can use to verify your consent. These providers process this information on our behalf and under their own privacy policies.
How we use your information
- To show you insurance options and connect you with companies that can quote you.
- To share or sell your information to partners when you have agreed to be contacted (see below).
- To contact you about your quote request by phone, text or email, when you have consented.
- To keep records of your consent and comply with laws such as the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).
- To detect and prevent fraud, spam and misuse of our site.
- To measure and improve our site and advertising, including reporting conversions to the advertising platforms that sent you to us.
- To respond to your requests and to comply with legal obligations.
How we share and sell information
Insurance and marketing partners. When you check the consent box on our quote form, we share your information with insurance companies, insurance agents and marketing partners, and they pay us for it. Under laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), this is a “sale”. These partners may contact you, including by automated calls and texts, at the number you provided. Your consent is not a condition of any purchase. The partners who may receive your information are listed on the partner page linked from the consent statement. Partners use your information under their own privacy policies.
Advertising and analytics providers. When you arrive through an ad, we may report conversions (for example, that a quote request was completed, together with the click ID from your link) to the advertising platform or tracking service that sent you to us. Where we use analytics or advertising cookies, we load them only after you agree to them. Under some state laws this is “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not report these conversions when a GPC signal is present.
Service providers. We use hosting, database, email, SMS and security providers that process information on our behalf and may not use it for their own purposes.
Legal and business transfers. We may disclose information to comply with law, respond to legal process, protect our rights and users, or as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.
Your choices
- Opt out of sale and sharing: use Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information, or turn on Global Privacy Control in your browser. We treat a GPC signal as an opt-out for that browser.
- Stop calls, texts and emails: use the Stop Calls & Texts form, reply STOP to any text, or use the unsubscribe link in any email. We add your number or email to our suppression list and stop passing it to partners. Partners who already received your details must also honor your request. Please allow up to 10 business days.
- Cookies: you can refuse optional cookies when we ask, and block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
Your privacy rights
Depending on your state (including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, Oregon and other states with privacy laws), you may have the right to:
- Know and access the personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources, the purposes, and the categories of third parties we disclosed it to.
- Correct inaccurate personal information.
- Delete personal information we collected from you, subject to legal exceptions.
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information and of targeted advertising.
- Limit the use of sensitive personal information, where applicable.
- Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.
To make a request, use our privacy rights request form or email us at the address on our contact page. We will verify your identity by matching the information you give us with what we hold, and respond within 45 days (we may extend this by another 45 days where the law allows, and will tell you if we do). You may use an authorized agent, who must provide proof of your permission. If we deny your request, you may appeal by replying to our decision, and if your appeal is denied you may contact your state attorney general.
How long we keep information
We keep quote and consent records for as long as we need them to provide our service, and for up to five years afterwards so we can prove consent and defend legal claims, unless a longer period is required by law. We keep suppression and opt-out records for as long as needed to honor your request.
Security
We protect your information with encryption in transit, access controls and other safeguards appropriate to its sensitivity. No system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children
Our service is intended for adults who are old enough to hold a driver's license and buy insurance. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16, and we do not knowingly sell or share information of consumers under 16.
Changes to this policy
We will post any changes on this page and update the date at the top. If we make a material change to how we sell or share your information, we will give notice on our site before it takes effect.
