Privacy Policy

Introduction

Quote Wink (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website and use our auto insurance comparison services.

Important: Quote Wink operates as a pass-through comparison service. We do not store your personal information on our servers. When you submit a quote request, your information is transmitted directly to our insurance carrier and agent partners who can provide you with quotes. We act solely as a conduit to connect you with these providers.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using our website, you consent to the practices described in this policy.

Automatically Collected Information

• Comply with legal obligations

Information Sharing

As a pass-through comparison service, we transmit your information directly to our partners without storing it ourselves. Your information may be shared with:

• Insurance Carriers and Agents: Your information is transmitted directly to our network of insurance partners who can provide you with quotes and coverage options. Once transmitted, these partners become the data controllers for your information.
• Service Providers: Third-party vendors who assist us in operating our website and facilitating the transmission of your information.
• Legal Requirements: When required by law, court order, or government request.
• Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience on our website. These technologies help us understand how you use our site, remember your preferences, and deliver relevant advertising.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling cookies may limit your ability to use certain features of our website.

Data Security and Retention

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information during transmission. Because we operate as a pass-through service, we do not store your personal information on our servers after it has been transmitted to our insurance partners.

Your information is transmitted using secure, encrypted connections. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security during transmission.

Data Retention: Since we do not store your personal information, we do not maintain records of your quote requests or personal details. For information about how our insurance partners retain your data, please refer to their respective privacy policies.

Your Rights and Choices

Because we do not store your personal information, many traditional data rights requests should be directed to the insurance partners who received your information. However, depending on your location, you may have the following rights:

• Opt-out of having your information transmitted to insurance partners before submitting a quote request
• Opt-out of marketing communications
• Request information about which partners received your data

For requests to access, correct, or delete your personal information, please contact the insurance carriers and agents who received your information directly, as they are the data controllers who maintain your records.

California Privacy Rights

California residents have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), including the right to know what personal information we collect, request deletion, and opt-out of the sale or sharing of personal information.

Children's Privacy

Our website is not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us immediately.
