Below are some key things to know about us and our services:

• Our marketplaces include businesses and their agents, as well as third parties who may be able to connect you with such businesses, to offer various products and services they can sell to you or that otherwise may be of interest to you. We refer to all these businesses as advertisers or our network of advertisers.
• Our websites and webforms provide you the ability to connect with our network of advertisers to learn more about various products and services and to request a quote directly from them so you can decide if you want to make a purchase.
• We do not provide rates, quotes, travel, or insurance or finance products or services.
• We do not act as an agent for advertisers nor do we sell the products or services of advertisers.

With the above in mind, we wrote this Privacy Policy to describe the information we collect, how we use it, when and who we share it with, and the controls available to you to manage your information in a way that is easier to read and understand. Of course, if you have questions, feel free to Contact Us

If you're a California or Nevada resident or wish to exercise rights on behalf of someone else, read the additional information in Your Privacy Rights.

Lastly, before you dive in, remember this Privacy Policy only applies to our websites and webforms that link to or reference this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy does not apply to websites maintained by other companies including advertiser websites that we may link to or those you connect with through our websites and webforms or the websites on which our webforms are located. This means that the privacy policy of such companies or advertisers applies to any information you provide directly to them or is collected automatically by them from you.

WHEN AND HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION

We may share the information we have about you in the following ways:

• With Advertisers. Our websites and webforms are designed to connect you with advertisers so you can learn more about their products and services and so you can request quotes and rates directly from them. This means when you submit a request through our websites or webforms, you are asking us to share, and we will share, the information you submit in your request with advertisers (which may include agents, carriers, lead aggregators, and other providers in our network) to process and fulfill your request. Please keep in mind the following important details when using our websites and webforms:
  • By submitting your request, you agree that we and our advertisers may contact you by phone (including through automated calling, live operators, or using recorded messages), text messages, email, or postal mail (based on the information you provide to us and the consent we receive from you), to process and fulfill your request or to market additional products and services that might be of interest to you, even if you have opted into the National Do Not Call List (administered by the Federal Trade Commission) or any similar mechanism to opt-out of receiving phone calls or email. If later you wish not to be contacted by any advertiser, then you will need to contact such advertiser directly to make a request (see the advertiser's privacy policy to learn how to exercise your privacy choices with such advertiser).
  • The categories of information we share with advertisers depends on the website or webform you are using and the type of quote and rates you are requesting. For example, if you are requesting a quote or rates for car insurance, we may share with advertisers your name, address, telephone number, email, information about your cars, and any other information you provide in the website or webform.
  • The information we share with advertisers and the information you provide directly to such advertisers is subject to each advertiser's privacy policy.

  • To optimize advertisers' and other third-parties' ability to reach their target audience and markets by sharing aggregated, non-personally identifiable, de-identified, and aggregated information (i.e., information about you and other users collectively, but not specifically identifiable to you) with such providers and third parties that provide services to us or perform business purposes for us.
  • To help us and others prevent fraud, which may include sharing device, usage, and other information we have about you.

THIRD-PARTY CONTENT, LINKS, AND INTEGRATIONS

As noted above, our websites and webforms will contain third-party content, links, and integrations. For example, when you submit information through our websites and webforms you may be presented with content and links to an advertiser's website to learn more about their products and services or to request a quote or rates directly from them. Through these integrations, you will be providing information to an advertiser, other third parties, as well as to us. We are not responsible for how an advertiser and such other third parties collect or use your information. As always, we encourage you to read the privacy policies of every advertiser and third-party service that you visit or use.

HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION

How long we keep your information depends on the type of information, the purpose for which it is used, how sensitive it is, and other similar factors. For example, we keep your information:

• That you submit through our websites and webforms (like your name, phone number, address, email address, etc.) until you ask us to delete it.

• For as long as necessary to resolve disputes and/or enforce our rights and agreements.
• If it is aggregated, anonymized, de-identified (i.e., not capable of identifying you) then indefinitely.
• In our backup or disaster recovery systems for a limited period of time or as required by applicable law.

Keep in mind, while our systems are designed to carry out our deletion automatically, we cannot promise or guarantee that deletion will occur within a specific timeframe. Also, there may be legal requirements to keep and not delete your information when you make a deletion request to us. This means we may suspend deletion of or not delete your information if we receive valid legal process asking us to preserve your information, if we receive reports of abuse or other Terms of Use violations, or if your use of our websites or webforms or your information is flagged by our automated systems for abuse or other Terms of Use violations.

HOW WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SECURE

The security of your personal information is very important, and we take a number of steps to safeguard it. For example, we have implemented technical and organizational security measures that are designed to help protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, use, and modification. We also maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with or exceed federal standards to guard your information, and we anonymize or expunge data when it is no longer necessary to provide services to our users or substantiate records for an advertiser. From time-to-time, we review our security procedures to consider appropriate new technologies and methods.

Even so, despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect, impenetrable, or 100% secure. We cannot ensure, and do not warrant or guarantee, that the information you transmit to us will remain secure, nor do we guarantee that this information will not be accessed, disclosed, altered, destroyed or used in an unauthorized manner. These are the risks of being online and conducting business online.

Of course, if we learn of a security breach, we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. We may also post a notice on our services if a security breach occurs. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive a notice of a security breach in writing. If you have any questions about the security of your information, please Contact Us.

COOKIES AND OTHER TECHNOLOGIES

As discussed above, advertisers, our service providers (including any other third parties working on our behalf), and any other businesses (third parties) who collect information on our services, may automatically receive certain information associated with you and/or your device(s) as part of your use of our websites and webforms through browser or device-based tracking technologies such as cookies, pixels, tags, beacons, scripts, or other technology.

Many devices and browsers give you the option to manage and/or disable cookies and other online tracking technologies. To opt-out of the use of these technologies, you can change your browser options to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting cookies. To assist you, we compiled directions for some commonly used browsers and devices in the table below. Keep in mind that not all devices and browsers are the same so the methods described below may not work for your browser, browser version, or device and may change at any time. We encourage you to refer to the relevant instructions for your particular device or browser.

Before you dive in, please note, if you opt out of the collection and use of information via cookies and other tracking technologies, you may still see customized advertising displayed by advertising networks from which you have not opted out. In addition, your opt-out will not prevent any advertising network from displaying advertising that is not customized to you and your interests and, consequently, may be less relevant to you. You will need to make such choices on each browser and device you may use to visit our websites and webforms.

• Do Not Track. Some web browsers may transmit “do not track” signals. Web browsers may incorporate or activate these features differently, making it unclear if users have consciously activated them. As a result, we do not take steps to respond to such signals.
• European Visitors. In connection with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applicable in the European Economic Area (EEA), we eliminate or limit the use of cookies and similar technologies with visitors from the EEA (excluding our corporate website available at www.mediaalpha.com, which continues to use cookies for all users with proper consent (see more information below)). Specifically:
  • If you visit a third-party site that uses our services, we will not place any cookies on your device unless you have provided your consent and been provided with notice of our privacy practices and your ability to opt-out at any time.
  • We will not seek your consent to use cookies in this instance, though the advertiser or their website publisher may do so.
  • If you visit one of our websites, we will only place limited third-party cookies, such as those made available for analytics purposes by Google and Bing. In this case, we will seek your consent to use these third-party cookies and will only do so after you indicate your consent. If you do not consent, then no cookies will be written to your device.
  • If you are visiting our corporate website, mediaalpha.com, for the first time, or the first time after we make a material change, we will seek your consent to use cookies.
  • If you do not consent, you will still be able to use our websites, but certain functionality may be limited. To enable this feature, we use third-party tools to determine your geographic location; if these tools indicate that you are in the EEA, then we treat your visit as above. If you feel that you are subject to GDPR, but we have nonetheless used cookies in connection with your visit without consent (which may be due to a failure of the third party geolocation tools, your use of a proxy server, your location outside of the EEA at the time of your visit, or some other factor beyond our control) please notify us through our Contact Us and make sure to include any relevant details so that we can ensure proper treatment of your data under GDPR.
