MoneyGeek respects your privacy. This policy explains what we collect when you visit moneygeek.com, how we use it, who receives it and the choices you have.

If you have a question this policy doesn't answer, email us at privacy@moneygeek.com or write to us at the address in the Contact section below.

Information We Collect

We collect two kinds of information: what you give us and what your browser sends us automatically.

From you. When you fill out a quote form or contact request, you provide details such as your name, email address, phone number, address, ZIP code and date of birth. For auto insurance, this includes your vehicle's make, model, year and vehicle identification number (VIN), your driving history including any tickets or DUI status, your insured status and your driver's license number.

If you registered for an account during an earlier version of our auto insurance tool, we hold the name, email address and state you provided at signup.

From your browser. When you visit the site, our servers and our analytics partners receive standard web data: IP address, device type, browser version, operating system, pages viewed, time on page and similar usage signals. We collect this data using cookies, pixels, tags and similar technologies.

We don't knowingly collect information from children under 16. The site is intended for adults. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, email privacy@moneygeek.com and we'll delete it.

Sensitive Information

Some of what you give us during an auto insurance quote counts as sensitive under state privacy laws, including tickets or DUI status. We collect this information for one reason: to route your quote request to the partners you asked to hear from.

We don't use sensitive information to build profiles about you, to infer characteristics beyond what your quote requires or to advertise. If you live in a state that gives you the right to limit how we use sensitive information, you can exercise it by emailing privacy@moneygeek.com with the subject line "Limit Sensitive Information." We already limit our use of this information to fulfilling your quote request, so there's nothing more to restrict.

We recommend you enter only what a quote asks for. Leave out sensitive details.

How We Use Your Information

We use what we collect to:

  • Respond to your quote requests and route them to the partners you asked to hear from
  • Provide the tools, calculators and content you came to the site for
  • Send service messages, replies to your questions and newsletter content you've signed up for
  • Measure how visitors use the site
  • Protect the site from fraud and other security threats
  • Meet our legal obligations

We don't use your information to make automated decisions that produce legal or otherwise serious effects about you.

How We Share Your Information

Quote and lead-form partners. When you submit a quote request, we transmit the information you entered to a lead aggregator and, in some flows, directly to insurance carriers, licensed agents or other comparison partners as you direct. Our primary auto insurance partner is QuinStreet. Once a partner receives your information, that partner's privacy policy governs how it uses your data. We don't receive your quote details back from these partners.

Service providers. We use outside companies for hosting, analytics, email delivery and customer support. They handle your information under written contracts that restrict them to using it on our behalf.

Legal and safety disclosures. We share information when the law requires it (such as a valid subpoena or court order) or when we need to investigate fraud, address a safety threat or defend our legal rights.

Acquisitions and business changes. If MoneyGeek.com is acquired, merged or sold, your information may transfer to the successor entity. At that time, you can opt out of further use through the mechanism described in 'Your Privacy Choices and Rights' below.

What we don't do. We don't sell your personal information or rent our email lists. Your information is never shared with outside companies for their own promotional use.

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, our transmission of your information to a lead partner at your direction is not a "sale" or "share" because you intentionally instructed us to disclose it for the purpose of receiving a quote. (See Cal. Civ. Code §1798.140(ah)(2)(A).)

Our Use of Artificial Intelligence

Our site uses AI and machine learning to help produce and improve content, tools and calculators, to analyze site usage and to detect fraud and abuse.

Personal information you submit through quote forms or contact requests is never used to train AI models.

No AI on this site makes automated decisions that produce legal or otherwise serious effects about you. Nothing our tools generate approves, denies or sets the price of any financial or insurance product. AI-assisted content is for general information only and isn't a substitute for advice from a licensed professional.

Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies (pixels, tags, local storage and web beacons) for:

  • Core site functions like session management and security
  • Performance and analytics so we can see which pages people use and where the site breaks
  • Advertising attribution and partner tracking
  • Preferences so the site remembers your settings

We measure site performance and user behavior through Google Analytics 4, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, Microsoft Clarity, PostHog, Vercel Speed Insights, Axiom and Everflow.

Microsoft Clarity. We partner with Microsoft Clarity and Microsoft Advertising to capture how you interact with our website through behavioral metrics, heatmaps and session replay, and use that data for site optimization, fraud and security purposes, and advertising. Microsoft Clarity captures data using first-party and third-party cookies and similar tracking technologies. For more information about how Microsoft collects and uses your data, visit the Microsoft Privacy Statement.

If you'd prefer that Microsoft Clarity not record your session, you can email privacy@moneygeek.com with the subject line "Opt Out of Session Recording" and we'll exclude your IP address from Clarity. You can also block Clarity directly in your browser by disabling third-party cookies or using a tracking-blocker extension.

If you've disabled cookies in your browser, parts of the site may not work as expected.

How We Protect Your Information

We use administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect the information you give us. Connections to our site are encrypted in transit. Access to personal information is limited to the people and systems that need it. We review our security practices as our tools and risks change.

No website or internet transmission is completely secure, and we can't guarantee your information is never accessed in ways we didn't intend. We work to prevent it and respond quickly when something goes wrong.

If you have a security concern or believe your information has been compromised, email us at privacy@moneygeek.com.

Your Privacy Choices and Rights

You have the following rights over the information we hold about you:

  • The right to know. Request a copy of the information we've collected, how we use it and who we share it with.
  • The right to delete. Request that we delete the information we hold about you. We may keep records we need to meet legal obligations, resolve disputes or prevent fraud.
  • The right to correct. Request that we fix information you believe is inaccurate.
  • The right to opt out of future sales or sharing. Even though we don't sell your information, you can instruct us to stop sharing it with our lead partners going forward. Email privacy@moneygeek.com with the subject line "Opt Out" and we'll honor your request for any information collected after we receive it. (We can't recall information already transmitted.)
  • The right to nondiscrimination. We won't deny you service, charge you a different price or give you a worse experience because you exercised any of these rights.

How to make a request. Email privacy@moneygeek.com or write to us at the address in the Contact section. We'll acknowledge your request within 10 business days and respond within 45 days. If we need more time, we'll tell you why and when to expect a response.

Verifying your identity. We'll ask you to confirm details before acting on a request to make sure someone else isn't asking for your information. If you submit through an authorized agent, we'll ask the agent for written proof of your authorization.

Global Privacy Control. Some browsers and extensions let you send a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal to opt out of data sales and sharing. We honor any GPC signal as an opt-out request for the browser that sends it.

Why we're allowed to use your information. We only collect and use your information with justification: you asked us to (like routing a quote), you gave us permission (like signing up for a newsletter), we have a legitimate business need (like measuring or securing the site), or the law requires it.

Where your information is handled. We're based in the United States and process your information here. Some service providers may process your information in other countries where they or their own providers operate. When that happens, we require those providers to meet the same data protection standards.

Supplemental Notice to Residents of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Virginia

If you live in one of the states above, you have additional rights under your state's privacy law. These include all the rights listed above plus, depending on your state, the right to appeal a decision we make about your privacy request to your state attorney general.

To exercise any of these rights, email privacy@moneygeek.com or write to us at the address in the Contact section. We'll respond within the timelines required by your state law.

Additional disclosures for California residents. California residents have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act and the California Privacy Rights Act. As described in "How We Share Your Information" above, our transmission of your information to a lead partner at your direction is not a "sale" or "share" under §1798.140(ah)(2)(A). We don't otherwise sell or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

In the past 12 months, we've collected the following categories of personal information: identifiers (name, email, phone, address), commercial information (services you've requested), internet activity (browsing data, page views), geolocation data (general location from IP), professional information (only when voluntarily submitted) and inferences drawn from the above to understand your preferences. We've shared identifiers, commercial information and the contents of your quote request with the lead partners you asked us to share them with. No personal information has been sold.

Additional disclosures for Colorado residents. If you live in Colorado, you may instruct us not to use your personal information for targeted advertising. We don't run such campaigns. For confirmation, email privacy@moneygeek.com.

Additional disclosures for Nevada residents. Nevada residents have a right to opt out of the sale of certain personal information. We don't sell personal information as defined under Nevada law. For confirmation, email privacy@moneygeek.com.

How Long We Keep Your Information

We delete personal information when we no longer need it for the reason you provided it. Different categories have different retention periods.

  • Quote and lead-form submissions: Six months from the date of submission.
  • Website usage and analytics data: 14 months in identifiable form. We retain aggregated and anonymized data (data that can no longer be linked to you) for longer periods to inform site improvements and internal research.
  • Account information for users who registered with our legacy auto insurance tool: retained until you request deletion.
  • Communications and support records: 24 months from the date of the communication.

When the retention period ends, we delete the information or de-identify it so it can no longer be linked to you. The deletion requirement above doesn't apply to data we've already aggregated or anonymized.

Links to Other Sites

MoneyGeek.com links to other websites, including those of our partners. Those sites have their own privacy policies. We don't control them and aren't responsible for what they do with information you give them. Read their policies before submitting anything.

Changes to This Policy

We update this policy as our practices change, when new laws require it or to improve clarity.

When we make a material change, we'll post the updated policy here, update the "Last updated" date at the top and notify you through a banner on the site.
