Data Privacy
Our comprehensive data governance framework, consumer privacy protections, and statutory data rights.
Last Updated: September 2026 · Effective Date: September 2026
1. Data Governance & Protection Framework
ShieldSure Auto and AltFTool operate under stringent data governance standards to safeguard consumer financial, vehicle, and identity records. We adhere to applicable regional, state, and federal consumer privacy statutes.
Our framework guarantees that data submitted through our auto quote flows is handled with integrity, purpose limitation, and encryption throughout its lifecycle.
2. Core Data Privacy Principles
Our handling of driver and insurance inquiry records is guided by four fundamental principles:
- Purpose Limitation: Data is collected exclusively to connect you with certified insurance clients, vendors, and licensed professionals.
- Data Minimization: We only ask for information strictly required to generate accurate auto insurance estimates.
- Confidentiality & Integrity: Information is encrypted in transit and at rest using modern AES-256 and TLS protocols.
- Accountability: Regular compliance audits ensure partners respect consumer communication preferences and privacy requests.
3. State-Specific Consumer Privacy Rights
Depending on your state of residence (including California CCPA/CPRA, Virginia VCDPA, Colorado CPA, Texas TDPSA, and other state laws), you may have specific statutory rights concerning your personal data:
- Right to Know & Access: Learn what categories of vehicle, contact, and quote data have been collected.
- Right to Delete: Request complete erasure of your submitted contact records from our active referral database.
- Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing: Instruct us not to share your data for cross-context behavioral advertising.
- Right to Non-Discrimination: You will not be denied access or charged different rates for exercising your privacy rights.
4. Data Retention & Destruction
Inquiry records are retained only as long as necessary to fulfill referral services, facilitate customer support, and satisfy statutory recordkeeping requirements. Inactive records are systematically purged or anonymized.
5. How to Submit a Data Privacy Request
To submit an official Data Privacy Request, verification request, or deletion inquiry, please reach out to our dedicated Data Governance team with your full name, email address, and state of residence.
