Privacy Policy

Define News ("we," "us," or "our") publishes independent money and consumer analysis. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through this website, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this site, you agree to the practices described below.

Who we are

Define News is a money and consumer analysis publication. We are not an insurance carrier, agency, or broker, and we do not issue policies or provide insurance quotes. Some pages on this site are clearly labeled advertisements or sponsored content that link to independent third-party partners. Those partners operate their own websites under their own privacy policies, which we do not control.

Information we collect

• Information you provide: if you contact us by email, we receive your message and email address.
• Automatically collected data: standard log data such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, and pages viewed.
• Cookies and similar technologies: used to measure traffic, understand which articles are read, and improve the site.

We do not collect Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, or insurance application details on this website. Form fields shown inside sponsored content (such as a ZIP code field) do not transmit or store data on this site; they open the relevant partner's tool. If you choose to click through to a third-party partner and submit a quote request there, any information you enter is collected by that partner under their own privacy policy and terms.

How we use information

• To operate, maintain, and improve this website and our content.
• To understand which articles and topics readers find useful.
• To measure the performance of advertisements and sponsored content.
• To respond to messages you send us.

Advertising and third-party links

This site contains advertisements and sponsored content. When you click a sponsored call-to-action, you leave Define News and go to an independent partner's website. We may receive compensation when readers click through or request a quote from a partner. We are not responsible for the content, products, services, or privacy practices of those third parties. Please review each partner's privacy policy and terms before submitting any information.

Do Not Call / consent to be contacted

Define News does not call consumers. If you submit your information to a third-party partner, you may be contacted by licensed agents about insurance quotes, including by phone, even if your number is on a federal or state Do Not Call list, in accordance with the consent you provide on that partner's site. Consent to be contacted is not a condition of any purchase, and that consent is given to the partner, not to Define News.
