At a some point, I did opt into this program with an insurance company in exchange for reduced rates.

Driving was considered “A” rated but eventually opted out. The $10-12 per month saved was not really worth it.

Their tos and privacy policy indicate it would only be used for internal rating and wouldn’t be shared. But wouldn’t be surprised if the data ended up being available to other insurance agencies via a data broker.

Wish there was a way to check.

Thanks, seems to be the primary way most insurance companies share this type of data (accidents, claims).

At least I have peace of mind with 1 of these companies.
