Progressive 2

Their Privacy Policy is a lie! I signed up with progressive after having returned from being overseas for the past three years. I'm very protective of my personal information. No business knows my name let along my new address -- except Progressive. Four days later the junk mail begins, first from "Travelers". On the Progressive website they claim, "We don't sell our customer lists or share your information with other companies to offer their products to you. You don't need to "opt-out." LIE!! In the fine print they say, "We will share information about you only as permitted by law. We will not share your Nonpublic Personal Information with other companies for their marketing purposes without your consent. There is no need to "opt out" or tell us not to do this." LIE!! Here is the twist... Apparently they consider my full name and address is to be public information and enter it into their spam machinery of "Recipients include, for example, our family of insurance companies..." SHAME ON YOU PROGRESSIVE!!

actually they do not give out your personal information. They state they will not share your "non public" information" like your SSN, credit info, etc....but your name and address ( by any definition) is public information.....so any company that you are receiving info from can pull that on their own...you apply for a credit card, you start getting offers, you sign up for a magazine, you start getting other offers....it's a public database.....
