Last Updated: January 18, 2026
Overview and Scope
This Privacy Policy explains how New York Motor Insurance (“NYMI,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit or interact with NewYorkMotorInsurance.com (the “Site”). It also describes the choices you may have about that information.
This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through the Site and related communications (for example, emails you send to us). It does not apply to third-party websites, apps, or services that may be linked from the Site. Your use of the Site is also subject to our Terms of Use.
Note: We publish informational content and may offer tools or forms that let you request information from third parties (such as insurance providers or agents). When you choose to use those tools, additional sharing may occur as described below.
Information We Collect
Information You Provide to Us
You may choose to provide information such as your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, ZIP code, and any details you include in a message or form submission (for example, information about your insurance needs or vehicle-related details you share).
If the Site offers quote requests or referral forms, you may provide additional details needed to route your request to third parties (for example, driver or vehicle details). You are not required to provide this information to browse the Site, but some features may not work without it.
Information We Collect Automatically
When you use the Site, we (and vendors we use) may automatically collect certain technical and usage information, such as:
- IP address and approximate location derived from IP
- Device identifiers, browser type, operating system, and language settings
- Pages viewed, time spent, referring/exit pages, clickstream data, and interactions with content
- Cookie identifiers and similar tracking signals
Information from Third Parties
We may receive information from third parties such as analytics providers, advertising networks, social platforms (if you interact with our social content), or business partners that help us operate the Site. We may also receive information from third parties if you choose to engage with them through the Site (for example, when you request quotes or information).

- Provide customer support and respond to inquiries
- Process and route quote or information requests you submit
- Send administrative messages (for example, changes to policies or notices)
- Send newsletters or marketing messages (where permitted and where you opt in or do not opt out)

How We Share Information
We may share information in the following situations:
- Service providers. Vendors that help us run the Site (hosting, analytics, security, email delivery, and similar functions). They are permitted to use information only to perform services for us.
- Quote and information request partners. If you submit a quote request or a request to be connected with third parties, we may share the information you provide with insurance companies, agents, lead platforms, or other partners that can respond to your request.
- Advertising and measurement partners. Where used, these partners may collect or receive device/usage data to measure ad performance and provide interest-based advertising.
- Legal and safety. If we believe disclosure is necessary to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, protect rights and safety, investigate fraud, or enforce policies.
- Business transfers. In connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
- Aggregated or de-identified data. We may share information that has been aggregated or de-identified so it cannot reasonably be used to identify you.
Important note about quote requests: When you choose to submit a quote or referral request, the partners you are matched with may contact you directly (including by phone, text, or email) to provide quotes or follow up. Their use of your information is governed by their own privacy practices and notices.
Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising
We and our partners may use cookies, web beacons, SDKs, pixels, and similar technologies to operate the Site, remember preferences, understand usage, and measure advertising performance. Some of these technologies are controlled by third parties.
You can manage cookies through your browser settings (including blocking or deleting cookies). If you block cookies, some Site features may not function properly.
Depending on your device and settings, you may also be able to opt out of certain interest-based advertising using industry tools such as:

- YourAdChoices controls: https://youradchoices.com/control
- Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt-out information: https://thenai.org/how-to-opt-out/
Global Privacy Control (GPC): Some jurisdictions recognize browser-based opt-out preference signals (such as GPC). If you have enabled a recognized signal, we will process it as an opt-out request where required by applicable law and where we can reasonably associate the signal with your browser or device.

Note: Some advertising opt-outs are cookie-based and may reset if you clear cookies, use a different browser, or change devices.
