The first 3 of this report’s 15 key findings, complete — claim, reasoning, and the policy’s own wording.

Sharing Allstate or its ad providers may share and combine your online activity with unrelated sites' data

What this means

Allstate says it or its advertising providers may share online activity information with third-party advertising companies, or allow those companies to collect it via cookies, and combine it with data from other unrelated sites to serve targeted advertising.

Allstate or its advertising providers may share your online activity information with third-party advertising companies, or allow those companies to collect it via cookies, and combine it with data from other unrelated sites to serve targeted advertising.

Why this matters

The joining step is what turns a visit to one site into a profile built out of many.

What the policy says

With some of our Sites, we provide information about your online activities to third-party advertising companies or allow those advertising companies to collect the information using cookies and similar technologies, and allow the advertising companies to combine that information with information they collect on other unrelated sites to provide you with relevant, targeted advertising.

Controls & Permissions Clearing your cookies erases the advertising opt-out you set with Allstate

What this means

Allstate states that clearing your cookies or browsing history will erase your advertising opt-out selection.

Clearing your cookies or browsing history will erase your advertising opt-out selection.

Why this matters

The opt-out is kept in the same place as the tracking, so the routine act of clearing your browser undoes it.

What the policy says

Also, clearing cookies or browsing history will erase your opt-out selection. You may continue to see generic or non-targeted ads about our products and services if you opt-out of sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted online advertising.

Camera & Photos Allstate may collect audio, photo and video information about you

What this means

Allstate names audio, photo and video -- together, multimedia information -- as a category it may collect.

Allstate may collect audio, photo, and video (multimedia) information.

Why this matters

A category this wide is worth noticing precisely because the notice does not say where any of it comes from.

What the policy says

Fingerprint, voice print, retinal print, scan of hand or facial geometry, audio, electronic, visual (photo and video), or similar information.
