3 findings, in full

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

Sharing State Farm collects your driving record, claim history and credit information from outside agencies

What this means

State Farm says it gathers customer information from parties other than State Farm, including consumer reporting agencies, covering driving records, claim histories and credit information.

Location Privacy control available Precise trip location follows joining Drive Safe & Save, Steer Clear, or installing the app

What this means

State Farm says precise location data is used to accurately record trip information where a user participates in and grants permissions for Drive Safe & Save or Steer Clear, or has installed the State Farm mobile application.

If a user participates in and grants permissions for Drive Safe & Save or Steer Clear, or has installed the State Farm mobile application, precise location data is used to accurately record trip information.

Why this matters

The condition is doing real work here: trip-level location follows from an optional program or from the app, not from holding a policy.

What the policy says

If you participate in and grant permissions for Drive Safe & Save® or Steer Clear® or have installed the State Farm mobile application, precise location data is used to accurately record trip information. In addition, the State Farm mobile application utilizes precise location to provide services such as requesting roadside assistance, filing a claim, searching for agents and repair shops.

Sensitive Data State Farm does not share medical information among its companies unless one of three conditions applies

What this means

The three conditions State Farm names are that you authorize the sharing, that it is required by law, or that your insurance contract permits it.

State Farm does not share customer medical information within the State Farm family of companies unless you authorize it, it is required by law, or your insurance contract permits it.

Why this matters

A limit with three exceptions is still a limit, and knowing the exceptions is what tells you when it stops applying.

What the policy says

We do not share customer medical information within the State Farm family of companies unless: you expressly authorize it; or it is permitted or required by law; or your insurance policy contract with us permits us to do so.
