CEO of Cover here. This is super surprising, as we sell our own policies + own a national insurance brokerage. No need to share/sell your information at all (nor would we, as a matter of principle), because we have access to most carriers in the US. We'd prefer to sell you a Cover policy or one from our partner panel that can be managed via our service.

Do you mind sharing which companies sent you physical mail? I'm at karn at cover.com. Would be great to dig in.

I don't remember exactly since this was a year o more ago. A lot of companies! I only remember talking with the Cover agent via text message.

I was quoting for basic Renter's Insurance. She gave me a price of 125/year which was too much since I only need it super basic insurance and both Lemonade and Assurant give you that for half. Anyway. Not a big deal. Exactly one week after that I started getting junk mail from insurance companies.

I never quoted with anyone else besides Cover. I bought from Assurant after quoting with Cover. Cover was the only possible culprit for that burst of junk mail.

I don't know how you guys share data with other companies or vendors but definitely something happened in the way my info was handled. The timing between that interaction and the correspondence I started getting made it pretty evident.
