@gilsadis, in response to your request for information above: As others related, this isn't a bug report. This is about the design of your conversion funnel and the appropriateness of what levels of information I will consent to offering while your site is attempting to build a relationship with me. When you don't know me, you can have my zip code. Show me some awesome rates based on my zip code, and maybe then I'll give you my name or email address. I don't want to leave mouse droppings of personal information all over the internet unless I am intent on engaging with your company. Got it? And here's the truth. I am in the process of examining and amending my insurance coverage because we are deleting a car. So you lost a qualified hot lead. So hand that data to your hippo.

They run a credit check to determine your premium (in part). So yeah, they need your name... https://lemonade.com/faq#general https://lemonade.com/faq#general

  They need more than my name to run a credit check. They need something they're not going to get, which is my SSN.

    No they don't. They use https://www.transunion.com/product/truerisk https://www.transunion.com/product/truerisk No SS needed.

    No need for an SSN to run a credit check. No one in their right mind would give an SSN.

      Yeah I don't get this SSN thing: - If it's so secret, why is it not called "password"? Why is it printed on your id card for anyone to see? Why do many organizations require it? - If it's used in so many places, how is it expected to prove anything about your identity? It's identification (i.e. which row in the government's citizens database), not authentication. Every employer wants my SSN. Every time I interact with the government, they want my SSN. It's in way too many places to be secret (like a PIN is), and besides, the government never told me it's secret. The government's info page about it and Wikipedia don't say anything about not giving it to anyone who asks for it.
