This is complete nonsense and entirely speculative. They admit as much when they inform you they can find no evidence of any individual underwriting decision being made based on this data, which the companies strongly deny, and would be illegal. Insurance is highly regulated, both on a state and federal level. Pricing algorithms and variables are public in most states (albeit obfuscated).
What does seem to be happening is the companies are using third party data providers for marketing and market analysis, as literally every other company from your local HVAC guy to McDonald's does.
