Case Studies

Case 1: Allprovince Insurance

Allprovince is an insurance company which provides a variety of products, including life insurance and automotive insurance. To help determine the rates which customers will pay, Allprovince purchases data from several third party companies. One third party company sells customer-specific search-engine browser history to Allprovince. Allprovince mines this data for health-related key words, doctor/hospital visits, and other medically-related information. Allprovince then charges customers with increased likelihood of health issues a higher rate for life insurance. They do this to compensate for the increased likelihood of mortality so that the insurance company can stay in business. Another third party sells customer-specific vehicle location and speed information recorded from the on-board GPS system of their vehicle. Allprovince gives higher rates to customers that drive at higher speeds, accelerate more quickly, and drive in areas with a higher known rate of accidents.
