Hippo does not protect personal information, they will harass you.

After entering my ID into the hippo site, i was surprised to see all my personal information automatically pre-populated. Why do they already have this? On this screen, it says your personal information is protected. I continued with the details, and got a view of quotes from many insurance providers.

I did not click on any of them, nor did i agree to be contacted. The next morning, I'm being called by HIPPO, not any of the insurance providers. I cannot believe that hippo is actively bypassing popi and direct marketing laws. Clearly they know about it, as evidenced from the many complaints here on hello peter. I will be reaching out to the relevent ombudsmans, this is just not on!

Reviewer Update
"We have only contacted you twice" makes it sounds like you're okay with this. Your website says my personal information is protected, you also gave me the option to be contacted which I declined.
You should never be contacting me to begin with, not waiting for a complaint first to put me on your do not contact list. I won't ever be using yor services again.
