Sharing data with carriers when searching for plans
WhistleOut’s internet coverage check requires that we verify serviceability at your address with carriers. When you click to purchase, we only pass verified addresses to a carrier and your address is loaded into the carrier’s shopping cart so that you can easily complete the purchase.
As part of California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) you are able to select that we do not sell this data to the carrier - this will also prevent us from validating your coverage with a carrier and setting up the address with the carrier if you choose to purchase.
