Allstate

A public insurance company selling auto, home, renters, life, and other insurance products. Allstate belongs in insurance comparisons, but its shareholder governance and telematics-data controversy make it a poor privacy and power-relations case relative to mutual insurers.

Why this matters: Auto-insurance shoppers need to see how privacy-invasive rating systems affect the moral comparison between insurers.

Scoring Axes

Axis	Score	Why this score
Ownership ? Control rights: shareholder-dominated at 0, worker cooperative control at 10.	1 / 10	Allstate is a shareholder-governed public company, so formal control sits with investors and management rather than policyholders. Allstate is a shareholder-governed public company, so formal control sits with investors and management rather than policyholders.

[3] context Allstate's telematics and data-sharing controversy shows that customers may not have a clear practical understanding of how driving data is collected, monetized, or used in insurance pricing. [4] context Allstate offers useful risk pooling, but insurance pricing, claims, telematics, and underwriting leave customers in a structurally weaker position than policyholder-controlled or more transparent mutual alternatives.

Labor Sovereignty ? Worker power: coercive conditions at 0, co-determination or ownership at 7.

Allstate offers useful risk pooling, but insurance pricing, claims, telematics, and underwriting leave customers in a structurally weaker position than policyholder-controlled or more transparent mutual alternatives.

Penalties

Penalty	Applied	Why this penalty
