CCPA Notice for California Residents
This notice supplements our Privacy Policy and explains the rights available to California residents under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).
Effective & last updated: July 19, 20261. Who This Notice Covers
This CCPA Notice applies to California residents who visit americansautoquotes.com or submit a quote request to Americans Auto Quotes. It describes the categories of personal information we collect, why we collect it, whom we share it with, and the rights available to you under California law.
2. Categories of Personal Information We Collect
In the preceding 12 months, we have collected the following categories of personal information, as defined by the CCPA:
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Identifiers | Name, phone number, email address, mailing address, IP address |
| Customer records | Contact details you provide on the quote request form |
| Commercial information | Insurance products you inquire about, current carrier (if shared) |
| Internet/network activity | Pages visited, referring URL, browser/device data, cookie identifiers |
| Geolocation data | State and ZIP code associated with your request |
| Audio/electronic records | Call recordings and chat transcripts, where permitted by law |
| Inferences | Inferences about which carriers or coverage types may interest you |
3. Sources of Personal Information
We collect personal information directly from you when you complete the quote request form, and automatically through cookies and similar technologies when you use the Site. We may also receive information from marketing affiliates who refer you to the Site.
4. Purposes for Collection & Disclosure
We collect and disclose personal information to match you with licensed insurance agents and carriers, route your request to marketing partners, operate and improve the Site, communicate with you, document TCPA/telemarketing consent, and comply with legal obligations, as described in more detail in our Privacy Policy.
5. Selling & Sharing of Personal Information
Because Americans Auto Quotes is a lead-generation and comparison marketing site, when you submit a quote request we disclose your identifiers and commercial information to insurance carriers, agencies, and marketing partners in exchange for compensation. This disclosure may be considered a "sale" and/or "sharing" of personal information under the CCPA. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers we know to be under 16 years of age.
6. Your California Privacy Rights
Subject to certain exceptions, California residents have the right to:
- Know what personal information we have collected, used, disclosed, and sold or shared about you;
- Delete personal information we have collected from you;
- Correct inaccurate personal information we maintain about you;
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information; and
- Limit the use of sensitive personal information, to the extent applicable.
7. How to Exercise Your Rights
To submit a request to know, delete, correct, or opt out, you may:
- Call us at (800) 555-0142 (Mon–Fri, 9am–6pm local time); or
- Submit a request through our Opt-Out Policy page.
We will respond to verifiable consumer requests within the timeframes required by law, generally within 45 days.
8. Authorized Agents
You may designate an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf. We may require the agent to provide proof of authorization and may still require you to directly verify your identity.
9. Verification Process
To protect your information, we will take steps to verify your identity before fulfilling a request to know, delete, or correct — typically by matching the information you provide (such as name and phone number) against the information already in our records.
10. Right to Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Exercising your rights will not affect your ability to request an insurance quote through the Site.
