Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 18, 2026 · Operated by AWIS

This Privacy Policy describes how AWIS ("we," "us," "our"), a licensed California insurance agency, collects, uses, and shares information when you use californiacoveragequotes.com (the "Site"). This Site is a quote-request website owned and operated by AWIS.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide: when you request a quote we collect the information you enter, which may include your name, phone number, email address, ZIP code, vehicle information, current insurance status, coverage preferences, and answers to situation questions (for example, SR-22 status or driver details).

Information collected automatically: IP address, browser and device information, the page you submitted from, and timestamps. We use this to operate the Site, prevent abuse, and maintain records of consent.

We do not collect payment card information on this Site.

2. How We Use Your Information

To prepare insurance quotes for you by submitting your information to multiple insurance carriers;
To contact you about your quote request and insurance products, consistent with the consent you provide (including by phone call, SMS/MMS text message — including automated technology and prerecorded messages — and email);
To maintain records of your consent (including the consent text shown, timestamp, and browser information), retained for up to 5 years for TCPA compliance and legal purposes;
To operate, secure, and improve the Site and comply with law.

3. Communications Disclosure (TCPA)

Consent to be contacted is not a condition of purchasing insurance. Message and data rates may apply. You may opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP, and may revoke consent by contacting us using the details below. Phone calls may be recorded for quality assurance, compliance, and training; call recording is disclosed at the start of calls as required by California law.

4. How We Share Information

Insurance carriers and rating platforms — to obtain the quotes you requested; carriers use your information under their own privacy policies;
Service providers — hosting, communications, and technology vendors who process information on our behalf;
Legal and regulatory — when required by law, subpoena, or the California Department of Insurance;
Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

We do not sell your personal information for monetary consideration. Your quote request is handled by our agency — it is not auctioned or resold to third-party lead buyers.

5. Your California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

California residents have the right to: know the personal information we collect and how it is used; delete personal information (subject to legal retention requirements); correct inaccurate information; opt out of any sale or sharing of personal information; limit the use of sensitive personal information; and not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.

To exercise your rights: email [email protected]. We will verify your identity before fulfilling requests.

6. Sensitive Personal Information

Quoting may involve information such as driver's license details and driving history. We use this information only to obtain insurance quotes and service your request — not for inferring characteristics or for unrelated marketing.

7. Retention & Security

We retain quote and consent records as required for insurance regulatory and TCPA compliance purposes (consent records up to 5 years) and use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect information.

8. Children

This Site is not directed to individuals under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their information.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Continued use of the Site after changes indicates acceptance.
