CALIFORNIA CONSUMER PRIVACY ACT DISCLOSURE
Last Updated August 12, 2022
Your privacy is important to us. This California Consumer Privacy Act Disclosure explains how QuoteHut and its subsidiaries (collectively, “we” or “us”) collect, use, disclose, and sell personal information relating to California residents that is subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”).
What is Personal Information?
Under the CCPA, “Personal Information” is information that identifies, relates to, or could reasonably be linked with a particular California resident or household. The CCPA, however, does not apply to certain information, such as information subject to certain federal privacy laws, like the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”) and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”). As a result, this disclosure does not apply to information that we collect about California residents who request or obtain our financial products and services for personal family or household purposes or for long-term care or individual health products. For more information about how we collect, disclose, and secure information in these and other contexts, please refer to our Privacy Center
