This supplemental privacy notice ("Notice") explains your rights as a California consumer regarding personal information that is subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA"). This Notice, which supplements the information contained in our Privacy Policy about Esurance's general privacy practices, applies only to California residents.

This Notice only describes Esurance's privacy practices with regard to personal information that is subject to the CCPA ("CCPA Information").

This includes personal information collected, used, and shared in connection with getting an insurance quote, submitting an application for insurance, issuing or managing a policy, and servicing a claim. The Privacy Policy also includes other information about Esurance's privacy practices generally.
