3. Sale and Sharing of Personal Information

InsideCalifornia is a lead generation service. By submitting a form on this Site, you acknowledge and agree that we may sell your personal information to third-party partners for monetary or other valuable consideration. These partners may include, but are not limited to:

These third parties operate under their own privacy policies and are independently responsible for their data practices. We do not control how they use your information after it is sold or shared.

For the purposes of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), these transfers of personal information constitute a "sale." You have the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information. See Section 5 below or visit our Do Not Sell My Personal Information page.

This consent is not a condition of any purchase.

Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency may vary.

To opt out: You may opt out of receiving text messages at any time by replying STOP to any text message you receive from us. To opt out of phone calls, you may inform the caller directly or contact us at [email protected]. Please allow up to 10 business days for opt-out requests to take effect.
