We want you to understand how we protect your privacy and when we collect, use, and share information.

information about your transactions

We may collect Information about your transactions and experiences with us and others, such as your payment history, claims, coverage, and vehicle changes.

information from third parties

We may receive Information about you from consumer reporting agencies, which provide us with motor vehicle reports, claim reports, and/or credit information where permitted by law. When you ask for a rate quotation, we may obtain credit information if permitted by applicable state law.

Our sales and service representatives do not have access to the details of your credit information. Other companies who view your credit report will not see the TITANIUM RISK inquiry. It will be visible only to you. Our inquiry will not affect your credit score or credit rating. If you commit to purchase a policy with TITANIUM RISK, we will also confirm your motor vehicle record and claims history. As permitted by law, we may also review your motor vehicle record, claims history, and/or credit information in connection with any renewal.

location services

Your current location is only collected and used by us if you permit our services to do so. If you allow your location to be collected using a TITANIUM RISK app, or with a browser, we will use this information to determine your estimated location. We use this information to distinguish your current location and provide location-related services to you.

If you are a resident of Arizona, California, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Maine, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oregon, or Virginia, you have the right to request access to and correction of the personal information that we have collected from or about you. To do so, simply contact TITANIUM RISK's customer service department. If you'd like to correct information that you provided to us, our representative will make the appropriate adjustments to TITANIUM RISK's records. If you wish to correct personal information provided to TITANIUM RISK by a third party (such as a credit rating agency) the representative will provide you with the applicable third party's contact information. Upon the request of residents of other states, we will take reasonable steps to verify the accuracy of the personal information in our records.
