In compliance with CCPA:
- California residents can request access, correction, or deletion of their personal information.
- Requests are processed within 45 days, respecting all consumer rights under CCPA.
Univista does not sell personal information and shares data only with affiliated entities or necessary third parties. Data shared may include communication details for service updates or transactional SMS messages.
5. Opt-Out and Data Processing Preferences for SMS
Univista Insurance provides various options for managing SMS and other communication preferences:
- Email Unsubscribe: Each marketing email contains a link to withdraw consent.
- SMS Opt-Out: Each SMS includes an opt-out mechanism (e.g., “Reply STOP to unsubscribe”) to allow users to easily withdraw consent for further SMS messages.
- Direct Requests: Individuals can contact customer support through the website or call to be removed from Univista’s records.
6. Processing and Compliance Audits
