Homeowners Protection Center ("we," "us," or "our") is a marketing and lead generation service owned and operated by Insurance Lead Company LLC. Our platform is designed to connect consumers who are interested in learning about mortgage protection insurance with independent, licensed insurance agents and agencies who may be able to assist them.
Neither Homeowners Protection Center nor Insurance Lead Company LLC is an insurance company. We do not sell insurance, issue policies, provide quotes, or make coverage decisions of any kind. Any insurance products or services you may receive as a result of using this site are provided entirely by independent, licensed insurance professionals.
This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we may collect, how we use and share it, and what rights and choices you have. By using this website or submitting information through it, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1. Who We Are and What We Do
Homeowners Protection Center is a consumer-facing marketing platform operated by Insurance Lead Company LLC, a lead generation and marketing services company. Our role is to provide educational information about mortgage protection insurance and to connect interested consumers with licensed insurance professionals who can answer their questions and offer guidance.
When you submit your information through this website, you are not purchasing insurance, applying for coverage, or entering into any agreement with us. You are simply indicating interest in learning more, and we may use that information to facilitate a connection with one or more licensed insurance agents or agencies.
Insurance Lead Company LLC and Homeowners Protection Center are not affiliated with any specific insurance carrier. We operate independently and may work with multiple agent partners across various states.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information in two ways: information you voluntarily provide to us, and information collected automatically when you visit this website.

When you submit a form or request to be connected with a licensed professional, we may collect the following:
- First and last name

- Phone number (including mobile)
- Mailing address or ZIP code
- Homeownership status, mortgage status, or other relevant details you choose to share
- Any other information you voluntarily include in a form or message
Information Collected Automatically
When you browse this website, we and our third-party service providers may automatically collect certain technical information, including:
- IP address and approximate geographic location
- Browser type, version, and device information
- Pages visited and time spent on the site
- Referring URLs and traffic source data
- Cookie identifiers and advertising pixel data
This automatically collected data does not directly identify you, but may be combined with other information we hold. See Section 6 for more details on cookies and tracking.

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To connect you with one or more independent, licensed insurance agents or agencies who may be able to assist you with mortgage protection insurance

- To measure the performance of our marketing and advertising campaigns
- To comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal obligations
- To detect and prevent fraudulent activity or misuse of this platform
We do not use your information to make automated decisions about your insurance eligibility, pricing, or coverage. Those determinations are made solely by licensed agents or carriers based on their own underwriting guidelines.
4. Consent to Be Contacted — TCPA Notice
By submitting your information through this website, you understand and agree that Homeowners Protection Center, Insurance Lead Company LLC, and/or one or more of their licensed insurance agent partners may contact you regarding mortgage protection insurance and related products or services. This contact may occur via:
- Telephone calls, including calls to a mobile phone number

- Automated dialing systems or prerecorded voice messages, where permitted by law
You are not required to provide consent as a condition of purchasing any goods or services. You may choose to be contacted by other means or to not be contacted at all. Your participation is entirely voluntary.
Message and data rates may apply for text messages sent to your mobile device. Message frequency may vary depending on the agent or agency contacting you.
You may opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP to any text message you receive. You may opt out of email communications by clicking the unsubscribe link included in any email. You may also contact us directly at [email protected] to request that we stop contacting you.

5. How We Share Your Information
Homeowners Protection Center and Insurance Lead Company LLC may share your personal information in the following ways:
Licensed Insurance Agents and Agencies
When you submit a request for information or a connection through this website, your information may be shared with one or more independent, licensed insurance agents, agencies, or marketing partners who specialize in mortgage protection insurance and related products. These are not agents or employees of Insurance Lead Company LLC. They are independent professionals who operate under their own business entities and are governed by their own data practices and privacy policies.
Your information may be shared with multiple agent partners, not just a single provider. Each partner who receives your information may follow up with you independently regarding insurance-related products or services.
Service Providers and Technology Partners
We may share information with third-party vendors and service providers who assist us in operating this website, managing our platform, processing data, or running our advertising campaigns. These providers are contractually required to use your information only as directed by us and to maintain appropriate security measures.
Advertising and Analytics Partners
We may share or make available certain information with advertising platforms such as Meta (Facebook) and Google for the purposes of running targeted advertising campaigns, measuring ad performance, and building audience segments. This may involve the use of pixel tracking, hashed data, or similar technologies. See Section 6 for more detail.
Legal Requirements
We may disclose your information when required to do so by law, court order, or regulatory authority, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
Business Transfers
If Insurance Lead Company LLC is involved in a merger, acquisition, asset sale, or similar business transaction, your personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you if your information becomes subject to a materially different privacy policy.
We do not sell your personal information to unrelated third parties for purposes having nothing to do with insurance or the services described on this site. However, sharing information with agent partners as described above may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" under certain state privacy laws. See Section 10 for California-specific rights.

7. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as is reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. Once information is no longer needed for these purposes, we take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it.
If you request that we delete your information, we will make reasonable efforts to honor that request in a timely manner, subject to any legal obligations that may require us to retain certain records.

We do not guarantee that you will be eligible for any insurance product, that you will receive a quote, or that any agent will be able to assist you. All coverage decisions, eligibility determinations, pricing, and policy terms are made solely by the independent licensed agents or carriers you are connected with, based on their own underwriting criteria and state regulations.
