4. WHO WILL YOUR INFORMATION BE SHARED WITH?
We
share and disclose your information with the following categories of third
parties:
·
Service providers that help with
parts of our business operations, such as fraud prevention, servicing,
collection, marketing, technology services, product development, and
nonaffiliated financial institutions that we partner with to market or provide
financial products or services to you;
·
Credit reporting agencies, as
permitted by law;
·
Companies we may merge with or be
acquired by, or companies where we may sell, divest or transfer all or a
portion of our products and/or services;
·
Law enforcement, government
officials, or other third parties when: (1) we are compelled to do so by a
subpoena, court order or similar legal procedure; (2) we need to do so to
comply with law; or (3) if we believe in good faith that the disclosure of your
personal information is necessary to prevent harm or loss or to report
suspected illegal activity; and
·
Other third parties, if you consent
or direct us to do so, to fulfill the purpose for which you provided the
information, or for any other purpose that we disclosed when you provided the
information.
5. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?
In
Short: We keep your information for
as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy notice
unless otherwise required by law.
We
will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the
purposes set out in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is
required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting or other legal
requirements).
When
we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal
information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this
is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored
in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and
isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
6. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?
In
Short: We aim to protect your
personal information through a system of organizational and technical security
measures.
We
have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures
designed to protect the security of any personal information we process.
However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no
electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can
be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that
hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able
to defeat our security, and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your
information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information,
transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own
risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.
The
safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have
given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of
our Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We
ask you not to share your password with anyone.
7. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?
In
Short: We do not knowingly collect
data from or market to children under 18 years of age.
We
do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under 18 years of age.
By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are
the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent's
use of the Services. If we learn that personal information from users less than
18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take
reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you
become aware of any data we may have collected from children under age 18,
please contact us at [email protected].
8. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?

or terminate your account, you can:
Upon
your request to terminate your account, we will deactivate or delete your
account and information from our active databases. However, we may retain some
information in our files to prevent fraud, troubleshoot problems, assist with
any investigations, enforce our Terms of Use and/or comply with applicable
legal requirements.
Opting
out of email marketing: You can unsubscribe from our
marketing email list at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the
emails that we send or by contacting us using the details provided below. You
will then be removed from the marketing email list — however, we may still
communicate with you, for example to send you service-related emails that are
necessary for the administration and use of your account, to respond to service
requests, or for other non-marketing purposes.
9. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
Most
web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include
a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal
your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities
monitored and collected. At this stage no uniform technology standard for
recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not
currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that
automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard
for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will
inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy
notice.
10. DO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS?
In
Short: Yes, if you are a resident of California,
you are granted specific rights regarding access to your personal information.
If
you are a California resident, California law provides you with additional
rights and choices related to your personal information. This California
Privacy Rights section supplements other information in this Privacy Policy.
This California Privacy Rights section applies only to Site visitors, users,
and others who reside in the State of California. We are using this California

account with a Service, you have the right to request removal of unwanted data
that you publicly post on the Services. To request removal of such data, please
contact us using the contact information provided below, and include the email
address associated with your account and a statement that you reside in
California. We will make sure the data is not publicly displayed on the
Services, but please be aware that the data may not be completely or
comprehensively removed from all our systems (e.g. backups, etc.).

Your
rights with respect to your personal data
The
CCPA provides California residents with specific rights regarding their
personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how
to exercise those rights.
Right
to request deletion of the data - Request to delete
You
can ask for the deletion of your personal information that we have collected and
retained. If you ask us to delete your personal information, we will respect
your request and delete your personal information, subject to certain
exceptions provided by law, such as (but not limited to) the exercise by
another consumer of his or her right to free speech, our compliance
requirements resulting from a legal obligation or any processing that may be
required to protect against illegal activities.
Right
to be informed - Request to know
Depending
on the circumstances, you have a right to know:
You
also have a right to request the specific pieces of personal information we
collected about you (also called a data portability request).
In
accordance with applicable law, we are not obligated to provide or delete
consumer information that is de-identified in response to a consumer request or
to re-identify individual data to verify a consumer request.
Right
to Non-Discrimination for the Exercise of a Consumer's Privacy Rights
We
will not discriminate against you if you exercise your privacy rights. Exercising
your Rights to Know or Delete
To
exercise your rights to know described above, please submit a request by
emailing us at [email protected]
or by mailing us at the contact information found below.
To
exercise your rights to delete described above, please submit a request by
emailing us at [email protected]
or by mailing us at the contact information found below.
Only
you, or someone authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request to know or
delete related to your personal information. You may only submit a request to
know twice within a 12-month period.
Your
request to know or delete must:
·
Provide sufficient information that
allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected
personal information or an authorized representative.
·
Describe your request with
sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond
to it.
We will confirm receipt of your request to know or delete
within 10 business days. If you do not receive confirmation within the 10-day
timeframe, please contact [email protected].
We will endeavor to substantively respond to your verifiable consumer request
within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to another 45 days),
we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.
If
you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that
account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written
response by mail or electronically, at your option.
Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month
period preceding our receipt of your request. The response we provide will also
explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data
portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal
information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the
information from one entity to another without hindrance, specifically PDF,
CSV, or EXCEL formats.
We
do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request
unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine
that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and
provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
Verification
process
Upon
receiving your request, we will need to verify your identity to determine you
are the same person about whom we have the information in our system. These
verification efforts require us to ask you to provide information so that we
can match it with information you have previously provided us. For instance,
depending on the type of request you submit, we may ask you to provide certain
information so that we can match the information you provide with the
information we already have on file, or we may contact you through a
communication method (e.g. phone or email) that you have previously provided to
us. We may also use other verification methods as the circumstances dictate.
We
will only use personal information provided in your request to verify your
identity or authority to make the request. To the extent possible, we will
avoid requesting additional information from you for the purposes of
verification. If, however, we cannot verify your identity from the information
already maintained by us, we may request that you provide additional
information for the purposes of verifying your identity, and for security or
fraud-prevention purposes. We will delete such additionally provided
information as soon as we finish verifying you.
Other
privacy rights
At
this time, we do not sell your personal information to third parties.
If
you have a complaint about how we handle your data, we would like to hear from
you by email at [email protected]
or by referring to the contact details at the bottom of this document.
