Additional Privacy Notice for Residents of California
Overview
The information provided in Our Company’s Privacy Policy is supplemented by this Privacy Notice for California Residents (this “Privacy Notice”), which is only intended for residents of California.
The term “consumers” or “you” refers to all visitors, clients, users, and other residents of the State of California. This notice informs California residents of their rights with regard to their personal information and describes our online and offline practices for the collection, use, disclosure, and sale of personal information.
Although we think that the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act exemption of the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) exempts a large portion of the personal information we collect, we are still giving you this notice to acknowledge your rights under the CCPA. For instance, the information we gather about California residents who apply for or use our financial goods and services for personal, family, or household needs is not covered by this Privacy Notice. In certain instances, we may compile data about you that is unrelated to how you use our financial products and services but that can nevertheless reasonably be used to identify, characterize, or reasonably be connected with you.
Any terminology used in this Privacy Notice that are defined in the CCPA also have that definition.
