Please read this notice carefully to fully understand how we handle user privacy related to our digital presence.

We and our service providers may automatically log information about you, your computer or mobile device, and your interaction over time without Services, our communications, and other online services, such as:
• Device data, such as your mobile device’s operating system type and version, manufacturer and model, device type (e.g.: phone, tablet), IP address, unique identifiers, language settings, mobile device carrier, network information (e.g.: WIFI, LTE, 3G, 4G, 5G), and general location information such as city, state, or geographic area.
• Online activity data, such as pages and screens you viewed, how long you spent on a screen, navigation paths between screens, information about your activity on a screen, access times, and duration of access.
• Cookies, which are text files that websites store on a visitor’s device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser for the purpose of helping you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, enabling functionality, and helping us understand user activity and patterns.
• Local storage technologies, like HTML5 and Flash, that provide cookie equivalent functionality but can store a larger amount of data, including on your device outside of your browser in connection with specific applications.
• Web beacons, also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, which are used to demonstrate that an email was accessed or opened, or that certain content was viewed or clicked.
• Location Information. If you have enabled location services on your mobile device and agree to the collection of your location when prompted by the Services, we will collect your location information when you use the Services; for example, to provide our fraud detection services. If you do not want us to collect this information, you may decline the collection of your location when prompted or adjust the location services settings on your mobile device.
Using Information – We may use the collected personal information from you in the following ways:

In general, we use your personal information collected through your use of the Services to respond to your requests as submitted through the Services, to provide you the Services you request, and to help serve you better.

Link to Other Sites
The App may contain links to third party websites. When you click on a link to any other website or location, you will leave the App and go to another site and another entity may collect personal and/or anonymous information from you. The App’s provision of a link to any other website or location is for your convenience and does not signify our endorsement of such other website or location or its contents. We have no control over, do not review, and cannot be responsible for these outside websites or their content. Please be aware that the terms of this Privacy Policy do not apply to these outside websites. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.
Your Choices Regarding Your Information
- How We Respond to Do Not Track Signals. Some web browsers transmit “do not track” signals to the websites and other online services with which your web browser communicates. There is currently no standard that governs what, if anything, websites should do when they receive these signals. We currently do not act in response to these signals. When a standard is established, we may revise our policy on responding to these signals.
- Access, Update, or Correct Your Information. You can access, update, or correct your information by changing preferences in your account. For additional requests, please contact us.
- Opting Out of Email or SMS Communications. If you provide your phone number through the Services, we may send you notifications by SMS, such as a fraud alert. You may opt out of SMS communications by unlinking your mobile phone number through the Services. If you have signed up to receive our email marketing communications, you can unsubscribe any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link included in the message or other electronic communication. Alternatively, you can opt-out of receiving marketing communications by contacting us at the contact information under “Contact Us” below.
