Information We Collect

When you visit a Site, we may collect both personally identifiable information and anonymous information. Personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) means information (such as name, demographic, or contact information that identifies you personally). Anonymous information includes information that does not identify you personally or contain personal identifiers (“Anonymous Information”), including internet or other electronic network activity information such as browsing history, cookies, and interactions with our Sites.

• when you complete and submit forms or fields available at a Site.

We may append and enrich the information we have about you with information purchased from third party data suppliers.

We may collect Anonymous Information such as connection, activity, and usage data, when visitors and users navigate to and around the Sites:

• from de-identified or aggregated Personal Information, including payment data associated with a Financial Product.

How We Use Your Information

As noted above, Personal Information provided through an application for or use of or interaction with a Financial Product is used solely to establish your customer relationship and is subject to the Privacy Notice governing the Financial Product you selected.

Personal Information provided or collected through other venues on the Site may be used in the following ways:

We may aggregate or de-identify your Personal Information for these same purposes.

Security

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the Personal Information you provide against accidental, unlawful or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure or use. SSL encryption also is used on our Site when you are asked to enter confidential information as part of your application. You can tell you have entered an encrypted session in several ways. Whenever you see an unbroken key, a locked padlock, or similar icon on your browser screen, you have entered an encrypted session. In addition, when your session changes from “http” to “https,” you are in an encrypted session.
