  1. Who We Share Your Personal Information With

We may share personal information with our employees and affiliates who need to know that information to service your account. Except as provided below, we do not share or disclose any personal information to any company or marketing group external to us. We may share your personal information with third parties and service providers to the extent it is reasonably necessary to manage and service your account, verify employment, determine location, process payment, fulfill a transaction, provide customer service, or as otherwise authorized by law.

Further, we may disclose personal information (a) to another entity with which we enter or reasonably may enter into a corporate transaction, such as, for example, a merger, consolidation, acquisition, or asset purchase, (b) to a third party pursuant to a subpoena, court order, or other form of legal process or in response to requests by or on behalf of any local, state, federal, or other government agency, department or body, whether or not pursuant to a subpoena, court order, or other form of legal process, or in connection with litigation brought against, or on behalf of, Credit Corp, where appropriate, (c) to a third party if determined by Credit Corp and its sole judgment that such discretion is appropriate to protect the life, health, or property of Credit Corp or any other person or entity, all in compliance with applicable law, (d) to third parties as authorized or designated by you, or (e) to conduct any other legitimate business activity not otherwise prohibited by law. The foregoing is not intended to obviate or displace any legal obligations or duties applicable to Credit Corp.

Except as necessary for us to provide the services, information, or products requested by a website user, or accept for disclosures identified in the preceding paragraphs, the user may opt out of having their personal information, which has been voluntarily provided to us through or from its website, prospectively retained by us, used by us for secondary purposes or disclosed by us to third parties.

E-mail posted or sent to us may not be secure against interception by unauthorized individuals. To protect against interception by unauthorized individuals, or because we cannot verify your identity, we may be unable to respond to e-mail requests concerning accounts placed for collection unless you have requested or authorized us to do so.

  1. Sharing your information with customer reporting agencies

Customer Reporting Agencies (CRAs) collect and maintain information on customer and business credit profiles on behalf of organizations in the United States. We may share information about you with CRAs and may carry out periodic searches within to verify your identity or manage your account.

Details of your account(s) with us may be sent to CRAs and recorded by them. This information may be supplied by CRAs and may be used in searched by us and other organizations, such as debt collection agencies in order to:

  • consider applications for credit and credit related services;
  • locate debtors and recover debts; and
  • manage your accounts.

We may furnish account information to Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. You have a right to obtain an annual copy of your credit file from CRAs by visiting www.annualcreditreport.com. 

  1. Right to Know and Data Requests

If you are a California resident, the CCPA grants you the following rights regarding your personal information. You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable customer request, we will disclose to you:

  • The categories of personal information we have collected about you.
  • The categories of sources from which the personal information is collected.
  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting your personal information.
  • The categories of third parties with whom we share personal information, if any.
  • The specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you.

Please note that we are not required to:

  • Retain any personal information about you that was collected for a single one-time transaction if, in the ordinary course of business, that information about you is not retained;
  • Reidentify or otherwise link any data that, in the ordinary course of business, is not maintained in a manner that would be considered personal information; or
  • Provide the personal information to you more than twice in a 12-month period.
  1. Right to Request Deletion

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable customer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to:

  • Complete the transaction for which the personal information was collected, fulfill a requested good or service, meet expectations based on our ongoing business relationship, or otherwise carry out a contract between you and us
  • Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity; or prosecute those responsible for that activity.
  • Debug to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
  • Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another customer to exercise his or her right of free speech, or exercise another right provided for by law.
  • Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act
  • Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when our deletion of the information is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of such research, provided we have obtained your informed consent.
  • Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with your expectations based on your relationship with us.
  • Comply with an existing legal obligation.
  • Otherwise use your personal information, internally, in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which you provided the information.
  1. Right to Request Correction

You also have the right to request correction of personal information we maintain about you that you believe is inaccurate. We may require you to provide documentation, if needed, to confirm your identity and support your claim that the information is inaccurate. Unless an exception applies, we will correct personal information that our review determines is inaccurate and notify our service providers to take appropriate action.

  1. Right to Limit Sensitive Personal Information

This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your sensitive personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data's accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it. Credit Corp does not collect or use sensitive personal data for the purpose of inferring characteristics about customers. Therefore, such data is treated as “personal information” and requests handled in accordance with procedures for general personal information.

  1. Protection Against Discrimination

You have the right to not be discriminated against by us because you exercised any of your rights under the CCPA. This means we cannot, among other things:

  • Deny goods or services to you;
  • Charge different prices or rates for goods or services, including through the use of discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties;
  • Provide a different level or quality of goods or services to you; or
  • Suggest that you will receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

Please note that we may charge a different price or rate, or provide a different level or quality of goods and/or services to you, if that difference is reasonably related to the value provided to you by your personal information.

  1. How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise the right to know, data portability, correction and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable customer request to us by either:

Please describe your request with sufficient detail so we can properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. You or your authorized agent may only submit a request to know, including for data portability, twice within a 12-month period.

  1. Exercising the Right to Limit

You can submit your request to limit or opt-out through:

  1. Verifying Your Identity (i.e., verifiable customer request)

If you choose to contact us directly by phone or in writing, you will need to:

  • Provide us with enough information to identify you (e.g., your full name, address and customer or matter reference number);
  • Provide us with proof of your identity and address (e.g., a copy of your driving license or passport and a recent utility or credit card bill); and
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate and respond to it.

We are not obligated to make a data access or data portability disclosure if we cannot verify that the person making the request is the person about whom we collected information, or is someone authorized to act on such person’s behalf. Any personal information we collect from you to verify your identity in connection with you request will be used solely for the purposes of verification.

Responding to Your Requests

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable customer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and the extension period in writing. If you have an account with us, we will deliver our response to your verified email address of otherwise using your contact information. 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 the verifiable customer request's receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. Applicable law may allow or require us to refuse to provide you with access to some or all of the personal information that we hold about you, or we may have destroyed, deleted, or made your personal information anonymous in compliance with our record retention policies and obligations. 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 entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable customer 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.

  1. How We Protect Information

Credit Corp has implemented physical, electronic, and procedural security safeguards to protect against the unauthorized release of or access to personal information. We employ internal and external system safeguards designed to protect confidentiality and security of personal information. The confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted to or from Credit Corp via the website or via e-mail cannot be, and is not, guaranteed. You acknowledge that the technical processing and transmission of the website’s content may be transferred unencrypted and involve: (a) transmissions over various networks; and (b) changes to confirm and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices. The safety and security of your information also depends on you.  If any questions arise about security, please contact us using the information provided above.

  1. Authorized Agent

You can designate an authorized agent to make any of these requests by providing your express written authorization. We must be able to verify your identity and the authorization must include the authorized agent’s name, address, telephone number, and email address (for providing the personal information collected or to respond to a request for deletion).
