We may retain de-identified information after your account has been closed.

How We Protect Your Personal Information

Security

We implement a variety of security safeguards designed to protect your Personal Information, including encryption as outlined in the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). However, no method or transmission over the internet or electronic system is completely secure, so there is no guarantee that such data may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed in connection with a breach of our physical, technical, organizational, or managerial safeguards.

Choosing a Password

When you register as a user and create an online account on our App, you will be prompted to select a personal password. To maximize your level of protection, you should choose a strong and unique password. You are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your password and any account information.

Your California Privacy Rights

Where provided for by law and subject to any applicable exceptions, California residents may have the following rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”).

Under the CCPA, this Privacy Policy does not apply to the Personal Information we collect, use or disclose that is subject to the federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”) and implementing regulations, or the California Financial Information Privacy Act (“CalFIPA”). The GLBA and/or CalFIPA governs the information of individuals who apply for or use our financial products or services.

For that Personal Information subject to the CCPA, it grants consumers the following rights:

Right to Know: You have the right to know what Personal Information we have collected about you, including the categories of Personal Information, the categories of sources from which the Personal Information is collected, the business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling, or sharing Personal Information, the categories of third parties to whom we disclose Personal Information, and the specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you.
Right to Delete: You have the right to delete Personal Information that we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions. Note that there are some reasons we will not be able to fully address your request, such as if we need to complete a transaction for you, to detect and protect against fraudulent and illegal activity, to exercise our rights, for our internal purposes, or to comply with a legal obligation.
Right to Correct: You have the right to correct inaccurate Personal Information that we may maintain about you, subject to appropriate verification.

How to Submit a Request

To take advantage of your right to know, delete, or correct under CCPA, please contact us by email at mobileappsupport@payliance.com or by using the How to Contact Us section below. We may request certain information to verify your identity before we can respond to your access, deletion, and correction requests. We will confirm receipt of your request within 10 business days and will respond to your request within 45 calendar days, after proper verification, unless we need additional time, in which case we will let you know.

We will not discriminate against you because you exercised your rights under this section.

We may not honor part or all of your request — for example, certain information we collect may be exempt from this Privacy Policy, such as information collected, processed, or disclosed subject to the GLBA, and implementing regulations or the CFIPA, public information made available by a government entity or information covered by another privacy law.

Agent Requests

You may authorize someone to make a privacy rights request on your behalf (an authorized agent). Authorized agents will need to demonstrate that you’ve authorized them to act on your behalf or must demonstrate they have power of attorney pursuant to applicable probate law. Payliance retains the right to request confirmation directly from you confirming that the agent is authorized to make such a request, or to request additional information to confirm the agent’s identity. An authorized agent is prohibited from using a consumer’s Personal Information, or any information collected from or about the consumer, for any purpose other than to fulfill the consumer’s requests, for verification, or for fraud prevention.
