Bill Payment Service

When you initiate a Payment instruction, you authorize your program administrator to charge your payment card or debit your payment account and remit funds to the payee. If we are unable to obtain funds for a bill payment for any reason associated with your payment card or payment account (for example, there is not a sufficient balance available on your payment card or in your payment account to cover the transaction), then we will not be able to complete your bill payment transaction. If there is a problem in processing your payment instruction, the program administrator may attempt to contact you, using the telephone number you have provided.

If the program administrator makes a bill payment to your payee account but is unable to obtain funds for that payment from your payment card or payment account, you agree that your bill payment to your payee account will be reversed.

Your Rights Under the California Consumer Privacy Act and California Privacy Rights Act

Right to Confirm or Access Information

•  You may have the right to confirm whether we process certain information or what information we process, and to obtain a copy of that information in a format that allows you to transmit the information to another business without difficulty.

•  Once we receive and confirm your identity and verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you the following at your direction (with various exceptions):

a)  The categories of personal information we collected about you in the last 12 months;

b)  The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you in the last 12 months;

Right to Delete Personal Information

•  You have the right to request that AGIA delete any of your personal information we collected from you and retained, with certain exceptions. You will need to submit a valid and verifiable request so AGIA can confirm your identity and/or authorization to make such a request. AGIA will determine if retaining the information is permitted or required under the law. If no retention conditions apply, we will delete your personal information from our records and direct any Service Providers to do the same.

Right to Correct Personal Information

•  Taking into consideration the nature of the personal information and the purposes of the processing of your personal information, you may have the right to correct inaccuracies in such information. Upon submission to AGIA of a valid and verifiable request where your identity and authorization can be confirmed, AGIA will use all reasonable efforts to correct the inaccurate information.

Right to Limit Processing of Sensitive Personal Information

•  AGIA processes sensitive personal information only as necessary in performance of our services to ensure the security and integrity of your information or as otherwise specified under regulation. Because AGIA does not process your sensitive personal information for other purposes, there is not a mechanism for you to limit the processing of this information.

Right to Opt-Out of Profiling

•  AGIA does not engage in automated processing of personal information to make decisions that yield legal or other material consequence. Because we do not engage in this processing, AGIA does not provide a mechanism for you to limit our processing of personal information in this manner.

Right to Opt-Out

•  AGIA does not sell your personal information; therefore we do not provide a mechanism for you to limit our processing of personal information in such a manner.

Right to Non-Discrimination

•  AGIA will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under the CCPA or CPRA. Examples of discrimination could be charging you inflated rates by imposing penalties or granting discounts or other benefits, denying you goods or services or providing you a different level of quality of goods or services.

•  Any acts of discrimination are prohibited by the CCPA and CPRA and AGIA will not engage in them.
