personally or contain personal identifiers (“Anonymous Information”), including internet
or other electronic network activity information such as browsing history, cookies, and

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

such as your Media Access Control (MAC) address, browser type, device type,
and operating system.
• From your IP address, which is automatically logged in our server when you
visit a Site.
• Using cookies or other digital tracking tools such as web beacons (also known
as pixel tags or clear GIFs). See the Use of Cookies and Web Beacons
section below for more information.
• From feedback that does not personally identify you voluntarily provided to us
on a Site.
• Using a website recording service, which may record mouse clicks, mouse
movements or page scrolling but does not record any Personal Information.

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.
Children
We do not knowingly collect or use Personal Information from children under 13 years
of age without obtaining verifiable consent from their parents. We are not responsible
for the data collection and use practices of non-affiliated third parties to which our Site
may link.
We use cookies to do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages
efficiently, remembering your preferences and generally improving your browsing
experience. They can also help ensure that ads you see online are more relevant to you
and your interests. We also use similar technologies such as pixel tags and JavaScript to
undertake these tasks.
We may also allow our business partners to place web beacons on our site or to place
cookies on your device for advertising or other purposes.
Third parties that use cookies and other tracking technologies to deliver targeted
advertisements on our platform or third-party sites may offer you a way to prevent such
targeted advertisements by opting-out at the websites of industry groups such as
the Network Advertising Initiative or the Digital Advertising Alliance.
The California Consumer Protection Act (CCPA) gives California residents rights to
receive certain disclosures regarding the collection, use, and sharing of Personal
Information, as well as rights to control this information.
It is important to note that the CCPA excludes Personal Information already covered by
financial services privacy laws such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) or California
Financial Information Privacy Act (CFIPA). As a result, the disclosures and rights
granted by the CCPA do not apply to Personal Information related to a financial
account. If you are a customer or consumer of our Financial Products, please consult
the Privacy Notice associated with those product(s), available here, to learn about our
information practices and your privacy rights.
In this section, the capitalized words have the meaning as stated in the CCPA (and any
final regulations, when available).
Netspend obtained this information from our lead generation partners. In order for
Netspend to receive your information from one of our partners, you must have opted-in
to the partner sharing your information for direct marketing purposes or the partner
may have collected your information from publicly available sources. Netspend keeps a
record of your opt-in to ensure that we are not marketing to prospects without consent.
If you have received direct marketing from Netspend, there are cases where Netspend
is not able to determine a prospect’s current contact information with the information
provided by our lead generation partners. In those cases, Netspend uses third-party
identity resolution service providers in order to verify the address and aid us in
determining whether to use the lead. In the past 12 months, Netspend has shared
contact information with these third-party service providers. Our identity resolution
service providers are contractually not permitted to use your information for any other
purpose.
Netspend does not Sell Personal Information as that term is defined in the CCPA.
California residents have the right to request a copy of (i) the Categories of Personal
Information that about you, (ii) the Specific Pieces of Personal Information we’ve
collected about you, (iii) the Categories of Sources from which we collect your Personal
Information, (iv) the purpose for collecting your Personal Information, and (v) the
Categories of Third Parties to whom we Disclosed your Personal Information.
You also have the right to request deletion of Personal Information, subject to
exceptions stated in the CCPA.
For security purposes, the CCPA requires us to verify your identity before we are able to
process an access or deletion request. As such, we may ask you to provide additional
such as your first and last name, address, telephone number, email address, or other
personal identifiers. This information will only be used for verification purposes.
Once we have verified your identity we will respond to your request as appropriate. For
access requests, the requested information will be sent to you. For deletion requests,
we may seek to confirm whether your request is for us to delete your Personal
Information or opt you out of receiving marketing. Opting you out of receiving
marketing allows us to maintain your Personal Information but flag it so that you do not
receive further offers from Netspend. If we do not maintain this flag we will no longer
have any record of you after fulfilling your deletion request, and it is possible that we
again receive your information from one of our lead generation partners, in which case
you may receive marketing from us again. We explain this in order to ensure we are
meeting consumers’ preferences. If we are unable to confirm your request, we will
default to deleting your Personal Information.
You have secure direct online access to your own Personal Information, including profile
and commercial or transactional history, via account tools and settings associated with
your account. For more information on your privacy rights related to your account
information, please login into your online account center to see the privacy policy
governing your account (or click here). To determine which Bank is associated with
your account, please see the back of your card.
