FACTS

WHAT DOES RISE DO WITH YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Why?

Financial companies choose how they share your personal information. Federal law gives consumers the right to limit some but not all sharing. Federal law also requires us to tell you how we collect, share, and protect your personal information. Please read this notice carefully to understand what we do.

What we do

How does RISE protect my personal information?

To protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use, we use security measures that comply with federal law. These measures include computer safeguards and secured files and buildings.

We also maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards (i.e., computer virus protection software, firewalls, 128-bit Secure Socket Layer). Only authorized employees have access.

How does RISE collect my personal information?

We collect your personal information, for example, when you

  • Apply for credit
  • Give us your income information
  • Provide employment information
  • Provide account information
  • Give us your contact information

We also collect your personal information from others, such as credit bureaus, affiliates, or other companies.

Why can’t I limit all sharing?

Federal law gives you the right to limit only:

  • Sharing for affiliates’ everyday business purposes information about your creditworthiness;
  • Affiliates from using your information to market to you; and
  • Sharing for nonaffiliates to market to you.

State laws and individual companies may give you additional rights to limit sharing. See below for more on your rights under state law.
