We regularly adapt these controls to respond to changing requirements and advances in technology.
c. Our employees are trained and required to safeguard your information and, using physical, electronic and procedural safeguards, we restrict access to personal information to those employees and agents for business purposes only. Additionally, we use internal and external resources to review the adequacy of our security procedures.
d. However, it is important to understand that these precautions apply only to our Site and systems. We exercise no control over how your information is stored, maintained or displayed by third parties or on third-party sites.
We understand that you are entrusting us with your Personal Information. That's why we don't sell, rent, or share any of the Personal Information you provide to us with third parties, for their own promotional or marketing use, without your consent. There are occasions, however, where we must share your information to provide you with the services you requested or for legal reasons. Descriptions of when we share and whom we may share your information with are provided below.
a. With Service Providers. In some cases, we use third party service providers to provide a product you order, to fulfill a service you request, or to market one of our products or services. These service providers act on our behalf. For example, we may use service providers to provide customer support or to host our Web sites. Service providers are strictly prohibited from using your information for their own purposes. Our contracts only allow service providers to use the personal information we disclose to them to provide you the service you have requested.
b. With Partners. We have limited relationships with third party business partners to offer you products or services that we believe you may find beneficial. Some of these are co-branded products or services. We clearly identify partner services and sites, so you will know who is receiving your information. When you request any of these partner products or services, you are permitting us to provide your personal information to the partner to fulfill your request. We may also offer links to partner or other third party Web sites. We do not control the privacy or security practices used on these sites. Before you provide your personal information to these third parties, we recommend that you review their privacy policies to learn more about how they may use your information.
c. Sale of a business. Should we sell, merge, or transfer any part of our business, part of the sale may include your personal information. If so, you will have the opportunity to ask not to receive promotional information following any change of control.
d. For legal reasons. In some cases we may be required to disclose certain information to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, comply with a legal process, such as a court order, subpoena, search warrant, law enforcement request, or as otherwise permitted by law to comply with legal requirements.
We may use your contact information to tell you about other products we think might interest you. However, if you don't want us to contact you for promotional purposes, you can email us at privacy@moneystream.com. Your contact preferences only apply to marketing contact. We may need to communicate with you regarding the usability of your product or critical messages relating to your service or software (such as service messages, subscription renewal notices, critical notices, or legally mandated notices).
There are a number of separate products and services offered by third parties advertised by us on our Site and through the Service that may be complementary to your use of the Services, such as lenders, banks, credit card issuers and brokerage institutions (collectively, "MoneyStream Offers"). If you choose to use these separate products or services, disclose information to the providers, or grant them permission to collect information about you, then their use of your information is governed by their privacy policies. You should evaluate the practices of external services providers before deciding to use their services. MoneyStream is not responsible for their privacy practices. If you click on a link to a third party site, MoneyStream encourages you to check the privacy policy of that site. MoneyStream may present links in a format that enables us to keep track of whether these links have been followed and whether any action has been taken on a third party Web site. We use this information to improve the quality of the MoneyStream Offers and customized content on the Service.
You may review and update the Personal Information maintained about you in the "My Profile" section of the Site at any time to ensure that it is accurate and up-to-date.
Your data is yours. You can remove it anytime you want. When you request us to delete your account for a Service, your data will be permanently expunged from our primary production servers and further access to your account will not be possible. We will also promptly disconnect any connection we had established to your account information and delete all account credentials. However, portions of your data, consisting of aggregate data derived from your account information, may remain on our production servers indefinitely. We may also retain records with respect to individual transactions conducted on your behalf via the Service. Your data may also remain on a backup server or media. MoneyStream keeps these backups to ensure our continued ability to provide the Service to you in the event of malfunction or damage to our primary production servers. We also reserve the right to use any aggregated or anonymous data derived from or incorporating your Personal Information.
We treat the Personal Information of our former customers with the same care and respect as that of our current customers.
When you visit the Site, we receive certain standard information that your browser sends to every website you visit, such as your IP address, browser type and language, access times and referring website addresses. This data does not identify you uniquely. However, it is used to assist in "authenticating" who you are when you access the Site.
We may also receive additional information about your visit to the Site, including the pages you view, the links you click and other actions you take in connection with the Site and the products and services offered through it. This data is used to make the site design more efficient.
Like most websites, the Site uses "cookies" and "web beacons" to help personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard drive by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. Most cookies are "session" cookies that are only used for a specific period during which you are on the Site, but a few are "persistent" cookies that stay on your hard drive and are read by the web server when you return to the site. This simplifies the process of recording your information. When you return to the same website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use features that you customized. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. However, if you choose to decline cookies, you will not be able to sign in or use other interactive features of the Site that depend on cookies. Web beacons are images embedded in a Web page or email for the purpose of measuring and analyzing site usage and activity. MoneyStream, or third party service providers acting on our behalf, may use Web beacons to help us analyze Site usage and improve the Service.
The Site displays advertisements, some of which are displayed by us and some of which are displayed by third party ad serving companies. When you click on an ad placed by an ad serving company, they may receive certain standard information that your browser sends to every website you visit, such as your IP address, browser type and language, access times and referring website addresses. This information does not identify you or your computer uniquely, but may be used to personalize ad content to some degree based on location and the like. Both we and the ad service companies may also place a persistent cookie on your computer in order to recognize your computer when displaying ads, in order to avoid excessively repetition of ads and to further personalize the content of ads displayed to you. If you prefer, but you can modify your browser setting to decline cookies, and many of the ad serving companies offer you a way to opt-out of cookies as well. We may further personalize the ads it displays to you based upon information we already have in your account (such as displaying an ad for services offered by your bank or an ad for a company that offers services in your state or zip code), but we do not share that information with the company placing the ad or an ad serving company. When we display personalized ads, we take a number of steps designed to protect your privacy. For example, we store page views, clicks and search terms used for ad personalization separately from your contact information or other data that directly identifies you (such as your name, e-mail address, etc.). When you click on an ad, it may launch a web form inviting you to enter information about yourself, and the Site will automatically pre-fill that information into the web form for you, but the information will not be sent to a third party until you send it. Ads may also contain hypertext links leading to separate Web sites operated by others. If you click through to those other Web sites, this Privacy Policy will not apply to your activities on such sites or any Personal Information that may be collected through them, so you should review the Privacy Policies on those sites before submitting Personal Information to them.
To provide you with a seamless experience, we may occasionally use framing. Though your browser may indicate you are at the Site, you may be on a partner's site. To determine which site you are on, right-click on the page and then select "properties." Mac users should press the control key, and click their mouse on the site and then look at "View Source."
We may amend this policy at any time by posting a revised version on the Site. The revised version will be effective immediately at the time it is posted unless a delayed effective date is expressly stated therein. You may (in our discretion) also be provided with an email notification of such amendments. You may (in our discretion) be required to affirmatively acknowledge or accept the revised Privacy Policy in order to continue using the Service. Any use of the Service after a notice of change (whether by Site posting, email, or express acknowledgment or acceptance) will constitute your express agreement to such changes. The date last revised appears at the top of the Privacy Policy.
15. Compliance with Applicable LawsMoneyStream complies with applicable laws and regulations pertaining to information about you, including U.S. federal laws pertaining to "nonpublic personal information" and "consumer report information." MoneyStream uses and discloses those types of information only as permitted by applicable law and described in this Privacy Policy.
