Our approach to data protection is built around four key principles. They're at the heart of everything we do relating to personal data.

Transparency: We take a human approach to how we process personal data by being open, honest, and transparent.

Enablement: We enable connections and efficient use of personal data to empower productivity and growth.

Security: We desire to be best in class to secure the personal data entrusted to us.

How we collect your data

When you visit our websites or use our services, we collect personal data. The ways we collect it can be broadly categorized into the following:

Information you provide to us directly:

When you call, fax, or are a visitor on our websites and/or services we might ask you to provide personal data to us. For example, we ask for your contact information when you sign up for a free trial, respond to a job application or an email offer, participate in community forums, join us on social media, take part in training and events, or contacting us with questions or request support. If you don't want to provide us with personal data, you don't have to, but it might mean you can't use some parts of our websites or services.

Information we collect automatically:

We collect some information about you automatically when you visit our websites or use our services, like your IP address and device type. We also collect information when you navigate through our websites and services, including what pages you looked at and what links you clicked on.

Information we collect from your financial accounts using E-check, (ACH Banking software, Plaid, or Microbilt using Industry standards):

Should you request to pay your current or future orders using e-check, ACH processing, or use other credit facilities made available to you, we are required by federal and state regulations to verify your financial information. We use an authorized and approved third party service to satisfy this requirement. The information we receive from the financial product of these service providers and those that maintain your financial accounts varies depending on a number of factors, including the specific e-check services requested and used by you, as well as the information made available by those third-party providers. But, in general, we collect the following types of identifiers, commercial information, and other personal information from your financial product and service providers:

Account information, including financial institution name, account name, account type, account ownership, branch number, IBAN, BIC, account number, routing number, and sort code;
Information about an account's balance, including current and available balance;
Information about credit accounts, including due dates, balances owed, payment amounts and dates, transaction history, credit limit, repayment status, and interest rate;
Information about loan accounts, including due dates, repayment status, balances, payment amounts and dates, interest rate, guarantor, loan type, payment plan, and terms;
Information about investment accounts, including transaction information, type of asset, identifying details about the asset, quantity, price, fees, and cost basis;
Identifiers and information about the account owner(s), including name, email address, phone number, date of birth, and address information;
Information about account transactions, including amount, date, payee, type, quantity, price, location, involved securities, and a description of the transaction; and
Professional information, including information about your employer, in limited cases where you've connected your payroll accounts or provided us with your pay stub information.
The data collected from your financial accounts includes information from all accounts (e.g., checking, savings, and credit card) accessible through a single set of account credentials.

Information we receive from your devices. When you use your device to connect to our services through a developer's application, we receive identifiers and electronic network activity information about that device, including internet protocol (IP) address, timezone setting and location, device location, hardware model, operating system, which features within our services you access, browser data, and other technical information about the device.
