Privacy Policy

Provider takes measures to ensure that the use and disclosure of Client information is consistent with applicable law.

This Privacy Policy explains what personally identifiable information we collect, why we collect it, how we protect it, how we use it, and how and why, in certain cases, we share such information with other parties. Our Privacy Statement may be amended from time to time.

Our Privacy Policy applies to information collected or used when we offer products or services to Client.

INFORMATION THAT WE COLLECT AND MAY DISCLOSE

We collect information in order to comply with applicable laws and to provide the superior level of service that you expect. Personally identifiable information may include: names, addresses, phone numbers or e-mail addresses, social security number; and driver’s license information.

Specific examples of personal information that we collect and may disclose to affiliates and certain third parties may include:

• Information we receive from you on new account and service request forms.
• Information about your transactions with us, our affiliates, and others such as account balances, payment history, account activity and statements.
• If you visit our Internet web site, [https://feathershark.com] (the “website”), information you may submit to us on our website forms and information we may collect through “cookies” (explained below).

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

Provider and third-party service providers may work together to provide a variety of services, and they may need to share personally identifiable information received you to maintain an efficient and effective level of service.

The responsible use and disclosure of the personally identifiable information we collect is crucial to our ability to provide you with the services that you expect, and may occur under a variety of different circumstances. For example, we may:

• Use personally identifiable information internally for the purposes of furthering our business, which may include analyzing information we receive from you, matching that information with the information of others, processing services, maintaining accounts, resolving disputes, preventing fraud and verifying your identity.
• Disclose personally identifiable information when required by law, such as requests for personally identifiable information in connection with a judicial, administrative or investigative matter.
• Use and disclose personally identifiable information on an aggregate basis. This means that we may combine parts of your information with parts of the information from our other users without including other identifying components of that information, such as name, complete telephone number, complete e-mail address or your street address, in the combination.

SHARING WITH NON-AFFILIATED SERVICE PROVIDERS

Provider may disclose personally identifiable information to nonaffiliated service providers who perform business functions on our behalf, which may include marketing of our products and services, check printing, and data processing. Non-affiliated third-party service providers often aid us in the efficient and effective delivery of services and there may be circumstances where it is necessary to disclose personally identifiable information we collect to such parties. However, before we disclose personally identifiable information to a nonaffiliated party, we require them to agree to keep that information confidential and secure and to use it only as authorized by us. Also, we will only share your nonpublic information with non-affiliated third parties, where permitted by applicable law.

Provider does not share, sell, or rent personally identifiable information with outside marketers.

HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION

Provider maintains a comprehensive information security program designed to ensure the security and confidentiality of customer information, protect against threats or hazards to the security of such information, and prevent unauthorized access. This program includes:

• Procedures and specifications for administrative, technical and physical safeguards.
• Security procedures related to the processing, storage, retention and disposal of confidential information.
• Programs to detect, prevent, and respond to attacks, intrusions or unauthorized access to confidential information.
• Restricting access to customer information to employees who need to know that information to provide products and services to you, and appointing specific employees to oversee our information security program.
• Employee training programs to ensure that all employees are trained regarding our information security program and the laws applicable to the proper safeguarding and disposal of personal identifying information.

However, Provider cannot and does not guarantee that unauthorized, inadvertent disclosure never may occur.

DISPOSAL OF BUSINESS RECORDS

Provider disposes of all business records containing personally identifiable information in accordance with applicable state and federal laws.
