Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy - Summary
At PorchPass, we are committed to protecting user privacy. Therefore, we have created and are maintaining an ongoing privacy compliance framework that enables users to access and exercise their privacy rights.
This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and what options you have about certain uses. Key elements of our full privacy policy are summarized below for your convenience. However, the full version of our privacy policy is the legally binding one.
During your visit to our websites, we will collect information about your visit, your interaction with content, the site from which you came and the one to which you are headed, and some technical information about the device and system from which you are accessing the services. When you use our services, we may ask you to provide sensitive Personal Information, which may include financial information. We use such information to match you with a third-party financial service provider or a platform that may provide you with financial product offers.
Our data collection practices comply with applicable laws. Specifically we comply with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act to the extent it is applicable to our use, and sharing practices. In some states in the US, our processing of information may raise additional privacy rights. Vermont residents should note that we will not share nonpublic Personal Information with unaffiliated third parties without their consent, except as permitted by law, and we will not share credit scores with our affiliates, to the extent such are collected. Residents of states that have state privacy regulations should also review their state specific privacy notices.
We use the information collected on our websites to provide the services you request, to improve the services over time, to measure analytics, statistics, and to sync and resolve payment issues with our Partners.
We will not share your information unless we are required to by law, or as required to provide you with our website and services, or if we receive your consent to such data sharing.
The Site may link to third party websites, we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such third parties and you should review their privacy policies of such sites when you access them.
