Information We Collect About You
Our servers collect standard non-identifying information about visits to this site, such as date and time visited, geolocation, city, state, country and IP address. This is used to compile standard statistics on site usage.
Our Card Apps periodically collect, transmit and use geolocation information to enable features that prevent fraudulent card use and send alerts, but only if the End User expressly authorizes collection of such information. Geolocation information can be monitored on a continuous basis in the background only while the Card App is being used, or not at all, depending on the End User's selection. End Users may change their location permissions at any time in their device settings.
