Third-party offers, advertisements, and data collection

We may offer a number of separate products and services offered by third parties advertised to you on our Site, App, and through the Services. These third-party offers may be complementary to your use of the Services and may be personalized based on Information you provide to us, Information we have collected about you, your transactions in your linked accounts, queries made through the Services, or other Information. If you choose to use these separate products and services, provide information to the third-party, or allow the third-party to otherwise collect Information about you, then their use of your Information is subject to the applicable third-party’s privacy policy and terms of service, not this policy. You should review the practices of the third-party before deciding to use their service or provide them with any Information.

As a user of our Site, App, and Services, you grant our service providers, including, but not limited to Plaid and Finicity, the right, power, and authority to access and transmit your data as reasonably necessary to provide the Services.

You furthermore expressly grant our service providers the right, power and authority to (acting on your behalf) access and transmit your Information, including personal Information, as reasonably necessary to provide the Service to you and Recoup.

We may use third-party service providers to help us analyze certain online activities. For example, these service providers may help us measure the performance of our online promotions or analyze Services activity. We may permit these service providers to use cookies and similar technologies to perform these services. For example, we use a service provider such as Google Analytics on parts of the Site, App, or Services to determine interest and other data to better serve our customers. To learn more about Google’s privacy practices, please review the Google Privacy Policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/. If you prefer to not have your data used by this service provider through our Site, you may visit the Google Analytics opt-out page.

How we use cookies and similar technologies

To help operate the Site, App, or Services, enhance you experience, and collect information about online activity, we may place small data files on your computer or other device. These data files may be in the form of cookies, pixel tags, local shared objects, or other similar technologies. Cookies and similar technologies enable us to personalize our Site and Services for you. These technologies allow us to store and manage your preferences and settings, measure and analyze how you use our Site and effectiveness of our communications, offer targeted products, programs and services, and help us improve our products, services, and security. Information collected includes internet protocol address, operating system, browser specifics of your device, device characteristics, user ID, and specifics regarding your interactions with (i.e., the path you take through) our Site and Services.

Most browsers provide you with the ability to block, delete, or disable these technologies. If you choose to reject cookies or similar technologies, some Services may not be available or some functionality may be limited or unavailable. Please review your browser manufacturer’s help pages for assistance with changing your settings. Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on your device’s hard drive, clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on Site or App pages. We may use clear GIFs (a.k.a. web beacons, web bugs or pixel tags), in connection with our Site and App to, among other things, track the activities of Site visitors and App users, help us manage content, and compile statistics about usage of our Site and App. We and our third-party service providers also use clear GIFs in HTML emails to our customers, to help us track email response rates, identify when our emails are viewed, and track whether our emails are forwarded.

We use third parties such as network advertisers to serve advertisements on third-party websites, apps, or other media (e.g., social networking platforms). This enables us and these third parties to target advertisements to you for products and services in which you might be interested. Third-party ad network providers, advertisers, sponsors and/or traffic measurement services may use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (including clear GIFs), Flash LSOs and other tracking technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content to you (including addressable TV/b2b). These third-party cookies and other technologies are governed by each third party’s specific privacy policy, not this one. We may provide these third-party advertisers with Information, including personal Information, about you.
Users in the United States may opt out of many third-party ad networks. For example, you may go to the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) Consumer Choice Page for information about opting out of interest-based advertising and their choices regarding having information used by DAA companies. You may also go to the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) Consumer Opt-Out Page for information about opting out of interest-based advertising and their choices regarding having Information used by NAI members.

Opting out from one or more companies listed on the DAA Consumer Choice Page or the NAI Consumer Opt-Out Page will opt you out from those companies’ delivery of interest-based content or ads to you, but it does not mean you will no longer receive any advertising through our Site or on other websites. You may continue to receive advertisements, for example, based on the particular website that you are viewing (i.e., contextually based ads). Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you opt out on the DAA or NAI websites, your opt out may not be effective. Additional information is available on the DAA’s website at www.aboutads.info or the NAI’s website at www.networkadvertising.org.
Our systems do not recognize browser “do-not-track” requests. You may, however, disable certain tracking as discussed in this section (e.g., by disabling cookies); you also may opt-out of targeted advertising by following the instructions above.

Children’s Information

We do not knowingly attempt to solicit or receive information from children on the Services. If we become aware that a user is under 13 (or a higher age threshold where applicable) and has provided us with Information, we will take steps to comply with any applicable legal requirement to remove such Information. Contact us if you believe that we have mistakenly or unintentionally collected Information from a child under the age of thirteen (13).
