disclosures regarding the collection, use and sharing of “Personal Information” as well as rights to know/access,
delete and limit sharing of “Personal Information”. As a financial services organization, much of the informationwe collect is exempt from the CCPA because it is covered by federal or state privacy laws, such as the GrammLeach-Bliley Act.

information about you to third parties who provide you with financial products and services.

we collected it and the categories of third parties with whom we shared it. Additionally, you have the right to
request in certain circumstances that we delete any Personal Information that we have collected directly from
you; however, there may be certain exceptions as defined in the CCPA that prevent or limit our ability to comply
with your request.
