California Privacy Notice and Notice At Collection
Last updated on 03/27/2024
This California Privacy Notice (California Notice) is for California residents only, pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA), and supplements information contained in the (i) EverBank Notice of Online Privacy Practices provided by EverBank and its affiliated “EverBank Companies” using the EverBank brand or sharing a common corporate identity and the (ii) EverBank, N.A., Consumer Privacy Notice provided by EverBank, N.A., to the extent you have a relationship with any of these entities.
Please review this California Notice carefully, as it applies to the collection, use and sharing of the personal information (as defined by the CCPA) we may collect about you in connection with:
i. A business relationship you may have with EverBank or an EverBank Company (in which case you are referred to as a “Business Client”); or
ii. If you do not yet have a relationship with EverBank or the EverBank Companies, introducing you to our financial products and services for personal or household use (in which case you are referred to as a “Prospect”).
Specifically, CCPA exempts the personal information collected by EverBank Companies once you apply for, access or purchase a financial product or service for your direct personal or household use and/or used to deepen our financial relationship with you; our collection, use and sharing of such personal information is instead subject to the EverBank Notice of Online Privacy Practices and the EverBank, N.A., Consumer Privacy Notice for EverBank, N.A. Customers (each referred to hereafter as a “Privacy Notice”).
As used in this California Notice and as defined in the CCPA, personal information includes information that relates to, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked to you, one of your devices and/or a member of your household, that is not in furtherance of your current relationship with EverBank or an EverBank Company. Personal information also includes “sensitive personal information,” which is further described below.
Your rights under the CCPA
If you are a California resident, you have the following rights with respect to your personal information:
- Receive information on our privacy and information practices, including why we collect personal information about you, from whom, for what purposes, and with whom we share or “sell” it. This information is described below. You are also entitled to know how long we expect to retain your personal information. Our retention periods vary, and we use the following criteria to determine them: if you are a Prospect, usually three years; if you are a Business Client, the time during which our business relationship with you continues. In addition, we comply with our internal retention requirement, which is generally seven years, which can be extended under some circumstances, such as anticipated or ongoing litigation or regulatory activities.
- Request access to personal information that we have collected about you in the twelve months prior to your request. Please note that we are not required to disclose any personal information that may compromise the security of your account(s) or put you at risk of identity theft; for example, we will not disclose to you your specific Social Security Number if we have collected it.
- Request the deletion of your personal information, if we use it outside our business purposes (which are explained below).
- Request the correction of your personal information.
- Limit the use of your sensitive personal information, if we use it outside our business purposes. We do not collect sensitive personal information from you, with the exception of a government-issued identification number (such as a Social Security or a Driver’s License Number) if you are a Business Client. We use this information to authenticate you, which is considered to be a “business purpose” under CCPA. Therefore, the right to limit our use of your sensitive personal information is not available at this time.
- Opt-out of certain automated decision-making. Until the California regulators define automated decision making, we are not yet able to offer this right to you. We do not use automated decision-making in a way that will materially impact your legal rights or discriminate against you.
- Receive information whether we “sell or share” your personal information with vendors that provide cross- context digital advertising or cannot assure us that your personal information is used only to deliver services we have hired them to provide us. You are also entitled to opt-out of any such “sale or sharing.”
- We do not sell to anyone any of your personal information for money.
- Personal information collected by our use of digital tracking technology is information that, on its own, might not identify you; however, when such information is combined with other information about you, it may be possible to identify you or your household.
- Digital tracking technology may be deployed by us or our service providers on our behalf, for analytics, marketing, and interest-based advertising services. We may, and our service providers may also, rely on other third parties to deliver to you our interest-based advertising on websites and platforms that you may visit while online. EverBank and its service providers do not share your personal information with these third parties to enable interest-based advertising. Regardless, we recognize that the use of third-party providers for certain marketing activities may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under the CCPA. By visiting our digital preference management center, you have the ability to review a current list of digital tracking technology that we allow on our sites and opt out of the digital activities that could constitute sales/sharing of your personal information. Please note that your opt-out preferences will be stored in cookies and that if you clear your cookie cache or access our site from another device, we may not have the ability to identify you for the purpose of applying your opt-out choices, and you may need to opt out again.
- Our website also detects the Global Privacy Control signal from a number of common browsers, and we will automatically opt you out of interest-based advertising if we detect that you have enabled this signal. To learn more about the Global Privacy Control, please visit globalprivacycontrol.org.
- Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. However, we may offer certain programs that, to the extent your Personal Information falls within the scope of CCPA, may be considered “financial incentives.” These programs may result in different prices, rates, or quality levels for certain participants. While we do not generally assign a monetary or other value to personal information as part of these programs, any permitted “financial incentive” we offer will (a) reasonably relate to the value of your personal information which falls within the scope of CCPA and, (b) contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in these programs requires your opt-in consent, which you may revoke at any time.
Our business purposes
Certain activities we perform require the use of your personal information and/or your sensitive personal information. Under the California Privacy Rights Act, you may not request that we (i) delete it; (ii) limit our use of your personal information or sensitive personal information; or (iii) limit our sharing it with our service providers when our activities fall within our "business purposes."
We require our service providers to contractually agree to use your personal and sensitive personal information only to render us the services we have hired them to perform, to protect it with technical, administrative and physical measures appropriate to its sensitivity, not to use it for their own purposes, collect further personal information with respect to it, to tell us if they cannot comply with such requirements and to allow us to make sure that they are complying with their obligations.
