Statement of Commitment

Wellthi and its affiliates are committed to compliance with the privacy requirements of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 6801, et seq. (GLBA), as well as other applicable federal and state laws that govern the use and protection of nonpublic personal information. GLBA Title V governs the treatment of nonpublic personal information about consumers. It requires notice to consumers about a financial institution’s privacy policies and practices, describes when nonpublic personal information may be disclosed to nonaffiliated third parties, and provides mechanisms for consumers to “opt out” from information sharing in certain circumstances. It also imposes requirements to ensure that customer information is properly protected and secured.

This Policy is owned by the Compliance Officer and is reviewed, updated, and submitted to Executive Management at least annually.

Privacy Notice

Wellthi utilizes an electronic version of the Consumer Privacy Notice in alignment with the Issuing Bank’s requirements and consistent with the government’s model form. An updated version of the notice will be maintained on Wellthi’s website.

Wellthi will provide a copy of the privacy policy to all individuals, via the Services and/or email, at the time of initial card registration, and will maintain an updated version for review on the Website. All Wellthi Service users are required to opt in to receipt of electronic disclosures (ESIGN) and any updates to the privacy policy will be delivered via email. To receive this privacy policy in writing, please write to us at Wellthi Privacy Policy; 80M Street, SE, Washington, DC 20003.

Collection of Information

We generally collect Personal Information in three ways: 1) information you provide to us, 2) information from third parties, and 3) information we collect automatically.

When you use, visit, or otherwise interact with the Services, for example, by contacting customer service, we collect Personal Information that you share with us or our third-party service providers. In order to establish a card account, Wellthi requests the customer to provider certain personal nonpublic information, including physical address, Social Security number, date of birth, email address, and other personal information that assist in verifying the identity of the individual. The full name, birth date and mobile phone number of a designee to help manage the account (often a spouse or partner) may also be requested to establish supplemental user rights to the applicant’s account, when available and if requested by the applicant.

If a minor requests that an account be created, we ask for the minor’s date of birth in order to determine whether the minor is eligible to set up their own account. Wellthi does not provide its Services to children younger than 18. We do not knowingly process any information from, or direct any of our products or services to children under the age of 18. Please do not provide us with any personal information related to children under the age of 18.

An account holder will often provide financial information to transfer funds from a bank account to fund the Wellthi account. This financial information is not provided to Wellthi. We use a third-party to affect this transfer of funds, and users provide the required information to transfer funds to our third-party vendor.

We may also obtain information about you from third parties, including, but not limited to, identity verification services, credit bureaus, financial institutions, and other users to verify your identity or account, detect fraud, engage in collections, or as may otherwise be required by applicable law.

Whenever you interact with the Services, we, as well as our service providers, may collect information about which of the Services you have used and how you have used them. This can include usage information, time and date of activities, location, IP address, operating system version, internet service provider identity, or other usage information. This information helps us manage, improve, and customize the Services’ features and functionality and can be used to identify you like Personal Information.

We also utilize “Cookies” on your computer, browser, mobile phone, or other device. We use Cookies to help provide additional functionality to the Services, including helping us analyze the Services’ usage more accurately. You are free to decline Cookies if permitted by your device, although doing so may interfere with your use of the Services.

Wellthi will only share customers’ personal information with contracted entities for everyday business purposes such as processing transactions, maintaining accounts, delivering benefits to your account, or responding to court orders and legal investigations.
