Our Services may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of our partner networks, advertisers and affiliates. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility for them. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these websites.
We use third parties such as network advertisers to serve advertisements on third-party websites 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. These third-party cookies and other technologies are governed by each third party’s specific privacy policy, not this one. We provide these third-party advertisers with information, including personal information, about you.
Users 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. If you are in the EU, you may opt-out of certain third party cookies that we and other websites may use for targeted advertising through the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA) Your Online Choices Page or www.aboutads.info.
Opting out from one or more companies listed on the DAA Consumer Choice Page, the NAI Consumer Opt-Out Page, or the EDAA’s Your Online Choices 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, NAI, or EDAA websites, your opt out may not be effective.
If you are a California resident you may have additional rights to data protection and privacy under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). Under the CCPA, you have the right to request that businesses (as defined in the CCPA) disclose certain information to you about business’ collection and use of your personal information during the preceding 12 month period. Additionally, you also have the right to request that the business delete your personal information, subject to certain exceptions. If the business sells personal information you have a right to request that your personal information not be sold. A business cannot discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under the CCPA.
In connection with its business operations, Volante believes that it is acting as a “service provider” rather than a “business”, although many of the banks and financial institutions to whom we provide products and services may be considered “businesses” under the CCPA. [Substantially all][All] personal information collected by our clients is encrypted or otherwise deidentified (as defined in the CCPA) before it is processed by our products and services and Volante does not have any access to personally identifiable information. If Volante receives personally identifiable information, Volante’s receipt and use of any consumer personal data is performed on behalf of its clients for purposes of providing our products and services to those clients. If you have any questions about what personal data may be collected and how it is used in connection with Volante’s products and services, or any other questions about your CCPA rights, please direct those questions directly to your bank or other financial institution.

We may need to verify your identity before we can respond to your request. Volante does not, and has never, sold the personal data we collect to any third party.
In the event that you choose to exercise your rights under the CCPA, Volante will not discriminate against you by charging you different prices or provide you with a different quality of products or services.
