Companies choose how they share your personal information and federal law provides consumers with the right to limit some, but not all, of the sharing of your personal information. Balance voluntarily complies with federal law in this area. Please read this notice carefully to understand how we collect, share, and protect your personal information.
The types of personal information we collect and share depend upon the product or service you have with us. We collect and share a variety of personal information from you during the term of our relationship with you. This information can include:

What we do
How does Balance protect my personal information?
To protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use, we use security measures that comply with federal law. These measures include computer safeguards and secured files and buildings.
How does Balance collect my personal information?
We collect your personal information in a number of ways, for example, when you
• Apply for a product;
• Provide application information; or
• Give us your contact information; or
• Co-own a home with us.
We also collect your personal information from other parties, such as credit bureaus, escrow and settlement companies, and affiliates.
Why can’t I limit all sharing?
Federal law gives you the right to limit only
• sharing for affiliates’ everyday business purposes — information about your creditworthiness
• affiliates from using your information to market to you
• sharing for nonaffiliates to market to you
State laws and individual companies may give you additional rights to limit sharing.
What happens when I limit sharing for a product or service I hold jointly with someone else?
Your choices will apply to everyone on your product or service.
