Principle #1: We are Accountable to You
Principle #2: We will Identify the Purpose for Collecting your Personal Information
Principle #3: We will Obtain Consent to Manage Personal Information
Cardholder Support will collect your express consent (verbal, written or electronic) when the Personal Information is sensitive or its collection, use or disclosure is outside of the reasonable expectations of you providing it, or that creates a meaningful risk of significant harm that is not otherwise mitigated.
Cardholder Support may rely on implied consent in the following scenarios:
a customer relationship already exists;
express consent has previously been given for the same or similar use of the Personal Information; and
where the intended use of the information is reasonably obvious from the context in which it is obtained and you provide the information voluntarily.
Subject to legal, regulatory and contractual requirements, you may withdraw your consent to our collection, use or disclosure of your Personal Information. However, depending on the circumstances, the withdrawal of your consent may prevent us from providing you or continuing to provide you with some services or information that may be of value to you. In addition, you should be aware that we may collect, use or share your Personal Information without your knowledge or consent in exceptional circumstances where such collection, use or disclosure is permitted or required by law. For example, we may collect, use or share your Personal Information to investigate a breach of an agreement or law, in response to a demand, search warrant or court order we believe to be valid, to realize on security pledged, or to investigate and deter fraud.
Principle #4: We will Limit the Collection of Your Personal Information
Principle #5: We will Limit the Use, Disclosure and Retention of Your Personal Information
Principle #6: We will Keep Your Personal Information Accurate
