NPI Collection

In the course of its day-to-day operations, Ascensus sometimes has access to non-public personal information about a consumer ("NPI"), as that term is defined by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 and the various regulations promulgated thereunder ("G-L-B"). Although Ascensus is not a "financial institution" as defined by G-L-B, many of Ascensus' clients and customers are "financial institutions" subject to G-L-B.

NPI Use

Ascensus will use NPI only in connection with providing services contracted for by customers' financial institutions. Except as necessary to provide such services, Ascensus will not sell, share or rent NPI to persons or entities other than the customers' financial institutions.

Other provisions of G-L-B, such as the notification requirements and the "opt-out" provisions, are the responsibility of the financial institution and not Ascensus.

Current Practices of Ascensus That Involve Collection of NPI

As of the date that Ascensus adopted this policy, most products and services provided by Ascensus did not involve the collection of, or access to, NPI, with the exception of processing of certain retirement accounts and certain of Ascensus' web hosting services.

Ascensus Employees' Access to NPI

Ascensus will limit access to NPI to Ascensus employees and agents that need to know the NPI for business reasons. All Ascensus employees are trained to respect the privacy of NPI, and those who violate this policy will be subject to discipline.

Notification of Changes

Ascensus reserves the right to modify its policy regarding NPI at any time. If Ascensus changes its policy regarding NPI, Ascensus will post notification of the change on the Homepage of this Web-site. If at any point Ascensus decides to use NPI in a manner different from that stated above, Ascensus will notify the affected financial institutions. Users should review this privacy statement regularly.
