Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

The breadth of data collected — including Social Security numbers, income, and wire transfer instructions — creates significant privacy and identity theft risk if shared with or accessed by unauthorized parties.

View original clause language
The types of personal information we collect and share depend on the product or service you have with us. This information can include: Social Security number and income, Account balances and payment history, Credit history and credit scores, Checking account information and wire transfer instructions.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Collection and retention of Social Security numbers implicates GLBA safeguards requirements (16 CFR Part 314, FTC Safeguards Rule) and state SSN protection laws (e.g., California Civ. Code §1798.85). Credit score and credit history sharing is governed by FCRA 15 U.S.C. §1681 et seq. Wire transfer data is subject to Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. §5311) recordkeeping requirements. Income data may constitute sensitive personal information under CCPA §1798.140(ae), triggering heightened protection requirements under CPRA.
