MLD Mortgage, Inc. dba The Money Store® (“The Money Store”, the “Company”, “we”, or “us”) understands the importance of maintaining consumer privacy and complies with its obligations to protect consumer privacy, as set forth in the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”).
The purpose of this Privacy Notice is to provide California residents with information regarding certain rights that the residents have under the CCPA and to explain The Money Store’s information collection and sharing practices of Personal Information pursuant to the requirements of the CCPA. For the purposes of this CCPA Privacy Notice, “Personal Information” means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked (directly or indirectly), with a particular consumer or household.
This CCPA Privacy Notice is intended to supplement The Money Store’s general privacy policy and to clarify additional rights and obligations under the CCPA for California residents. Our general privacy policy is located here.
Rights of California Residents Under the CCPA
The CCPA affords California residents the following rights, and The Money Store has implemented procedures to ensure that California residents are afforded these rights:
- The right to know, both by category and by specific pieces of information, what Personal Information is collected, used, shared, or sold
- The right to deletion. Consumers can generally demand that the Company, as well as its business service providers, delete Personal Information that is retained by the businesses. If you make a request to delete information, we may require verification of your identity and confirmation that you would like your data deleted. However, the Company is not required to delete information where the information is needed in order to provide a service requested by the consumer, if the Company has a regulatory requirement to retain the data, or if we need to maintain the data for any legal or regulatory purposes.
- The right to opt out of the sale of Personal Information. While this is a right under the CCPA, note that The Money Store does not sell Personal Information.
- The right to access a free copy of all Personal Information collected on a consumer by the Company, which we share with consumers, when requested, after verifying a consumer’s identity
- The right to equal service and pricing, even if a privacy right is exercised under the CCPA. The Company will not deny any goods or services to a consumer who chooses to exercise his/her rights under the CCPA. Additionally, we will not charge or propose that a consumer receive different prices or rates for goods or services, or a different level of service or quality of goods, or take any other measures to discriminate against a consumer for exercising his/her rights under the CCPA.
