Special notice for California residents:

Effective January 1, 2020, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) gives California residents the right to know how we will be collecting and maintaining personal information including credit report data to assist you with your financial wellness. We collect this information from you, credit bureaus, public databases, data aggregators, and other commercially available sources. The categories of this personal information include:
  • Contact information such as name, email address, mailing address, and phone number.
  • Identification numbers such as your Social Security number, driver’s license number, passport identification number, and medical card number.
  • Financial information such as credit card information and banking information.

We do not sell your personal information.

At Credit Sesame, we only share personal information in ways that we tell you about. We do not sell or rent personal information to third parties and we do not share personal information with third parties that are not owned by us or under our control or direction except as described in our Privacy Policy.

Service providers. We share personal information with service providers that help us with our business activities. They only are authorized to process that information as necessary and as directed by us.

Required by law. If we are required to disclose personal information as part of a legal process, we will take commercially reasonable steps to inform you as part of that process. We may also be required to disclose personal information in response to lawful requests by government authorities, including requests from national security agencies or law enforcement.

Safety, fraud prevention, government requests and protection of our rights. These are all reasons where we may share personal information when we believe, in good faith, it is necessary.

Mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, or asset sales but only if the acquiring organization agrees to this Policy’s protections.
