MoneyGram Privacy Notice for California Residents

 

Effective Date: January 1, 2020

Last Updated : July 1, 2024

Purpose

This Privacy Notice for California Residents (“ Notice ”) supplements the information contained in MoneyGram’s Global Privacy Notice and applies to all visitors, users, and others who reside in the State of California (“ consumers ” or “ you ”). We adopt this Notice to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“ CCPA ”) and any terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the CCPA.

 

Scope

The specific personal information that we collect, use, and disclose relating to a California resident covered by the CCPA will vary based on our relationship or interaction with that individual. This means that even though the CCPA generally applies to personal information that identifies, relates to, or could reasonably be linked with a particular California resident, it may not apply to certain personal information that is subject to certain sector-specific privacy laws. This means, for example, personal information that is subject to more restrictive privacy laws, such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“ GLBA ”), or MoneyGram collects and uses as a provider of money transfer services and products that is subject to GLBA, will not be subject to CCPA. For more information about how we collect, disclose and secure information relating to these consumers, please refer to our US Privacy Statement .

YOUR RIGHTS AND CHOICES UNDER CCPA

The CCPA provides consumers who are California residents with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

    (1) Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, to the extent allowed by law, we will disclose to you:

  • The categories of personal information we collected about you.
  • The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting your personal information.
  • The categories of third parties with whom we share your personal information.
  • The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you.

(2) Deletion Request Rights

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies. For example, we will not honor your request where we need the personal information to comply with a legal obligation; there are internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it; the disclosure of personal information would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of another consumer; or where the personal information that we maintain about you is not subject to the CCPA’s access or deletion rights.

You do not need to create an account with us to submit a request to know or delete.

HOW TO EXERCISE YOUR RIGHTS

If you are a California resident, to exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, you may submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period.

Your request to know or delete must:

  • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative.
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five ( 45 ) days of its receipt. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request's receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

We reserve the right to amend this Notice at our discretion at any time. When we make changes to this Notice, we will post the updated Notice on our Website and update the Notice's effective date. Your continued use of our Website following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes .  

NON-DISCRIMINATION

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under CCPA. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

  • Deny you goods or services.
  • Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
  • Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.

Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
