The Company may disclose your personal information to a third-party for a
business purpose or sell your personal information, subject to your right to
opt-out of those sales (see ‘Sales of Personal Information’ below). When we
disclose personal information for a business purpose, we enter a contract that
describes the purpose and requires the recipient to both keep that personal
information confidential and not use it for any purpose except performing the
contract. The CCPA prohibits third parties who purchase the personal information
we hold from reselling it unless you have received explicit notice and an
opportunity to opt-out of further sales (see ‘Sales of Personal Information’
below).  

We may share your personal information with the following categories of third
parties:

 * Subsidiaries and affiliates.
 * Contractors and service providers.

others’ apps). To tailor ads that may be more relevant to you, we and/or our
partners may share the information we collect with third parties.

If you do not wish for us or our partners to sell your personal information to
third parties for advertising purposes, click the “Do Not Sell My Info” link

measuring the effectiveness of our ads, managing how many times you may see an
ad, reporting on the performance of our ads, ensuring services are working

when and where you may see ads and/or reducing ad fraud. If you access our

ensure your choice applies to the data collected when you use those devices or
browsers. Additionally, although clicking the “Do Not Sell My Info” link will

purposes, it will not opt you out of the use of previously collected and sold
personal information (except for personal information sold within 90 days prior
to your exercising your right to opt out) or all interest-based advertising. If
you would like more information about how to opt out of interest-based
advertising in desktop and mobile browsers on a particular device, please

Your Rights and Choices

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

Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights

You have the right to request that the Company 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, 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 or selling that personal
   information.
 * The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
 * The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also
   called a data portability request).
 * If we disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, we will
   identify the personal information categories that each category of recipient
   obtained.

Deletion Request Rights

You have the right to request that the Company 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.

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for
us or our service provider(s) to:

 1. Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information,
    provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably
    anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with
    you, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
 2. Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent,
    or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
 3. Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended
    functionality.
 4. Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their
    free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
 5. Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal
    Code § 1546 et. seq.).
 6. Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical
    research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics
    and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render
    impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously
    provided informed consent.
 7. Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer
    expectations based on your relationship with us.
 8. Comply with a legal obligation.
 9. Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible
    with the context in which you provided it.

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above,
please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:

 * Calling us at (844) 394-6946; Monday-Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (U.S.
   Eastern Time)
 * Emailing us at datarights@marquisww.com

Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you
authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related
to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on
behalf of your minor child.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability
twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request 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.

Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account
with us.

We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request
to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing and Format

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 in accordance with CCPA requirements.

If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that
account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written
response by mail or electronically, at your option.

 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. For data portability
requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is
readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity
to another entity without hindrance.

 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.

Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights

If you are 16 years of age or older, you have the right to direct us to not sell
your personal information at any time (the “right to opt-out”). We do not sell
the personal information of consumers we actually know are less than 16 years of
age, unless we receive affirmative authorization (the “right to opt-in”) from
either the consumer who is between 13 and 16 years of age, or the parent or
guardian of a consumer less than 13 years of age. Consumers who opt-in to
personal information sales may opt-out of future sales at any time.

To exercise the right to opt-out, you (or your authorized representative) may
submit a request to us by emailing optout@marquisww.com .

Once you make an opt-out request, we will wait at least twelve (12) months
before asking you to reauthorize personal information sales. However, you may
change your mind and opt back in to personal information sales at any time by
clearing cookies from your browser or emailing optout@marquisww.com.

 You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your opt-out rights.
We will only use personal information provided in an opt-out request to review
and comply with the request.

Non-Discrimination

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

 * Deny you goods or services.
 * Charge you different prices or rates for like-goods or services, including
   through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
 * Provide you a different level or quality of like-goods or services.
 * Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for like-goods or
   services or a different level or quality of like-goods or services.

However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA
that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels.  Any
CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your
Personal Information’s value and contain written terms that describe the
program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program
requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time.  We
currently provide the following financial incentives:

by sending an email to optout@marquisww.com (or call 1-844-394-6946, option 2)
to request that we not share your Personally Identifiable Information with third
parties.

Please note that if you decide to opt out of receiving promotional information

products from Marquis or changes to this Privacy Policy.

Amended Telemarketing Sales Rule

We may share aggregate and statistical data that does not identify you
personally. We may do this for research and marketing purposes, for instance to
describe our services to prospective partners or advertisers, and for other
lawful purposes. You agree that by submitting your e-mail address at the Website
you may receive email marketing from us and our third party advertisers. In
addition, you agree that such act constitutes a purchase, an inquiry and/or an
application for purposes of the Amended Telemarketing Sales Rule, 16 CFR ยง310
et seq. (the “ATSR”). With respect to the ATSR, and notwithstanding that your
telephone number may be listed on the Federal Trade Commission’s Do-Not-Call
List, we or our designee retain the right and you hereby expressly authorize us
and/or our designee to contact you via telemarketing in accordance with the
terms of the ATSR. Moreover, by registering with, or requesting information from
us or another third party advertiser at or through the Website, such action
shall constitute a purchase, an inquiry and/or an application with the
respective affiliated third party advertiser for purposes of their compliance
with the ATSR and you may be contacted via e-mail, instant messaging, text
messaging, direct mail and/or telemarketing by such third party advertiser in
accordance with the terms of the ATSR.

How We Use and Share Financial Information

As set forth hereinabove, we do not collect social security information.
However, to the extent applicable, for purposes of compliance with the
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, 15 U.S.C. 6802 (the “GLB Act”), the California Financial
Information Privacy Act (“CFIPA”) and the Vermont Consumer Protection Act, 8
V.S.A. 10202 (“VCPA”), we will not share nonpublic personally identifiable
financial information with our affiliates or non-affiliates without providing
borrowers with an annual Privacy Notice explaining that we will be sharing this
nonpublic personally identifiable information with our affiliates or
non-affiliates and, for purposes of the GLB Act, providing borrowers with the
opportunity to opt-out from such disclosures.

For purposes of compliance with the GLB Act, the CFIPA and the VCPA, this
Privacy Policy shall serve as both your initial customer relationship and annual
Privacy Notice as defined under the GLB Act, CFIPA and VCPA, respectively. If
you would like to opt-out from the disclosure of your personal information to
any third party for marketing purposes, please email us at info@marquisww.com.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right to share personally
identifiable financial information in accordance with the terms of the GLB Act,
for California State residents only, the CFIPA and, for Vermont State residents
only, the VCPA. The nonpublic personal information of California State residents
shall not be shared by us with third parties unless: (i) we have obtained a
fully executed consent acknowledgement from the applicable California resident;
or (ii) the California resident already has a relationship with a nonaffiliated
financial institution pursuant to, and as defined under, the CFIPA. If you are a
resident of the State of California and would like to opt-out from the
disclosure of your personal information to any third party for marketing
purposes, please email us at info@marquisww.com. However, where California
residents opt-out from permitting their personal information to be shared with
third party marketing partners, such individuals may still receive selected
offers directly from us, in accordance with the law. Notwithstanding the
foregoing and despite the fact that we do not collect Social Security
information, we nevertheless hereby agree not to share the Social Security
Number of California State residents with third parties without first obtaining
their consent to do so pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the
CFIPA. California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits visitors to our Website,
who are California residents, to request certain information regarding its
disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing
purposes. To make such a request, please send us an e-mail or write us at the
address below.

Again, to the extent applicable, for purposes of compliance with the VCPA, we
will not share nonpublic personal financial information (as defined in the VCPA)
with third parties without providing Vermont State residents with an annual
notice explaining that we will be sharing this nonpublic personal information
with non-affiliated third parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the nonpublic
personal financial information of Vermont State residents shall not be shared by
us with nonaffiliated third-parties unless: (i) we have obtained authorization
from the applicable Vermont resident; provided, however, that such authorization
must be in written form, or where the applicable Vermont resident agrees,
electronic form; (ii) the disclosure is made to third-parties for the sole
purpose of processing transactions or other related processes on our behalf;
and/or (iii) the disclosure is made to third-parties that market our own
services to our borrowers.

Third Party Links

When you connect to the Website through third party websites, those websites
might share information about you with us. Those third party websites may show
information about you to us, however the sharing of this information is
determined by their privacy policies. While we currently do not advertise on the
Website, we do not endorse, nor are we responsible for the accuracy of, the
privacy policies and/or terms and conditions of any third party advertisers that
may advertise at the Website. The entities that may advertise and/or place
banner ads at our Website including, but not limited to, these third party
advertisers, are independent third parties and are not affiliated with us. We
encourage our users to be aware when they leave our Website and to read the
privacy policies of each and every website that collects personally identifiable
information. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by us
or on our Website.

Data Security

Securing your information is a company priority. When our
registration/application process requests that you provide us with sensitive
information and when we store and transmit such sensitive information, that
information is encrypted and is protected with SSL encryption software. While we
use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do
everything in our power to protect user information off-line. However, no method
of security is 100% effective and we cannot be responsible for the actions of
those who may gain unauthorized access to your personal information. Marquis
makes no warranties, express, implied or otherwise as to the ultimate
effectiveness of these reasonable and appropriate safeguards. All collected
information is stored in a technically and physically secure environment. Access
to this information is strictly limited, and not accessible to the public. Only
employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example an
account representative) are granted access to personal information. Our
employees are dedicated to ensuring the security and privacy of all user
information. Employees not adhering to our firm policies are subject to
disciplinary action. In compliance with applicable federal and state laws, we
shall notify you and any applicable regulatory agencies in the event that we
learn of an information security breach with respect to your personal
information. You will be notified via e-mail in the event of such a breach.
Please be advised that notice may be delayed in order to address the needs of
law enforcement, determine the scope of network damage, and to engage in
remedial measures. Your account information is protected by the password you use
to access your online account. Please keep this password confidential. If your
browser is capable of SSL (and most are), your account information will be
protected during transport across the Internet. We comply with industry standard
requirements. These standards require safeguards for handling and securing
borrower information. These include using secure networks; encryption or other
protection of cardholder data; physical and technical access controls; monitors
and tests of security systems; and information security policies.

Minors

We are committed to protecting the online privacy of minors. In order to protect
children’s personal information, and to meet the standards of the Children’s
Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), we do not knowingly collect personally
identifiable information from children under the age of 18 on the Website.

Changes to the Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to change or update this Privacy Policy at any time by
posting a notice at the Website explaining that we are changing our Privacy
Policy. If the manner in which we use personal information changes, we will
notify our users by posting the changes on the Website and sending out an e-mail
or mail notification to our impacted customers notifying them of the changes,
and providing them with the opportunity to opt-out of the provisions relating to
the transfer of their personal information. Other than where the user opts-out,
and other than where affirmative consent is required for California residents
and Vermont residents, the user’s continued use of our Website and/or continued
receipt of our e-mails constitutes an affirmative acknowledgement and acceptance
by the user of the modified Privacy Policy.

Should you wish to opt-out of our privacy policy at any time, please email us at
optout@marquisww.com.
