I just received this email from my bank, Chase. Here's a few choice policy changes that really jazzed up my weekend:
First...
Customer privacy and security have never been more important. We want you to know what we're doing to protect your privacy and keep your information secure. Following is a copy of our Federal Privacy Policy and our California Privacy Notice, which are for all of your Chase accounts.
Then...
Q. What information do you have about me?
A. To provide services and to help meet your needs, we collect information about you from various sources:
* We get information from your requests for our products or services. One example is income on loan applications.
* We get information about your transactions with us and with others. For example, we have your account balance information.
* We get information, such as your credit history, from credit bureaus.
and what do you do with this??
Q. Is information about me shared within your family of companies?
A. Yes.
Q. Is information about me shared with service providers and financial companies outside your family of companies?
A. Yes.
Q. Is information about me shared with non-financial companies outside your family of companies?
A. Yes.
Q. Is information about me shared in any other ways?
A. Yes.
Considering I was with WaMu and Chase gobbled them up, I feel like I'm riding the beefy Facebook sausage of privacy r@pe as a paid service, not a Free one. That totally rocks. Time to go "red stapler" on the world and heat things up
