This Policy describes how we manage personal information about you when you interact with us online through our websites, mobile applications and social sites (a "Site" or the "Sites"), using your computer, smartphone, tablet or other mobile device (a "Device" or the Devices"). We maintain our Sites and provide services through them for your information and communication purposes, as well as for purposes associated with the marketing, origination, and servicing of our products and services (the "Service" or "Services"). This Policy also explains how GBank collects personal information that you may provide when you visit, use or interact with us online, and through our ads displayed through online services operated by us or non-affiliated third parties. In addition, this Policy explains how we may use or share personal information collected to provide our Services to you and for advertising purposes.

Please read this Policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is not to use our Sites. By using our Sites, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Policy.

Our Sites and Services are intended for use only by United States residents, while located in the United States. If you are not a United States resident, or are located in a country other than the United States, you may not use our Sites or request and obtain Services from us through those Sites.

Additional privacy rights and notices will apply if you are a California resident. See the section below called Your California Privacy Rights for more information about your rights under California law.

A different privacy policy applies if you request or receive a financial product or service from us by using this Site or otherwise. See our Privacy Policy | GBank | Las Vegas, Henderson - Nevada for more information about how we collect and disclose nonpublic personal information about you and other consumers who may request or receive a financial product or service from us.

We work with third party providers that are contractually obligated to comply with our policies for protecting information. However, if you visit or access one of these third party provider sites or mobile apps, please review the online privacy policies that apply to the third party provider's site or mobile app to understand the specifics of how your online personal information may be collected, used and shared.

GBank's Online Privacy Practices

GBank is committed to transparency about your personal information. In some cases, we may ask for your express consent to use or disclose your personal information (for example, if we determine that your express consent is required or advisable under applicable law). Otherwise, when you use our Site and Services, you consent to the collection, use and sharing of your personal information as described by this Policy, subject to applicable law and other notices we may have provided to you based on our relationship with you and based on the Services you obtain from us using our Sites or otherwise.

Linking To Other Sites

We may provide links to non-affiliated third party sites, such as credit bureaus, service providers or merchants. If you follow links to any site that is not affiliated with or controlled by GBank, you should review their privacy and security policies and other terms and conditions, because the policies of those third parties may be different from those that apply to our Sites and Services. We do not guarantee and are not responsible for the privacy or security of these third party sites or for the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of information found on those other sites.

Personal Information We Collect

Cookies and similar tracking technologies are also used to gather information to improve website design and functionality and assist with resolving questions regarding our Sites.

Cookies set by GBank and cookies created and set by third party providers on our behalf are called "first-party" cookies. Cookies set by third-party providers, but which are not set on our behalf, are called "third-party" cookies.

Geolocation cookies are only session cookies.

We will retain personal information collected through cookies for as long as needed or permitted by law in light of the purpose(s) for which it was obtained.

The third party provider is solely responsible for cookies, cookie tracking and your choices for managing cookies on its site. Please refer to the privacy policy and terms of use posted by the third party provider for more information.

Industry standards are currently evolving and we may not separately respond to or take any action with respect to a "do not track" configuration set in your Internet browser.

Additional Information

Third party data sharing

Some companies may offer aggregation websites and services that allow you to share your data with them to consolidate your account information from different sources (such as your accounts with us or with other financial institutions), so you can view it in one location or perform actions related to your accounts using their services. To do this, a third party may request you to authorize access to your GBank accounts by providing your GBank username and passcode or by providing your information-sharing consent directly to GBank. Please be careful about using these third parties and keep the following details in mind if you choose to use these third party service providers:

  • The third party may access, on your behalf, detailed and personally identifiable information about you, about your accounts, transactions, and relationship with us, and about the Services you obtain from and through us;
  • You should use caution and ensure the third party has appropriate policies and practices to protect the privacy and security of any personal information you provide or to which they are gaining access;
  • Use of your information by the third party is governed by your agreement with them, not by any agreement you have with us;
  • We are not responsible for the use or disclosure of any personal information accessed by any company or person to whom you provide your username and passcode;
  • If you share your GBank username and passcode or other information about your accounts with others, we will consider your decision to share this information with others to mean that you have authorized any transaction or action that is initiated using the access information you provided;
  • If you decide to revoke the authority you have given to a third party, we strongly recommend that you change your GBank passcode to ensure that the third party cannot continue to access your account.

Social media

We may engage with customers and potential customers on social media platforms, such as Facebook®, Twitter®, YouTube® and LinkedIn®.

  • Any content you post on official GBank managed social media pages, such as pictures, information, opinions or any personal information that you make available to other participants on these social platforms, is subject to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policies of those respective platforms.
  • When interacting with official GBank social media pages, GBank's privacy notices and any applicable social media user terms and community guidelines may apply.
  • Please review the privacy policy for the specific social media service you are using to better understand your rights and obligations with regard to such content.

We may allow social share buttons on our sites that enable users to easily share information on social media platforms. The non-affiliated third parties that own these widgets may have access to information about your browsing on pages of our Sites where these widgets are placed.

Your California Privacy Rights

Effective Date: March 16, 2023

Last Updated and Reviewed: March 16, 2023

This Privacy Policy for California Residents ("California Privacy Policy") supplements the information contained in our general Policy and applies solely to 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"). Any terms defined by the CCPA have the same meaning when used in this California Privacy Policy.

We collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer, household, or device ("personal information").

Personal information does not include:

  • Publicly available information from government records;
  • Deidentified or aggregated consumer information; and
  • Information excluded from the CCPA's scope, such as personal information covered by certain sector-specific privacy laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) or California Financial Information Privacy Act (FIPA), and the Driver's Privacy Protection Act of 1994.

In particular, we have collected the following categories of personal information from consumers within the last twelve (12) months:

table categories

  • To fulfill or meet the reason you provided the information. For example, if you share your name and contact information to request a prequalified offer or ask a question about our products or services, we will use that personal information to respond to your inquiry. If you provide your personal information to obtain a product or service, we will use that information to process your request and facilitate delivery. We may also save your information to facilitate new orders or process transactions.

We will not collect additional categories of personal information or use the personal information we collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes without providing you notice.

Sharing Personal Information

We may share your personal information by disclosing it to a third party for a business purpose. We make these business purpose disclosures only under written contracts that describe the purposes, require the recipient to keep the personal information confidential, and prohibit using the disclosed information for any purpose except performing the contract.

In the preceding twelve (12) months, we have disclosed personal information for a business purpose to the categories of third parties indicated in the chart below.

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.

Right to Know and Data Portability

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 (the "right to know"). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete), 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 that personal information;
  • The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information;
  • If we disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, a list that describes the disclosures we made for a business purpose, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained; and
  • The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).

Right to Delete

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 (the "right to delete"). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete), we will review your request to see if an exception allowing us to retain the information applies. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

  • 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, fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
  • Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
  • Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
  • Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
  • Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.).
  • Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
  • Comply with a legal obligation.
  • Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.
  • We will delete or deidentify personal information not subject to one of these exceptions from our records and will direct our service providers to take similar action.

Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete

To exercise your rights to know or delete described above, please submit a request by either:

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request to know or delete related to your personal information.
You may only submit a request to know 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.

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

We will only use personal information provided in the request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make it.

Response Timing and Format

We will confirm receipt of your request within ten (10) business days. If you do not receive confirmation within the 10-day timeframe, please contact us using the contact information included in the section above called Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete.

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

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 our receipt of your request. 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.

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 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.
