Financial companies choose how they share your personal information. Federal law gives consumers the right to limit some but not all sharing. Federal law also requires us to tell you how we collect, share, and protect your personal information. Please read this notice carefully to understand what we do.
What?
The types of personal information we collect, and share depend on the product or service you have with us. This information can include:
Social Security number
Account balances and payment history
Account transactions and credit history
Name, address, date of birth, and telephone number
When you are no longer our customer, we continue to share your information as described in this notice.
How?

In the section below, we list the reasons financial companies can share their customers’ personal information; the reasons Healthcare Finance Direct chooses to share; and whether you can limit this sharing.
