PERSONAL INFORMATION – WHAT WE COLLECT
Personal Information means information that identifies a specific individual person. This may include provided primarily by you through forms, applications, or other fields in the Mobile App or on the Site including name, postal or email addresses, mobile telephone numbers, account numbers, usernames and passwords. We may also collect social security numbers, government ID numbers, and other personally identifiable information when you provide information while using our online services.
We only collect Personally Information when it is submitted to us voluntarily by the user through our Site and Mobile App in order to process applications, onboard applicants, and in connection with completing transactions you request. We may also collect Personal Information as you interact with our customer service department or otherwise provide information to us in connection with your use of a Globaling account. To use a Globaling account, your identity must be verified. To verify your identity, Globaling uses an application that collects your photo identification, a live “selfie” of you, and also temporarily extracts and collects certain data from your photograph and your “selfie”, and then uses that data to conduct a comparison to verify your identity. After the verification, we retain your photo identification and “selfie” to reverify the account-holder’s identity again at a later date, if necessary.
We share Personal Information with certain affiliates and service providers in order to maintain and service your account, and to complete transactions at your request. We do not share Personal Information with non-affiliates for marketing purposes. For more information, please review our U.S. Consumer Privacy Notice.
