Need Access Privacy Policy

Keeping consumer information secure, and using it only as our consumers would want us to, is a top priority for all of us at Access Group, Inc. Here is our Need Access privacy policy:

We will impose strict standards of security and confidentiality and maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal regulations to guard any information you share with us. (See Information Collection and Security Procedures)

We will limit the collection of your information to the minimum required to administer the Need Access service and restrict internal access to your nonpublic personal information to authorized, trained employees on a "need to know" basis. Employees who violate our privacy policies will be subject to our normal disciplinary process.

Whenever we hire other organizations to provide support services, we will require them to conform to our privacy standards with respect to the information you have provided us, and we will seek the contractual right to audit them for compliance.

We will not reveal your information to other companies that may want to sell their products or services to you. For example, we will not sell your name to a catalogue company.

We may amend our privacy policy from time to time.

All of our privacy policies apply to our former consumers as well as our current consumers.

What information do we collect about you?

"Nonpublic personal information" (NPI) is information about you that we obtain in connection with providing a financial product or service. Such information includes, for example, your Social Security number and date of birth. We collect nonpublic personal information about you from the Need Access application or other forms that you fill out, which provide us with most of the information we use, such as your name, address, social security number, and course of study.

With whom do we share information about you?

Access Group does not disclose nonpublic personal information about you to any entities except as directed by you and except as permitted by federal law, specifically the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. For instance, we are required by law to disclose certain information about you to comply with legal requirements, such as when subpoenaed in connection with an alleged fraud.
