Please note: You may not withdraw consent for this sharing as outlined above.

It is important to understand the different ways that we may obtain your consent to collect, use, disclose, and share your Personal Information.

Depending on the situation and the sensitivity of the information, we may obtain your consent in different ways. Consent may be obtained verbally, online, or in writing from you. Consent may also be obtained through your use of a product, or when you approach us to obtain information, inquire about or apply for products or services from us.We will not make your consent a condition of obtaining a product or service, unless it is reasonably or legally required.

The length of time we keep your information will vary depending on the product or service and the nature of the Personal Information. We have retention standards that meet customer service, legal and regulatory requirements. For these reasons, we may keep your information beyond the end of your relationship with us.

When the information is no longer required, we securely destroy it or delete personally identifiable information.

Information located outside of Canada: Personal Information held on behalf of us by our affiliates, agents and/or service providers may be used, located and accessed in the United States or elsewhere outside of Canada and will be subject to the same levels of security as those described in the MBNA and CUETS Financial Privacy Notice, while also being subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which the information is held. For example, information may be disclosed in response to valid demands or requests from government authorities, courts, or law enforcement in these jurisdictions.

Sharing for business transactions: We may disclose Personal Information in order to manage our business including when we sell parts or all of our business or assets, insure, sell or securitize assets, merge or amalgamate all or parts of our business, or assign or transfer our rights to others (such as for the sale or collection of debts). This may encompass disclosing on a confidential basis your Personal Information on file (which may include Social Insurance Number if provided) to parties that may be participating in a proposed or an actual business transaction with us.

Authorized and/or Secondary Users: Authorized and/or Secondary Users may view, obtain or be provided with Personal Information about your Account, including transactions, through online banking, interactive voice response units, or other communications with us, including discussions initiated by us in respect of possible unauthorized use of your Account or for other reasons.

We or our service providers (whether engaged by or on behalf of us or any of our assignees) may collect, use and disclose Personal Information of Authorized Users and Secondary Users such as name and details of their transactions to: initiate, open, monitor, maintain, service, process, analyze, audit and collect on the Account (not withstanding that Authorized Users will not be held liable for amounts owing on the Account); protect the Account from identity theft, fraud and unauthorized use and access; and for any purpose required by law. All information on file for Authorized Users may be disclosed to the Primary Applicant. All information may also be shared with any person or entity to which we have assigned or transferred an interest in the Account, or any debt or interest due under the terms to be provided in the Account Agreement, if approved, and/or any of our rights and obligations under the Account Agreement (including any subsequent assignee or transferee).

We obtain most of our Personal Information about you directly from you.

The Personal Information we ask for depends on which product or service you want. For every product or service, we need your name, address, telephone number, date of birth, occupation, and identification information (either through electronic means or government issued identification).

At the time you begin your relationship with us and during the course of our relationship, we may collect Personal Information about you from various sources including from you directly through applications, correspondence or other communications, through the products and services you use, from others with your consent (such as credit reporting agencies and other lenders) or other permitted sources and use it for the purposes described above. Our objective when collecting, using, sharing, disclosing, and retaining Personal Information is to improve the relationship we have with you; provide you with products and services that you will value; reduce the cost associated with maintaining your (and others’) Accounts so that we may continue to provide you with a fairly priced product; reduce unwanted or inappropriate marketing; and protect you from unauthorized access to and use of your Account and Personal Information.

**Social Insurance Number (SIN): If you provide your Social Insurance Number (SIN), we will use it to match credit reporting agency information and for security verification and Account maintenance purposes. Disclosure of SIN to match credit bureau information is optional for credit/charge or other loan products. Your SIN allows us to distinguish you from other individuals, particularly those with similar names and helps ensure the accuracy of the information collected and reported.

Date of Birth: Date of birth is required in certain circumstances to comply with “Know Your Customer” standards and for security reasons. It also allows us to determine your eligibility for certain products or services.

Financial Information: Financial information may include other account records, financial statements, tax returns, employment income, and credit information. This is used to assess your eligibility for any credit product. We may collect information from you and service providers with whom you may have arrangements to provide those services (for example when you set up bill payments to your account). We will use your Personal Information, including transaction records that reflect your business dealings with and through us, to analyze your activities to help us serve you as a customer and meet your needs.

Health Information: In certain appropriate circumstances, we or others providing you products or services through us may ask for health information for specific services (such as insurance) or other requests. This type of information will not be used for any purpose other than to address the specific product, service or request. We will not request or use health information to assess a credit application.

Business Client Information:Information essential for fulfilling most financial requests and applications includes your business name, address, contact information, e-mail, industry type, financial status, and detail(s) on the owner(s), shareholder(s), ownership structure, account administrator(s), operator(s), authorized users, and officers and director(s).

E-mail, Text message, and Other Electronic Communications: Either through your credit card application or when you send us an e-mail or ask us to respond to you by email, we learn your exact e-mail address and the information you have included in the e-mail.

We may send customer service and marketing messages to you electronically. Examples of customer service include electronic account statements, collection notices, and other notices. We may also provide payment due, account balance, transaction confirmations, approaching credit limit, payment received and other account alerts.

We will not ask you to provide Personal Information or login information, such as username, passwords, PINs, security questions and answers or account numbers, through e-mail (either solicited or unsolicited).

If you receive an e-mail claiming to be from MBNA and/or CUETS Financial that you believe to be fraudulent or otherwise suspicious, do not respond and do not open or click on any links or open attachments contained within the e-mail. Please notify us immediately by forwarding a copy of the e-mail to us at emailfraud@mbna.com and delete the e-mail immediately after notifying us.

Telephone and Online Chat: For our mutual protection, we may monitor and/or record your telephone and/or online chat discussions with our representatives and those acting on our behalf (including affiliates, service providers, and other third parties) to enhance customer service and to confirm our discussions with you. Customers who prefer not to have their calls taped and/or online chat recorded can transact through online banking or through our telephone interactive voice response unit (IVR).

Internet and Online Banking: When you are using one of our websites, we may monitor and/or record your browsing habits as described in our Internet Privacy Practices.

Politically Exposed Persons: We are required by law to determine whether we have customers who are politically exposed persons and comply with certain legal requirements. There are also regulatory guidelines which indicate we should assess the risk associated with customers who are politically exposed persons. We use Personal Information, publicly available information, commercial database(s) and credit reporting agencies to determine whether you and/or any of your Authorized and Secondary Users are politically exposed persons. More information on politically exposed persons is available at www.fintrac.gc.ca.

We may also provide your information to other persons in situations where:

• our suppliers, agents or third parties that perform services for you or for us on our behalf need the information
• our payment card networks need the information in order to operate or administer the payment card system that supports the Account you have with us, or for any other reasonable purpose, including for any contests or other promotions that they may make available to you
• we are required or permitted to do so by law or applicable regulators or self-regulatory organizations
