HOW IMPRUVU SHARES YOUR INFORMATION
Impruvu will share your personal information with nonaffiliates (companies not related by common ownership or control) and among affiliates (companies related by common ownership or control, including but not limited to the companies covered by this policy) only in the ways that are described in this Policy. By law, you are permitted to limit some types of sharing, but not others.
Impruvu shares your information with third parties as permitted by law, including in the following specific ways:
IMPORTANT PRIVACY CHOICES
Consent to information sharing with third party companies (Referral Partners)
By accepting this Policy, you agree that Impruvu may immediately begin sharing your information with any third party company that referred you to Impruvu so that that company may use your information for their own business purposes, including to market to you. For example, if you were referred to Impruvu by another company through a website link or telephone transfer, Impruvu may share some of your information, such as the existence and terms of your financial products, with that company. You may revoke this consent at any time by following the procedures outlined below. If you revoke consent we will not subsequently share your information with these companies except as necessary to complete the transaction you initiated.
Right to restrict information sharing with companies we own or control (affiliates)
Impruvu may share your information among affiliated companies whether or not those companies are covered by this policy. Federal law gives you the right to limit this sharing where it includes information about your creditworthiness other than your transactions and experiences with Impruvu or is used for the purpose of marketing to you. If you would like to opt-out of this type of sharing, please follow the instructions below. We may begin sharing your information related to your creditworthiness or any information to be used for marketing purposes thirty (30) days from the date that we first provided this notice if you have not opted-out.
If you wish to opt-out of such information sharing, you may contact the following email: info@impruvu.io. Please note that your opt-out choices will also apply to your co-borrower.
Rights in relation to your Personal Data
Specifically, federal law gives you the right to:
Such rights can all be exercised by contacting us at the following email: info@impruvu.io.
If you would like to exercise your right to opt-out of information sharing by a company affiliated with Impruvu but not covered by this policy, you must consult that company’s privacy policy for instructions on how to exercise your right to opt-out of their information sharing.
ADDITIONAL FACTS ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
How Impruvu Secures Your Information
Impruvu uses significant safeguards, including physical, technical (electronic), and operational controls to protect your personal information, both during transmission and once received. If you have any questions about the security of your information, you can contact us at the following email: info@impruvu.io.
Impruvu equips all servers with a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) certificate to ensure that when you connect to our websites you can tell that you are actually on our site and that all data entered into the websites are transmitted to us in a secure encrypted channel. Once on our system, personal information can only be read or written through defined service access points, the use of which is password-protected. Data security is achieved through technical safeguards that include a combination of encryption, firewalls, intrusion prevention system, malware detection system, and data loss prevention systems. Impruvu also conducts vulnerability scans of applications and systems regularly.
Access to the system is tightly controlled and limited to only those who have a need to access information. Administrative safeguards such as a security awareness program, background checks, and internal information use policy ensure that only trained and trusted staff are permitted to access personal information. Some additional features of our security program include:
Account Authentication
If you have an account, at a minimum, we require that you use a password or follow other secure steps we have instituted to allow you to access your account. If you create a password, you must use both numbers and letters in your password. We have also instituted secure steps by which you can regain access to your account should you forget your password. You should always choose a password that is difficult for others to guess and change your password frequently.
Secure Data Center
We store all sensitive financial information in state-of-the-art, highly secure data centers that are audited per AICPA SOC for Service Organizations. Physical access to the data centers is strictly controlled and we use the latest threat prevention technologies such as network and web application firewalls, VPN, antivirus, Web filtering and antispam technologies.
Additional Steps You Should Take to Ensure the Security of Your Information
Impruvu sends important communications regarding your account or application via email. You should therefore take steps to secure and restrict access to your email account and change your email account password frequently. You should also be aware of fraudulent emails known as “phishing,” from companies claiming to be Impruvu and requesting your login information or other account information. Impruvu will never ask for your login information in an email.
When you are finished using Impruvu websites, you should log out completely, then close the browser window and clear the browser’s cache files and saved passwords. This step is particularly important if you use a computer that is accessed by other people, such as in a public library or Internet café.
Changes to this policy
Any updates to the privacy policy become effective when posted on Impruvu websites. If we make any material changes, we will notify you by email or by providing the revised privacy policy in your account on www.impruvu.io if you have one. Your continued use of our services following the update means that you accept Impruvu’s updated privacy policy.
For additional information, or if you have any questions regarding this Policy or the privacy practices at Impruvu, please submit your questions or comments directly to info@impruvu.io.

Your Rights Under the CCPA
Right to Know/Right to Access. Under the CCPA, California residents have the right to request that Impruvu disclose what personal information we have collected, used, disclosed, or sold over the past twelve (12) months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request for such information, (see “How You Can Exercise Your Rights Under CCPA”), we will disclose to you:

Such financial incentives may include gift cards, credits, and other monetary offerings; additional details related to the material terms of these financial incentives will be provided to you at the time the incentive is presented to you. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time.
