SOURCES OF PERSONAL DATA
We collect personal data from the following sources:
Directly from you. We collect personal data through our interactions with you,
such as when you contact customer support or interact with our social media
accounts. We also collect personal data from you through our products, such as
when you register to create an account. Some of this information is collected
about your interactions, use, and experience with our products and
communications.
Devices and browsers. We collect personal data through browsers and devices that
interact with our websites, online services, and mobile applications.
Employers. Companies provide us with personal data about their employees,
including prospective and former employees. We usually receive this information
as part of providing services to our Workforce Solutions customers. Employment
and compensation information is sometimes provided by your employer's payroll
provider on your employer's behalf. Please read the Equifax Workforce Solutions
section for more information. We also receive this information when employers
provide or purchase our products as a benefit to their employees.
Financial institutions. We collect personal data from companies that offer
financial products or services to consumers, like loans, financial or investment
advice, or insurance. This includes banks, mortgage lenders, loan brokers, some
financial or investment advisors, insurance companies, and debt collectors.
Consumer credit customers. We collect personal data from businesses you permit
to access your consumer credit report information in connection with a
transaction between you and the business. For example, this includes retail
businesses that offer branded credit cards, car dealerships that arrange or
facilitate financing for your car purchase or lease, property managers that
evaluate your lease application, utility and telecommunications providers, and
third-party businesses that offer you access to the information in your Equifax
consumer credit report as part of a product or service.
Third-party data providers. We purchase personal data from third-party companies
that collect and aggregate personal data. Data resellers collect personal data
from a variety of sources, including directly from consumers, through devices
and browsers, public records, news sources, and from other businesses and data
brokers.
Business customers. Our business customers provide us with personal data when we
provide them with our products and services. For example, a business customer
may provide us with its customer list so that Equifax can help manage its
accounts through our identity resolution services, or provide information to
supplement the customer list for marketing purposes. In most instances, Equifax
is limited in using the personal data provided by the business customer to
provide the product or service requested by the business customer.
Government agencies and contractors. Federal, state, and local government
agencies and contractors provide us with personal data. We receive personal data
from government agencies in our role as a service provider for government
agencies, when providing compliance solutions for our Workforce Solutions
customers, in our affiliates' role as a consumer reporting agency, and when we
receive information used for compliance purposes such as government-maintained
sanctions lists.

made available by federal, state, and local governments. This includes
information on real property ownership and sales history, tax assessments,
secretary of state filings, court findings, and federally provided sanctions

SHARING PERSONAL DATA
We sometimes share personal data with third parties to carry out the above
business purposes, including our affiliates and service providers. We may also
share your personal data with third parties to whom you consent to us disclosing
your personal data. Prior to sharing personal data with these third parties, we

purpose except performing the services.
We do not share personal data collected through mobile phones for authentication
purposes with third-party affiliates for marketing purposes.
We also share personal data for the following reasons:
Disclosure for legal reasons or as necessary to protect Equifax, its affiliates
and others. We may release personal data to third parties: (1) to comply with
valid legal requirements such as a law, regulation, search warrant, subpoena,
court order, or other legal process; (2) in special cases, such as a physical
threat to you or others, a threat to homeland security, a threat to our system
or network; or (3) cases in which we believe it is reasonably necessary to
investigate or prevent harm, fraud, abuse, or illegal conduct.
Changes in our corporate structure. If all or part of our company is sold or
merged, if we make a sale or transfer of assets, or in the unlikely event of a
bankruptcy, we may transfer your information, including your personal data, to
one or more third parties as part of that transaction.
COMMERCIAL PURPOSES
We use and sell personal data to nonaffiliated third parties for the following
commercial purposes:
Consumer credit reporting. Some of our affiliates collect, use, and sell
personal data when acting as a consumer reporting agency, as this activity is
regulated by the FCRA. Acting as a consumer reporting agency, these affiliates
collect personal data about your creditworthiness, credit standing, credit
capacity and mode of living from a variety of data furnishers, share this
information with credit providers and other entities when they make decisions to
extend credit or enter into transactions with you, assist lenders and other
creditors with their portfolio management, and use and/or disclose personal data
for other permissible purposes under the FCRA, including, but not limited to,
insurance underwriting, government benefits, and employment verification, and
other uses at the consent of the consumer.
Commercial credit reporting. We collect, use, and sell personal data as part of
our commercial credit reporting services. These services permit our customers to
make informed decisions regarding providing credit to or investing in
businesses. Commercial credit reports may contain the names and other personal

enable our customers to provide services and benefits to their employees, and to
help manage their workforce in compliance with laws and regulations. Please read
the Equifax Workforce Solutions section for more information.
Marketing services. We collect, use, and sell personal data as part of our
consumer and commercial marketing services. This includes providing customers
with personal data of potential customers to inform their marketing efforts, or
permitting our customers to enhance their existing marketing lists for accuracy
and effectiveness.
Fraud detection and identity management. We collect, use, and sell personal data
as a part of our fraud detection, identity verification, and identity resolution
services. These services help us and our customers prevent security incidents,
protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, and
prosecute those responsible for that activity, as well as more accurately manage
the account information of their customers.
Regulatory compliance. We collect, use, and sell personal data as part of our
regulatory compliance products, which help customers comply with federal, state
and local laws and regulations.
Debt recovery. We collect, use, and sell personal data as part of our debt
recovery products. These products help our customers locate consumers for the
purposes of collecting debts owed by the consumer.

EQUIFAX WORKFORCE SOLUTIONS
Through its Equifax Workforce Solutions ("EWS") products, an affiliate of
Equifax collects employee personal data from employers and their employees.
EWS's employment verification products use employer-provided information to
offer income and employment verification services, which automates the process
of employers responding to employment and income verification requests from
third parties such as lenders and banks. The collection, use, and sharing of
personal data for this purpose is regulated by the FCRA.
EWS also offers products which allow employers to outsource and automate the
performance of certain payroll-related and human resource management business
processes, including unemployment claims management, tax credits and incentives,
I-9 and W-2 form management services and services which assist with Affordable
Care Act compliance. Employers and employees provide employee personal data to
Equifax through these EWS products.
As part of providing EWS services, Equifax and its affiliates agree to only use
personal data collected through EWS products for the purpose of providing the
EWS services, and not for other purposes such as marketing. This applies to
employee personal data provided to Equifax by an employer and personal data
provided to Equifax by an employee through interacting with an EWS product.
In some instances, when permitted by its clients, EWS uses deidentified employee
data to perform analytics, modeling and/or demographic studies. This
deidentified employee data does not include any information that individually,
or collectively, could be used to identify either the employer or individual
employees.

COOKIES, WEB BEACONS AND OTHER TECHNOLOGY
COOKIES
We use session and persistent cookie technology. Cookies are text files saved by
a device's browser that stores information. That information is available to us
later when the browser returns to one of our websites.
WEB BEACONS
Web beacons are small pieces of code placed on webpages, videos, and in emails.
They tell us when a person views a web page, opens a video or reads their email.
OTHER LOCAL STORAGE
We use other kinds of local device storage in connection with the use of our
services. These technologies are similar to cookies in that they are stored on

We use code on our websites to estimate financial and other attributes of our
visitors. This is done by correlating the IP address of the visitor with a
geographic location. We then correlate that with general financial and economic
information about people in that location.
THIRD-PARTY COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGY
Our partners use cookies, web beacons, and other technologies for similar
purposes. We have agreements with companies, sometimes called "Ad Networks,"
that serve advertising on behalf of other companies. These Ad Networks may place
or recognize a cookie, called a "third party cookie," on a visitor's computer
when they visit a website not affiliated with us that has a contract with them.
Ad Networks use cookies to understand web usage patterns of people who see
advertisements, to control the sequence of advertisements they see, to provide
them with the most relevant advertising, and to make sure they don't see the
same ad too many times. Ad Networks may connect information about pages visited
on our site with information about pages visited on other sites. They show
advertising based on this combined information, including advertising for our
products.
While we do not control Ad Networks or what they do with the information they
collect, we only work with companies that have agreed to participate in the
Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA),
and/or the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB), and abide by the associated
principles.
ANALYTICS SERVICES
Our websites, products, and online advertisements often contain web beacons or
similar technologies from third-party analytics providers, which help us compile
aggregated statistics about the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns or
other operations. These analytics providers are able to set or read their own
cookies on your device through which they can collect information about your
online activities across applications, websites, and other products. To learn
more about controlling information provided to these analytics provides, click

CHOICES AND CONTROL OVER YOUR INFORMATION
In general, choices concerning our collection, use and disclosure of information
are limited to those provided by law. For details of choices under the Federal
Fair Credit Reporting Act, please see our FCRA Summary of Rights web page.
Beyond those choices, individuals may elect to not provide information directly
to us. However, in many cases this will limit our ability to provide services.
OPTING OUT OF PROMOTIONAL OR MARKETING EMAIL
If you do not wish to receive promotional or marketing offers by email, you may
opt out of receiving further promotional offers and emails by clicking on the
"unsubscribe" button in the email. In addition, some Equifax products allow you
to manage your communications preferences by logging into your account and
managing your account profile. For example, you can manage this preference by
logging into my.equifax.com and clicking on "My Account." Note, however, if you
are an Equifax customer, you will continue to receive emails from us related to
the operation and administration of your account.
OPT OUT OF THE SHARING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA
You can limit the sharing of your personal data among our affiliates to market
to you, the sharing of your personal data with non-affiliates to market to you
(other than sharing as part of a joint marketing agreement), and the sharing of
personal data regarding your creditworthiness among Equifax affiliates for
everyday business purposes. To limit the sharing of your personal data, take any
of the below actions:
* Visit us online: https://www.equifax.com/personal/credit-report-services/.

ONLINE BEHAVIORAL ADVERTISING
You can opt out of receiving ads based on your online behavior either by
visiting the DAA opt-out page at http://www.aboutads.info/choices/, the Network
Advertising Initiative opt-out page http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1,
or by clicking on the Ad-Choices icon in or near the ad. If you elect to opt out
of online behavioral advertising (OBA), you will still see ads, but they may not
be as relevant to you. Please keep in mind that opting out is cookie-based and
will only affect the specific computer and browser on which the opt out cookie
is applied. If you delete your browser cookies or if you use a different
computer or different browser and want to continue to be opted out of
interest-based advertising, you will need to opt out again. For more
information, please read our Online Behavioral Advertising Notice.
You can learn more about online advertising, including OBA or interest-based
advertising, on the DAA website at www.aboutads.info/consumers and on the
Network Advertising Initiative web site at www.networkadvertising.org/.
