Cancel Continue Effective: September 25, 2024 (Last Reviewed: 09/25/2024) This California Consumer Privacy Act Notice at Collection ("Notice") is provided by the Wells Fargo companies described below. These companies are referred to in this Notice as "we" or "us." This Notice explains how we collect, use, retain, and disclose personal information about California residents. The Notice also explains certain rights that California residents have under the California Consumer Privacy Act (the “CCPA”). The CCPA only applies to information about residents of California. If you are a resident of a U.S. state other than California, you may submit a request and we may process it, as described in this Notice, even though the CCPA does not require us to do so. In accepting, processing, and responding to requests by individuals who are not California residents, we will apply all the same limitations and exceptions under the CCPA to those requests as apply to requests made by California residents. We reserve the right to change or stop the practice of accepting requests from U.S. residents of states other than California, except as otherwise required by law. Under the CCPA, "personal information" is information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular California resident or household. This information is referred to in this Notice as "Personal Data." CATEGORIES OF PERSONAL DATA THAT WE COLLECT We collect Personal Data in a variety of contexts.

Furthermore, we have no actual knowledge that we sell or share (for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising) Personal Data, including Sensitive Personal Information, of minors under 16 years of age.

Contacting us at 1-844-774-9229; or 2. Submitting your request at www.wellsfargo.com/privacycenter/. Wells Fargo Online® customers and Wells Fargo employees: you can make a request by using your existing Wells Fargo log-in credentials. For all other individuals, we will ask you to provide the following information to identify yourself: * Name, contact information, Social Security or individual taxpayer identification number, and date of birth; and * A copy of a government-issued photo ID. We accept your driver’s license, state ID, or matricula card. When you make a Request to Know, Delete, or Correct, we will attempt to verify that you are who you say you are. For example, we will attempt to match information that you provide in making your Request with other sources of similar information to reasonably verify identity. To make a Request to Opt-Out of Sharing, click here . We also process opt-out preference signals, such as the Global Privacy Control, as required by the CCPA. These signals set the opt out of sharing preferences for the specific browser or device you are using. For information about how to use the Global Privacy Control, please visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org/Opens Dialog . RESPONDING TO REQUESTS Privacy and data protection laws, other than the CCPA, apply to much of the Personal Data that we handle. When these other laws apply, Personal Data may be exempt from, or outside the scope of, a request to Know, Delete, or Correct. For example, information subject to certain federal privacy laws, such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability, is exempt from CCPA Requests. As a result, we may decline all or part of your Request to the extent that it relates to exempt Personal Data. This means that we may not provide, delete, correct, or opt-out some, or all, of this Personal Data when you make a CCPA Request. As examples, our processing of, or response to, a CCPA Request may not include some or all of the following Personal Data: * Consumer Accounts. Personal Data related to consumer accounts used for personal, family, or household purposes and applications for such accounts. We have other privacy notices providing certain information on use and sharing of this data, for example, the Wells Fargo U.S. Consumer Privacy Notice, available at www.wellsfargo.com/privacy-security. The types of Personal Data described above are examples. We have not listed all types of Personal Data that may not be included when we respond to or process CCPA Requests. In addition to the above examples, we may not include Personal Data when we respond to or process CCPA Requests when the CCPA recognizes another exception. For example, we will not provide the Personal Data about another individual when doing so would adversely affect the data privacy rights of that individual. As another example, we will not delete Personal Data when it is necessary to maintain that Personal Data to comply with a legal obligation. We will verify and respond to your request consistent with applicable law, taking into account the type and sensitivity of the Personal Data subject to the request.
