At Bright Spectrum Trust, we recognize
that our customers and other visitors are concerned about privacy. We want you
to be confident that we make every effort to safeguard the security and confidentiality
of your nonpublic personal information.
Financial
Companies Choose How They Share Your Personal Information. Federal law gives consumers the right
to limit some but not all information sharing.
Federal law also requires us to tell you how we collect, share, and
protect your personal information.
Please read this notice carefully to understand what we do. This Privacy Notice is being provided on
behalf of Bright Spectrum Trust. It describes the general policy of Bright
Spectrum Trust regarding the personal information of customers and former
customers.

receives from your account file at the time Bright Spectrum Trust purchases or

discussion with you, or that Bright Spectrum Trust may obtain through your
transactions with Bright Spectrum Trust, such as your income and payment
history; (9) information that Bright
Spectrum Trust receives from consumer reporting agencies, such as your
creditworthiness and credit history, and (10) information that Bright Spectrum
Trust obtains from other third-party information providers, such as public
records and databases that contain publicly available data about you, such as
bankruptcy and mortgage filings. All of the personal information that Bright Spectrum Trust collects
is referred to in this notice as “collected information.” When you are no longer our customer, we
continue to share your information as described in this notice.
How
Information Is Collected. All financial companies need to share
customers’ personal information to run their everyday business. In the section below, we list the reasons
financial companies can share their customers’ personal information; the
reasons Bright Spectrum Trust chooses to share; and whether you can limit this
sharing. We collect your personal information, for example, when you: make a
payment, make a wire transfer, give us your contact information; pay us by
check; pay your account by wire transfer; and, provide
employment information. We also collect
your personal information from others, such as consumer reporting agencies
(credit bureaus).
Confidentiality and Security of
Collected Information. Bright
Spectrum Trust restricts access to collected information about you to
individuals who need to know such collected information in
order to perform services in connection with your account. To protect your personal information from
unauthorized access and use, we use security measures that comply with federal
law. Bright Spectrum Trust maintains
physical safeguards (like restricted access), electronic safeguards (like
encryption and password protection), and procedural safeguards (such as
authentication procedures) to protect collected information about you. These measures include computer safeguards
and secured files and buildings. We also
restrict access to trained and supervised employees and third parties who agree
to follow our policies and procedures.
Sharing Collected
Information with Affiliates and Third Parties
Sharing
with Affiliates. From time to time, Bright Spectrum Trust may
share collected information about customers and former customers with the
following affiliated financial services companies in connection with
administering and collecting accounts:
National Founders LP
Credigy Solutions Inc.

Sharing
with Third Parties. Bright Spectrum Trust does not share
collected information about customers or former customers with third parties,
except as permitted by applicable privacy law.
For example, collected information may be shared in certain
circumstances (A) with third parties, to service or enforce accounts, (B) with
consumer reporting agencies (credit bureaus), and (C) with law enforcement
officials, to protect against fraud or other crimes.
Why
Can’t I Limit All Sharing? Federal law gives you the right to limit
only: sharing for affiliates’ everyday business purposes – information about
your credit worthiness; affiliates from using your information to market to
you; and, sharing for non-affiliates to market to you. Bright Spectrum Trust does not share your
personal information in ways that would allow you to limit such sharing.
