Nonpublic Personal Information. Nonpublic personal information is defined as any personally identifiable financial information provided by the consumer to obtain a financial product; or resulting from transactions with that product; or information a financial institution obtains about the consumer in connection with that product (e.g., credit bureau information). For example: Social Security number; driver’s license numbers (in some states); place of employment or work telephone number; non-listed home phone; where the consumer banks; details about the particular account. Other examples of nonpublic personal information include: account balances; payment histories; transaction history; or any information that discloses that this individual has a financial relationship with the institution.
Public Personal Information. Public personal information (or information which a financial institution reasonably believes is publicly available) can be disseminated without restriction under the Act and regulations; this type of information includes:
Motor vehicle ownership, drivers’ license information (in some states) and real estate ownership data, which have been, derived from public records; addresses and phone numbers from paper or electronic. Information obtained from any website which can be accessed by anyone without restriction (paying a fee for this information is not a restriction). Presumably, and the regulations do not mention it, information about a debtor that is publicly available in court records (e.g., banks successfully garnished for a debtor; employers successfully garnished for a debtor; existence of a debtor’s Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 filings) are examples of “public personal information” not subject to this regulatory regime.
However, we cannot disclose data about the debt or financial relationship to third parties unless that transaction is a matter of public record (for example, real estate mortgages).
These “public” data can be exchanged with third parties without privacy notices because the data is not “nonpublic personal information.” HOWEVER, as a “debt collector” under the FDCPA, there are other restrictions on disclosure of any data about a debtor and his/her debt that are NOT supplanted or superseded by the privacy regulations. Familiarize yourself with the FDCPA and consult legal counsel before you transfer information about a debtor and his/her debt to a third party.
We may have collected the following categories of personal information from individuals within the last 12 months. Inclusion of a category indicates that we may collect some information in that category. It does not mean that we collect all information listed in that category in all situations.

- The right to access personal information – You have the right to submit a verifiable request for access to your personal information that we collected about you, subject to certain exceptions. This may include the categories and specific pieces of information collected, the sources of that information and the business or commercial purpose for the collection or disclosure of that information.
- The right to request correction of personal data we hold about you -This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
- The right to request deletion of personal information. You have the right to request that we delete your personal information, however, state and federal law may prohibit us from deleting personal information, which JNR will disclose to you. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law.
- The right to object to processing of your personal data – Where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms, you have the right to object to processing of such data. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
- The right to request restriction of processing of your personal data - This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data's accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
- The right to request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party - We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
- The right to withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data – however, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
- Rights related to automated decision making and profiling - 'Automated Decision Making' refers to credit decisions regarding consumer lending terms or conditions predicated solely on the creditor’s automated processing of personal data. This means credit decisions may be made by a creditor, for example, using software code or an algorithm which does not require human intervention. We do not extend credit or make credit decisions for any person, and we do not use your personal data as part of any such automated decision making or profiling when servicing your account.
- The right to non-discrimination - We will not discriminate against you if you exercise any of these rights.
- The right to an authorized agent – You can designate an authorized agent to make any of these requests by providing your express written authorization. We must be able to verify your identity and the authorization must include the authorized agent’s name, address, telephone number, and email address (for providing the personal information collected or to respond to a request for deletion).

If you choose to contact directly by email/phone/in writing, you will need to provide us with:
- Enough information to identify you [e.g., your full name, address and customer or matter reference number];
- Proof of your identity and address (e.g., a copy of your driving license or passport and a recent utility or credit card bill); and
- Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate and respond to it.
We are not obligated to make a data access or data portability disclosure if we cannot verify that the person making the request is the person about whom we collected information or is someone authorized to act on such person’s behalf. To prevent anyone other than you, or your authorized agent, from exercising the right to know or the right to delete with respect to your personal information, we follow procedures to verify your, or your agent’s, identity. These procedures seek to confirm that the person making a request is the person about whom we have collected personal information or that person’s authorized agent. The verification procedures involve matching data points that you provide with your request against information about you we already have in our records and that we have determined to be reliable for purposes of verifying your identity. We will use information you provide in your completed request form to verify your identity, and we may request additional information if necessary to complete the verification process. You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
If you would like to appeal of our decision with respect to your exercise of the above rights, an appeal may be sent to the data controller using the same process for submitting initial requests. A response to an appeal may take up to 60 days, at which time JNR shall respond to your request.
JNR may change this Privacy Notice at any time. Notice of any new or revised Privacy Notice, as well as the location of the new or revised statement, will be posted on the website after the change. It is the obligation of users visiting the website before the change to learn of changes to the Privacy Notice since their last visit.
If there are material changes to the privacy statement or in how we will use your personal data, we will notify you by prominently posting a notice of such changes before they take effect or by directly sending you a notification.
