Sharing table lists reasons and whether sharing can be limited

The table is introduced as listing three things: the reasons financial companies can share customers’ personal information, the reasons Stride Bank, N.A. chooses to share, and whether the consumer can limit that sharing. Its columns are the reason, whether the bank shares, and whether the consumer can limit. In the supplied text the share-column heading is split: “Does Stride Bank, N.A.” appears before “Can you limit this sharing?” and “Share?” appears after the first data row. The row values remain readable as reason/share/limit, but the extraction does not preserve the original header layout.

Details
What it covers
sharing reasons, the bank’s choice to share, and limitability

Supporting quotations

In the section below, we list the reasons financial companies can share their customers’ personal information; the reasons Stride Bank, N.A. chooses to share; and whether you can limit this sharing.
Reasons we can share your personal information
Does Stride Bank, N.A.
Can you limit this sharing?
Share?

Qualifications & exceptions

  • The table separates reasons financial companies generally may share from the reasons this bank says it chooses to share.
  • The share-column heading is split across the text “Does Stride Bank, N.A.” and “Share?”.

Not stated here

  • The supplied extraction does not preserve the original table layout, so the exact placement of “Share?” is inferred from the row values rather than from a retained table structure.
  • The notice does not explain why some limit answers say “No” and others say “We don’t share.”

Bank shares for everyday business and its own marketing; no limit

Stride Bank says it shares personal information for its everyday business purposes and for its own marketing to offer its products and services. The everyday-business examples are processing transactions, maintaining accounts, responding to court orders and legal investigations, and reporting to credit bureaus. For both rows the notice answers “Yes” to sharing and “No” to whether the consumer can limit it. The examples are introduced by “such as” and are not a complete list of everyday business purposes.

No joint marketing of bank products

Joint marketing is defined as a formal agreement between nonaffiliated financial companies that together market financial products or services to the consumer. The bank says it does not jointly market bank products with other financial companies, and the table answers “No” to sharing for joint marketing. The no-joint-marketing statement is limited to bank products even though the definition covers financial products or services more broadly.

No affiliate sharing for affiliate business or marketing

The notice says Stride Bank does not share with affiliates for the affiliates’ everyday business purposes, whether the information is transaction and experience data or creditworthiness data, and does not share for affiliates to market to the consumer. Affiliates are defined as companies related by common ownership or control, financial or nonfinancial. The bank adds that it has no affiliates with which it shares personal information. For these rows the limit column says “We don’t share,” so the limit question does not arise.

No nonaffiliate marketing; other nonaffiliate sharing is not excluded

The notice says Stride Bank does not share personal information with nonaffiliates so that they can market to the consumer. Nonaffiliates are defined as companies not related by common ownership or control, financial or nonfinancial. The commitment is limited to marketing: the notice does not say the bank never shares with nonaffiliates for other purposes, and the everyday-business row separately lists reporting to credit bureaus as an example without characterizing the recipient.

Stride Bank, N.A. does not share with non-affiliates so they can market to you.

Qualifications & exceptions

  • The statement is about nonaffiliate marketing, not all nonaffiliate sharing.
  • Nonaffiliates may be financial or nonfinancial companies.

Not stated here

  • The notice does not list nonaffiliates that receive information for everyday business purposes or state whether any such sharing occurs.
  • The notice does not state whether nonaffiliates are service providers or independent recipients.
