We invite you to access and use our mobile application and mobile site (collectively, the “App”), which is accessible through tablets, smart phones, connected televisions, and other devices. This privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) describes how we process the information we collect from or about you when you visit or use the App or the Service available through the App (collectively, the App and the Service are referred to as the “Service”).  By accepting this Privacy Policy, accessing or using the Service, or otherwise manifesting your assent to this Privacy Policy, you agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to (or cannot comply with) all of the terms of this Privacy Policy, then please do not use the Service.  Capitalized terms not defined in this Privacy Policy shall have the meaning set forth in our Terms of Use. 


THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE USE IT


In the course of providing the Service, Able collects or receives the following types of information from visitors and users of the Service, and from third-party integration partners, which may include personal information. 

‍

We collect contact information through the Service; contact information typically includes your name, email address, phone number and any other information you provide in messages to us. We use such contact information for purposes such as providing you with information about the Service, responding to your inquiries, sending you email alerts (including marketing emails), verifying your identity, maintaining our waitlist of users seeking to open an Able Account, or providing you the Service. 


Referrals


Users on our waitlist may choose to refer a friend to our Service by sending an invite (provided by Able) via text. If your friend accepts by entering the required code, then you will be removed from the waitlist, and you and your friend will be invited to apply for an Able Account.

We process this information to open your Able Account including verifying your identity. After completing identity verification, we delete your Social Security Number and retain only the last 4 digits. We also use this information to manage your Able Account including your transactions. We refer to users that open an Able Account as “Account Owners.”

When you make, or attempt to make, a transaction as an Account Owner through our App, we may collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, mailing address, email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as “Transaction Information.” We use the Transaction Information that we collect generally to facilitate transactions through our App (including providing you with transaction confirmations).
