    • GLBA-Covered Data - Our GLBA Privacy Notice provides information about how you can limit your sharing options for our financial services and GLBA-covered data.

      Applicable State Laws


      Applicable state laws must be taken into consideration when marketing to customers via a third party. For example, Vermont and California state laws prohibit financial institutions from sharing customer PII unless the customer takes affirmative action authorizing the institution to do so. Therefore, customers with Vermont or California addresses must be removed from campaigns that involve information sharing with unaffiliated third parties under the Regulation P joint marketing agreement exception.

    • California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) covers California residents about whom Coba has collected personal information (PI) from and is applicable to any business that collects and stores PII of California residents, regardless of if the business is located in California. For purposes of this section the term “personal information” means 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 consumer/resident or household. Personal information does not include information that has been de-identified or that does not fall within the above definition of personal information.


      As a consumer financial services company, Coba has developed and implemented privacy and security controls to protect your personal information and comply with United States federal law, including but not limited to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act. As such, most of the personal information about you that we may collect and use is exempt from the CCPA.
      California Privacy Rights
      Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, California residents, subject to certain limitations and exceptions, have the right to:some text
      • Right to Know- The right to request the following information from us about our use of your personal information:some text
        • The specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you
        • The categories of personal information that we have collected about you
        • The categories of sources from which your personal information was collected
        • The business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling your personal information
        • The categories of third parties with whom we may share personal information
      • Right to Delete - You have the right to request the deletion of your personal information that is collected or maintained by us.
      • Right to Opt-Out of Sale - You have the right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information by us. We do not sell personal information.
      • Right to Non-Discrimination - You have the right to not receive discriminatory treatment by us for the exercise of the privacy rights described above.


        In some instances, we may not be able to honor your request. For example, we will not honor your request if we cannot verify your identity or if we cannot verify that you have the authority to make a request on behalf of another individual. Additionally, we will not honor your request where an exception applies, such as where the disclosure of personal information would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of another consumer or where the personal information that we maintain about you is not subject to your rights under the CCPA.


        We will advise you in our response if we are unable to honor your request. Additionally, if you request access to the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, we will not provide social security numbers, driver’s license numbers or government issued identification numbers, financial account numbers, account passwords or security questions and answers, or any other specific pieces of information if the disclosure presents the possibility of unauthorized access that could result in identity theft, fraud, or unreasonable risk to data, systems, and network security.


        How to Exercise Your Rights under the CCPA
        If you are a California resident, you may make a request to exercise your rights under the CCPA by either of the following methods:
      • Submitting a request via email to support@coba.ai, or
      • Calling us at +1 (737) 260-0512.

    • Children Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is a federal law that imposes specific requirements on operators of websites and online services to protect the privacy of children under 13. It is Coba’s policy NOT to (i) sell any customer or consumer PII to third parties, and (ii) collect PII from individuals under the age of 13, as defined by COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act), and under the age of 16 (per the CCPA). The Coba App is not directed to, and we do not intend to, or knowingly, collect or solicit personal information from children under the
      age of 13. If you believe that a child under age 13 may have provided us with personal information without parental consent, please contact us.
    • Vermont State Law - Coba does not share information of customers with a Vermont address with affiliated companies.
    • Privacy and Opt-Out Notice - Our customers provide private information to Coba during daily business, and we are committed to treating such information responsibly. Our customers expect privacy and security for their banking and financial affairs. To that end, we provide the Privacy and Opt-Out Notice (Notice) to all consumers at account opening, enrollment for a new service, if there are changes to our privacy practices, and annually thereafter, if required by law.
      Changes to this Privacy Policy
      We’re constantly trying to improve our Services, so we may need to change this Privacy Policy from time to time, but we will alert you to any such changes by placing a notice on the Coba website, by sending you an email and/or by some other means. Please note that if you’ve opted not to receive legal notice emails from us (or you haven’t provided us with your email address), those legal notices will still govern your use of the Services, and you are still responsible for reading and understanding them. If you use the Services after any changes to the Privacy Policy have been posted, that means you agree to all of the changes. Use of information we collect is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is collected.
      Reporting Unauthorized Disclosure of Personal Information


      The trust of our customers is Coba’s most valuable asset. When an unauthorized disclosure of PII occurs, how Coba responds and communicates to customers and regulatory agencies can be the difference between a potential compliance penalty or action lawsuit and an opportunity to reinforce our commitment to care.


      The negative impact of an information breach can create reputational risk and cause noncompliance with laws and regulations. Incidents may include any situation in which customer personal, financial or health information or records (whether in paper, electronic, or other form that is maintained by or on behalf of Coba) may potentially be lost, misdirected, or in any way accessed by unauthorized individuals or parties. Any incidents or suspected incidents involving data security and disclosure of customer information should be reported immediately to the IT Department and/or Senior Management in accordance with the Information Security Policy’s standards and associated procedures. Coba’s unaffiliated third-party service providers are instructed to report all unauthorized access to, and disclosure of, any customer information.
