How We Use This Information
We do not disclose any nonpublic personal information about you or any of our former customers to anyone, except as permitted by law. These disclosures include the following:
	Within Amscot. We restrict access to nonpublic personal information about you to those of our employees who need to know such information to provide you with the products or services that you have requested. Our Information Security Program requires employees to maintain the confidentiality of your nonpublic personal information.
	Companies With Whom Amscot Has Product or Service Agreements. In order to provide you with the financial products and services you request or authorize, Amscot will provide nonpublic personal information to nonaffiliated third parties with whom Amscot has an agreement to provide such products and services. Each of the companies with whom Amscot has product or service agreements has agreed to strictly safeguard the confidentiality of your nonpublic personal information, and they are not permitted to share this information without Amscot's permission or except as otherwise required by law.
	Companies You Ask Us to Share Information With. Amscot may get permission from you to share your information. If you grant permission, it will only apply to the specific program or programs you consent to. If you have previously requested that we block the sharing of you information, that request will remain in place for all other situations.
	Outside Service Providers. We have arrangements with nonaffiliated third parties to perform services for us including, among other things, marketing Amscot's products and services to you. These firms perform their services at Amscot's direction, and we share with them customer information that is necessary to perform these services. As with all of our business partners, these companies are required to safeguard your information and are prohibited from disclosing the information or using it in any manner other than to carry out the purposes for which Amscot disclosed the information
	Consumer Reporting Agencies and Database Operators. It is standard industry practice and within federal and state law to provide data about customer repayment transactions and defaults to these agencies and other creditors. In addition, if you conduct a deferred presentment transaction with Amscot, Florida law requires that we disclose information about the proposed transaction to the operator of a state-wide database that monitors all such transactions of deferred presentment providers.
	Courts and Government Bodies. Federal and state laws may require us to share information about you. For example, if you are involved in a legal matter with a third party, we may be ordered to provide information to a court or other party. In these circumstances, only the information required by law, subpoena or court order will be provided.
