What we do
HOW DOES DIME PROTECT MY PERSONAL INFORMATION?
To protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use, we use security measures that comply with federal law. These measures include computer safeguards and secured files and buildings.
HOW DOES DIME COLLECT MY PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We collect your personal information, for example, when you
- open an account or give us your contact information
- apply for a loan or show your driver’s license
- make deposits or withdrawals from your account
We also collect your personal information from others, such as credit bureaus, affiliates, or other companies.
WHY CAN'T I LIMIT ALL SHARING?
Federal law gives you the right to limit only
- sharing for affiliates’ everyday business purposes—information about your creditworthiness
- affiliates from using your information to market to you
- sharing for non-affiliates to market to you
State laws and individual companies may give you additional rights to limit sharing.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I LIMIT SHARING FOR A JOINTLY HELD ACCOUNT?
Your choices will apply to everyone on your account—unless you tell us otherwise.
