U.S. Privacy Notice for Consumers
Your trust and confidence in how we collect, use, disclose, and retain information about you is a priority. This U.S. Privacy Notice for Consumers (Notice) applies to our U.S. websites, our U.S. mobile applications (Citi apps), e-mail, our branded U.S. social media sites or pages, and other U.S. online, mobile or retail services that link to or from or expressly reference this Notice as well as any interactions you may have with our digital advertising campaigns (collectively, the Sites/Services).
This Notice explains how we collect, disclose, use, and protect information when you visit or use the Sites/Services. We advise you to read the Notice in its entirety, including the jurisdiction-specific provisions in the appendix to this Notice, which will apply to users in certain jurisdictions. Additionally, please note that Section I of this Notice, which describes our collection and use of information through our Sites/Services, also serves as our Notice At Collection for California residents for purposes of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which you can view by clicking here. By using the Sites/Services, you agree to this Privacy Notice.
As you review this Notice, here are a few important things to keep in mind:
- If you have a financial product or service with us for personal, family or household use with one of our U.S. businesses, that business would also have delivered to you a U.S. Customer Privacy Notice (Customer Privacy Notice) that explains how that business collects, uses and discloses information about you, and offers you certain choices with respect to the use and sharing of your personal information.
- This Site is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly solicit information from, or market to, children under 13 years of age.
- Wireless service providers, Internet service providers, device manufacturers and/or social media platforms may have their own privacy notices that are different from this one for the information they may access through your use of the Sites. We encourage you to read their privacy notices as the collection, uses and disclosure of information by those third parties may be different than Citi.
- Our mobile, social media, or other services, sites, pages or materials may have additional terms about the privacy or use of your information. Please review the privacy notice for the specific Site/Service you are using.

first. COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We collect two types of information: Personal Information and Other Information.
Personal Information is any information:

Personal Information includes Protected Health Information (as that is defined by the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) and Sensitive Personal Information (as that is defined by applicable state laws) and Special Categories of Data (as that is defined by the E.U. General Data Protection Regulation).
Other Information is information that does not and cannot reveal an individual's specific identity, such as information that has been de-identified or aggregated. This Other Information is described in more detail in the Collection and Use of Information section below.

fourth. AGGREGATION SERVICES
Citi, like many similar companies, offers account aggregation services that allow you to consolidate your electronically enabled financial account information from different sources (such as your accounts with us or with other financial institutions) so that you can view all your account information in one online location.
When acting as an account aggregator, Citi or its aggregation service provider may request your account user credentials for third-party (non-Citi) financial accounts, including usernames and passwords, in order to access your account information as your agent.
If you provide us access, as your agent, to your third-party account information we may use such information as well as your Citi account information where applicable, to provide you offers, suggestions and insights on your spending, savings and other financial behaviors. These insights are not investment, tax or legal advice and neither Citibank not any of its affiliates are acting as a tax, legal or investment advisor in providing same. With your consent, subject to written agreement, Citigroup Personal Wealth Management or other Citigroup businesses may currently or in the future provide investment advisory or other investment services based on online access to your investment account and other financial information.
You may cancel enrollment in Citi's aggregation service or delete accounts at any time. Upon cancellation or deletion of an account, we will delete and direct our service provider to delete this data from our and their respective records as permitted under applicable law, rules and regulations.
With regard to aggregation services provided by a third-party, if you provide your user credentials or other Personal Information about your Citi accounts to a third-party aggregation services provider, we will consider that you have authorized all transactions or actions initiated by such access information you provide, whether or not you were aware of a specific transaction or action. If you decide to revoke the authority you have given to an aggregation website, we strongly recommend that you change your password for Citi Online to ensure that the aggregation website cannot continue to access your account information.

We may also use technologies to associate and recognize your various mobile and desktop devices in order to deliver ads and other content in a consistent manner across the devices you use. Information we collect using the technologies described above may also be associated or linked with Personal Information, such as email or postal address, you provided directly to us or others. Alternatively, Personal Information may also be linked with characteristics or attributes about you, such as lifestyle interests, in support of our marketing efforts. If you opt out of interest based advertising, as described in the Your Choices Regarding Your Personal Information section below, you will not receive such customized ads on the Site or in other places.
sixth. YOUR CHOICES REGARDING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
You have certain rights with regard to your Personal Information.
A. Your California Privacy Rights
If you are a California resident, you have the right to request and receive certain information about disclosure of your Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. Because it is our policy not to share your Personal Information with third parties for third-party direct marketing purposes without your consent, we are exempt from the requirement to respond to such requests. If you have any questions related to our policy, please contact us using the information provided in the Contact Us section below.
For information regarding how to exercise your rights as a consumer under the California Consumer Privacy Act, please see supplemental provisions for California residents in the Appendix to this Notice.

C. Cookies and Interest-Based Advertising
Both the Network Advertising Initiative and the Digital Advertising Alliance (to whose principles we adhere) provide information about and technologies to opt-out of receiving some or all interest based advertising. You can also opt-out of interest based advertising by clicking on the appropriate icon within an interest based ad which will take you to tools to help you manage these choices. These technologies are browser and device specific, they must be adopted on each device you use. If you block or clear cookies, these technologies may not work. You will continue to see ads on the Site which reflect how you use the Site and our Services.
If you would prefer not to receive interest-based advertising, you can opt-out of this activity at the DAA website by visiting http://www.aboutads.info/choices/(for U.S. residents) and/or the NAI website by visiting http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1.
You can choose whether to accept cookies through your browser settings (check the Help
file). For example, most browsers allow you to automatically decline cookies or decline or accept a particular cookie (or cookies) from a particular site when browsing. If you decide not to accept cookies, some features of the Site may not work properly because we may not be able to recognize your device and associate you with your Citi account(s). In addition, the offers or content we provide when you visit our site or on third-party sites may not be as relevant to you or tailored to your interests.
Local Shared Objects, sometimes referred to as flash cookies may be stored on your hard drive using a media player or other software installed on your device. Local Shared Objects are similar to cookies in terms of their operation, but may not be managed in your browser in the same way. Restricting acceptance of Local Shared objects may impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including those used in connection with the Site including animation and video presentations. For more information on managing Local Shared Objects, click here. Similarly, certain authentication features of the Citi apps may set a persistent token, similar to a cookie, on your mobile device. This token allows that device to be uniquely associated or bound with your account. This token will remain on your device until you un-enroll from those features or delete the app from your device.
D. Do Not Track
Some browsers have a Do Not Track feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. At this time, we do respond to browser do not track signals.

Keeping your account information accurate and up to date is very important. If your account information is incomplete, inaccurate or not current, please use the Contact Us option on our Site, or call or write to us at the telephone numbers or appropriate address for changes listed on your account statements, records, online or other account materials. You can also speak to a branch representative, your financial advisor or your designated account representative.

We seek to protect this information by implementing and maintaining reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural security measures and safeguards designed to protect Personal Information within our organization.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or wireless network or data storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

I. Supplemental provisions for California residents.
-
Requests. California residents have certain rights with respect to Personal Information under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). For purposes of this subsection, the terms consumer, categories of personal information, business purpose, third party, sell, and share have the meanings ascribed to them respectively in the CCPA. Terms defined under the CCPA may differ in meaning from the common usage of the same terms used elsewhere in this Notice.
-
You have the right to request, up to two times every 12 months, that Citi disclose to you the following: (i) the categories of Personal Information that Citi has collected about you; (ii) the categories of sources from which Citi has collected Personal Information about you; (iii) the business or commercial purpose for collecting , selling, or sharing your Personal Information; (iv) the categories of Third Parties to whom the Personal Information was disclosed and (v) the specific pieces of Personal Information that Citi has collected about you. Please note that Personal Information we have collected in connection with your personal account with us is not subject to the requirements of CCPA because it is already protected under existing federal and California state privacy laws, including the Graham Leach Bliley Act.
-
You have the right to request a portable copy of your Personal Information.
In response to verified requests pursuant to #1 or #2 above, we will confirm receipt of the request within 10 business days of receipt of the request, and disclose and deliver the required information to you free of charge within 45 days of receiving a verifiable consumer request. We may extend this time period to deliver information once by an additional 45 days when reasonably necessary. We will provide notice of the extension within the first 45-day period.
-
You have the right to request that Citi delete Personal Information collected from you, subject to certain exceptions allowed under applicable law.
In response to verified requests pursuant to #3 above, we will confirm receipt of the request within 10 business days of receipt of the request. Following verification of your request, we may require you to separately confirm that you want your Personal Information to be deleted. We will delete the information within 45 days of receiving a verifiable consumer request (subject to certain exceptions). We may extend this time period once by an additional 45 days when reasonably necessary. We will provide notice of the extension within the first 45-day period.
-
You have the right to request that Citi correct inaccurate Personal Information collected from you, subject to certain exceptions allowed under applicable law. We will accept, review, and consider any documentation that you provide in connection with your right to correct, provided you make a good-faith effort to provide Citi with all relevant information available at the time of the request.
In response to verified requests pursuant to #4 above, we will confirm receipt of the request within 10 business days of receipt of the request. Following verification of your request, we may require you to provide documentation if necessary to rebut our own documentation that the Personal Information is accurate. If, we determine, based on the totality of the circumstances, that the information is not accurate, we will respond to the request by correcting the information or deleting the information (if deletion of the information does not negatively impact you).We will correct within 45 days of receiving a verifiable consumer request. We may extend this time period once by an additional 45 days when reasonably necessary. We will provide notice of the extension within the first 45-day period.
-
You have the right to opt out of the sale of your Personal Information to, or the sharing of it with, Third Parties by clicking here to visit our Privacy Hub. CCPA defines sale very broadly, covering both monetary and other consideration. The same is true of the CCPA's definition of share, except that sharing under the CCPA relates only to the targeting of advertising based on Personal Information from an individual's interaction with other websites and services. Citi does not sell or share Personal Information for money. However, we share some types of Personal Information as further described in Section III of this Notice above.
-
Citi will not discriminate against you because you elect to exercise these rights, including by:
- Denying goods or services to you.
- Charging you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through the use of discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties.
- Providing a different level or quality of goods or services to you.
- Suggesting that you will receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
None of the foregoing, however, prohibits Citi from charging you a different price or rate, or from providing a different level or quality of goods or services to you, if that difference is reasonably related to the value provided to Citi by your data.

-
Submission of Requests. You may exercise these rights by managing this information through Citi's Privacy Hub at online.citi.com/dataprivacyhub or by calling us at (833) 981 0270 (TTY: 711). If you wish to submit a request to have your Personal Information deleted or corrected (see sections I.A.3 and I.A.4 in this Appendix), or to opt-out of the selling or sharing of your Personal Information , call us at (833) 981 0270 (TTY: 711). If you wish to submit any type of CCPA request through an authorized agent, please follow the process in Section I.C. below.
-
CCPA Authorized Agent. CCPA permits consumers to designate authorized agents to submit requests on their behalf. Under CCPA, an authorized agent is a natural person or a business entity in California that a consumer has authorized to act on their behalf subject to the requirements. If you would like to designate an authorized agent to submit a request to know, a request to delete, or a request to correct Personal Information on your behalf, please call us at (833) 981 0270 (TTY: 711).
You or your authorized agent may provide us with a written power of attorney, executed by you, confirming the authority of the authorized agent with respect to your CCPA request(s).
If we have not received a power of attorney, we may require your authorized agent to provide proof that you gave the agent signed permission to submit your CCPA request(s).
In addition, we may also require you to do the following directly with us:
-
Verify your own identity with us;
-
Confirm you have provided the authorized agent permission to submit the CCPA request(s).
-
-
Verification. Whether you submit a request directly on your own behalf, or through an authorized agent, we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity prior to responding to your requests under CCPA. Upon receiving a request pursuant to I.A.2, I.A.3 or I.A.4 above, we will confirm receipt within 10 days and provide you with information about how we will verify and process the request. In order to verify your request, we will require you to provide your social security number, tax ID number or passport number and issuing country, in addition to your first and last name, e-mail address and mailing address. We do not require you to verify your identity to make a request pursuant to I.A.4 and I.A.5, but we may ask you for information necessary to compete the request. For example, we may ask you for your name, but we will not require you to take a picture of yourself with your driver's license.
Once verified (see Section I.D. below), your authorized agent may create a unique account for you through Citi's Privacy Hub at online.citi.com/dataprivacyhub and manage your requests through that account.
