Last Updated: June 7, 2022

This Privacy Policy describes how Allio Finance (“Allio” “we,” or “us”) collects, uses, and discloses information about you. This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect when you access or use our websites, mobile applications, and other online products and services that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, our “Services”). We may provide different or additional notices of our privacy practices with respect to certain products or services, in which case this Privacy Policy will not apply. 

If you have applied for an account, please also review our GLBA Consumer Privacy Notice.

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of this policy. We may also provide you with additional notice (such as by adding a statement to the Services or sending you a notification), such as in connection with making material changes to this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy regularly to stay informed about our information practices and the choices available to you.

Please note, however, that we store only a tokenized version of such information and do not maintain payment card information on our servers.
