Notice to Maine, Rhode Island and Tennessee Residents.  If you are required to obtain insurance of any kind as a condition of your loan, you may buy this insurance from anyone you choose.  You do not have to buy it from someone affiliated with us.  Your choice of insurance will not affect the credit approval process unless the insurance does not satisfy the requirements of your loan documents or the insurance company does not satisfy our reasonable standards for an insurance provider.

Notice to New York Residents.  In connection with your credit application, we may request a consumer report on you.  If you request, we will inform you whether or not a consumer report was requested and, if it was, of the name and address of the consumer reporting agency that furnished the report.  Additional consumer reports may be ordered without further notice to you in connection with any update renewal or extension of credit granted.

Online Privacy and Security Policy

(Including Disclosures to California Residents under the California Consumer Privacy Act)

Last Updated Effective  June 26,2020

This “Online Privacy and Security Policy” governs the online and any mobile versions of websites and mobile applications operated directly or indirectly by Toyota Financial Savings Bank, Toyota Financial Consumer Solutions, Lexus Financial Savings Bank and Lexus Financial Consumer Solutions (the “Policy”).  A website or mobile application is operated “indirectly” by us when it is created, managed and or operated on our behalf  by another company we hire to create, manage and or operate the Site for us, (each such company is a “Site Service Provider”) 
 
We respect your privacy and take actions to safeguard the information you provide to us, including information provided during your online sessions with us. This Online Privacy and Security Policy describes our policy regarding information received or collected about you during visits to our websites and mobile applications (individually each a "Site" and collectively, the “Sites”) and your other privacy rights with us. By using a Site or any of our products or services including applications for deposit or credit accounts with us (each a “Service” and collectively, "Services") that are available on a Site, you signify your acceptance of this Policy. We also maintain a separate overall customer privacy policy that applies to you if you are our customer and your account relationship with us is for personal, family or household purposes (our “Customer Privacy Policy”). We provide the Customer Privacy Policy at time of origination of your account relationship with us and as otherwise required in accordance with applicable law.

In this Policy, "we," "us" and "our" mean Toyota Financial Savings Bank, Toyota Financial Consumer Solutions, Lexus Financial Savings Bank, Lexus Financial Consumer Solutions and our service providers including our Site Service Providers.  In this Policy, "you" and "your" mean the user of a Site and or the Services.  If you are our customer, you have one or more deposit or credit accounts with us (each an “Account,” and collectively, “Accounts”). If you have registered or are registering for Services on a Site and or applying online for an Account, those Services are “Online Account Services.” An “affiliate” is a company related to us by common ownership or control. 
 
The information we may collect from or about you may differ depending on the Site you are on or the Services you are using or receiving.  However, all of our Sites are addressed in this Policy.  
 

1. Internet Activity or General Browsing. 
   You can visit a Site to read product and company information and use some of our online tools without telling us who you are or submitting personally identifiable information.   When you do, we may collect and store information about you on a de-identified  basis  relating to internet activity or other electronic network activity such as the information about the time and length of your visit, the pages you visit and the date and time of those visits (“Usage Information”). If you log on to a Site or apply online for a deposit or credit account with us, we may associate Usage Information with your personal identity and when that occurs, the Usage Information we collect and store about you, including through Tracking Technologies, will no longer be de-identified.  
    
   We may use various methods and technologies to collect and or store Usage Information (“Tracking Technologies”).  Whenever you visit a Site, these Tracking Technologies may set, change, alter or modify settings or configurations on your personal computer, laptop, tablet, mobile phone or other device (each a “Device”) used to access a Site. Some of the Tracking Technologies used on some or all of our Sites include, without limitation, the following: 
    
   (A) Cookies.  A cookie is a file placed on a Device to uniquely identify your browser or to store information on your Device.  The use of cookies is an industry standard and you will find them used by most Sites.  Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies.  You may set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being placed.  However, if you set your Device to refuse cookies, some parts of a Site may not work properly for you. 
    
   We may also use cookies to trigger certain online surveys which could be hosted by a service provider hired by us including a Site Service Provider. These surveys are optional and may but typically do not require you to provide personally identifiable information.  We use your survey responses to improve the Services and user experience on the Sites or the online platforms used to host or deliver the Sites (the “Platforms”).  
    
   (B) Clear GIFSs.  Clear GIFS are tiny graphics with a unique identifier (which may be invisible to you), similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Site users.  In contrast to cookies which are stored on a user’s Device hard drive, clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on-Site pages (or other online communications) and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence.  These clear gifs help us better manage content on a Site by informing us what content is effective. 
    
   (C) Embedded Scripts.  An embedded script is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with a Site such as the links you click on. 
    
   (D) ETag or Entity Tag.  An ETag or entity tag is a feature of the cache in browsers.  It is an identifier assigned by a web servicer to a specific version of a resource found at a URL. 
    
   (E) Browser Fingerprinting.  Browser fingerprinting is collection and analysis of information from your Device, such as, without limitation, your operating system, plug-ins, system fonts and other data, for purposes of identification. 
    
   (F) Recognition Technologies.  Recognition technologies including application of statistical probability to data sets, are technologies which attempt to recognize or make assumptions about users and devices (for example, that a user of multiple devices is the same user). 
   
   

2. Log Files.   
   We automatically gather certain information and store it in log files.  This information may include IP address, browser type and clickstream data.  We use this information to analyze trends, to administer a Site, track a user’s movements around the Site and to improve Site usability. 
   
   

3. Do Not Track. 
   Some internet browsers offer a “do not track” or similar feature.  When enabled, your browser sends a signal to the sites you visit directing the sites not to track your activity.  There is no common understanding of how to respond to these signals.  Therefore, currently, our Sites do not respond to these signals. If you do not wish to be tracked, disabling or deleting cookies may limit some forms of tracking. However, as stated elsewhere in this Policy, disabling or deleting cookies may affect your user experience on our Sites including preventing the use of certain features or functions and we may continue to track your activities while on a Site. 
   
   

4. Mobile Device and Network Access.   
   If you use one of our mobile applications, some of our application features require us to access your Device or Device Network (for example, an Online Account Service may require use of your Device camera and where that is the case, we must access your camera for the Online Account Service to work).  The same is true if you authorize fingerprint or facial recognition or use of other biometric information for authentication. Any biometric information used for authentication will be stored only on your Device.  We will not collect or store this biometric information within our systems. 
   
   

5. Collection and Disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information. 
   We may request personally identifiable information from you to provide a Service or correspondence such as promotions and mailed brochures or to otherwise improve or enhance our Services, the Sites and the Platforms as further described below. If you are our customer, the information may be shared as permissible by law, our Customer Privacy Policy and this Policy.

(e) Identification, Authentication, and Verification.  We may collect information from and about you to verify your identity, authenticate your identity when you register or log in to a Site or when you call us and to verify the accuracy and completeness of information we receive from you or information we use to make decisions about you.

We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards regarding your nonpublic personally identifiable information that comply with applicable federal  and state standards. 
    
   If you choose to complete and submit an online application for a deposit or credit account  on a Site, or to access your Online Account Services on a Site, your personally identifiable information will be protected during transmission by an encryption process.  
    
   Unencrypted email to us should only be used for inquiries and questions that are not sensitive or confidential because regular unencrypted Internet email is not secure.

YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS. This section applies only to California residents about whom we have collected personal information from any source, including through your use of the Sites, by obtaining our products and services or by communicating with us electronically, in paper correspondence or in person.

    To the extent your personal information is not subject to the CCPA: our decision to provide you the information in this Section is  done solely on a voluntary basis and in no way suggests we are doing so because we are required to do so under the CCPA or any other legal obligation; and  we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to determine the amount and type of information we disclose to you in the future or how to respond to privacy requests that you may submit to us. 
     
    For purposes of this Section, “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.

If you notice any content, feature or functionality of the Site that you believe is not fully accessible to people with disabilities, please contact us at 1-800-264-0556 and provide a description of the specific feature you feel is not fully accessible or a suggestion for improvement.

Protect your computer. Install software that protects against malware, or malicious software, which can access a computer system without your consent to steal passwords or account numbers. Also, use a firewall program to prevent unauthorized access to your computer. While protecting options vary, make sure the settings allow for automatic updates.

Use the strongest method available to log into financial accounts. Use the strongest authentication offered, especially for high-risk transactions. Use passwords that are difficult to guess and keep them secret. Create  “strong”  user  IDs and passwords for your computers, mobile devices, and online accounts by using combinations of upper- and lower-case  letters, numbers, and symbols  that  are hard to guess and then  change  them  regularly. Although using the same password or PIN for several accounts can be tempting, doing so means a criminal who obtains one password or PIN can log in to other  accounts.

Understand Internet safety features. You can have greater confidence that a website is authentic and that it encrypts (scrambles) your information during transmission if the web address starts with “https://.” Also, ensure that you are logged out of financial accounts when you complete your transactions or walk away from the computer.

Be suspicious of unsolicited e-mails asking you to click on a link, download an attachment, or provide account information. It’s easy for cyber criminals to copy the logo of a reputable company or organization into a phishing email. When responding to a simple request, you may be installing malware.  Your safest strategy is to ignore unsolicited requests, no matter how legitimate or enticing they appear.

Be careful where and how you connect to the Internet. Only access the Internet for banking or for other activities that involve personal information using your own laptop or mobile device through a known, trusted, and secure connection. A public computer, such as at a hotel business center or public library, and free Wi-Fi networks are not necessarily secure. It can be relatively easy for cyber criminals to intercept the Internet traffic in these locations.

Be careful when using social networking sites. Cyber criminals  use  social  networking sites to gather  details about individuals, such  as their place  or date  of birth, a pet’s name, their mother’s maiden  name, and other  information  that  can help them  figure out passwords — or how to reset them.  Don’t share your ‘page’ or access to your information with anyone you don’t know and trust.  Cyber criminals may pretend to be your ‘friend’ to convince you to send money or divulge personal information.

Take precaution with your tablet or smartphone. Consider opting for automatic updates for your device’s operating system and applications (“apps”) when they become available to help reduce your vulnerability to software problems. Never leave your mobile device unattended and use a password or other security feature to restrict access in case your device is lost or stolen. Make sure your enable the “time-out” or “auto-lock” feature that secures your mobile device when it is left unused for a certain period of time. Research any app before downloading it.

Buying a home? Watch out for mortgage closing scams.  If you’re in the market for a new home this year, watch out for email phishing scams. According to reports, the scams target homebuyers who are nearing the closing date on their mortgage loan. The scammers attempt to steal the homebuyer’s closing funds – For example, their down payment and closing costs – by sending the homebuyers an email posing as the homebuyer’s real estate agent or settlement agent (title  company, escrow officer, or attorney). The email falsely claims there has been a last minute change in the closing process, for example, that a check is no longer acceptable or that the wiring instructions have changed. It instructs the homebuyer to wire or otherwise electronically transmit the closing funds to an account that the scammer control.

These tips may help homebuyers avoid this type of scam.

·                  Discuss the closing process and money transfer protocols with your real estate or settlement agent.

·                  If you receive an email requesting that you send money in connection with closing, even if it’s from a familiar source, STOP. Call your real estate or settlement agent to discuss. Don’t use phone numbers or links in the email.

·                  Don’t email financial information. Email is not a secure way to send financial information.

·                  Before sending any wire transfer, ask your bank for help identifying any red flags in the wiring instructions. Red flags include potential discrepancies between the account name and the name of the intended beneficiary (i.e., your real estate or settlement agent). Your bank may also be able to compare the receiving account number to account numbers identified in past consumer complaints as the destination of fraudulent transactions.

·                  Confirm receipt of the wire transfer by your real estate or settlement agent a few hours after the wire was transmitted. If you or another entity involved in the closing suspect a problem, report it to law enforcement and your bank as soon as possible to increase your likelihood of recovering the money.

What to do if you are a victim.

·                  Contact your bank or the money transfer company immediately upon discovering that funds have been transferred to the wrong account. Ask the bank or money transfer company to attempt a wire recall.

·                     Contact your local Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and state Attorney General office.

·                  File a complaint, regardless of the dollar amount, with the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov

·                     Report the phishing scam to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

Documents Containing Personal Information

Ensure all paper documents containing information such as account numbers, social security numbers, or other personally identifiable information are stored in a safe place and disposed of in a secure way. Cross-cut document shredders can lessen the chance that your information can be misused or stolen. For documents stored as a soft copy on your computer, password protection is also recommended.

Checkbooks

Ensure that your checkbooks are stored in a locked and secure location. In addition, you should periodically review your files to ensure you know the location of these items.
