If you are applying for a loan through one of our Services, in addition to the Personal Data listed above, we may also collect, where applicable, demographic information and credit and payment history.

If you are communicating with us via telephone or online chat, we may monitor or retain those conversations, including for quality control, for our records, and to use and train artificial intelligence tools to assist in providing our Services. We will inform you that your call or chat may be monitored or recorded before it begins.

You may update and correct certain account information at any time by logging into your account, contacting customer service, submiting a request at Your Privacy Choices, or reaching out through any of the methods listed in Contact Us.

Information We Collect Automatically When You Interact With Us

Activity, Device and Usage Information. We collect information about how you access our Services, including data about the device and network you use, such as your hardware model, operating system version, mobile network, Internet Protocol (IP) address, unique device identifiers, browser type and version, app version, time zone setting, and other portable devices. We also collect information about your activity in relation to our Services, such as website access times, website pages viewed, links clicked, logs, and other online data. This may include the website page(s) or social media applications or websites you visited before navigating to our Services and the resources that you access and use on our Services. We also collect information about how you interact with the emails we send you, including but not limited to whether you have opened them.

Transactional Information. We may collect Personal Data through the Services, such as when you engage in a transaction, such as a purchase or sale, including details about the products you have purchased, payments you have made, and/or other details of products you have purchased from us in the past.

Information Collected by Cookies and Similar Tracking Technologies. Like most websites, our website uses cookies, web beacons (also known as “pixel tags” or “action tags”), and other technologies to collect Personal Data. Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored as text files by your Internet browser on your computer’s hard drive. We use cookies to facilitate your navigation of the website, enable you to select products, recognize you and your access privileges, track your usage of the websites, and provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services. We use web beacons to assist us in delivering cookies and to help us determine whether you have viewed web pages on the websites and, if so, how many times. We keep a record of your browsing activity, the products that you have placed in an online shopping cart, and your purchase history.

In the U.S., most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. You can also opt out by visiting our websites with a legally recognized universal opt-out signal enabled, such as the Global Privacy Control. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of the website may then be inaccessible or not function properly.  For information on how to disable certain types of cookies, click the cookie icon in the website footer.

In the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the United Kingdom (“UK”), and Switzerland, you must opt in to all non-essential cookies.

Log Files. Our website servers automatically recognize the Internet URL from which you access our websites. We may also log your IP address, Internet service provider, and date/time stamp for system administration and troubleshooting, order verification, internal marketing, and for website security or to prevent fraud.

Location Information. In accordance with your device permissions, we may collect information about the general location of your device.

Information We Derive. Where permitted by law, we may derive information or draw inferences about you based on the information we collect. For example, we may make inferences about your approximate location based on your IP address or infer that you are interested in purchasing certain products based on your browsing behavior and past purchases. We may create inferred and derived data elements by analyzing your purchase or sale history in combination with other information we have collected about you to do things like personalize product offerings, your shopping experience, marketing messages, and promotional offers.

Information We Collect from Other Sources

We may receive your Personal Data from other sources, such as public databases, joint marketing partners, social media platforms, data analytics service providers, data enrichment providers, consumer research providers, and others (“Supplemental Information”). We may update and supplement the Personal Data that we have collected directly from you with Supplemental Information. This may include information regarding demographics, income estimations, households, marital status, or information necessary to conduct due diligence in connection with your orders or service requests. When we associate Supplemental Information with Personal Data that we have collected from you, we will treat the Supplemental Information like the information that we collected ourselves and, except as described in this Policy, the information will not be shared with third-parties.

We may share with or make available limited Personal Data to ad tech companies and other online providers of services.

4. Analytics, Tracking, and Targeted Advertising

Analytics

We deploy and engage others to provide analytics services on our behalf. These include the use of cookies, web beacons, device identifiers, and other technologies to collect information about your use of our Services, including your IP address, web browser, mobile network information, pages viewed, time spent on pages or in mobile apps, links clicked, and conversion information. We may use this information to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content, customize, or personalize the Services shown to you on our website, and better understand your online activity. For non-U.S. users, you must opt in to analytics tools.

Certain of our Services may use Google Analytics or Content Square to collect information about your use of the Services. These tools may collect information such as how often users visit a website, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other websites they used prior to visiting the website. We use the information we receive from these tools to improve the Services.

Online Tracking and Targeted Advertising

We engage others to serve advertisements across the web and in mobile applications. To do this, we and these partners may use cookies, pixels, SDKs, and similar technologies to collect information about your use of our Services and other websites and mobile apps, including your device identifiers, IP address, web browser and mobile network information, pages viewed, time spent on pages or in mobile apps, links clicked, order information, items added to cart, and conversion information. This information is used to deliver advertising targeted to you on other companies’ sites and mobile apps, understand the effectiveness of this advertising, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content, and better understand your online activity. In addition to ad targeting activities that rely on cookies and similar technologies, we work with advertising partners to translate other identifiers, such as your email address and phone number, into a unique identifier (called a hashed value) that such partners can then use to show ads that promote the Company. You can learn more about interest-based ads by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices. Your device may also include a feature that allows you to opt out of having certain information collected through mobile apps used for behavioral advertising purposes.

Some of the activities described in this section may constitute “targeted advertising,” “sharing,” or “selling” under certain applicable privacy laws. To learn more about the choices available to you with respect to these practices, click on the Your Privacy Choices link in the footer to opt-out of non-cookie based targeted advertising or click the cookie icon in the footer to opt out of the cookie-based targeted advertising. We do not engage in sales, sharing, or targeted advertising using Personal Data about consumers we know to be under 18 years of age.

You may still see “contextual” or “non-personalized” ads even if you opt out of targeted adverting. Contextual ads are based on the context of what you are looking at on the websites and pages you visit (e.g., you are on a page concerning investment vehicles and an ad for gold or silver rounds is displayed). Even if you opt out of targeted advertising you may still receive these contextual advertisements.

Our website may not respond to “Do Not Track” signals. If your browser supports it, you can turn on the Global Privacy Control (GPC) to opt-out of the selling or sharing of your Personal Data. Learn more at Global Privacy Control. You may be able to set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable certain cookies, some parts of our Services may not function properly. If you opt out of sales or set other preferences and subsequently delete or reset your cookies, those opt-outs or preferences may be lost. Please note that if you use different devices or browsers, you must indicate your preferences on each device or browser.

5. Data Retention

We do not retain Personal Data for longer than reasonably necessary to fulfill the business purposes for which it was collected, conduct audits, enforce our legal rights, prevent fraud and ensure security, or comply with our legal obligations. Our retention periods for Personal Data vary depending on the nature of our relationship with you, the sensitivity of the Personal Data, and the risks involved with any related processing. We regularly review our data retention periods and update these policies as needed.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable and appropriate measures designed to protect your Personal Data. We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards intended to help protect Personal Data from unauthorized access, use, modification, destruction, or disclosure.  While we strive to protect your Personal Data and privacy, no data transmission or storage is 100% safe or secure. We cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information disclosed or transmitted to us and cannot be responsible for the theft, destruction, or inadvertent disclosure of Personal Data.

7. Children’s Data

Our Services and products are not intended for use by children. We do not knowingly or intentionally collect Personal Data from persons who are under the age of eighteen (18). If you are under the age of eighteen (18), you should not use the Services or otherwise submit Personal Data to us.

9. US State Privacy Notice and California Notice at Collection

This section contains additional information relevant to residents of certain states (listed below). This section is part of, and should be read in conjunction with, this Policy.

California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Virginia have enacted consumer privacy laws that grant their residents certain rights and require specific disclosures (collectively, “State Privacy Laws”). If you are a resident of one of these states, this section applies to you. This section also serves as our California notice at collection.  We reserve the right to deny any requests made pursuant to the rights listed below if the law does not allow or require us to comply with them.

Your Privacy Rights

Data Subject Requests. You may have the right to (1) request to know more about the categories and specific pieces of Personal Data that we collect, use, and disclose and to access your Personal Data, including in a portable format, (2) request deletion of your Personal Data, (3) request correction of inaccurate Personal Data, (4) opt out of processing of certain Personal Data (such as sensitive data), and (5) not be discriminated against for exercising these rights – for example, we will never deny you goods or services, charge you a different rate, or provide a different quality of goods or services because you exercised any of these rights (“Data Subject Requests”).

You may make a Data Subject Request by filling out one or more of the forms at the following link Online Consumer Request Form (please note, we use my.datasubject.com to collect your request online). Alternatively, you may make the same requests by calling (877) 277-3090, sending an e-mail to privacy@amark.com, or writing us at: A-Mark Precious Metals, Inc., 2121 Rosecrans Avenue, Suite 6300, El Segundo, CA 90245 Attn: Chief Privacy Officer.

When you submit a Data Subject Request, we may ask you to provide sufficient information that allows us to verify that you are the person (or the authorized agent) about whom we collected the Personal Data. This may include requesting that you provide us with at least two or more pieces of personal information to match against personal information about you that we may or may not maintain and which we have determined to be reliable for the purpose of verification.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use Personal Data provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

If you have an account with us, we may deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, depending on the method by which we received your Data Subject Request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.

If we deny your Data Subject Request, you may also have the right to appeal our decision by submitting a form that will be provided to you if we deny your request. If you are unhappy with the results of your appeal, you may contact your State Attorney General.

Right to Opt Out of Sales, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising. We disclose certain categories of Personal Data to show you targeted ads on third-party properties. We may disclose certain Personal Data to advertising partners, advertising networks, and social media networks for this purpose, such as internet protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform and other technology on the devices you use to access our Services, information about how you use our Services, marketing campaign data, click throughs, your preferences and consents to receive marketing from us and our third parties, and your communication preferences. These disclosures may be considered “sales,” “sharing,” or use of Personal Data for “targeted advertising” under State Privacy Laws.

You have the right to opt out of activities that we engage in that constitute “targeted advertising,” “sharing,” or “sales” of Personal Data under the State Privacy Laws at any time by following the prompts behind the cookie icon, located in the footer of our websites (to opt out of cookie-based activities). Your opt-out choice will be linked to your browser only; therefore, you will need to renew your opt-out choice if you visit our website from a new device or browser, or if you clear your browser’s cookies. You may opt out of non-cookie-based disclosures associated with your email address or other personal information by filling out the Online Consumer Request Form (and submitting the required information) located at the Your Privacy Choices link. You can also opt out by visiting our websites with a legally recognized universal opt-out signal enabled, such as the Global Privacy Control. For Services that are account-based, if you are not logged into your account with us, our processing of the signal will be limited to cookie-based sales, sharing, and targeted advertising for the specific browser or device that you are using. You can learn more about enabling GPC opt-out of sale signals on your browser here.

Authorized Agents. If you are an authorized agent seeking to make a request to opt out of sales, sharing, or targeted advertising on behalf of a consumer, please fill out the Online Consumer Request Form.

If you reside in California and you would like to authorize an agent to submit an access, deletion, or correction request on your behalf, please designate your authorized agent by filling out the form at the following link Online Consumer Request Form (please note, we use my.datasubject.com to collect your request online).

We may ask authorized agents to submit proof of their authority to make a request, such as a valid power of attorney or proof that they have signed permission from the consumer who is the subject of the request. In some cases, we may contact the individual who is the subject of the request to verify their own identity or confirm the authorized agent has permission to submit the request.

California and Colorado Specific Notices

Collection and Disclosure. Certain State Privacy Laws require companies to disclose which categories of information have been collected and/or disclosed and the categories of recipients with whom the information has been disclosed. Note that while a category may be marked, that does not necessarily mean that we have information in that category about you.

10. Additional Disclosures for Individuals Outside the U.S. and Transfer of Information to the United States and Other Countries

This section contains additional information relevant to residents of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong SAR (“HKSAR”), and any other jurisdiction that provides residents with privacy rights, which each have their own data privacy laws, regulations, and associated rights. This content is part of, and should be read in conjunction with, this Policy.

Certain affiliate Companies are headquartered in the United States, and we have operations and service providers in the United States and other countries. Therefore, we and our service providers may transfer your Personal Data to, or store or access it in, jurisdictions that may not provide levels of data protection that are equivalent to those of your home jurisdiction. By submitting your Personal Data, you agree to this transfer, storing, and processing.  Where the laws of the country receiving your Personal Data are weaker than your home jurisdiction, we will ensure that any recipient of your Personal Data is bound by legally enforceable obligations that would require it to provide a standard of protection that is comparable to the protection under your home jurisdiction. We will take steps to ensure that your Personal Data receives an adequate level of protection in the jurisdictions in which we process it, including putting appropriate safeguards in place such as standard contractual clauses approved under applicable data protection laws.

Lawful Bases for Processing

When we process your personal information, we will do so in reliance on one or more of the following lawful bases:

• To perform our responsibilities under our contract with you (e.g., processing payments for and providing the products and services you requested).
• To pursue our “legitimate interests” in conducting and managing our business activities and to ensure that we are guaranteeing the best service and experience for you and our customers (e.g., to provide, maintain, personalize, enhance and improve our Services, to provide products, to respond to requests and inquiries, to monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities in connection with our Services, to enforce our policies and comply with legal, regulatory, and ethical obligations, to comply with marketing opt-outs and unsubscribes, to detect, monitor, and prevent fraud, security threats, or other unlawful acts, or to communicate with you).
• To comply with our legal obligations (e.g., to maintain a record of your consents, track those who have opted out of marketing communications, and comply with other regulatory and legal obligations).
• When we have your consent to do so (e.g., when you opt in to receive marketing communications from us). When consent is the legal basis for our processing your personal data, you may withdraw such consent at any time.

Data Subject Rights

Residents of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, HKSAR, and certain other countries, have unique privacy rights.  Depending on your home jurisdiction, these include:

• Access. You are entitled to ask us if we are processing your information and, if we are, you can request access to your personal information.  This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and certain other information about it.
• Correction. You are entitled to request that any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you is corrected.
• Erasure. You are entitled to ask us to delete or remove Personal Data in certain circumstances. There are also certain exceptions where we may refuse a request for erasure, for example, where the Personal Data is required for compliance with law or in connection with claims.
• Restriction. You are entitled to ask us to suspend the processing of certain of your Personal Data, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
• Portability. You may ask us to help you transfer certain of your Personal Data to another party.

All of these rights are subject to certain conditions and exemptions in accordance with the laws of each jurisdiction. Although we make good faith efforts to provide individuals with access to their Personal Information or exercise these rights in respect of jurisdictions where such rights are available, there may be circumstances in which we are unable to provide access, including but not limited to when it would compromise others’ privacy or other legitimate rights, when the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to the individual’s privacy, or when the information is commercially proprietary. To protect your privacy, we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access to or making any changes to your Personal Information. We will respond to your Data Subject Request within the legally required time-period or alert you of our need for additional time.

If you would like to exercise any of these rights or have inquiries about our personal data protection policies or procedures, please fill out and submit the Online Consumer Request Form or contact us through one of the other methods listed in Contact Us.

11. Additional Disclosures for Employment Applicants

This section of the Policy explains what personal information we collect, use, disclose, and otherwise processes about you as an applicant or potential job candidate (“Candidate Information”). This section does not apply to you as a current or former Company employee. This section provides additional information for employment applicants only. Other sections of this Policy may also apply. For example, if you are a resident of California, the US State Privacy Notice and California Notice at Collection section above applies to you. 

In addition to the Personal Data discussed above in the What Personal Data We Collect and How We Collect It section above, we also collect Candidate Information you provide directly to us, information that we obtain from third-parties including references, and information about you that we develop during our interaction with you such as through background check providers, recruitment consultants, or professional recruitment agencies. We may also derive Candidate Information by creating a profile reflecting your employment preferences, characteristics, behavior, intelligence, abilities, aptitudes, such as through notes taken as part of the interview process. Some of this information is collected automatically, and other information you may choose to provide to us. The types of Personal Data we may collect or develop include:

• Identifiers, such as your name, mailing address, email address, phone number, driver’s license or passport number, social security number, visas, and work authorizations.
• Demographic information, when required by law, such as your gender, racial or ethnic origin, veteran status, and disability status if you voluntarily submit such information as part of your application.
• Audio, visual or similar information, such as recorded virtual interviews, cameras and CCTV we install in our premises for security or safety and audio recordings we make of customer service calls.
• Professional or employment-related information, such as your resume or CV, cover letter, work history, educational information, professional licenses, and other experience, as well as contact information for both references and your current employer, employment application, information provided by references, background checks, our assessment of recruitment information.
• Social networking and similar information, to the extent permitted by law, such as social media and public profile information, including URLs related to your LinkedIn, and your personal website.
• Other information that you submit, including additional information provided in an application form, cover letter, or other work product.
• If and to the extent relevant for a specific role, information necessary to run a background check, such as information obtained either from you or through reference and background checks, or drug test results, subject to any further permissions or notifications required and/or permitted by applicable law.

Sensitive Personal Data. Please note that, where permitted by law, we may collect, store, and use Sensitive Personal Data about you, such as race, ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, gender, age, marital status, and health and medical conditions (collectively, “Sensitive Personal Data”). We collect this information for specific purposes, such as to accommodate a disability or illness, provide benefits, comply with legal obligations, and protect the health and safety of our employees. Please be assured that we will only use such Sensitive Personal Data to process your application and evaluate your candidacy as reasonably expected by an average person — and in accordance with applicable law.

In addition to the uses of personal information discussed above in the What Personal Data We Collect and How We Collect It section above, we use Personal Data to comply with statutory obligations we have in relation to your application, including confirming your eligibility to work in a given location. These purposes include:

• Administering and processing your application, including verifying your identification, experience, and other information you submit and, if your application progresses, any interview information, and background check information.
• Communicating with you about your application.
• Assessing and evaluating your suitability for the role for which you have applied or for other vacancies.
• Conducting reference and background checks, including criminal records checks.
• Complying with applicable laws and employment-related requirements, including verifying identification information and information required to initiate employment, for purposes such as confirming ability to legally work in a specific location, setting up payroll, withholdings and benefits, and complying with statutory reporting requirements.
• For other notified purposes with your consent.

If you accept employment with us, your Candidate Information will become part of your employment record and will be used for employment purposes in accordance with applicable law and any applicable employee Privacy Notice and Notice at Collection. If you are not accepted for a role, however, we may still keep your application, including relevant Candidate Information, to allow us to consider you for other career opportunities and provided that, if required by applicable laws, we obtained your prior consent for such longer retention of your personal data.
