1. Introduction

USA Financial Corporation wants you to understand what personally identifiable information we collect from you online, when you use or visit our website, www.usafinancial.com, or when you interact with our advertisements online. In this Online Privacy Policy, "we" and "our" refers to USA Financial and our affiliate organizations, USA Financial Securities, USA Financial Exchange, USA Financial Formulas, USA Financial Marketing, and USA Financial Insurance Services (collectively, "USA Financial"). "You" refers to you, an individual.

USA Financial's registered entities provide securities and/or insurance products to investors and maintain privacy policies related to those interactions, which are significantly more expansive than simply visiting our website or interacting with our online advertisements. We value our relationship with our clients and we are committed to the responsible management, use, and protection of our customers' personal data. Each registered entity's investor-focused privacy policy can be found below:

In addition to our standard privacy policy, USA Financial maintains this Online Privacy Policy ("Online Policy") to help you understand how we collect, store, use, disclose, and protect your personal data when you visit our websites or engage with us online. Personal data, also known as personal information, personally identifiable information (PII), or sensitive personal information (SPI), is any information that can identify a person. Specifically, PII is defined, as follows:

Any representation of information that permits the identity of an individual to whom the information applies to be reasonably inferred by either direct or indirect means. Further, PII is defined as information: (i) that directly identifies an individual (e.g., name, address, social security number or other identifying number or code, telephone number, email address, etc.) or (ii) by which an agency intends to identify specific individuals in conjunction with other data elements, i.e., indirect identification. (These data elements may include a combination of gender, race, birth date, geographic indicator, and other descriptors). Additionally, information permitting the physical or online contacting of a specific individual is the same as personally identifiable information. This information can be maintained in either paper, electronic or other media. (https://www.dol.gov/general/ppii)
