We primarily receive personal information as a result of consumers'
financial transactions with business customers of Taurus or an Taurus

directly from consumers. However, in the event Taurus collects information
directly from consumers, we will obtain the personal information that is

information about consumers from third parties, we use reputable
sources, including public repositories.
2. WE WILL INFORM CONSUMERS ABOUT THE GENERAL USES OF THEIR INFORMATION.
Generally, Taurus does not have a direct customer relationship with
consumers. However, in the event we have a direct relationship with
consumers, we will strive to make information available to them about

obtains personal information about consumers indirectly through our
business customers and channels. To that end, we encourage our business
customers and channels to provide these consumers with a timely and
complete privacy notice.

contractual requirements to ensure sensitive personal information is
safeguarded. For purposes of credit reporting, verification and risk
management, we may share information about consumers with third parties.
We will also disclose consumer information in response to a lawful
request issued by a court, government agency or regulatory authority
with the jurisdiction to make that request.
4. WE GIVE CONSUMERS CHOICES ABOUT HOW THEIR DATA WILL BE USED.
If we obtain personal information as part of a direct relationship with
consumers, we will not share this information with non-affiliated third
parties except in accordance with these Privacy Principles; to provide
products and services; to facilitate and complete consumer-initiated or
authorized transactions and service requests; to comply with federal,
state and local laws, including credit reporting laws and card
association rules; to combat fraud or identity theft; or to offer
products and services that Taurus believes may be of interest to its customers.

At Taurus, security is a priority. We employ appropriate measures to
protect consumer information against unauthorized access, disclosure,
alteration or destruction. Taurus reviews and enhances its security
systems, as necessary.
