Your Rights and Choices

The CCPA provides consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

Access to Specific Information and Copy of Personal Information

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months and to request a copy of the specific pieces of personal information that we have collected about you in the prior 12 months (collectively, referred to as your ‘access’ right). We will present this information to you in a readily usable format that can be transmitted (also known as data portability). Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:

• The categories of personal information we collected about you.
• The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
• Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.

You may request that we disclose the required information beyond the 12-month period, and we shall be required to provide that information unless doing so proves impossible or would involve a disproportionate effort.

Deletion Request Rights 

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.

We may deny your deletion request if an exception applies, such as regulatory or legal obligations or as required for servicing the account.

Correction Request Rights

You have the right to request that we correct any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will correct (and direct our service providers to correct) your personal information in our records, unless an exception applies. We may also provide you with the ability to correct your own personal information in certain contexts.

We may deny your correction request if an exception applies, such as regulatory or legal obligations or as required for servicing the account.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of your CCPA rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:

• Calling us at 717.291.2799 or 1.800.432.9887
• Emailing us at privacy@fult.com

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf (an “authorized agent”), may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

You may be able to use an opt-out preference signal based on the settings of your browser or device, and we will process such signals in accordance with our technical capabilities and applicable law.

Request Verification

You may only make a verifiable consumer request twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

• Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative. We may request to verify your identity by asking for a piece of government identification and your account number before responding to your request.
• Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

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 information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request's receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate or retaliate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights.

Changes to Our Privacy Notice

We reserve the right to amend this privacy notice at our discretion and at any time. When we make changes to this privacy notice, we will post the updated notice on the Website and the updated notice will go into effect on this date. Your continued use of our website following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes.
