Facts
What does USAA do with your personal information?
Why?
Financial companies choose how they share your personal information. Federal law gives consumers the right to limit some, but not all sharing. Federal law also requires us to tell you how we collect, share, and protect your personal information. Please read this notice carefully to understand what we do.
What?
The types of personal information we collect and share depend on the product or service you have with us. This information can include:
- Social Security number and income
- account balances and account transactions
- credit history and insurance claim history
How?
All financial companies need to share customers' personal information to run their everyday business. In the following section, we list the reasons financial companies can share their customers' personal information; the reasons USAA chooses to share; and whether you can limit this sharing.
To limit our sharing
- Visit us online: usaa.com/optout, or

Please Note:
If you are a new customer, we can begin sharing your information 30 days from the date we sent this notice. When you are no longer our customer, we continue to share your information as described in this notice.

What we do
How does USAA protect my personal information?
To protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use, we use security measures that comply with federal law. These measures include computer safeguards and secured files and buildings.
How does USAA collect my personal information?
We collect your personal information, for example, when you:
- open an account, or deposit money
- pay your bills, or apply for a loan or insurance
- use your credit or debit card, or provide account information
We also collect your personal information from others, such as credit bureaus, affiliates, or other companies.
Why can't I limit all sharing?
Federal law gives you the right to limit only:
- sharing for affiliates' everyday business purposes — information about your creditworthiness
- affiliates from using your information to market to you
- sharing for nonaffiliates to market to you
State laws and individual companies may give you additional rights to limit sharing. See Other important information section for more on your rights under state law.
What happens when I limit sharing for an account I hold jointly with someone else?
Your choices will apply to everyone on your account.
