Our Commitment to Privacy

This Website is developed and maintained by DolEx Dollar Express Inc. (“DolEx,” “We,” “Our,” or “Us”). The data controller is DolEx and can be contacted as explained below in the “How to Contact Us” section of this notice. DolEx, Our subsidiaries, and affiliates care about Your privacy and are committed to processing Your personal information in accordance with all applicable privacy and data protections laws.

When You visit Our Website, official social media sites, or other online properties (collectively “Sites” or “Services”), DolEx may collect and use certain information about You. We recognize that You care about how Your information is used, and Your privacy is important to Us.

This Privacy Notice (“Notice”) explains how We may collect and use Your information, particularly Your personal information, and the choices You can make about what information You share.

This Privacy Notice applies to all Services offered by DolEx to U.S. consumers, except where a product or service has a separate privacy notice that does not incorporate this Privacy Notice. Certain individuals also may be provided with additional privacy notices as described below.

DolEx Customers

When You sign up for an account with DolEx or use Our money transfer services or another DolEx financial product or service, We may collect and use Your personal information pursuant to Our GLBA Privacy Notice as applicable. Federal law requires Us to provide notice to certain consumers to explain what personal information is collected, how it is shared, and how consumers may limit how We share the information.

Digital Advertising & Data Analytics

We may partner with ad networks and other ad serving providers (“Advertising Providers”) that distribute advertising on Our behalf and others on non-affiliated platforms. Some of those ads may be personalized, meaning that they are intended to be relevant to You based on information Advertising Providers collect about Your use of the Services and other sites or apps over time, including information about relationships among different browsers and devices. This type of advertising is known as interest-based advertising.

You can visit www.aboutads.info to learn more about interest-based advertising and how to opt-out of this advertising on Your browser by companies participating in the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) self-regulatory program.

To learn more about interest-based advertising in mobile apps and to opt out of this type of advertising by companies that participate in the DAA’s AppChoices tool, please download the version of AppChoices for Your device, available at the links below:

Advertising Providers may also collect and use information through Our apps about the precise location of Your mobile device, in order to provide ads that are more relevant to You. If You do not want Advertising Providers to collect information through Our apps about Your device’s precise location, You can turn off location services on Your device. If You delete Your cookies, reset Your device advertising identifier, or use a different browser or mobile device, You will need to renew Your opt-out choice. You may also be able to limit data collection for advertising purposes using tools available on Your device. Note that choosing to opt out will not stop advertising from appearing in Your browser. It may make the ads You see less relevant to Your interests. Additionally, Your browser may offer tools to limit the use of cookies or to delete cookies; however, if You use these tools, Our Services may not function as intended. Advertising Providers may continue to collect data for other purposes, including analytics and other operational purposes.

We may also work with third parties that collect data about Your use of the Services and other sites or apps over time for non-advertising purposes. DolEx uses Google Analytics and other third-party services to improve the performance of the Services and for analytics and marketing purposes. For more information about how Google Analytics collects and uses data when You use Our Services, visit https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/, and to opt out of Google Analytics, visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.

Our Sites and Services may provide links to third-party Websites or apps for Your convenience and information. These websites may operate independently from Our Sites. We do not control the privacy practices of those Websites or apps, and they are not covered by this Privacy Notice. Linked websites may have their own privacy notices or policies, which We strongly suggest You review if You visit any linked websites. To the extent any linked websites You visit are not part of this website, We are not responsible for their content, any use of the websites, or the privacy practices of any of those websites.
