Fraud and Risk Service Providers
eDeposit may arrange for one or more service providers to provide background information on you if you are performing financial transactions on the eDeposit website. Such providers may include federal authorities and watch list providers (e.g., Office of Foreign Assets Control) and also may include third party audit services that will protect eDeposit and you from account takeovers, phishing and other schemes designed to fraudulently use your account.
Information from eDeposit Service Partners
eDeposit may arrange for one or more services on the eDeposit website to be provided to you in whole or in part by a third party partner. For example, eDeposit may arrange for a third party partner to provide electronic funds transfer services to you. The services of these third party partners are governed by their privacy policies, not the eDeposit Privacy Statement. This third party partner may share information about your transactions with eDeposit for display on the eDeposit website and for purposes permissible under this Privacy Statement.
For more information regarding privacy you can visit the following sites:
- TRUSTe - provides website certification programs.
- The Federal Trade Commission - offers an overview of privacy protection.
Other Information Pertaining to Your Account

Can this Privacy Statement Change?
eDeposit reserves the right to change this Privacy Statement at any time. We will post those changes to this Privacy Statement viewable via our website and other places we deem appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here, by email, or by means of notice on the eDeposit home page.
Legally Required and Other Disclosures
There may be occasions where we believe in good faith that we are legally obligated to disclose information about you, such as in response to a subpoena, or to comply with a legally-permitted inquiry by a government agency or regulator. We may also disclose any information about you to law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate, in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements, or other activity that may be illegal or may expose us to legal liability.
If you become involved in a dispute relating to the use of our services, or our fees, including arbitration or litigation to resolve the dispute, we may disclose your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
We observe standard industry practice to protect your privacy; however, we cannot absolutely guarantee that your Personal Information will at all times remain private, for instance from hackers. Fraud occurs on even the most secure sites, and consumers agree that the use of our site is at their own risk.
By using eDeposit, you acknowledge and understand that you are aware of security and privacy limitations, including but not limited to: (1) the limitation of security, privacy and authentication measures and features in this system; (2) that data or information on the service may be subject to outside threats and (3) that data may not reach its destination or may reach an erroneous address or recipient.
