INDEX 2: ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR U.S CUSTOMERS
Illinois Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA)

The Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) specifically requires data collectors to notify affected individuals whenever a breach of the security of the data collector's system data occurs. PIPA is the enactment of House Bill 1633, which was signed into law in June, 2005, and went into effect on January 1, 2006. With PIPA, Illinois became only the second state in the country to respond to major security breach cases. The Personal Information Protection Act creates several stipulations for notifying affected persons of a data breach.

What is a breach of security systems?

The definition of a breach under the Act is: "unauthorized acquisition of computerized data that compromises the security, confidentiality, or integrity of personal information maintained by the data collector." As long as an institution "handles, collects, disseminates, or otherwise deals with nonpublic personal information" it is considered a data collector. Accessing the data is not a breach, so notification does not have to occur every time the data is collected. But if the data is accessed and used for a purpose unrelated to the business or if it is made available to further unauthorized disclosure, this would also be considered a breach.

What data is protected?

"Personal data" is the term for protected information that is used in PIPA and it is defined as: An individual's first name or first initial and last name, in combination with any one or more of the following:
1. Social security number
2. Driver's license number or State identification card number
3. Account number or credit or debit card number, or an account number or credit card number in combination with any security code, access code or password that would permit access to an individual's financial account.
4. Medical or health insurance information.
5. Unique biometric data generated from measurements or technical analysis of human body characteristics used by the owner or licensee to authenticate an individual
- fingerprint
- retina or iris image
- other unique physical representation or digital representation of biometric data
It is important to note, "personal information" does not include publicly available information or public records.

Who do I contact if I have questions or suspect I have had a security breach?

For additional information about the Personal Information Protection Act please consult directly with the Metaprise at customer@metaprisebanking.com. To report a potential security breach related to the Personal Information Protection Act, please email us at customer@metaprisebanking.com. Metaprise has a formal procedure for handling security-related incidents and units must not attempt to respond to incidents involving confidential information on their own. The responses will be coordinated by security and compliance teams accordingly.

What types of notification are required?

Notification to individuals - Notification must be made in the most expedient time possible without unreasonable delay. However, time may be taken to determine the scope or the breach as well as to restore the integrity and security of the system.
There are three acceptable means of notification:
Written notice
Electronic notice
"Substitute notice" - This is when it is not feasible to provide written or electronic notice because
the cost of the notice would exceed $250,000 or
there are over 500,000 people to notify or
the data collector doesn't have sufficient contact info
If substitute notice was the only option available, then there are three steps that must be taken for substitute notice:
1. email notice if the data collector has an email address for the subject persons
2. conspicuous posting of the notice on the data collector's web site
3. notification to major statewide media.

For Nevada Residents Only

Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 603A governs the collection of personally identifiable information for consumers. Metaprise LLC is subject to the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act therefore the Nevada privacy law does not apply.

In compliance with the GLBA, we are providing you with this document, which notifies you of the privacy policies and practices of Metaprise LLC.
