This California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) Privacy Policy supplements the information contained in PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“Pennymac”)’s online “Privacy Policy” for PennyMac Loan Services, LLC and its affiliates with Pennymac in its name (collectively, “Pennymac”, “we,” “us,” “our”). We adopt this privacy policy to comply with the CCPA, and it applies solely to persons who reside in the State of California (“consumer” or “you”).

The CCPA provides California residents with privacy rights related to the personal information businesses collected about you and your household. The purpose of this privacy policy is to provide you with a description of our business practices regarding the collection, use, sale, sharing, and retention of your personal information and of your rights regarding your personal information.

Under the CCPA, you have the right to know what personal information Pennymac collects, uses, sells, shares, retains, the right to request the deletion of your personal information collected, and the right to opt-out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. However, these rights only extend to information covered by the CCPA, and because the CCPA does not cover all consumer information in all scenarios, only certain information is subject to the above referenced rights.

Exceptions:

The CCPA contains certain exceptions. For example, privacy rights established under the CCPA (including the right to know, right to delete, and right to correct) do not apply to personal information collected or disclosed pursuant to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).
