How MarylandSaves uses and shares your information

MarylandSaves may share your Personal Information with its service providers, contractors, auditors, legal counsel, and agents in order to provide services and to administer MarylandSaves in accordance with applicable law. MarylandSaves may disclose your Personal Information as permitted by law or with your consent. Neither MarylandSaves nor its service providers will share or sell your personal information for commercial purposes. MarylandSaves’ service providers are obligated to keep personal information they collect in the course of providing services to MarylandSaves confidential and to use it only to provide services to MarylandSaves or assist with its administration. MarylandSaves requires its service providers to comply with applicable privacy laws and regulations, including those related to the safeguarding of your Personal Information.

Upon request, representatives of MarylandSaves will respond to questions as to why certain information is requested, collected, and maintained. Upon receipt of a written consent to disclose pursuant to Maryland law and administrative rules governing the program, participants will have the opportunity to examine any of their personal records under MarylandSaves’ control. Information that cannot be used to identify you (for example, aggregated information) is not considered Personal Information, and therefore is not subject to this privacy policy.
