Privacy Policy
This is the Privacy Policy (“Policy”) of www.flccdb.com, a website used to access the State of Florida’s check cashing database pursuant to House Bill 217 which amended 560.310, F.S., effective July 1, 2013 (“Chapter 560”).
Who are we.
The website is an online service of Catalis (“Catalis”) that allows Florida licensed check cashers (“licensees”) to enter and track information regarding check cashing transactions (“transactions”) in order to comply with Chapter 560. Catalis is a third party, privately held company under contract with the State of Florida to provide the database.
Privacy Notice.
Privacy and security are our highest priority – ensuring lawful electronic access to transaction information while maintaining privacy is a guiding principle of our program. Personal data in our possession is maintained and used in ways that respect individual privacy. Catalis educates its employees about the importance of protecting personal information and privacy, and only authorized employees of Catalis and the State of Florida have access to personal information.
The purpose of this Policy is to notify you of the following.
1. What personally identifiable information is collected through the website.
2. The organization collecting this information.
3. How the information is used.
4. With whom the information may be shared.
5. The kind of security procedures that are in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of information under our control.
6. How you can correct any inaccuracies in the information.
If you feel that we are not abiding by our privacy policy, or if you wish to correct any inaccurate information, please contact Services by e-mail at mail@catalisgov.com.
Information we collect through the FLCCDB website.
If you fill out the "Contact Us" form, your name and other identifying information will not be sold or shared with any person or organization, other than the State of Florida. Your e-mail address or telephone number may be used by authorized FLCCDB employees to contact you concerning your comments, questions, or complaints.
How your information is used.
The information contained in the database is authorized by Chapter 560. Your information and check information may be accessed by the Florida Office of Financial Regulation, for the purpose of maintaining the database according to current rules, and for auditing and examination purposes as allowed by law.
We do not sell or rent information to third parties for marketing programs or for any other purpose.
Limited distribution of personal information.
At the direction of a licensee (when the "Submit" button is clicked), the information provided to us will be processed through the FLCCDB system and the appropriate response will be returned to the licensee. All the licensees in our network operate under federal and/or state laws and regulations. FLCCDB will treat information sent indirectly through a licensee in the same manner that it treats the information sent directly through the website.
Security.
The website has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. Catalis uses the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol to safeguard sensitive personal information during online transactions. Using this widely accepted form of encryption, your transaction is secured from a licensee’s personal computer to the Catalis computers processing the request, and the processing computers are located behind a secure firewall. This method protects your information.
This notice should not be construed in any way as guaranteeing, or warranting as fail proof, the security of information exchanged between licensees and Catalis.
Any changes to our privacy policy will be communicated through the website at least 30 days in advance of implementation. Information collected before changes are made will be secured according to the Policy in effect prior to the change.
