Your privacy is important to us at WSFS Bank, Bryn Mawr Capital Management, LLC, Bryn Mawr Trust Company of Delaware and WSFS Wealth Management, LLC (along with any affiliates and subsidiaries, “WSFS,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), and we are committed to safeguarding, preserving, and respecting your privacy rights.  If you are a California resident, you have certain rights with respect to the collection, use, transfer, and processing of your personal information, as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100 et seq., as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”) and implementing regulations.  We reserve the right to limit these rights where permitted under applicable law, including where your identity cannot be reasonably verified or to the extent your rights adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

Applicability

This California Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how we collect, use, share, disclose, retain, and secure the personal information covered under the CCPA, including through our website, https://www.wsfsbank.com/ (the “Site”), when you interact with us as a customer, or otherwise (collectively, the “Services”).

Under the CCPA, personal information means information that identifies, relates to, or could reasonably be linked directly or indirectly to a particular California resident. It also includes certain categories of information that qualify as Sensitive Personal Information, identified below.  Please note that the CCPA does not apply to certain categories of information, such as those subject to the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act (“GLBA”). Therefore, this Policy does not apply to information that we collect about California residents who apply for or obtain or financial products and services for personal, family, or household purposes. Such customers can learn more by viewing our Privacy Notice, available here.

Submitting Requests

You can submit your request by emailing us at [email protected], by toll-free phone at 888.973.7226, or online request form.

Verifying Requests

To ensure the protection of your personal information, we must verify that the individual submitting a request to know, request to delete, or request to correct is the consumer to whom the request relates prior to processing the request.  To verify a California consumer’s identity, we may request up to three pieces of personal information about you when you make a request to compare against our records.  We may also request that you sign a declaration under the penalty of perjury from the consumer whose personal information is the subject of the request.

Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.

We will only use personal information provided in your request to verify your identity and will delete any information you provide after processing the request.  We reserve the right to take additional steps as necessary to verify the identity of California consumers where we have reason to believe a request is fraudulent.

Authorized Agents

You may choose a person or a business registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf to submit your requests (“Authorized Agent”).  If you choose to use an Authorized Agent, we require that you provide the Authorized Agent with written permission to allow them to submit your request and that you verify your identity directly with us.  Failure to do so may result in WSFS denying your request.
