7. Retention of Information
The Company maintains a Records Retention Policy that outlines our practices for retention of business-related information. We are subject to certain legal and regulatory requirements to retain certain information for a defined period of time. Absent a specific requirement to retain personal information based on the retention schedule, a contractual obligation, litigation hold or other legitimate business purpose, the Company deletes information when it is no longer necessary for the proper operation of the Company.
8. How We Protect Your Information
We believe privacy and security must go together. We maintain an Information Security Program with administrative (policies, standards, and processes), physical, and technical controls designed to protect the security and confidentiality of your information both online and offline. We also hold our service providers and other third parties with whom we may share information to confidentiality and security standards. However, while we take precautions, there are inherent risks and limitations to any security program and therefore we cannot guarantee absolute security of your information. Please do your part by keeping any passwords to our systems secure, changing them often and taking other reasonable steps when communicating or sharing personal information with us.
9. Children’s Privacy
Our technology solutions and Sites are not intended for, nor targeted to, children under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under that age for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from anyone under the age of 16, we will delete the information from our records.
10. Communication Choices
Every marketing email from FinThrive contains instructions on how to opt-out of receiving further communications. To change your email subscription status or opt-out of FinThrive’s marketing communications, please follow the instructions indicated. We will comply with your request(s) as soon as reasonably practicable. Please note that if you opt-out of receiving marketing-related emails from us, we may still send you important administrative messages.
Likewise, if you are a representative of a customer or FinThrive business partner with whom we do business, you may update your contact information and preferences with us through your account at any time. If you need assistance, please reach out to us at the “Contact Us” information below.
11. State Privacy Laws and Your Rights

12. How Many California Consumer Privacy Act Requests Did We Fulfill Last Year?
The table below details the number of requests received by FinThrive, which includes but is not limited to those received by its subsidiaries TSG Holdco, LLC and FinThrive Healthcare, Inc., from California residents under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in 2023. A request is received when a consumer or their agent submits a request to FinThrive via one of the methods described in our Privacy Policy. A request may be denied if the consumer submitted a request but did not complete steps to enable us to verify their identity, or their identity could not otherwise be verified. A request submitted by an authorized agent may be denied if the agent did not provide sufficient documentation to allow us to determine that the agent was authorized by the consumer to submit the request.
*This reflects the number of requests we were unable to fulfill due to the following reasons:
- The requestor did not complete the necessary steps to verify their identity.
- We were otherwise unable to verify the identity of the requestor.
- An agent did not provide sufficient documentation to allow us to determine that they were authorized to make the request.
- There was a valid exemption under the CCPA.
