Our Commitment to You
SIMM Associates, Inc. is proud to be a financial services organization (collection agency) that has been providing superior services to its customers and clients for more than 14 years. We greatly appreciate the trust that you have placed in us, and we will protect that trust by continuing to respect the privacy of all our customers and clients even if our formal customer relationship ends.
How We Handle Information We Obtain
It is important for you to know that in order to ensure that our customers get the very best service SIMM collects demographic information (like your name and address) and credit information (like information related to your accounts with us and others). This information comes either directly from you, for instance, from your application and transactions on your account; or, it may come from an outside source such as your credit bureau report. In addition, if you visit our Internet web site, we may collect certain information about your Internet usage. Because some of the information we gather is not publicly available, we take great care to ensure that this information is kept safe from unauthorized access, and we will not share the information in violation of any regulation or law. SIMM diligently maintains physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with applicable federal standards to guard your private personal information and to assist us in preventing unauthorized access to that information.
How We Share Information with Other Third Parties
We may also provide information to non-affiliated companies that perform operational, collection, or fraud control services related to your account. The sharing of information with these types of companies is permitted by law. Such a company might include a financial company (such as an insurance service provider) or a non-financial company (such as a data processor or internet service provider) with whom we have a service agreement. The information we may share also comes from the sources described above and might include your name, address, phone number, and account experience with us. Finally, we provide information about you to non-affiliated companies such as credit reporting agencies and companies which provide services related to your account. This information sharing is also permitted by law.
