This Agreement is in addition to other agreements that may apply to you, including your Capital One credit card, checking, savings, auto loan, Shopping, and CreditWise account(s) (“Account” or “Accounts”) agreements, our Online Banking Terms and Conditions, and our Online Privacy Policy. If there is a conflict between this Agreement and other policies or terms, solely as they apply to the Service, this Agreement governs. The terms of this Agreement are not intended to modify any disclosures or other terms that are required by law. Please also visit www.capitalone.com/privacy for information about how Capital One collects, uses, and discloses personal information in connection with the Service.
- How it works. The Service allows Capital One to collect information related to your accounts at other companies, including banks and financial institutions (“External Account(s)”). For example, Capital One may collect information about a checking account you have with another bank.
- Accessing and Collecting Your Data. With your permission, we may access and collect information from your External Accounts (“External Account Information”). External Account Information includes any data about your External Accounts that you give us permission to collect, which may include account numbers, ownership information, account types, past and current balances, payment information, and account transactions.
- Use of External Account Information. We may use External Account Information for any purpose that you authorize. Additionally, we may also use External Account Information as disclosed in our Online Privacy Policy, including to:
• Improve or create products and services, including by using External Account Information to develop and train our models.
• Personalize and send you offers for products and services, and evaluate or improve the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.
• Prevent fraud and other unlawful activity.
• Comply with legal requirements and contractual obligations.
If you authorize us to use your External Account Information to assess and make decisions about the terms of your accounts and eligibility for credit, products, and services, we may make a decision that results in less favorable terms for you or that you are no longer eligible for certain products and services. For example, we may use External Account Information to review your creditworthiness and decide to decrease your existing credit limits or purchasing power.
We may also anonymize, de-identify, or aggregate (“depersonalize”) your External Account Information such that it no longer identifies you personally under applicable law. We may use depersonalized External Account Information for any lawful purpose.
- Authorization to Access Data; Using Service Providers. We’ll ask you to either (a) sign in directly on your External Account provider’s website; or (b) authorize our service provider to sign into your External Account provider’s website on your behalf using your login information. Your login information includes your username, password, security questions and answers, and any other information required to log into your External Account. We will tell you if we use a service provider to access your External Account Information. You understand the service provider may have access to and may store your External Account Information and login information. This is in addition to information Capital One may receive. Any External Account Information held by the service provider is subject to the service provider’s privacy policy and any other terms of service to which you agree.
Our current service providers include Mastercard International Inc. (“Mastercard”) and MX Technologies, Inc. (“MX”). You can view these companies’ privacy policies on their websites:

We reserve the right to use other third-party service providers to access and collect External Account Information in the future.
- Your Credentials and Authorization to Access External Accounts. By presenting your login information to access an External Account, you represent that the login information is yours or you are authorized to access the account. You also authorize us and our service providers to use your login information to retrieve External Account Information for all of your accounts with that provider.
- Access Duration. We will tell you if we intend to access your External Account Information once or on a recurring or ongoing basis.
- Disconnecting an External Account. You can revoke our right to continue accessing an External Account at any time by logging into our website or mobile app.
- Accuracy and Availability. Your External Account provider(s) and our service providers, if applicable, are responsible for the accuracy and availability of your External Account Information. External Account Information may not be available from all financial institutions.
- Consumer Reports under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The External Account Information we obtain may be considered a consumer report subject to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”).
