CA NOTICE OF FINANCIAL INCENTIVE / CO BONA FIDE LOYALTY PROGRAM NOTICE

Western Union® Rewards Program (“Rewards”), our loyalty program, is one way in which Western Union endeavors to reward and thank loyal customers for patronizing our business and utilizing Western Union services.  Rewards members opt in by signing up for Rewards at participating retail locations, online or through the Western Union App, and are able to earn and accumulate Rewards points with each completed money transfer that can be redeemed for discounted transfer fees on money transfers. If you would like to become a Western Union Rewards member, please see the Western Union Rewards Program Terms and Conditions for more information and/or click here to sign up.

Western Union collects and uses the categories of personal information described in the “PERSONAL INFORMATION WESTERN UNION COLLECTS,” “HOW WESTERN UNION COLLECTS PERSONAL INFORMATION,” and “HOW WESTERN UNION USES THE PERSONAL INFORMATION IT COLLECTS” sections of our Global Privacy Statement, including information you voluntarily provide us (such as your name and email), information we collect automatically, and information from other sources to operate the Rewards loyalty program, including to provide you promotions, content, and special offers and the other uses described in the Global Privacy Statement.  We work with service providers and business partners to offer benefits for our Rewards loyalty program.  Those partners may fall into the following categories: vendor partners, Western Union agents, subsidiaries, and affiliates, and/or service providers and business partners.  You can learn about the business partners with whom we share your information by referring to the “WHO WESTERN UNION SHARES YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH” section of the Global Privacy Statement.

Based on our reasonable and good faith estimate, we receive value from the Western Union® Rewards Program in increased customer loyalty and patronage, though any value will vary by Rewards member depending on the number of money transfers completed, which offers and discounts a member takes advantage of, and other factors.

Western Union does not assign monetary value for the information we collect through the Rewards loyalty program when sending email communications.  You may opt out of receiving promotional emails at any time by adjusting your Western Union online account settings, or by clicking the “unsubscribe” link included within any promotional emails we send you, though you will still receive service messages related to your Rewards account. Participation in Rewards is voluntary, and you may withdraw from the Rewards loyalty program by visiting the account or settings section in the Western Union App or your online profile, by requesting deletion of your information by filling out this form, or by contacting Western Union Customer Service. Please note that by withdrawing from Rewards, you will no longer have access to your Rewards account, but you can otherwise continue to use Western Union digital and retail platforms. All points and rewards you have earned until the time of withdrawal will no longer be available.  As previously shared, to communicate and provide services to you through the Rewards loyalty program, we need to use your personal information. Therefore, if you choose to delete your personal information from the Rewards loyalty program, or if you choose to exercise a general deletion request, we can no longer provide you with services and benefits through this Rewards loyalty program.

Should a Rewards member choose to opt-out of the share of their personal information, no loss of benefits for use of rewards points will occur for the Rewards program member for as long as they remain a member of the Rewards program. Opting out of the share of personal information may result in receiving fewer personalized offers and services, including any offers from third party partners participating in the Rewards program.

If you are a California or Colorado resident and opted out of our “share” of your personal information before you joined Rewards, you will need to opt out again once you are a member, if you do not wish for Western Union to “share” personal information. To do so, click here or contact Western Union Customer Service.
