Internet Security

We built our websites using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) which encrypts your Information. We also require a username and password for each visit to our website. Although you will "time out" after a certain period of inactivity on the website, you should always remember to sign off when finished using a shared computer.

We reveal only the last four digits of your Bank Card numbers when confirming your remittance transaction. However, the entire Bank Card number is transmitted to the relevant credit or debit card company for authorization of your remittance transaction.

Our Privacy policy prohibits the unlawful disclosure of personal information and limits access to it as described herein. However, despite our best efforts, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access your transmissions to us or may wrongly instruct you to disclose information to them by posing as UnitySend or by misinforming you about our services. We will continue to investigate additional security measures as they become available and encourage you to maintain your username and password separate from your computer and in a secure location, accessible only to you.



Options Regarding Use of Your Information

Federal and state laws allow you to restrict the sharing of your personal information in certain instances. However, these laws also state that you cannot restrict other types of sharing. Because we have chosen to refrain from certain types of data sharing, the only type of sharing of your Information that you may restrict is as follows:

If, after giving us your permission to share your Information with third parties with whom we market our jointly offered products, you later decide that you no longer want us to share such information or to request that we delete any of your personal information, you may contact us by email at customerservice@unitysend.com or by mail at UnitySend Attn: Customer Service, 293 East 167th Street, Bronx, New York 10456.

You may also opt-out from promotional email and text messages sent to you by UnitySend or our third-party partners by accessing your preferences under "My Account" or selecting the "Unsubscribe" function in the promotional email message and providing the required information or texting "STOP".

If you are a new consumer or customer, we may begin sharing your information 30 days from the date you registered for the services. When you are no longer using the services, we will continue to share your information as described in this notice. However, you can contact us at any time to limit our sharing.
