California Middle Class Tax Refund - DON'T THROW AWAY AS JUNK MAIL!

[usonian]

3. What gets me is that the state has my bank info, and they sent a card instead of a direct deposit &

it comes with a privacy statement (privacy?) stating that New York Community Bancorp Inc (apparently there are no banks in California!) can share my personal information.

• For our everyday business purposes, including responding to court orders and legal investigations, or to report to credit bureaus. WTF?
• For our marketing purposes - to offer our products and services to you (WTF?), and
• For joint marketing with other financial institutions (WTF and 3/4?)

WITH NO WAY TO OPT OUT.
Can you limit this sharing?
NO

How the state engaged in such a shitshow is beyond my imagination.
I thought that limiting opt-out was against California Privacy Laws!

And by the way, thanks for the money.
