How We Use Cookies and Other Data Collection Tools

Cookies and Visitor Tags. To better serve you and to provide more effective Online Services, we use "Cookies" as part of our interaction with the device you are using. Cookies are small data files that are placed on your web browser when you visit a website. In addition to Cookies, we may use other devices such as visitor tags, including those sometimes referred to as web beacons or pixels. These are similar small files on our Wilmington Trust websites, not the user’s browser, that use a unique identifier enabling us to recognize when someone has visited our websites or opened an e-mail that we have sent them. Information collected with these tools can include pages and content viewed, including text, image, and video content, time and duration of visits, search queries entered into search fields, and whether a user clicked on an advertisement. We may also use other technologies, such as the real time capture of screenshots, commonly known as session replay, while you are using our Online Services, to understand how you navigate and use the Services.

You can find more information about these data collection tools, as well as descriptions of how we use them, in the Wilmington Trust Cookie Notice

You can refuse to accept certain Cookies by using the Manage Cookies link on our website.

You can also visit the "Help" section of your browser for how to manage your cookie settings, or follow the links below:

For further general information on Cookies and more detailed advice on how to disable and enable them, please visit allaboutcookies.org.

Do Not Track

While, as described above, you may have the ability to control the use of Cookies through your web browser, unless the browser settings block our data collection, we do not currently respond to "Do Not Track" signals or other mechanisms. The available settings vary greatly by browser; please refer to your Internet browser settings for more information. For more information about Do Not Track, please visit allaboutdnt.com.

Children's Privacy

We recognize that protecting children's identities and privacy online is important and that the responsibility to do so resides with both the business and the parents. We do not knowingly solicit data from children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly market through our website to such children.

Legal Basis for Processing Personal Information

Our legal basis for collecting and using personal information depends on the type of information and the context in which it is collected. We generally process personal information where it is necessary to perform a contract with you, to comply with a legal obligation, where it is in our legitimate interests (provided those interests are not overridden by your rights), or where we have your consent. Where we rely on legitimate interests, this typically includes operating and improving our Online Services, communicating with you, marketing, and detecting or preventing illegal activity. If we request personal information to meet a legal requirement or perform a contract, we will indicate whether providing it is mandatory and explain the consequences of not doing so. If you have questions about the legal basis for processing your personal information, please contact us using the details provided under the “How to contact us” heading below.

Working with Other Companies

From time to time, Wilmington Trust may establish a relationship with other companies and vendors who provide us with the tools used to collect and analyze the aforementioned data that is used to improve the operation of our Online Services or for marketing purposes.

Wilmington Trust offers access to other websites either using hyperlinks or through "co-branded" sites in which both Wilmington Trust and the other company share the same URL, domain name or pages within a domain name on the Internet. In some cases, the other site will also collect information from you. This information may include, but is not limited to, name, address, national identification number, account numbers and date of birth. Prior to providing any information to any third party, review their privacy policy to determine the extent to which they may disclose your information.

Making Sure Your Information is Accurate

It is important for us to have your most accurate and up-to-date contact information. If any of your contact information has changed, please call or write us at the proper telephone number or address located within the Help page.  You may also call or write us at the telephone number or mailing address located on your account statements or other records as indicated.

Security of our Online Services

We protect information you provide us online in several ways. Wilmington Trust Online Services leverages multiple layers of security, including password protection and the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) communication protocol, which employs 256-bit encryption to ensure information is passed to Wilmington Trust without being intercepted by third parties. As always, we strongly encourage you to assist us in that effort by not sharing your Wilmington Trust User ID or Password with anyone. For more information about Online Services security, please visit the Wilmington Trust Privacy/Security page.

Aggregation Websites

Please use caution when using aggregation websites. Aggregation websites offer the ability to access all your financial account information on one website. To do this, an aggregation provider may request access to your User IDs and Passwords. You should use caution and ensure that the aggregator company has appropriate policies and practices to protect the privacy and security of any information you provide or to which they are gaining access. We are not responsible for the use or disclosure of any Personal Information accessed by any other company or person to whom you provide your User ID and Password.

All transactions initiated by an aggregation website, using access information you provide are considered to be authorized by you, whether or not you were aware of the specific transaction. If you decide to revoke the authority you have given to an aggregation website, we strongly recommend that you change your User ID and Password to ensure that the aggregation website cannot continue to access your account.

International Data Transfers

We may transfer your personal information to, and process it in, countries other than the country where you live. The data protection laws in those countries may differ from the laws that apply in your country.

For example, we may share your personal information with our group companies, third-party service providers, and business partners located around the world, including in countries outside the UK and the European Economic Area, such as the United States. As a result, when we collect your personal information, it may be processed in any of these countries.

We implement appropriate safeguards to ensure your personal information remains protected in line with this Notice. This includes using the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) for transfers between our group companies, requiring them to protect UK and EEA personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws. We apply similar safeguards when working with third-party service providers and partners, including relying on their adherence to approved data transfer frameworks or equivalent protections.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as we have an ongoing business need to do so, such as to provide services you’ve requested or to comply with legal, tax, or accounting requirements. When we no longer need your information, we will delete or anonymize it. If that is not immediately possible (for example, due to backup storage), we will securely store and restrict further use until deletion is possible. In general, we retain your information for the duration of your customer relationship and, afterward, only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Notice and as permitted by applicable law.

Your Data Protection Rights

You may exercise your data protection rights by contacting us using the details provided under the “How to contact us” heading below. These rights include access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to processing, and data portability, as well as the right to opt out of marketing communications. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing or processing based on other legal grounds. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection authority. We respond to all requests in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

Changes to this Digital Privacy Notice

This Notice should be reviewed periodically as it is subject to change from time to time. When a change has been made, we will post the revised Notice on this page with a new "Last Updated" date at the top of the page. All changes will become effective when posted unless indicated otherwise.

Your continued use of any of our Services following the posting of a revised version of this Digital Privacy Notice will constitute your acceptance of the revised Notice. If you do not agree with the revised Digital Privacy Notice, do not use any of our Online Services.
