When you visit our Sites and Portals, we may obtain certain information by automated means, such as cookies, web beacons, web server logs and other technologies. A “cookie” is a text file that websites send to a visitor’s computer or other internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser. A “web beacon,” also known as an internet tag, pixel tag or clear GIF, links web pages to web servers and cookies and may be used to transmit information collected through cookies back to a web server. The information we collect in this manner may include your device IP address, unique device identifier, web browser characteristics, device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, clickstream data, and dates and times of website visits.

When you use our Apps, we also may collect certain information by automated means, such as through device logs, server logs and other technologies. The information we collect in this manner may include the device type used, the mobile operating system, device identifiers and similar unique identifiers, device settings and configurations, IP addresses, battery and signal strength, usage statistics, referring emails and web addresses, dates and times of usage, actions taken on the App, and other information regarding use of the App. In addition, as indicated above, we may collect your device’s geolocation information. Your device’s operating platform may provide you with a notification when the App attempts to collect your precise geolocation. Please note that if you decline to allow the App to collect your precise geolocation, you may not be able to use all of the App’s features or the offers available through the App.

We may use these automated technologies on our Digital Properties to collect information about your equipment, browsing actions, and usage patterns. These technologies help us (1) remember your information so you do not have to re-enter it; (2) track and understand how you use and interact with our Digital Properties; (3) tailor the Digital Properties around your preferences; (4) measure the usability of our Digital Properties and the effectiveness of our communications; and (5) otherwise manage and enhance our products and services, and help ensure they are working properly.

Your browser may tell you how to be notified about certain types of automated collection technologies and how to restrict or disable them. Please note, however, that without these technologies, you may not be able to use all of the features of our Digital Properties. For mobile devices, you can manage how your device and browser share certain device data by adjusting the privacy and security settings on your mobile device.

As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance our online security and protect your information, we may place a private key on your device to help us identify the device as belonging to you. The use of a private key on your device assists you in conducting your online banking transactions.

On our Digital Properties, we may obtain information about your online activities to provide you with advertising about products and services that may be tailored to your interests. This section of our MUFG Privacy Statement provides details and explains how to exercise certain choices.

You may see our ads on other websites because we use third-party ad services.

These services track your online activities over time and across multiple websites and apps by collecting information through automated means, including through the use of cookies, web server logs, web beacons and other similar technologies. The ad services use this information to show you ads that may be tailored to your individual interests. The information that ad services may collect includes data about your visits to websites that serve MUFG advertisements, such as the pages or ads you view and the actions you take on the websites or apps. This data collection takes place both on our Digital Properties and on third-party websites and apps that participate in these ad services. This process also helps us track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.

The Digital Properties are not designed to respond to “do not track” signals from browsers.
