myVoya

When you register for the myVoya portion of the Voya Site, you are voluntarily electing to receive services from Voya that will assist you with planning for retirement and other life goals (the “myVoya Services”). You agree that the myVoya Services are separate and apart from any other services that the Voya companies offering financial products and services may provide to you or your employer, including any services you may receive as a participant in a retirement plan. If you are a participant in a retirement plan and your employer has elected to make available the myVoya Services, then the myVoya Services will be included with the other services you receive as a participant in a retirement plan and a separate registration is not required. By registering for myVoya or otherwise utilizing the myVoya Services, you authorize Voya to use and disclose your account data for the purposes of authenticating your identity and providing the myVoya Services. You also authorize Voya to use the information you provide within myVoya for associated email communications regarding the myVoya experience. If you opt-in to our marketing communications, you authorize Voya to use the information you provide to deliver relevant content and offers via email.

As part of myVoya Services, Voya may provide access to, or certain information regarding, accounts you hold with any of the Voya family of companies and with Pershing, LLC, as account custodian for certain accounts you may hold with Voya Financial Advisors, Inc. The myVoya Services make this account information available to you as a courtesy, and Voya is not responsible for the accuracy of the information displayed. Please refer to the corresponding account statement from your account custodian for information relating to your account, including account balance, asset holdings and positions.

Voya may also provide optional linking or account aggregation functionality that allows you to view, in a single location on the myVoya site or by linking from the myVoya site, consolidated financial information from such accounts that you maintain at various third-party financial institutions that you may designate.

To use the account aggregate function, you understand and agree that:

  • The function is not available for all types of accounts and/or for all financial institutions.
  • Financial institutions may change their websites from time to time and as a result an outside account that was available may cease to be available through myVoya. Neither Voya nor its technology vendors have any control over this situation and have no obligation to restore the availability of an outside account on the myVoya site.
  • You are responsible for designating the outside accounts information which you desire to aggregate.
  • For each available outside account that you desire to aggregate on the myVoya site, you must provide the necessary login credentials to access the outside account such as username and password. You will provide this information through such function and process as our technology vendors may determine from time to time.
  • The account aggregation function will access the website maintained by each third-party financial institution for each outside account designated for aggregation in order to retrieve and store the account information within the outside account. This third-party account access may cause a Voya verification code to be sent to your mobile phone or email address.
  • You grant Voya and its technology vendors authority, with respect to each outside account designated for aggregation, to (1) use the login credentials for such outside account in order to access the account information within such outside account; (2) retrieve the account information within the outside account; and (3) store the account information so retrieved and display such information to you.
  • For each outside account designated for aggregation, you represent and warrant that (1) you are the legal owner of the account; (2) you have the right to disclose your login credentials for such outside account; and (3) you have the right to grant the foregoing authorization.
  • Neither Voya nor its technology vendors are responsible for any acts, errors, or omissions by the financial institutions at which you maintain an outside account, or for the accuracy of the information provided by such institutions.
  • Voya may terminate your access to account information at the Voya family of companies and Pershing, LLC and the account aggregation function at any time without notice.

Privacy

We are committed to protecting your privacy and the confidentiality of your personal information. Review the Voya Privacy Notices.

  • If you reside in a state such as California that has adopted a comprehensive consumer privacy law, review our Supplemental State-Specific Privacy Notice for detailed information about the categories of personal information we collect and share, your individual rights as a consumer, and how you can contact Voya to exercise your rights. Voya does not sell personal information.

  • Technical and navigational information.

    When you visit and navigate the Voya Site and when you communicate with us via the Voya Site, Voya and third parties with whom we have contracted may collect technical and navigational information (such as a catalog of the site pages you visit) and online identifiers from cookies, referrers, IP addresses, environmental variables, pixel tags, and similar technologies. We also collect information you voluntarily provide, as further described below. If you use the myVoya Services, please see the specific myVoya terms for additional privacy considerations. Currently, the Voya Site does not support the necessary technology to respond to web browser “do not track” signals or other, comparable mechanisms.

    Cookies.
    • Voya and our service providers may use encrypted or non-encrypted cookies in connection with the Voya Sites. Cookies are pieces of information that a website places in a file on your computer associated with your browser that may be used to deliver content specific to your interests and for other purposes, such as security, optimization testing of digital pages, and other account administrative functions. A persistent cookie remains stored even after the internet browser has been closed, and can be used by your internet browser on subsequent visits to our website. This information is processed passively by your browser as you surf through the Voya Sites. We also use third-party cookies in connection with the services provided through our website. Cookies do not cause damage to your computer systems or files. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to automatically decline cookies, or to be given the choice of declining or accepting the transfer of a particular cookie, or cookies from a particular website, to your computer. For example, cookies allow you to easily log into the Voya Sites by remembering your email address. Please note, the disabling of cookies may have an adverse effect on your website experience and could result in an unintended loss of functionality. To learn more about this technology, or to opt out of the ad serving cookie, please visit Networkadvertising.org (opens new window).
    • In addition, we use Google Analytics software to collect information about how you use the Voya Sites. We do this to help make sure the Voya Sites are meeting the needs of our users and to help us make improvements. Google Analytics stores information about the pages you visit on the Voya Sites, how long you spend on each page, how you got to the Voya Site, and what you click on while you are visiting the Voya Sites. To the extent any of the information collected by Google Analytics constitutes your personal information, this information will be used and disclosed in accordance with the applicable Voya Privacy Notice and (as applicable) the Supplemental State-Specific Privacy Notice. We do not allow Google to use or share our analytics data. You can opt out of Google Analytics cookies (opens new window).
    • We have also implemented reCAPTCHA on certain Voya Sites. reCAPTCHA works by collecting hardware and software information, such as device and application data and the results of integrity checks, and sending that data to Google for analysis. Your use of the reCAPTCHA is subject to the Google Privacy Policy (opens new window) and Google Terms of Use (opens new window).
    • For certain Voya Sites, we use cookies and collect information in order to provide you with customized advertising, marketing content and information as well as track your entries and the status of promotions or other activities and services offered via our website. Tracking technologies also help us to maintain and improve the usability of the website (1) by determining whether there has been any contact between your computer and us in the past, and (2) by identifying the most popular areas of our website.
    • Referrers, IP addresses, and environmental variables.

      Voya and our service providers may also collect “referrers” information, IP addresses, and various environmental variables.

      • A “referrer” is information the web browser passes along to our web servers that references the URL from which you came.
      • “IP address” is a number used by computers on the network to identify your computer so that data can be transmitted to you.
      • “Environmental variables” include, among other things, the domain from which you access the Internet, the time you accessed the Voya Site, type of Web browser and operating system or platform used, the Internet address of the website you left to visit the Voya Site, the names of the pages you visit while at the Voya Sites, and the Internet address of the website you then visit.
    • Pixel Tags.

      Voya and our service providers may also use so-called “pixel tags,” “web beacons,” “clear GIFs” or similar means (collectively, “Pixel Tags”) in connection with some website pages and HTML-formatted email messages to, among other things, compile aggregate statistics about site usage, response rates and the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. A Pixel Tag is an electronic image, often a single pixel (1x1), that is ordinarily not visible to site visitors and may be associated with cookies on the visitors’ hard drives. Pixel Tags allow us to count users who have visited certain pages of the Voya Sites, to deliver branded services, and to help determine the effectiveness of promotional or advertising campaigns. When used in HTML-formatted email messages, Pixel Tags can tell the sender whether and when the email has been opened.

    • Use of Social Media plugins.

      Our Site uses the following Social Media Plugins (“Plugins”)

      Facebook Share Button operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA

      Tweet Button operated by Twitter Inc., 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA

      LinkedIn Share Button operated by LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA

      YouTube is operated by YouTube LLC, headquartered at 901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

      YouTube is represented by Google Inc., based in 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

      Soundcloud is operated by SoundCloud Limited, headquartered at 33 St James Square, London SW1Y 4JS, UK.

      All plug-ins are labelled with the brand of the respective operator (the “operators”): Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube and Soundcloud.

      When you visit the web page that contains a social network plug-in (e.g. social sharing), your browser creates a direct connection to the operator’s servers. The operator submits the content of the plug-in directly to your browser, which embeds it in the web page, thereby enabling the operator to obtain the information that you have accessed the corresponding sub-page of our website. We have no control over the data collected by the plug-in and we inform you to the best of our knowledge that: The embedded plug-ins inform the operator that you have accessed the corresponding sub-page of our website. If you do not want this information to be transmitted to the operators, you must log out of your respective account with them before visiting our website.

      For more information on the purpose and scope of collection, processing and use of data, please refer to the data protection policies of these operators:

  • Non-Personally Identifiable Information You Voluntarily Provide.

    When you visit the Voya Sites we may collect demographic data, such as your date of birth, gender, ZIP code, and other information that by itself does not constitute personal information. We may use such information for any purpose, including without limitation to enhance website security, detect broad demographic trends, provide content tailored to your interests, and otherwise enhance your experience on the Voya Sites. This information may also be shared with third parties on an aggregate basis.

  • Personal Information.

    Depending upon which Voya Sites you visit and which online services you use, the types of personal information we may collect from you could include your name, email address, mailing address, telephone number(s), account number(s), user name and password.

We may also collect information about you from additional online and offline sources, including commercially available third-party sources such as credit reporting agencies. We may combine this information with the personal information we have collected from you under these terms. Additionally, we may aggregate personal information in a manner such that the end-product does not personally identify you, for example, by using personal information to display content according to your ZIP code. All personal information collected through the Voya Sites will be used and disclosed in accordance with the applicable Voya Privacy Notice and (as applicable) the Supplemental State-Specific Privacy Notice.

For certain types of communications through the Voya Sites, or for access to certain portions of the Voya Sites, we may require the use of encryption technologies provided for your protection and/or require you to authenticate using user identification information (“UserID”), PIN/password and/or a form of multi-factor authentication.

While Voya may use reasonable precautions to protect confidential information and provide suitable security, we cannot guarantee that information transmitted through the Internet is secure, or that such transmissions will be free from delay, interruption, interception or error. Please be aware that although passwords or other security protections may be in use, Voya reserves the right to monitor any and all transmissions, stored messages and routine backup copies of communications to ensure appropriate system usage.

If the Voya Sites permit you to access your account or conduct certain transactions (such as opening accounts, managing contributions and investment allocations, requesting loans or partial withdrawals, and updating personal information), you can only utilize those services by following the instructions stated within the appropriate password protected log-on section of the Voya Site. When using the Voya Sites to execute transactions, problems may occur that are beyond Voya’s ability to correct. Access to the Voya Sites may be limited or unavailable during periods of peak demand, systems upgrading, maintenance or other reasons. If you are not able to complete your transaction due to a system failure, fail to receive written confirmation of a transaction or its execution within ten (10) business days after execution, or receive confirmation of a transaction you did not request, you must contact the appropriate Voya company immediately. Voya will not assume responsibility for such system failures and errors. We are unable to execute transactions or provide personal account information via email, text, SMS, social media or similar online or electronic communications.

Governing law/Miscellaneous

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions, and shall inure to the benefit of Voya’s successors and assigns, whether by merger, consolidation, or otherwise. If you take legal action relating to these Terms or your use of the Voya Sites, you agree to file such action only in New York and you consent to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of New York for the purposes of pursuing any such action. Any cause of action you may have arising out of or related to your use of the Voya Sites must be commenced within one (1) year after the cause of action arises. Voya reserves the right to seek all remedies available at law and equity for violations of these Terms, as well as the right to restrict access to the Voya Sites or any portion of it. Voya does not represent that the information in the Voya Sites is appropriate or available for use in other locations, and access from certain locations may be strictly prohibited. Those who access the Voya Sites do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with all applicable local laws. These Terms represent the entire agreement between Voya and you relating to the subject matter herein. If any provision of these terms is deemed unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severed from these terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.

Children

The Voya Sites are not intended to market any products or services to children under thirteen (13) years of age. We do not knowingly gather or solicit data from children under thirteen (13) years of age through the Voya Sites for marketing or other purposes. By using the Voya Sites, you represent that you are not under thirteen (13) years of age.

U.S. export controls

Software is subject to United States export controls. No software may be downloaded or otherwise exported or re-exported (i) into (or to a national resident of) Cuba, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Iran, Syria, or any other country to which the United States has embargoed goods, or (ii) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Commerce Department Table of Deny Orders. You represent and warrant that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national resident of any such country or on any such list. You agree to comply with United States export control laws and that you will not transfer any software or other content from the Voya Sites in violation of United States export controls.

Forward-looking statements

Certain statements contained herein are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include statements relating to future developments in our business or expectations for Voya’s future financial performance and any statement not involving a historical fact. Forward-looking statements use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with a discussion of future operating or financial performance or other events. Such statements are based on management’s views and assumptions at the time such statements were originally made and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Because the Voya Sites include historical documents, any such statements may not reflect Voya’s current views, assumptions, or expectations. Actual results, performance or events may differ materially from those in any such statements due to, among other factors, (i) general economic conditions, including in particular economic conditions in Voya’s core markets, (ii) performance of financial markets, including emerging markets, (iii) the frequency and severity of insured loss events, (iv) mortality and morbidity levels and trends, (v) persistency and lapse levels, (vi) interest rates, (vii) currency exchange rates, (viii) general competitive factors, (ix) changes in laws and regulations, and (x) changes in the policies of governments and/or regulatory authorities. Factors that may cause actual results to differ from those in any forward-looking statement also include those described in Voya’s periodic and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Voya does not undertake any obligation to correct or update any forward-looking statements on the Voya Sites.
