Google Analytics Advertising Information
To enable us to understand who uses this website, we may have implemented the following Google Analytics Advertising Features:
- Remarketing with Google Analytics
- Google Display Network Impression Reporting
- Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting
We use Google’s remarketing service to advertise to previous visitors to our site on third-party websites across the Internet, including Google. This advertising could be in the form of an advertisement on a site in the Google Display Network that you view on your desktop, tablet, or mobile device, or an advertisement on the Google search results page. These third parties, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your past visits to our website.
We will not identify users or facilitate the merging of personally identifiable information with non-personally identifiable information collected through any Google advertising product or feature unless we have robust notice of, and the user’s prior affirmative (i.e., opt-in) consent to, that identification or merger. Irrespective of users’ consent, we will not attempt to disaggregate data that Google reports in aggregate.
Visitors can opt out of the Google Analytics Advertising Features through Ads Settings, Ad Settings for mobile apps, or any other available means (like the NAI’s consumer opt-out). You may also take advantage of Google Analytics’ currently available opt-out browser add-ons for the web at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.
Your California Privacy Rights
(As provided by California Civil Code Section 1798.83)
A California resident who has provided personal information to a business with whom he/she has established a business relationship for personal, family or household purposes (“California Customer”) is entitled to request information about whether the business has disclosed personal information to any third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. In general, if the business has made such a disclosure of personal information, upon receipt of a request by a California Customer, the business is required to provide a list of all third parties to whom personal information was disclosed in the preceding calendar year, as well as a list of the categories of personal information that were disclosed.
However, under the law, a business is not required to provide the above-described lists if the business adopts and discloses to the public (in its privacy policy) a policy of not disclosing customer’s personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes unless the customer first affirmatively agrees to the disclosure, as long as the business maintains and discloses this policy. Rather, the business may comply with the law by notifying the customer of his or her right to prevent disclosure of personal information and providing a cost-free means to exercise that right.
California Customers may request further information about our compliance with this law by e-mailing compliance@newfi.com. Please note that we are only required to respond to one request per customer each year, and we are not required to respond to requests made by means other than through this email address.

Nexera will not disclose information about your creditworthiness to our affiliates and will not disclose your personal information, financial information, credit report, or health information to nonaffiliated third parties to market to you, other than as permitted by Vermont law, unless you authorize us to make those disclosures.
