Overview
This Privacy Policy covers the collection, use, sharing,
storage, safeguarding and disposal of personal information of members of the Futuretrust
college savings program by and on behalf of Mothers Work, Inc. (doing business as
Futuretrust) and those persons to whom it delegates the administration of the
program from time to time. To administer the program, Futuretrust will collect,
use and share certain personal information of program members. By participating in
the program, members expressly consent to this Privacy Policy.
Each Futuretrust member may or may not be a Barclays Bank
cardholder. Futuretrust and Barclays Bank maintain separate and distinct databases,
with separate and distinct privacy policies, of Futuretrust program member
information and Barclays Bank cardholder information. This Privacy Policy relates to
Futuretrust program member information. Barclays Bank maintains a separate
privacy policy for cardholder information, which may be viewed at
www.juniper.com/app/ccsite/legal/privacyPopUp.jsp.
Futuretrust
reserves the right to
update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will only be effective
prospectively, and we will alert all existing program members, and provide them with
notice of the options available to them, before we implement any changes.
Information Collection
Futuretrust
collects information regarding program members in a variety of
ways from a variety of sources. Futuretrust initially collects information
from Barclays Bank when each cardholder account is opened to let us know that the
cardholder has joined the program. We also collect information on the transactions
Barclays Bank cardholders make with their Futuretrust credit cards and online
through the www.Futuretrust.com web site.
This information enables us to track the benefits to which members are entitled under
the program, including amounts to be contributed to their 529 plans.
We will also afford members an opportunity to provide us with specific additional
information when they enroll on the Futuretrust web site and complete their
profile. This information helps us better serve members and includes their preferences
and choices on various options, such as choice of a 529 plan provider and whether they
want to receive optional offers from partner vendors.
We work with each members' 529 plan provider, as well as
Barclays Bank, to automatically deposit their earned contributions into their 529
account, and we therefore collect the account information necessary to allow us to
make these deposits on behalf of members.
Futuretrust
also collects and uses information by installing small computer
files (known as cookies) on the hard drive of each computer used to visit
www.Futuretrust.com. Cookies are an
important element of your experience on our web site. They allow us to welcome you
each time you visit and customize our information to your past web site experiences.
Cookies also help us detect and stop fraud. Some computer browsers permit you to
disable or uninstall cookies, and you may do so by following the instructions provided
by your hardware and software vendors. However, disabling or uninstalling these
cookies will adversely impact the user experience on the Futuretrust web site
and may prevent you from accessing and using certain features of the web site.
Futuretrust
and other affiliates of Mothers Work, Inc. feature an extensive
online shopping area. In order to offer you special 529 earnings through your purchases
on program partners' web sites, Futuretrust uses certain pixel .gif or other files to
track your movement from our site to partners' web sites. These web navigation trackers allow
us to track your online purchases back to your Futuretrust account. The trackers are
necessary to offer you these online shopping benefits. The tracking mechanism is based on a
number assigned to you by Futuretrust This number is intended to allow us to track
your online purchases without sharing your personal information with our online partners.
If you wish not to be tracked in this manner, then we recommend that you do not use our
online shopping mall.
Information Use
Futuretrust
uses each member's personal information to administer the
Futuretrust program and may also use such information to make the member aware
of special offers and incentives that may be available from time to time. Among other
uses, Futuretrust uses the information to identify an individual as a program
member, to track and verify the contributions earned by the member through the use of
his or her Barclays Bank credit card, to track and verify the contributions earned by
the member through qualifying purchases from Futuretrust partners, to verify
receipt of those amounts from Barclays Bank and/or other program partners, to pay those
amounts into the member's designated 529 plan account, and to report these transactions
to the member.
Information Sharing
Futuretrust
may share a member's personal information with entities with
whom it contracts to assist in administering the program from time to time. Currently,
Futuretrust
has contracted with SHCDirect, L.L.C. and Mall Networks for this purpose.
Additional parties also administer aspects of the program, including (i) AXA Advisors,
LLC, A.P. Lubrano & Company, Inc. and (ii) Teachers Insurance and Annuity
Association of America. The services that they provide may include providing you
advisory services in the choice of a 529 plan.
We may also share a member's personal information with
business partners to offer you goods, services and other incentives relating to the
program. Among other partners,
Futuretrust
has entered into separate arrangements with (i) AXA
Advisors, LLC, A.P. Lubrano & Company, Inc. and (ii) Teachers Insurance and
Annuity Association of America under which they will be provided with contact and
other information on members who have not opted out to enable them to offer certain
benefits or offers, which may include insurance and securities. In setting up and
updating your member profile, we offer you the opportunity to opt out of receiving
such offers. Opting out of receiving such offers does not opt you out of the
administrative services that may be provided to you in connection with the program.
As a participant in Futuretrust, you may or may not be a
Barclays Bank cardholder. From time to time, Futuretrust and Barclays Bank may
share and/or compare certain information in the Futuretrust member database
and the Barclays Bank cardholder database to ensure accuracy and completeness in their
respective databases and to assist each other in administering program accounts and
cardholder accounts. Barclays Bank maintains a separate privacy policy for cardholder
information at www.juniper.com/app/ccsite/legal/privacyPopUp.jsp.
Information Security
Futuretrust
restricts access to member information to those who need to
know that information to accomplish the purposes for which it is collected, used and
shared.
Futuretrust
will keep your member information as long as we believe we may
need it, including storage for auditing and archival purposes. When we believe we
no longer need such information, we will destroy or otherwise dispose of it in a
manner intended to preserve your privacy and security. We endeavor to use best
industry practices in the storage and destruction of your personal information to
protect its security and integrity. If we discover that the security or integrity of
your personal information has been compromised, then we will take appropriate steps
to respond to the incident including, if appropriate, notifying you of the incident
so you can in turn take whatever steps may be appropriate to protect yourself.

FUTURETRUST WITH BUSINESS PARTNERS AND THIRD PARTIES FOR NON-PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION,
