About Our Service

A lender or lending partner may review your information and decide whether to offer a loan. Approval is not guaranteed. Loan availability, amounts, rates, fees, repayment terms, credit requirements, and funding times vary by lender, state, and individual circumstances.

Lenders and Lending Partners
We may transmit information submitted through a loan request to lenders or lending partners in a network so they can review the request and decide whether to offer a loan. These third parties may have their own eligibility requirements, credit review procedures, information practices, and privacy policies.
Lending Networks and Intermediaries
Information may be disclosed to networks, marketplaces, aggregators, or other intermediaries involved in routing, processing, or transmitting a loan request and providing access to potential lenders or lending partners.
Service Providers
We may disclose information to vendors and service providers that support functions such as Website hosting, data storage, communications, analytics, security, fraud prevention, consent management, customer support, and other operational activities.
Analytics and Advertising Providers
Subject to applicable law and the technologies actually used on the Website, limited technical, usage, or identifier information may be disclosed to analytics or advertising providers for measurement, attribution, audience management, Website improvement, or marketing purposes.
Legal and Compliance Purposes
We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, legal process, court orders, regulatory requirements, or lawful government requests.

Business Transactions
Information may be transferred or disclosed in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, subject to applicable law.
Sale or Sharing Under State Privacy Laws
Certain disclosures of personal information to third parties may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” “targeted advertising,” or similar regulated activity under some U.S. state privacy laws, depending on the applicable law and circumstances.
Where required by applicable law, eligible consumers may have the right to opt out of certain covered future disclosures or processing activities. Privacy requests may be submitted by contacting us at [email protected].
Sensitive Personal Information
Where sensitive personal information is requested and collected, we may use or disclose it as reasonably necessary to process a requested service, transmit a loan request, verify identity, maintain security, prevent fraud, comply with legal obligations, or support other purposes permitted by applicable law.
We do not guarantee that every loan request process requires the same information. Information requirements may vary depending on the service flow, lender, lending partner, network, and individual circumstances.
Credit Checks and Additional Verification
We do not make credit decisions. A lender or lending partner may verify your information, obtain information from consumer reporting agencies, perform a credit check, or request additional information or documentation where permitted by law and consistent with its own policies. Requirements vary by lender and individual circumstances.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Website, maintain sessions, remember preferences, support security and fraud prevention, understand Website traffic, measure performance, and evaluate marketing effectiveness.
Some cookies or similar technologies may be provided by third-party service providers. Most browsers allow users to manage, block, or delete cookies through browser settings. Restricting certain cookies may affect Website functionality or user experience.
Marketing Communications
Where permitted by law and consistent with applicable consent requirements, we or relevant third parties may provide communications regarding products or services. You may follow the opt-out or unsubscribe instructions included in applicable communications or contact us at [email protected] regarding your preferences.
An opt-out from marketing communications does not necessarily prevent administrative, security, legal, transactional, or request-related communications where such communications are permitted or required.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. Access to information may be restricted based on operational need.
However, no method of Internet transmission, electronic storage, or security protection can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of information.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including processing requests, maintaining records, supporting security and fraud prevention, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and meeting legal or compliance obligations.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the purpose for which it was collected, operational requirements, contractual obligations, and applicable law.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your state of residence and subject to applicable law, verification requirements, and exceptions, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. These rights may include the right to:
- Request access to certain personal information;
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information;
- Request deletion of certain personal information;

- Opt out of certain sales, sharing, targeted advertising, or profiling activities where applicable;
- Limit certain uses or disclosures of sensitive personal information where applicable;
- Appeal certain decisions concerning a privacy request where applicable; and

How to Submit a Privacy Request
To submit an applicable privacy request concerning access, correction, deletion, or another privacy right, contact us at [email protected].
Please describe the nature of your request and provide information reasonably necessary to identify the relevant records. We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before processing a request. Verification procedures may vary depending on the nature and sensitivity of the requested information.
Where permitted by applicable law, an authorized agent may submit a request on behalf of a consumer, subject to reasonable verification and authorization requirements.
Third-Party Privacy Practices
The Website may interact with third-party services, including services operated by lenders, lending partners, networks, intermediaries, analytics providers, advertising providers, and other vendors. Once information is transmitted to or independently collected by a third party, that party’s own privacy practices may apply.
We are not a lender and are not responsible for the actions or inactions of any lender or lending partner. We do not control the independent privacy, security, credit review, underwriting, data retention, or information processing practices of third parties.
Do Not Track and Privacy Signals
Some browsers and devices provide “Do Not Track” settings or other privacy preference signals. Because legal and technical standards concerning these signals may vary, our response depends on applicable law, the signal involved, and the technologies used on the Website.
Where applicable law requires recognition of a valid browser-based opt-out preference signal, we may process that signal as required by law.
Children’s Privacy
The Website and its services are intended for adults who are at least 18 years old. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through a loan request. If you believe that a person under 18 has provided personal information to us, please contact us at [email protected].
Financial Privacy and Other Applicable Laws
Certain information associated with a consumer financial product or service may be subject to federal or state financial privacy laws to the extent those laws apply to the relevant entity, information, and processing activity. Where a specific law governs particular information or processing, that law may affect the rights, notices, exceptions, and procedures applicable to that information.
