4. Third-Party Services
Third-Party Processors
We use financial information to process your transaction, to improve and expand our service, and to determine your financial health. If you register as a borrower, we will use financial information about you to facilitate your loan request and service your loan. We use this information to process your loan application or transaction and enable payments and fund transfers with financial institutions. If you consent to have Company request your financial information directly from your financial institution, we may work with a third party to access and collect such information on our behalf.
Software
Our Sites may use the Google Maps API, Google Places API Google Geocoding API, Google Geolocation API, Google Street View Static API, Google Maps Elevation API, and/or other Google offerings. Google's Privacy Policy and Policies for Geocoding API are incorporated herein by reference.
5. Universal Opt-Out Mechanisms
The Sites recognize the Global Privacy Control ("GPC") signal. If you are using a browser setting or plug-in that sends an opt-out preference signal to each website you visit, we will treat that as a valid request to opt out. To download and use a browser supporting the GPC browser signal, click here: https://globalprivacycontrol.org/orgs. If you choose to use the GPC signal, you will need to turn it on for each supported browser or browser extension you use.
Some internet browsers incorporate a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Given that there is not a uniform way that browsers communicate the "Do Not Track" signal, the Sites do not currently interpret, respond to, or alter their practices when they receive "Do Not Track" signals.
6. Security
We maintain commercially reasonable security measures to protect the personal data we collect and store from loss, misuse, destruction, or unauthorized access. However, no security measure or modality of data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. Although we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Data Retention
We retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collect it, such as to provide you with the service you have requested, and for the purpose of satisfying any legal, accounting, contractual, or reporting requirements that apply to us.
8. Third-Party Links
The Sites may contain links that will let you leave the Sites and access another website. Linked websites are not under our control. We accept no responsibility or liability for these other websites.
9. Children's Privacy
The Sites and Services are not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose personal data from children under 13.
10. Your State Privacy Rights and Additional Disclosures
Depending on the state in which you reside, you may have certain privacy rights regarding your personal data.

We use cookies and other online tracking technologies to display advertisements about our products to you on nonaffiliated websites, applications, and online services. This is "targeted advertising" under applicable privacy laws. When we engage in those activities, we sell personal data (i.e., information from cookies) to third-party advertisers and analytics companies.

11. Notice to California Residents
The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 ("CCPA"), requires that we provide California residents with a privacy policy that contains a comprehensive description of our online and offline practices regarding the collection, use, disclosure, sale, sharing, and retention of personal information and of the rights of California residents regarding their personal information. This section of the Privacy Policy is intended solely for, and is applicable only as to, California residents. If you are not a California resident, this section does not apply to you and you should not rely on it.
The CCPA defines "personal information" to mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular California resident or household. Personal information does not include publicly available, deidentified or aggregated information or lawfully obtained, truthful information that is a matter of public concern. For purposes of this "Notice to California Residents" section, we will refer to this information as "Personal Information."
The CCPA's privacy rights described below do not apply to Personal Information that we collect, process, sell, or disclose subject to the federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and its implementing regulations or the California Financial Information Privacy Act. Because we are subject to those laws and regulations, much of the Personal Information that we collect is exempt from the CCPA. Your choices and rights with respect to our use and sharing of that information are subject to our U.S. Financial Privacy Notice.
The CCPA's privacy rights also do not apply to certain types of Personal Information subject to the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act ("FCRA"). Some of our services are subject to the FCRA and, therefore, exempt from the CCPA on that basis.
If you are a California resident and a current or former employee, job applicant, or independent contractor of ours, please see our California Privacy Policy for Applicants and Employees for more information on our collection and use of your Personal Information in that capacity.

If you are a California resident, you have the following rights with respect to your Personal Information:
- The right to know what Personal Information we have collected about you, including the categories of Personal Information, the categories of sources from which we collected Personal Information, the business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling, or sharing Personal Information (if applicable), the categories of third parties to whom we disclose Personal Information (if applicable), and the specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you;

How to Submit a Request to Know, Delete, and/or Correct
You may submit a request to know, delete, and/or correct through our interactive webform available here or by calling us toll free at (800) 450-2010 Ext. 7100.
As mentioned above, if you are a California resident who has a financial product or service with us, much of the Personal Information that we collect is exempt from the CCPA and, therefore, is not subject to the rights discussed in this "Notice to California Residents" section. Your choices and rights with respect to our use and sharing of that information are subject to our U.S. Financial Privacy Notice.
If you are submitting a request on behalf of a California resident, please submit the request through one of the designated methods discussed above. After submitting the request, and if the request is not subject to an exemption or exception, we will require additional information to verify your authority to act on behalf of the California resident.
Our Process for Verifying a Request to Know, Delete, and/or Correct
If we determine that your request is subject to an exemption or exception, we will notify you of our determination. If we determine that your request is not subject to an exemption or exception, we will comply with your request upon verification of your identity and, to the extent applicable, the identity of the California resident on whose behalf you are making such request.
If you maintain a password-protected account, we may verify your identity through existing authentication practices available through your account. Prior to disclosing or deleting the Personal Information, we may ask you to re-authenticate yourself with respect to that account.
If you do not maintain a password-protected account, or if you are an account-holder but we suspect fraudulent or malicious activity with your account, we will verify your identity either to a "reasonable degree of certainty" or a "reasonably high degree of certainty" depending on the sensitivity of the Personal Information and the risk of harm to you by unauthorized disclosure, deletion, or correction as applicable. To do so, we will ask you to verify data points based on information we have in our records concerning you.
Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing of Personal Information
If you are a California resident, you have the right to direct us to stop selling or sharing your Personal Information.
You may submit a request to opt out of sales or sharing through our interactive webform available here. If you have enabled privacy controls on your browser (such as a plugin), we will also treat that as a valid request to opt out. Please see the "Universal Opt-Out Mechanisms" section above for more information.
Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information
California residents also have the right to limit our use or disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information if we use it for purposes other than those specified in the CCPA and its regulations. As stated above, we do not currently use or disclose Sensitive Personal Information for purposes other than those allowed by the CCPA and its regulations. However, if you are a California resident, you still may submit a request to limit, and we will record your instructions and incorporate them in the future if our policy changes. You may submit requests to limit through our interactive webform here or by calling us toll free at (800) 450-2010 Ext. 7100.
