What types of personal information does Site Sponsor collect on this Site?

“Personal information” is data that can be used to uniquely identify or contact a single person. Personal information we collect may include your name, mailing address, phone number and e-mail address. If you create an account with us using our website, we may also collect information, including, but not limited to, your loan number and the last 4 digits of your social security number so that you can view, among other things, your last payment date and amount, remaining loan balance and upcoming payment amount and date. We collect personal information from our users at several different points on our Site. We will not sell, share, or otherwise distribute your personal information to third parties, unless clearly disclosed within this Privacy Policy and our Privacy Notice. When we need to collect personal information from you to provide you with a particular service, we will ask you to voluntarily supply us with the information that we need. For example, if you are interested in getting more information about a loan with us, we will ask you to provide contact information and other information needed to answer your questions or allow us to reach out to you. We would use your telephone number to contact you to provide information to allow you to determine if one of our loans is right for you.

What about Cookies and Web Beacons?

Whenever you visit or interact with the Site, we, as well as our service providers, may use assorted technologies that automatically or passively collect information about how the Site is accessed and used. We refer to this information as traffic data. Traffic data may include browser type, device type used to access the Site (i.e., computer or mobile device), unique number assigned to identify such device, operating system, application version, click path taken through the Site, your use of features or applications on the Site, and other publicly available information. This information helps us improve the Site, products and services. Traffic data is generally non-identifying, but if we associate it with you as an identifiable person, we will treat it as personal information.

Technologies we use on the Site to collect traffic data may include cookies (data files placed on your computer or other devices used to access the Site), mobile analytics software and pixel tags (transparent graphic image, sometimes called a web beacon or tracking beacon, placed on a web page or in an e-mail, which indicates that a page or e-mail has been viewed). We may utilize a short-lived form of cookie when you visit the Site. A cookie is used to identify one unique visitor from another visitor during a particular session. A session is the period of active Site-use while that unique visitor is linked to our server. We may use cookie technology during a session as a tool to carry forward your input information. This enables the visitor to input their information once and have the information appear later. No personal information is stored on the cookie. A pixel tag may tell your browser to get content from another server. We, or our vendors, may place cookies or similar files on your computer or other devices used to access the Site for security purposes, to facilitate Site navigation and to personalize your experience while visiting the Site.

To learn how you may be able to reduce the number of cookies you receive from us, or delete cookies that have already been installed in your browser’s cookie folder, please refer to your browser’s help menu or other instructions related to your browser. If you do disable or opt out of receiving cookies, please be aware that some features and services on the Site may not work as intended and you may not have access to all of the services and features we may offer.

In cases where you may enter the Site from a third party site, such as a search engine or referral site, those sites may use Cookies and/or Web Beacons to monitor their own performance, traffic, etc. You must consult the privacy policy of each site, particularly at any sites provided by third parties, in order to determine what information about you is collected and how that information is used.

Am I protected when linking to other sites?

This Site may, from time to time, contain links to other thirty-party Internet websites, banner ads or advertisements for the convenience of users in locating information and services that may be of interest. If you use those linked Internet websites or advertisements, you may leave this Site and go to websites that we do not control. If you decide to visit those Internet sites or advertisers, you do so at your own risk and it is your responsibility to read and comply with the privacy statement on those websites. Your right to privacy on linked sites is limited to whatever rights are provided to you by the owner of the linked site.

This Privacy Policy is for customers and visitors, and only applies to the Site. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any linked site or any site provided by a third party. You must consult the privacy policy of such sites, in order to determine what information about you is collected and how that information is used. We are not responsible for the data collection and use practices and privacy policy of or the use of cookies on third party websites that you may access from our website.

Online Tracking.

Unless your browser settings are configured to make your online activities and publicly available information about your online activities (such as traffic data as described above) invisible to usage analytics tools, we do not presently have the capability to omit you from usage analytics to the extent your browser only sends us Do Not Track (DNT) signals. However, some third party sites do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve your content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you. If you are visiting such sites, most popular browsers (Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome, etc) allow you to set the DNT signal on your browser so that third parties (particularly advertisers) know you do not want to be tracked. You should consult each sites privacy policy to determine how that site’s operator responds to DNT signals.

Site Sponsor does not track its customers over time and across third party websites in order to provide targeted advertising. Third parties that have content embedded on Site Sponsor’s Site may set cookies on a user’s browser and/or obtain information about the fact that a web browser visited a specific Site Sponsor website from a certain IP address. Third parties, other than our vendors (such as our website analytics provider), do not have authorization from us to track which websites you visited prior to and after visiting the Site.

Do we collect information about children?

We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or use personal information from our Site about children under the age 18. We request that persons under the age of 18 years old or unable to form legally binding contracts not use our Site without supervision from a responsible adult. If a child whom we know to be under the age of 18 sends personal information to us online, we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible and only use that information to respond directly to that child, notify parents, or seek parental consent.

Where is the Site operated from?

We are headquartered in the United States. Personal information may be accessed by us or transferred to us in the United States or to our affiliates, business partners, or service providers elsewhere in the world. If you are located outside of the United States, be advised that any information you provide to us will be transferred to and stored in the United States and that, by submitting information to us, you explicitly authorize its transfer and storage within the United States. We will protect the privacy and security of personal information according to this Privacy Policy regardless of where it is processed or stored.
