Privacy Policy

We collect information you provide directly to us and limited technical information generated when you use our website:

• Business information: legal business name, DBA, address, entity type, state of formation, industry, time in business, number of employees, and similar details about your company.
• Owner and contact information: names, titles, ownership percentages, email addresses, phone numbers, and mailing addresses of business owners and contacts you identify.
• Financial information: revenue figures, deposit history, existing debt obligations, requested financing amounts, and other financial details relevant to evaluating a financing request.
• Documents: bank statements, tax returns, financial statements, formation documents, and other materials you upload in connection with an application.
• Technical and usage data: IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, referring pages, and how you interact with our website.

We collect this information in order to:

• Evaluate your business financing request and assess which financing options may fit your situation.
• Match your request with third-party financing providers for their independent consideration.
• Communicate with you about your request, including status updates and requests for additional information or documentation.
• Comply with applicable legal, regulatory, and record-keeping obligations.
• Operate, secure, and improve our website and services.

We use the information described above to review financing requests for completeness, prepare and transmit submissions to financing providers, present any resulting offers to you, respond to your inquiries, and send transactional communications about your application.

We send marketing communications only if you separately opt in. Marketing consent is optional, is never a condition of applying, and can be withdrawn at any time using the unsubscribe mechanism in those communications or by contacting us.

We may also use information to detect and prevent fraud or misuse of our services and to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

• Third-party financing providers: with your authorization, we share application information and supporting documents with the financing providers your request may be matched with. Each provider handles your information under its own privacy policy and practices.
• Service providers: companies that perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, data storage, and email delivery, subject to obligations appropriate to the services they provide.
• As required by law: in response to lawful requests by courts, regulators, or law enforcement, or where disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
