4. Legal Basis for Processing (California and Other Jurisdictions)

For individuals in California and other jurisdictions with applicable privacy laws, our legal bases for processing personal information include: performance of a contract (processing your inquiry and administering any resulting loan arrangement), compliance with legal obligations (regulatory and AML compliance), legitimate business interests (improving our services, protecting our legal rights), and consent (for marketing communications and optional data uses).

California residents have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to delete personal information (subject to exceptions), the right to correct inaccurate information, the right to opt out of the sale of personal information (we do not sell personal information), and the right to non-discrimination for exercising privacy rights. To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information in Section 11.

5. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers: Title search companies, storage and custody facilities, legal counsel, compliance consultants, and technology service providers who assist in our operations, subject to confidentiality obligations and data protection agreements
• Capital providers and partners: When your inquiry involves capital sourced from or co-arranged with affiliated capital providers or network partners, information necessary to evaluate and structure the arrangement may be shared with those parties, subject to confidentiality obligations
• Regulatory and legal compliance: To comply with applicable laws, regulations, or legal process, including responses to lawful requests by government authorities, court orders, or regulatory inquiries
• Business transfers: In connection with any merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, in which case your information may be transferred as part of that transaction
• Protection of rights: When we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or enforce our legal agreements

We require all third parties who receive personal information to maintain appropriate data security standards and to use the information only as specified in their service agreements with us.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting requirements. For inquiries that do not result in a lending arrangement, we typically retain information for a period of three years following the inquiry, which accommodates our regulatory compliance obligations. For completed lending arrangements, we retain records for a minimum of seven years following the conclusion of the arrangement, consistent with applicable financial regulatory requirements.

When information is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and no legal retention requirement applies, we take commercially reasonable steps to securely destroy or anonymize the information.

7. Security of Your Information

We implement commercially reasonable technical, administrative, and physical security measures designed to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS), access controls limiting information access to personnel with a need to know, secure document storage, and regular security reviews of our systems and practices.

However, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent all unauthorized access to personal information. If you believe your information has been compromised in connection with your interactions with us, please contact us immediately using the information in Section 11.
