How we share it
We share loan request information with participating lenders, lending partners, and service providers who help us operate. Lenders may obtain your consumer report from credit bureaus.

State privacy rights
Residents of California and other states with consumer privacy laws may have additional rights, such as knowing what personal information we collect and requesting deletion. Some financial information is governed by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act instead. Contact us to exercise your rights; we won't discriminate against you for doing so.
Security
We use HTTPS encryption and reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. No method of transmission is completely secure.

If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a request to opt out of sale or sharing for that browser.
Information covered by other laws
Some financial information is governed by federal law, such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, rather than state privacy laws. Lenders you're matched with handle requests about information they hold under their own privacy policies.
