Consent
We collect, use, and disclose your personal information with your consent. You provide that consent when you submit an application and when you sign your loan agreement. You may withdraw consent at any time, subject to legal and contractual restrictions and reasonable notice.
Disclosure to third parties
We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with service providers who help us operate — for example, payment processors, identity verification providers, and IT service providers — and with regulators or law enforcement where we are required to do so by law.
Retention
We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purposes described above, or as long as we are required to retain it by law. When it is no longer needed, we securely destroy or anonymize it.

You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, to ask that it be corrected if it is inaccurate, and to ask questions about how it is handled. To make a request, reply to the email confirmation we sent with your application.
