How do we protect your information?


We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you enter, submit, or access your personal information.


We offer the use of a secure server. All supplied sensitive/credit information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our Database to be only accessed by those authorized with special access rights to our systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. All emailed sensitive personal information to our lending partners is password protected.


After a transaction, your private information (credit cards, social security numbers, financials, etc.) will be kept on file for more than 60 days in order to abide to state, provincial, and federal laws, as well as for our mutual protection.


Do we use cookies?


Yes, we use cookies. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser (if you allow) that enables the sites or service providers systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information.


We use cookies to compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.


Do we disclose any information to outside parties?


We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information without your consent.


This does not include our third party lenders and trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.


We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others rights, property, or safety.
