We may also disclose information when required by law, legal process, or governmental request, or when reasonably necessary to protect our rights, users, business, or services.

SMS and Mobile Information
We do not sell, share, or transfer SMS opt-in data or consent to any third party, including lenders and funding partners, for any purpose.

If you choose to proceed with a funding offer, your mobile number may be provided to the applicable funding provider solely as necessary to process, complete, and service the funding transaction, including communications related to verification, required documentation, contract delivery, electronic signatures, and other transaction-related matters.

Providing your mobile number to a funding provider for these purposes does not transfer your SMS opt-in consent and does not authorize the funding provider to send you marketing or promotional text messages.

9. Your Choices

You may contact us regarding questions about information you have provided or to request that we update or correct certain information. Some information may need to be retained for legal, regulatory, fraud-prevention, or legitimate business purposes.
