"You" or "your" means you as a participant in or as a user of the Website. "We" or "our" or "us" means Advantage1loans.

You acknowledge that this Privacy Policy is part of our Website Usage Terms and Conditions, and by accessing or using our Website, you agree to be bound by all of our terms and conditions. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not access or use this Website.

We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy and our Website Usage Terms and Conditions at any time. Such changes, modifications, additions or deletions shall be effective immediately upon notice thereof, which may be given by means including, but not limited to issuing an e-mail to the e-mail address listed by registered users and posting the revised Privacy Policy on this page. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to maintain a valid e-mail address as a registered user, review this Website and this Privacy Policy periodically and to be aware of any modifications.

In addition to keeping your information private and secure, we strive to make sure that your experience with our Website will be smooth and beneficial to you as a participant in our program.

To provide our services to you, we must collect information about you. All information you submitted to us through this Website will remain your property. However, unless you opt out as explained below, we shall be free to use such information for any lawful purpose as detailed below.



INFORMATION WE COLLECT FROM YOU

In order to better provide you with our numerous services, we collect two types of information about our users: Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information. Our primary goal in collecting information from you is to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience while using our site.

Personally Identifiable Information
  • Information about you that you provide through online forms, applications and registration forms, surveys, and/or other entries, such as your name, address, telephone number (home, work and mobile), driver's license number or other government-issued photo ID, social security number, bank account information, information relating to monthly income, employment information, email addresses, statements of assets and other personal, financial or demographic information;
  • Information about your transactions with us, our affiliates or others, such as payment history and loan balances;
  • Information we receive from third parties, such as consumer and credit reporting agencies and other lenders, regarding your creditworthiness, credit scores and credit history;
  • Information about others - we may also collect and store personal information that you provide to us about other people such as co-applicants or family members, including their name, address, phone number, social security number, financial information or other personal information.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information

Non-Personally Identifiable Information we collect when you use the Website is information that does not by itself identify a specific individual. We gather certain information about you based upon where you visit on our site in several ways. This information is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. This information may include the Web site's Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") that you just came from, which URL you go to next, what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol ("IP") address. An URL is the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web. An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol ("TCP/IP") network, such as the World Wide Web. Networks like the Web use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP address of the destination. In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the web, allowing web servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the Internet.

WHERE DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM YOU AND HOW DO WE USE IT?

We do not collect any Personally Identifiable Information about you unless you voluntarily provide it to us. You provide certain Personally Identifiable Information to us when you:

(a) register for our services, register your e-mail address with us and when you fill out forms and applications; or

(b) send e-mail messages, submit forms or transmit other information on this Website or by telephone or letter.

We may also collect information from you at other points on our site that state that such information is being collected. In addition, we may also collect, or a third party server provider and/or content server may collect, certain Non-Personally Identifiable Information. This information is ultimately stored in the form of store categories, and, in some cases, specific URLs. We use your IP address to diagnose problems with our servers, software, to administer our site and to gather demographic information. Our third party service providers will also provide us with reports about users.

HOW WE USE INFORMATION WE COLLECT

The information we collect about you is used to provide services to you and contact you regarding administrative matters. We may also use your information to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, and enforce our agreements with you, including, but not limited to the Website Usage Terms and Conditions, Application Agreement, Note, Loan Agreement and this Privacy Policy.

We may use your personal, demographic and profile data to send you information about our company and promotional material from us and/or our partners that we think might be of interest to you. We may also use your personal, demographic and profile data to improve our Website, for statistical analysis, for marketing and promotional purposes, and for editorial or feedback purposes for our advertisers.[will you have 3rd party advertisers? If not, delete] Information collected by us may be added to our databases and used for future e-mails or postal mailings regarding site updates, new products and services, upcoming events, and/or status of our services to you, unless prohibited by law.

We will not use your loan-specific financial information such as social security number, employment information and/or bank account information ("Sensitive Information") for any marketing purposes, or transfer the same to any third party, other than the third party lenders, credit report providers and service providers discussed below, as necessary to process your application and provide the services that you applied for.

PARTIES TO WHOM WE DISCLOSE

If you provide Personally Identifiable Information it will be used and disclosed to third parties for the purpose of considering you for a loan account with us and sharing your information with authorized trusted service providers and/or third parties that perform certain services on our behalf and provide us with information about you in connection with your request for a loan. These service providers may include lenders and other financial services providers, credit bureaus, consumer reporting agencies, marketing and customer services firms and credit card payment processors.

We may also employ other companies or individuals to perform certain functions on our behalf. Examples include but are not limited to removing duplicate information from customer lists, analyzing data, and providing marketing analysis. These agents have access to your personal information as needed to perform their job functions for us; we do not permit them to use your personal information for other unauthorized purposes and we maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your personal information.

In addition, unless you "opt out" in manner explained below, we reserve the right to share, rent, sell or otherwise disclose your information, other than your Sensitive Information, with third parties which may include but are not limited to: providers of direct marketing services and applications, including lookup and reference, data enhancement, suppression and validation; email marketers; and telemarketers. In addition, information gathered by us may be added to our databases and used for future telemarketing, SMS text-messaging, emails or postal mailings regarding site updates, new products and services, upcoming events, and/or status of orders and loans placed online. By using this Website, you agree that you may be contacted in any manner mentioned in this section even if your number is found on a do-not-call registry or similar registry; we retain the right to contact you via telemarketing in accordance with Telemarketing Sales Rule 16 CFR ยง310 et seq., as amended from time to time.

Any third parties to whom we may disclose personal information may have their own privacy policies which describe how they use and disclose personal information. Those policies will govern use, handling and disclosure of your personal information once we have shared it with those third parties as described in this Privacy Policy. If you want to learn more about their privacy practices, we encourage you to visit the websites of those third parties. These entities or their servers may be located either inside or outside the United States.

We may also disclose your current or past information in response to a subpoena or similar investigative demand, a court order, or a request for cooperation from law enforcement or other government agencies; to establish or exercise our legal rights; to defend against legal claims; or as otherwise required by law. In such cases, we may raise or waive any legal objection or right available to us. We will disclose your information when we believe it is appropriate in connection with efforts to investigate, prevent, or take other action regarding illegal activity, suspected fraud or other wrongdoing; to protect and defend the rights, property or safety of our company, our users, our employees, or others; to comply with applicable law or cooperate with law enforcement; or to enforce our Website terms and conditions or other agreements or policies.

For example, when we transmit highly confidential or Sensitive Information over the Internet, we protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. In addition, to keeping your Personally Identifiable Information secure during online transmission we also maintain a physically safe environment for all stored information by restricting access to those employees who need to access to that information in order to provide products or services to you. Our employees are dedicated in maintaining the privacy of your personal information. Employees who are found not adhering to our strict privacy policies will be subject to disciplinary action.

We shall notify you via email in the event we discover that there has been a security breach of your Personally Identifiable Information. Please be advised that notice to you may be delayed in order to allow proper law enforcement time to investigate the extent of network damage, and to engage in remedial measures.
