2. Cookies and Web Analysis Tools
We use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to collect anonymous session information, monitor site traffic, and personalize your experience.
- Cookies: These are small text files downloaded to your device. We use them to keep track of your login status, remember your preferences, and improve our Sites and Services. You may adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies, though some features of the Sites and Services may not function properly as a result.
- Web Analysis: We use web analytics tools to measure depersonalized user behavior. We also collect telemetry from our email communications to track open rates and link clicks, allowing us to improve our reporting and service delivery.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your personal information strictly for legitimate business purposes, including to:
- Provide, operate, and maintain the Sites and Services.
- Process transactions, deliver requested products/services, and handle customer support inquiries.
- Verify your identity, underwrite applications, and prevent fraud or unauthorized activity.
- Communicate with you regarding updates, security alerts, and promotional offers (subject to your opt-out rights).
- Create Analytical Data: By submitting personal information, you grant LendStrm a royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, and irrevocable right to use depersonalized and aggregated data for statistical analysis, commercial development, and sharing with prospective partners.
4. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. However, we may share your data under the following circumstances:
- Service Providers: We share information with trusted third parties who perform services on our behalf (e.g., payment processors, credit bureaus, identity verification services, and customer support platforms).
- Asset Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, User information may be transferred. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of such an event via email or prominent notice on the Website.
- Legal Disclosures: We may disclose your information if required by law, subpoena, or court order, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to enforce our Terms of Service, protect our rights, or ensure the safety of LendStrm and its Users.
- Feedback: If you submit bug reports, comments, or ideas ("Feedback"), you grant LendStrm a perpetual, royalty-free license to use and disclose this Feedback for any purpose without obligation to you.
Note: Your Social Security Number and driver's license number are strictly protected and only shared with verified entities necessary for identity verification and financial underwriting. Text messaging (SMS) opt-in data and consent will never be shared with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
5. Payments and Third-Party Services
If you make a purchase or payment, we use third-party payment processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal). Your payment data is encrypted using the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS).
Third-Party Links & Policies: Our Sites and Services may contain links to third-party websites or utilize third-party integrations. Once you leave our Website or are redirected to a third-party application, you are governed by their privacy policies. LendStrm is not responsible for the privacy practices or data security of third-party platforms. If your transaction is processed in a different jurisdiction, your data may be subject to the laws of that jurisdiction.
6. Security and Data Retention
While LendStrm implements generally accepted industry standards to protect your sensitive information, no method of digital transmission or storage is 100% secure. You acknowledge and agree that you transmit information to us at your own risk.
In the event of a suspected data breach compromising your personal information, we will investigate the situation, notify affected users, and take necessary steps to comply with applicable data breach notification laws, including the Florida Information Protection Act (FIPA), which generally requires notification to affected individuals no later than 30 days after the determination of a breach. We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or to comply with legal and regulatory obligations.
7. Electronic Communication and SMS Consent
- Electronic Signatures: You may withdraw your consent to use electronic signatures or receive electronic communications by contacting us. Doing so may prevent us from processing pending applications or providing certain services.
- Text Messaging (SMS): By providing your mobile number and opting in, you consent to receive SMS messages from LendStrm, including account alerts, application updates, and support messages. Message and data rates may apply. You may text HELP for assistance or STOP at any time to opt out. We do not sell or share SMS opt-in data or consent with any third parties, except our direct SMS service provider for the sole purpose of delivering our messages.
8. Governing Law, Dispute Resolution & Mediation
This Privacy Policy and any disputes arising out of it shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
In the event of any dispute or claim, you agree to first attempt to negotiate a written resolution with LendStrm in good faith. If unresolved after forty-five (45) days of written notice, both parties agree to join in mediation in the State of Florida with a mutually agreed mediator. Failure to attempt mediation prior to filing any arbitration or legal claims will result in a waiver of your right to recover attorneys' fees.
9. California Privacy Rights (CCPA)
If you are a resident of California, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) grants you specific rights regarding your personal information:
- Right to Know: You have the right to request the categories of personal information we have collected, the sources, the business purposes for collection, and the specific pieces of data we hold about you.
- Right to Delete: You have the right to request the deletion of your personal information, subject to certain legal and business exceptions.
- Right to Opt-Out: While LendStrm does not traditionally "sell" data, certain sharing practices may qualify as a "sale" under the CCPA. You may opt out by clicking the "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" link on our Website or contacting us directly.
- Right to Non-Discrimination: You will not be penalized, denied services, or charged different rates for exercising your CCPA rights.
Exercising Your Rights: To submit a request, contact us with your name, email, phone number, California postal address, and account information. We must verify your identity via your registered email address before processing the request.
Authorized Agents: You may designate an authorized agent to make CCPA requests on your behalf. The agent must provide verifiable proof of your authorization, and you will still be required to verify your identity directly with us.
10. Minors
Our Sites and Services are not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect, request, or disclose the personal information of minors under the age of 18 without affirmative, verifiable parental authorization.
