We are committed to protecting the privacy of our Clients’ private information. We created this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to protect your privacy. In order to provide the best possible service to you, we require certain personal and financial information from you. Although we share Client information with certain employees and with Lenders we believe are best suited to meet your financing needs, we promise that:
1. We do not and will not offer for sale, share, or lease any information given to us by you, except as disclosed in this Privacy Policy.
2. Our Privacy Policy applies to prospective, current, and former Clients.
3. Our policies and procedures are designed to protect all of the information that you provide us from unauthorized use or disclosure.
INFORMATION COLLECTED:
We collect two types of information from you when you visit our website:
1. Personal, Business, and financial information that you knowingly provide by filling out forms and applications (“Personally Identifiable” information).
2. Other, “Non-Personally Identifiable” information such as your browsing history, IP address, and limited demographic information, that our servers obtain while you browse but is not directly associated with you.
IP ADDRESS:
An IP address is a number assigned to your computer while using the Internet from which Web servers can automatically identify your computer. Our server gathers your IP address and the webpage from where you linked to our website. Your IP address assists us in administering and optimizing the website for you, analyzing website usage, and diagnosing problems with the website.

Each time you access our services, we may also require that you verify your identity by asking you to provide certain personal information and/or a password. These questions and correct answers help to protect you from fraudulent users and identity theft.

When you enter into a binding contract with us, you consent to our disclosure of your Personally Identifiable information when:
1. We have obtained your consent to share the information;
2. The information shared is necessary to provide you with the products or services you requested; or
