Notice at Collection

How We Share Information

We share your information only as described below.

  • Third parties you authorize — access you explicitly grant; their use is governed by their own policies.
  • Following the law — disclosures reasonably necessary to comply with law or prevent fraud or abuse; we scrutinize and challenge overbroad requests.
  • Others working for Loan Factory — trusted vendors for support, hosting and analytics, required to protect your data to the same standard.
  • Business transfers — in a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, information may transfer as part of the deal.
No marketing sharing

We do not share data with third parties for marketing or promotional purposes.

Sensitive Personal Information

We collect sensitive personal information (e.g. SSN, financial account info, precise geolocation) only as necessary to provide Services, detect and prevent fraud, and comply with legal requirements. We do not use or disclose it beyond purposes allowed under the CPRA without your consent.

Data Protection & Retention

While no service is completely secure, we have a dedicated security team. We use firewalls, network redundancy, and vulnerability testing to keep your information safe. Payment information is transmitted using HTTPS encryption, and we maintain PCI DSS certification.

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes disclosed here, for legal compliance, or as otherwise required by law. Retention periods are listed in the Notice at Collection table above.

Communications & Text Messages

We may email you service-related announcements and transaction updates, plus optional marketing you can unsubscribe from at any time. By providing your phone number, you consent to receive conversational SMS related to your mortgage inquiry, application, and status updates.

SMS

Reply STOP to opt out; reply HELP for support. Message & data rates may apply; frequency may vary. No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.
