This Privacy Policy explains our views and practices concerning privacy, and how they may pertain to you as a user of our system.
"You" or "Your" means you, a participant in or as a user of the 247LendingGroup.com program.
"We" or "Our" or "Us" means 247LendingGroup.com. "Our Website" also means 247LendingGroup.com.
All information transmitted, printed or otherwise submitted to 247LendingGroup.com through this Website remains your property; however, 247LendingGroup.com will be free to use that information for any lawful purpose as detailed below.
This Website contains links to other websites. 247LendingGroup.com is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such sites.
Collected Information
247LendingGroup.com automatically collects and/or tracks the following information:
1. Information knowingly provided by you through online forms, registration forms, surveys and/or other entries, such as your name, street address, e-mail address, telephone number (home, work and mobile), date of birth, information relating to monthly income, employment information, and other personal, financial or demographic information (collectively, “Sensitive Information”);
2. Web page http headers (home server domain names, IP address, type of client computer, type of Web browser and operating system);
3. Information (user-specific or aggregate) concerning the pages our visitors access and referring URLs; and
4. The e-mail addresses of visitors who communicate with 247LendingGroup.com via e-mail.
Submitting information to us is voluntary. However, if you would like to receive information on a loan-related product from one of our network of third party loan providers (“Loan Providers”), you must submit the required information, even if you do not actually enter into a formal application with any Loan Provider.
Use of Data Collected
We use the information we collect to enhance your experience at our Website and to help us to offer content we determine may be of interest to you. We may also use your personal, demographic, and profile data to improve our Website, conduct statistical analysis, and for marketing, promotional, editorial, or feedback purposes. Information collected by us may be added to our databases and used for future e-mails or postal mailings of products and services.
Disclosure of Data to Third Parties
By using this Website, you agree that you may be contacted in any manner contemplated in this section even if your number is found on a do-not-call registry or similar registry. If you choose to provide personal information, it will be used for and/or shared with trusted third parties such as Loan Providers and/or other financial service providers, credit bureaus, and for marketing products and services that you might find of interest.
By submitting an application on this website to be matched with lender/s for the intent of receiving free, no obligation rate quotes, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to this Privacy Policy. Any and all Information that we collect from you, and from such third parties, as part of your loan application, will be used to determine where we route your application with the intent of matching you with a Loan Provider.
Your Credit
All of the lenders we work with can offer free rate quotes with no impact to your credit whatsoever. We have some Loan Providers that are able to issue pre-approval quotes without performing any credit check, and other Loan Providers that can issue pre-approvals and approvals via a soft credit check (no impact to your FICO credit score or rating). We have some Loan Providers, that once matched with, may need to collect additional information from you including your SSN, for the purpose of doing a soft credit inquiry to determine whether or not to extend potential offers to you. There is no impact to your credit score or rating when a lender performs a soft credit inquiry.
Once pre-approved by a Loan Provider we matched you with, we will hand you off to that lender for the purpose of you becoming their client, and them helping you finalize your loan with them. During the process of finalizing your financing, some Loan Providers may need to perform a hard credit inquiry. Those Loan Providers will ask for your permission prior to doing so. For more information on the difference between hard and soft credit inquiries and how they may affect your credit score, please visit: https://www.experian.com/blogs/news/2012/09/17/credit-score-myths/.
When submitting an application for a loan rate quote request that requires a soft credit check in order for rate quotes to be extended, you are providing written consent under the Fair Credit Reporting Act for 247LendingGroup.com and its Loan Providers with whom you are matched to obtain consumer report information from your credit profile or other information from their contracted Credit Bureau/s. You understand and agree that you are submitting an application for credit, and are consenting to the use of your consumer report information by 247LendingGroup.com's Loan Providers to conduct anti-fraud security checks and evaluate your application for credit. Upon qualification, your ultimate loan-specific financial information will be stored and utilized by your applicable lender in accordance with the terms of that lender's Privacy Policy. Therefore it is important that you thoroughly review that lender's Privacy Policy carefully before executing any loan documents.
Information Sharing
Without limiting the foregoing, 247LendingGroup.com reserves the right to release current or past user information under the following conditions:
* (1) 247LendingGroup.com believes that the service and/or Website is being or has been used in violation of the Website’s Terms and Conditions or to commit unlawful acts,
* (2) as required by law or legal process, or
* (3) in connection with a business transfer, in which case the acquiring business would continue to be bound by this Privacy Policy.

Information Collection Processes
247LendingGroup.com may employ "cookies" to help customize your access to the Website. A cookie is a piece of data stored on your hard drive containing information about you. Cookies have many benefits to enhance your experience at our Website.

Even in the case where a user rejects a cookie, they may still use our Website. The only drawback to this is that the user will be limited in what he/she can access in some areas on our Website, much like visitor-level access.
