This Privacy Policy covers 700-dollar-loan.com, its subsidiaries, and any of its

Website.
This Website is not intended for anyone under the age of eighteen (18) or

When you visit the Website, we may collect certain non-personal information
from you, including your Internet Protocol (IP) address, the date and time of
your visit, browser type, operating system, the specific web pages visited

such as the date and time you visit the Website, the areas or pages of the
Website that you visit, the amount of time you spend viewing the Website, the
number of times you return to the Website and other clickstream data. We may

Like many commercial websites, we analyze how visitors use our Site through
what is known as “cookie” technology. A cookie is a small text file that is
placed on your computer when you access the Site and allows us to recognize you
each time you visit the Site. We may use cookies to: (1) enhance or personalize
your Website usage; (2) monitor Website usage; (3) manage the Website; and (4)
improve the Website and our services. If you choose, you can set your browser
to reject cookies or you can manually delete individual or all of the cookies
on your computer by following your browser’s help file directions. However, if
your browser is set to reject cookies or you manually delete cookies, you may
have some trouble accessing and using some of the pages and features that are
currently on our Website, or that we may put on our Website in the future.
We may also use web beacons on the Website, in our emails and in our
advertisements on other websites. Web beacons are tiny graphic images that are
used to collect information about your Site visit, such as the pages you view
and the features you use, as well as information about whether you open and/or
act upon one of our emails or advertisements. We may also collect the URL of
the website you visited immediately before coming to the Website. Web beacons
help us analyze our Website visitors’ behavior and measure the effectiveness of
the Website and our advertising. We may work with service providers that help
us track, collect and analyze this information.
We may combine the non-personal information we collect, such as through cookies
and web beacons, with other information we have collected from you.

following purposes: (1) to fulfill your request for solicitation purposes and
match you with a participating lender; (2) to respond to your inquiries; (3) to

If you do not wish to receive communications from us about offers and
promotions, you can opt-out of receiving these communications by emailing us
at [email protected] or by
following the instructions in the messages you receive.
Disclosure of Information
We may disclose information collected from and about you as follows: (1) to
facilitate your request by sharing your personal information to participating
lenders so that they may contact you regarding a loan; (2) our related
companies and service providers, to perform a business, professional or
technical support function for us; (3)with consumer reporting and related
agencies; (4) as necessary if we believe that there has been a violation of the
Website Terms of Use or of our rights or the rights of any third party; (5) to
respond to legal process (such as a search warrant, subpoena or court order)
and provide information to law enforcement agencies or in connection with an
investigation on matters related to public safety, as permitted by law, or

substantially all of its assets are acquired, your personal information may be
one of the transferred assets. We may also disclose your personal information
with your express consent. We may share aggregate, non-personal information
about Website users with third parties.
Additionally, we may share your personally identifiable information (excluding your
social security number, bank account information, or other financial
information) with third party marketers and other service providers (including
advertisers) with whom we have an ongoing business relationship.
Credit Implications of Providing Your Personal Information
Our participating third party lenders may verify, without limitation, your
social security number and driver’s license number, or any other qualifying
identification and review your information against national databases to
determine credit worthiness, standing and/or capacity. Please note that
multiple inquiries on the three national databases (Equifax, Transunion and
Experian) may result in a lowered credit score. By submitting your information
you agree to allow third party providers to verify your information and check
your credit as described in their policies and terms.
Security
We take reasonable and appropriate security precautions to secure the personal
information that you choose to provide against the loss, misuse, alteration, or
unauthorized access of such information. Unfortunately, no transmission of data
over the Internet is guaranteed to be completely secure. While we strive to
protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security or
confidentiality of any personal information you transmit to us.
Interest Based Advertising
We may partner with ad networks and other ad serving providers (“Advertising
Providers”) who serve ads on behalf of us and others on non-affiliated sites.
Some of those ads may be personalized, meaning that they are intended to be
relevant to you based on information Advertising Providers collect about your
visits to this site and elsewhere over time. Our Advertising Providers use
cookies to personalize advertisements that you may see on other websites.
Because an industry-standard Do-Not-Track protocol has not yet been
established, we will not change your browsing experience based on any “Do Not
Track” signals that may be sent by certain browsers or selected by you.
However, you can visit www.cookiecentral.com and www.aboutads.info to learn more about
this type of advertising and how to opt-out of this form of advertising by
companies participating in the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”)
self-regulatory program. Note that electing to opt-out will not stop
advertising from appearing in your browser or applications. It may make the ads
you see less relevant to your interests. In addition, note that if you use a
different browser or erase cookies from your browser, you may need to renew
your opt-out choice. As each browser is different, please check the help
section of your browser for instructions on how to remove cookies and learn
about other privacy and security settings that may be available.

information from, children under the age of thirteen.

participating lenders, which may have privacy policies that differ from our
own. Additionally, third party vendors (including Google) may display
advertisements for this site and our services. We are not responsible for, nor
do we endorse, any of the activities and practices that take place on these
sites. Accordingly, we recommend that you review the privacy policy posted on
any external site before disclosing any personal information. Please contact
those websites directly if you have any questions about their privacy policies.
