Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how paydayloansstockton.com ("Site," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information when you visit the Site, submit a loan request, or otherwise interact with our services.

paydayloansstockton.com is not a lender and does not make credit decisions. We provide an online connecting service that gives consumers access to lenders or lending partners in a network. A lender or lending partner may review your information and decide whether to offer a loan. Approval is not guaranteed, and loan availability, amounts, rates, fees, repayment terms, credit checks, documentation requirements, and funding times vary by lender, state, and individual circumstances.

Information We Collect

Depending on how you use the Site and the information you choose to provide, we may collect personal information such as:

• Identifiers and contact information: name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, date of birth, and similar information.
• Loan request information: requested loan amount, income, employment details, pay frequency, housing information, and other information relevant to your request.
• Sensitive personal information: depending on the information requested through the service, this may include Social Security number, government-issued identification information, bank account information, routing information, or similar financial details.
• Device and usage information: IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, referring information, approximate location derived from IP address, and interactions with the Site.
• Communications and consent records: messages, consent records, timestamps, opt-out requests, and records related to your interactions with the Site.

We may collect information directly from you, automatically through cookies and similar technologies, and, where permitted by law, from service providers or other sources involved in operating the connecting service.

How We Use Personal Information

We may use personal information to:

• Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site;
• Process and transmit your loan request through the connecting service;
• Provide access to lenders or lending partners in a network;
• Help participating lenders or lending partners evaluate whether they may offer you a loan;
• Verify information, detect fraud, prevent misuse, and protect the security of the Site;
• Communicate with you about your request, our services, or legally permitted marketing communications;
• Maintain records of consent and privacy choices;
• Analyze Site performance and user interactions;
• Comply with applicable legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations; and
• Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

How We Disclose Personal Information

We may disclose personal information to categories of recipients that include:

• Lenders and lending partners: to provide the connecting service and allow a lender or lending partner to review your request and determine whether it may offer you a loan.
• Network and request-routing providers: where necessary to transmit, route, process, or evaluate a loan request within the network used to provide the connecting service.
• Service providers: such as providers of hosting, data storage, security, fraud prevention, analytics, communications, and technical support services.
• Advertising and analytics providers: where such technologies are used and disclosure is permitted by applicable law, subject to available privacy choices.
• Government authorities and other parties: when reasonably necessary to comply with law, legal process, regulatory requests, protect rights or safety, investigate fraud, or enforce applicable policies.
• Business transaction recipients: in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, subject to applicable law.

Depending on applicable law and the circumstances, certain disclosures to third parties may be treated as a "sale," "sharing," or disclosure for targeted advertising purposes. Where required by law, eligible consumers may exercise applicable opt-out rights.

Lenders, lending partners, and other independent third parties may have their own privacy policies and information practices. Once information is provided to an independent third party, that party's handling of the information may be governed by its own policies and legal obligations. We are not responsible for the actions or inactions of any lender or other independent third party.

Loan Requests, Credit Information, and Verification

Submitting a loan request does not guarantee approval or funding. A lender or lending partner may verify information you provide, request additional information or documentation, or obtain credit or consumer report information where permitted by law and applicable authorization. Requirements vary by lender and individual circumstances.

We do not make credit decisions, set interest rates or fees, determine repayment terms, approve loan requests, or fund loans.

Consent When Submitting Information

By submitting your information, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to the Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, E-Consent, Responsible Lending, and Marketing Practices.

Where additional consent is required for specific communications, information disclosures, credit-related actions, or other activities, the applicable consent language presented at the point of collection will govern.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies to operate the Site, remember preferences, maintain security, prevent fraud, understand Site usage, measure performance, and support advertising or analytics where applicable.

Most browsers allow you to manage or disable cookies through browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect Site functionality. Third-party technologies may also be governed by the privacy practices of the companies providing them.

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting. Because there is no single universally adopted standard for interpreting every such signal, our response may vary according to applicable law and the technologies used by the Site.

State Privacy Rights

Depending on your state of residence, the law applicable to us, and available exemptions, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:

• Request access to or information about personal information we maintain about you;
• Request correction of inaccurate personal information;
• Request deletion of certain personal information;
• Request a portable copy of certain personal information;
• Opt out of certain sales or sharing of personal information;
• Opt out of certain targeted advertising or profiling, where applicable;
• Request limitation of certain uses or disclosures of sensitive personal information, where applicable;
• Appeal certain decisions concerning a privacy request, where applicable; and
• Exercise applicable privacy rights without unlawful discrimination.

These rights are not absolute. We may deny or limit a request where permitted by law, including when an exemption applies, information must be retained for legal or security purposes, or we cannot reasonably verify the request.

Certain information processed in connection with financial products or services may be subject to federal or state exemptions or separate legal requirements. Where an exemption applies, some state privacy rights may not apply to that information.

How to Exercise Privacy Rights

To submit a privacy request, contact us at [email protected]. Please use the subject line "Privacy Request" and describe the right you wish to exercise.

We may request information reasonably necessary to verify your identity and process the request. Where permitted by law, an authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf, but we may require proof of authorization and identity verification.

To appeal an eligible privacy-rights decision where applicable, contact [email protected] with the subject line "Privacy Request Appeal".

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including providing the connecting service, maintaining consent and transaction records, preventing fraud, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and complying with legal obligations.

Retention periods may vary based on the type of information, the context in which it was collected, legal requirements, security considerations, and operational needs. We may retain de-identified or aggregated information where permitted by law.

Information Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. Access to personal information may be limited based on business need and appropriate safeguards.

However, no Internet transmission, electronic storage system, or security measure can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should use appropriate caution when providing information online.

Children's Privacy

The Site and its connecting service are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children under 18 for the purpose of submitting loan requests.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact [email protected]. We will review the request and take appropriate action as required by applicable law.

Third-Party Websites and Services

The Site may provide access to or interact with third-party websites or services. We do not control the privacy, security, or information practices of independent third parties. Users should review applicable third-party privacy practices before providing personal information.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, services, or applicable legal requirements. When we update this Privacy Policy, we will revise the "Last Updated" date and provide any additional notice required by applicable law.
