Information Collection and Use

We collect several types of information for various purposes to provide and improve our Service to you.

Personal Data

While using our Service — including the working-capital request form — we ask you to provide personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you, including but not limited to: business name, email address, state, and information about your business (time in operation, revenue, and funding needs) that you submit through our form. We may also collect cookies and usage data.

We may use your Personal Data to contact you about your funding request, and with newsletters, marketing, or promotional materials that may be of interest to you. You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by following the unsubscribe link or instructions in any email we send.

Usage Data

We may also collect information on how the Service is accessed and used ("Usage Data"), such as your IP address, browser type and version, the pages you visit, the time and date of your visit, time spent on those pages, unique device identifiers, and other diagnostic data.

Tracking & Cookies Data

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our Service and hold certain information. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent; if you do not accept cookies, some portions of our Service may not function correctly.

Session Cookies. Used to operate our Service.
Preference Cookies. Used to remember your preferences and settings.
Security Cookies. Used for security purposes.
Advertising Cookies. Used to serve advertisements that may be relevant to you and your interests.

Use of Data

We use the collected data for various purposes:

To provide and maintain our Service, including matching your funding request against our funding-partner directory
To notify you about changes to our Service
To provide customer support
To gather analysis or valuable information so we can improve our Service
To monitor the usage of our Service
To detect, prevent, and address technical issues
To provide you with news, special offers, and information about funding options similar to those you've inquired about, unless you've opted out

Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data (GDPR)

If you are from the European Economic Area (EEA), our legal basis for collecting and using personal information depends on the data we collect and the context in which we collect it. We may process your Personal Data because we need to perform a contract with you, you've given us permission to do so, the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your rights, or to comply with the law.

Retention of Data

We retain your Personal Data only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, and to the extent necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements and policies. Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period unless it's used to strengthen security or improve functionality, or we are legally obligated to retain it longer.

Transfer of Data

Your information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to and maintained on computers located outside your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where data protection laws may differ. If you are located outside the United States, please note we transfer data to the United States and process it there. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of information represents your agreement to that transfer.

Disclosure of Data

We may disclose your Personal Data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:

Comply with a legal obligation
Protect and defend our rights or property
Prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service
Protect the personal safety of users of the Service or the public
Protect against legal liability

We also share the funding-request details you submit with the funding partner(s) we match you to, so they can follow up with you about your request — this is the core function of the Service.

Security of Data

The security of your data is important to us, but no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Do Not Track Signals

We do not currently respond to "Do Not Track" browser signals. You can enable or disable Do Not Track in your browser's preferences, though it will not change how our Service behaves.

Your Data Protection Rights (GDPR)

If you are a resident of the EEA, you have the right to access, update, or delete the information we hold about you; the right of rectification; the right to object to processing; the right of restriction; the right to data portability; and the right to withdraw consent at any time. We may ask you to verify your identity before responding to such requests. You also have the right to complain to a Data Protection Authority about our collection and use of your Personal Data.

Service Providers

We may employ third-party companies to facilitate our Service, provide it on our behalf, or help us analyze how it's used — including form-handling, email delivery, and analytics providers. These third parties have access to your Personal Data only to perform these tasks and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

Links to Other Sites

Our Service may contain links to sites not operated by us, including funding partners' own sites. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites.

Children's Privacy

Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us so we can remove it.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the effective date above. You are advised to review this page periodically for changes.
