How Your Data Is Used

Your personal information is collected and used for several reasons:

• To process loan requests, evaluate their details, and analyze your eligibility.
• To provide services by matching you with the most suitable lender from our network.
• To validate your identity and confirm that the information you’ve shared is correct.
• To offer responsive and efficient customer support.
• To comply with the state and federal regulations and laws.
• To prevent any fraud risk and protect your data from suspicious activity.
• To improve the website’s functionality, offer personalized services, and improve communication.

When Your Information Is Shared

There are several situations and circumstances when we share your information:

1. Service providers and lenders. To process applications, check your data, maintain our website, and offer customer support.
2. Affiliates. We may disclose your information to our affiliates, parent company, or partners.
3. Legal Matter. To protect rights, your data may be shared if asked by a court, to comply with the law, or government regulations.
4. Fraud Protection. To prevent identity theft, credit reporting bureaus and anti-fraud services check your data.
5. We do not sell any personal information. We may share your data (i.e., device type, browsing details) with our advertising partners under California law. However, you can always opt out of sharing that information as a right.

Financial Services and GLBA

At Cash Loans Bear, we work with lenders and financial service providers who fall under the GLBA regulation. Our services comply with this federal law that obliges financial institutions to make their customer data processing and work procedures transparent and legal.

When our lending partners handle your financial data under GLBA rules, some CCPA rights might not apply to that specific information. Federal banking laws may also restrict what can be deleted or changed.

That said, you can always reach out to us about your privacy concerns. We’ll help however we can within what the law allows. Your information matters to us, and we take our legal responsibilities seriously.

To keep your data confidential, we’ll need to validate your identity before we process any request. Ask some questions to prove your identity and save your information from identity theft. We’ll get back to you within 45 days. 

If your request is complex and requires more time, we’ll let you know. If you’d like someone else to handle this for you (a lawyer or family member), they’ll need to show us written proof that you’ve authorized them to act on your behalf.
