Your financial privacy matters to us. This notice covers Lift Lending and its subsidiaries and affiliates ("Lift") and how we guard the confidentiality and security of your personal information.
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, the homepage, any notices we provide, and other places we deem appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We reserve the right to modify this privacy statement at any time, so please review it frequently. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here, by means of a notice on our homepage and/or any other acceptable means.
Information We Collect Through Our Website
On our website, we collect personal information about you that you willingly provide to us for purposes of generating a free financial analysis. This includes your name, address, email address, state of residence, phone number, current credit situation, your IP address, your website interaction on the site, and how you heard about us.
The only type of communications we send out are service-related emails in response to your online inquiry or phone call requesting a free consultation. Users cannot opt out of these service-related emails while engaged in ongoing transactions with Lift. If your personally identifiable information changes, or if you no longer desire our service, you may contact us using the information at the end of this policy to correct, update, delete, or deactivate your personal information.
We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required to complete the requested transaction, service your account, as required by law, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process.
We also may collect information that is not personally identifiable. Our website automatically collects clickstream information about your visit, including the address of the website from which you originated, the pages you visit on our website, and the browser you use.
If you become a client of Lift Lending, we will collect additional personal information about you, including information about your education, home address, employment, account balances, creditors, life events, and financial condition.
How We Use the Information We Collect
Lift does not share any information it collects through its website with any other person or entity except as permitted by law and indicated in this privacy policy. The personal information we collect is initially used to develop your free financial analysis. After developing an analysis, we use the information you submitted to contact you with the results, explain how Lift can help improve your financial situation, or suggest alternate options if Lift is unable to assist you.
We may share personal information about you with your creditors and other parties that help us service and maintain your account. All of the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent — this information is never shared with any third parties. We may receive personal information about you from other parties such as credit reporting agencies, third parties who assist in identifying prospective consumers, data brokers, social media and marketing sources, or your creditors.
Lift uses Google Analytics reporting to gather information on visitors to our website, including Demographics and Interest Reporting (age, gender, and interests) to enhance visitor experience and support display advertising. We do not merge personally-identifiable information with non-personally-identifiable information from display advertising features based on the DoubleClick cookie unless we have robust notice of, and your prior affirmative (opt-in) consent to, that merger. Visitors can use Ads Settings to opt out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising and customize Google Display Network ads.
As necessary, we may share non-personal information with trusted third-party service providers, such as the corporations that manage or host our website, to perform services on our behalf. They typically use non-personal, anonymous information — like clickstream data regarding visit duration — that isn't identifiable with a particular visitor.
Cookies
A cookie is a small text file stored on a user's computer for record-keeping purposes. We use cookies on this site, but we do not link the information stored in cookies to any personally identifiable information you submit while on our site.
We use persistent cookies, which remain on your hard drive for an extended period of time. You can remove persistent cookies by following the directions in your browser's "help" file. We set persistent cookies to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the site experience. If you reject cookies, you will not have any difficulty using our site.
Some of our business partners/affiliates use cookies on our site. We have no access to, or control over, these cookies. This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by Lift only and does not address the use of cookies by any other party.
Pixels
Pixels allow third parties to collect browsing information across sites and help us make the ads and content displayed more relevant to users. Pixels also allow us to provide third parties information about how viewers engage with content or advertisements and how to reach the most interested audience.
Pixels collect IP address and location, date and time stamp, user agent, cookie IDs (if applicable), URL, time zone, and other browser-level or cookie data. Pixel data used for ad or content optimization is only used after being aggregated with other data collected from advertisers or other third parties. We may share aggregate statistics, metrics, and other reports, such as the number of unique user views, demographics about users who engaged with ads or content, conversion rates, and date/time information.
Data Security Safeguards
We restrict access to your personal information only to those employees who need that information to service and maintain your account with us. We also maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal requirements to guard your personal information. All employees are trained on information security expectations to ensure the confidentiality and proper usage of data and the systems protecting it.

Sharing your information
We may disclose your personal information to a third party for a business purpose. When we do, we enter a contract describing the purpose and requiring the recipient to keep that information confidential and use it only to perform the contract. In the preceding twelve months, we have disclosed the following categories of personal information for a business purpose: identifiers; California Customer Records categories; protected classifications under California or federal law; commercial information; biometric data; internet or network activity; professional or employment-related information; and inferences drawn from other personal information — to our affiliates, service providers, and third parties you or your agents authorize us to disclose information to.
We may also disclose personal information for a commercial purpose under a compensatory relationship that requires the recipient to abide by data privacy regulations. In the preceding twelve months, we have disclosed identifiers, California Customer Records categories, and commercial information for a commercial purpose — to our affiliates, corporate credit facility lenders, service providers, vendors, and other third parties including marketers.
