Sale, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising
Certain state laws define the terms "sale" and "sharing" broadly.
A sale may include providing personal information to another party in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration.
Sharing may include providing personal information to another party for cross-context behavioral advertising or similar targeted advertising purposes.
Where applicable, you may opt out of these activities through our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page.
We do not sell sensitive personal information.
We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of individuals under 16 years of age.

Depending on the information you voluntarily provide, Smart Loan Aid may receive information that is considered sensitive under applicable law.
We use sensitive information only as reasonably necessary to provide requested services, comply with law, maintain security, prevent fraud, or perform other permitted purposes.
We do not use sensitive personal information for purposes of inferring characteristics about consumers in a manner that requires a separate limitation right under applicable law.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

We may retain limited suppression information after an opt-out request to help ensure that your preference continues to be honored.

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, use, acquisition, alteration, loss, or disclosure.
These safeguards may include access controls, authentication, secure transmission methods, system monitoring, vendor controls, employee training, data minimization, and other reasonable security practices.
No method of transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Consumer Reports
Smart Loan Aid does not obtain a consumer credit report through the ordinary website inquiry or educational process unless a separate process expressly informs you otherwise and applicable legal requirements are satisfied.
Submitting an inquiry through our website does not, by itself, authorize Smart Loan Aid to obtain your consumer credit report.

Our website and services are intended for adults who are at least 18 years old.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children for use of our services.
If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child in circumstances where collection was not permitted, we will take reasonable steps to delete or otherwise address the information.
