How We Protect Your Information

  • General Protocols. We take what we believe to be industry standard security measures (including physical, electronic, and procedural measures) to help safeguard your Information from unauthorized access and disclosure. We also require employees to comply with information security safeguards, we use encryption in the transmission of your Information between your system and ours, and we use firewalls and other intrusion detection and prevention controls to help prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access to your Information.
  • Secure Web Pages, Encryption and Firewall Protection. Lenderful uses well-known and vetted security technologies to protect your data and transmissions between you, Lenderful and its Service Partners, and such transmissions are encrypted using public key cryptography algorithms with a minimum key size of 128 bits. Those pages on the Lenderful Site that ask for your personal information are delivered to your browser through HTTPS, a secure server communications layer. Transmission between your browser and our web server, including when you send your personal financial information to us, is implemented using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. SSL encrypts it, making the information unreadable by anyone except Lenderful. SSL does not allow anyone to intercept and read your personal information; only we can decode the encryption.You can verify that your communications with Lenderful are secure by checking for the key or lock icon on your browser. If your browser’s security feature has been turned on, a pop up box will notify you when you enter a secure page. Extended Validation SSL Certificates give high-security Web browsers information to clearly identify a Web site’s organizational identity. High security browsers and Extended Validation SSL Certificates provide third-party verification with a visual display (Green address bar) that gives consumers confidence and thereby builds trust in Lenderful. An Extended Validation SSL Certificate helps our web visitors complete secure transmissions with confidence. Another important information security measure in place throughout the Websites is the timeout feature. This feature will log you out if there has been no activity within a specified amount of time.Lenderful has also implemented firewall protection features. Firewalls are special purpose devices that protect and screen-out malicious attempts to access information and networks. Lenderful deploys firewalls at several points in its environment, including between you and the webserver, the database servers, and Lenderful’s internal production networks.
  • Disclaimer. No system can be completely secure. Therefore, although we take steps to secure your Information, we cannot guarantee that your Information, searches, or other communication will always remain secure.

Lenderful has the discretion to update this privacy policy at any time. When we do, we will revise the date at the top of this page. We encourage you to frequently check this page for any changes to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the Information we collect. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to review this privacy policy periodically and become aware of modifications.

Compliance with Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule

We do not knowingly collect, use or disclose personally identifiable information from anyone under 13 years of age. If we determine upon collection that a user is under this age, we will not use or maintain his/her PII without the parent/guardian’s consent. If we become aware that we have unknowingly collected PII from a child under the age of 13, we will make reasonable efforts to delete such information from our records.
