Communication and privacy choices are outlined below.
Who we are
LendersCompete.com is operated by The Leads Network LLC (“LendersCompete,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This policy applies to our website and our home, personal, and business loan request forms.
Information we collect
Depending on the form or feature you use, we may collect:
- Contact details, including your name, email address, telephone number, and location.
- Loan-request details, such as desired amount, purpose, property information, income, business information, and other information you choose to provide.
- Technical and usage information, such as IP address, browser, device, pages visited, referring source, campaign parameters, and cookie or similar identifiers.
- Records of your consent and communications with us.
Please do not send highly sensitive information unless a form specifically requests it. We do not perform a credit check when you submit the initial request forms presented on these landing pages.
How we use information
- To receive, review, and respond to your request.
- To connect you with relevant lenders, brokers, service providers, or partners where appropriate.
- To communicate about your request and related products or services.
- To operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve our website and forms.
- To measure advertising and campaign performance, prevent fraud, and comply with law.
How information may be shared
We may share information with participating lenders, brokers, loan-service providers, and other partners involved in responding to your request; vendors that provide hosting, form processing, analytics, advertising measurement, communications, security, or professional services; and government or legal parties where required by law or necessary to protect rights and safety. A recipient’s own privacy policy applies after it receives information.
We may also disclose information as part of a merger, financing, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of business assets, subject to applicable law.
Calls, texts, and TCPA disclosure
Where you provide consent, you authorize LendersCompete, The Leads Network LLC, and relevant participating providers or partners to contact you at the number you provide by telephone call or text message, including through automated technology or prerecorded messages, about your request and related products or services. Consent is not a condition of purchasing goods or services. Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies. Reply STOP to opt out and HELP for help.
Cookies and advertising measurement
We and our service providers may use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working, understand site usage, remember preferences, prevent abuse, and measure advertising from sources including Google Ads and Microsoft Ads. Browser controls may allow you to block or delete cookies, although some features may not work as intended.
Data retention and security
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, to meet legal or contractual obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards. No Internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
Your choices and privacy rights
You may ask to access, correct, or delete certain personal information, or to opt out of certain communications. Rights vary by location and may be subject to exceptions. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. To stop marketing emails, use the unsubscribe link. To stop text messages, reply STOP.
Children and external sites
Our services are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 18. Our site may link to third-party websites; we do not control their privacy or security practices.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the updated version here and revise the effective date when changes are made.
