Privacy Policy

LindenFort ("we", "us", "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through our compliance with this policy. This Privacy Policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you visit the website LindenFort.com (our "Website") and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.

Please read this policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is not to use our Website.

1. Our Role and Services

LindenFort provides a matching service that enables consumers to connect with independent, third-party lenders and financial service networks. LindenFort is not a lender, does not make credit decisions, and does not broker loans. We use the information you provide exclusively to connect you with our network of prospective lenders who may be able to offer you a loan.

2. Information We Collect

We collect several types of information from and about users of our Website, including:

• Personal Information: When you complete our online form, we collect personal details necessary to match you with a lender. This may include your name, physical address, email address, telephone number, date of birth, Social Security Number (SSN), driver's license number, and employment information.
• Financial Information: We may collect data regarding your income, bank account routing numbers, pay frequency, and estimated credit score range.
• Technical and Usage Data: As you navigate through and interact with our Website, we may use automatic data collection technologies to collect certain information about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns, including IP addresses, browser types, operating systems, and page views.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use information that we collect about you or that you provide to us:

• To provide you with our core service: matching you with prospective third-party lenders and financial networks.
• To deliver information, products, or services that you request from us or our partners.
• To fulfill any other purpose for which you provide it.
• To notify you about changes to our Website or any products or services we offer.
• To help our partners detect and prevent fraud.
• To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.

4. How We Share Your Information

By submitting your information through our Website, you expressly consent to us sharing your personal and financial information with our network of third-party lenders and lending partners.

• Lenders and Network Partners: We share your information with participating third-party lenders to determine whether they can offer you a loan. These lenders may verify your social security number, perform credit checks, and review your information against national databases (including Equifax, TransUnion, Experian, and other alternative credit bureaus).
• Service Providers: We may share your information with contractors, service providers, and other third parties we use to support our business (such as web hosting and customer service) who are bound by contractual obligations to keep personal information confidential.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your personal information to comply with any court order, law, or legal process, including responding to any government or regulatory request.

5. Third-Party Links and Lender Policies

Once you are redirected to a third-party lender's website or if you click on external links, our Privacy Policy no longer applies. The privacy practices of our participating lenders and third-party networks may differ from ours. We strongly encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party lender with whom you are connected. LindenFort is not responsible for the privacy practices, lending terms, or actions of any third-party lender.

6. Data Security

We have implemented commercially reasonable measures, including 256-bit SSL encryption technology, designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. However, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk.
