6. Credit Implications of Providing Personal Information
Our participating third-party lenders may verify your social security number, driver’s license number, or other qualifying identification and review your information against national databases to assess creditworthiness, standing, and capacity.

By submitting your information, you agree to allow third-party providers to verify your information and check your credit in accordance with their policies and terms.
7. Security
We employ reasonable security precautions to protect the personal information you provide against loss, misuse, alteration, or unauthorized access. However, while we strive to safeguard your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security due to the inherent risks of data transmission over the internet.
8. Interest-Based Advertising
We may collaborate with ad networks and other ad serving providers (“Advertising Providers”) to serve ads on our behalf and others on non-affiliated sites. Some of these ads may be personalized based on information collected about your visits to our site and other sites over time. Advertising Providers use cookies to personalize advertisements on other websites. We do not change your browsing experience based on “Do Not Track” signals, as an industry-standard protocol has not yet been established.
You can learn more about this type of advertising and opt-out options by visiting www.cookiecentral.com and www.aboutads.info. Opting out may make the ads you see less relevant to your interests. If you use a different browser or delete cookies, you may need to renew your opt-out choice.
