1. What Information We Collect

Money Wise Lenders actively and directly collects information from you when you: create an online account, create a search, sign up for our newsletter, give a rating or review, take a survey, fill out an online form, enter a promotion, or engage with us.

Some information you submit may be personally identifiable information that can be uniquely identified with you such as full name, address or location, email address, phone number, etc. Some areas of the Site may require you to submit information for you to benefit from a wide range of exclusive features (such as email alerts or information requests). You will be informed at each information collection point on what information is required and optional.

We collect the following information from you and about you:

Contact Information – We may ask about your personal information such as name, address or location, telephone or mobile number, or email address.
Information You Share and Submit – We collect information that you choose to share.
Log Files: As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes IP addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information to maintain and improve the performance of the Services.
Analytics: We use analytics services (including, but not limited to, Google Analytics) to help analyze how users use the Site. Analytics services use cookies to collect information such as how often users visit the Site and we use the information to improve our Site and Services. The analytics services’ ability to use and share information collected by them is restricted by their terms of use and privacy policy, which you should refer to for more information about how these entities use this information.
Location Information: If you have enabled location services on your mobile device, we may collect your location information to improve the Services we offer. This enables us to provide location-based services. If you wish to change our access or permissions, you may do so in your device’s settings.
Cookies: “Cookies” are small pieces of information (text files) that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing the website. These text files can be used by websites to make the users’ experience more efficient. The law states that we can store these cookies on your device if they are strictly necessary for the operation of this Site. For all other types of cookies, we need your permission. To that end, this Site uses different types of cookies. Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. We and some third parties may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our Services and to market the Services. Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user and thereby more valuable for publishers and third-party advertisers. This tracking is done on an anonymous basis and, while not an exhaustive list, some of the companies we work with are Google, AppNexus, Criteo, Rubicon, Pubmatic, and DistrictM.

2. Use of Your Personal Information

We use this anonymous data to analyze requests and usage patterns so that we may enhance the content of our Services and improve Site functionality. We reserve the right to use anonymous data for any purpose and disclose anonymous data to third parties at our sole discretion.

8. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

CCPA is the first state law in the country to mandate the posting of a privacy policy on commercial websites and online services. The law’s reach extends well beyond California, requiring anyone or any organization operating websites in the United States (or perhaps the entire world) that collect personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a clear privacy policy on their website, adhere to it, and disclose exactly what information is being collected and with whom it will be shared.

According to CCPA, we agree to the following:

Access to our website is open to anonymous users. As soon as this privacy policy is finished, a link to it will be added to our home page or, at the very least, the first important page you see when you visit our website. The phrase “Privacy” appears in our Privacy Policy link, which is prominently displayed on the page mentioned above.

Users will be notified of any privacy policy changes:

Fair Information Practices

The Fair Information Practices Principles are the cornerstone of American privacy legislation, and the ideas they encompass have had a big impact on the evolution of data protection laws all over the world. Compliance with the different privacy regulations that safeguard personal information requires an understanding of the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be put into practice.

In order to be in line with the Fair Information Practices Principles, we will take the following responsive action should a data breach occur:

We will notify the users via in-site notifications

We also concur with the Individual Redress Principle, which mandates that people can legally hold negligent data collectors and processors accountable. This concept mandates that people have recourse to courts or government entities to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors, in addition to having enforceable rights against data users.

Cookie Usage

This section describes how we use the cookies, and why these cookies are stored on your device. We will also share how you can prevent these cookies from being stored. However, this may downgrade or ‘break’ certain elements of the Site’s functionality.

A ‘cookie’ is a bit of information that a website sends to your web browser that helps the website remember information about you and your preferences.

‘Session’ cookies are temporary bits of information that are used to improve navigation, block visitors from providing information that is inappropriate (the website ‘remembers’ previous entries of age or country of origin that were outside the specified parameters and blocks subsequent changes), and collect aggregate statistical information on the website. They are erased once you exit your web browser or otherwise turn off your computer.

How We Use Cookies

If you create an account with us, we will use cookies for the management of the sign-up process and general administration. We usually store cookies on your computer during the registration process for you to resume where you left off, remembering your registered login, preferences, and other customization functions. These cookies will usually be deleted when you log out; however, in some cases, they may remain afterward to remember your Site preferences when logged out.

Third-Party Cookies

In some cases, cookies provided by trusted third parties might be used. The sections below detail which third-party cookies you might encounter through this Site.

Our Site also uses social media buttons and/or plugins that allow you to connect with your social platforms in various ways. For these to work, social media websites, such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, etc., will set cookies through our Site that may be used to enhance your profile on their website or contribute to the data they hold for various purposes outlined in their respective privacy policies.

You have the option to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies in your browser settings or manage preferences in internet security programs.
