Privacy policy

This policy explains what information Direct Tribal Loans collects, how we use and share it, and the choices you have.

01

Information we collect

We collect information you give us on our request form, such as your name, address, email, phone number, date of birth, income, employment, the loan amount and purpose, bank account details and the last four digits or full Social Security number where lenders require it.

We also collect technical information automatically when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages viewed and referring site, using cookies and similar technologies.

02

How we use information

We use your information to process your loan request and share it with lenders and lending partners who may make you an offer, to verify your identity and prevent fraud, to communicate with you about your request, and to operate, secure and improve our site.

With your consent where required, we may also send you marketing messages about financial products. You can opt out of marketing at any time.

03

How we share information

We share the information in your request with lenders and lending partners in our network, which may include tribal lending entities, so they can review your request. These companies may share it with their own service providers and may verify it with consumer reporting agencies.

We also share information with service providers that host our site, deliver email and text messages, and detect fraud, under contracts that limit their use of it. We may disclose information when required by law or to protect our rights. We do not sell your information for money; sharing your request with lenders is how our service works.

04

Cookies and tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working, remember preferences, measure traffic and understand which pages are useful. Some cookies are set by analytics or advertising partners.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how the request form works.

05

Your choices and rights

You can opt out of marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link in any email, and out of text messages by replying STOP. Depending on your state, you may have the right to know what information we hold, to correct it, to delete it and to opt out of certain sharing.

To make a request, email [email protected] with the subject line "Privacy request." We will verify your identity before responding. Lenders that received your request have their own privacy policies; contact them directly to exercise rights with them.

06

Data security and retention

We protect information with encryption in transit, access controls and monitoring. No system is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We keep information for as long as needed to provide our service, meet legal and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes and enforce agreements, and then delete or de-identify it.

07

Children and changes

Our site is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If we learn that we have, we will delete it.

We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date at the top shows when it was last changed. Significant changes will be highlighted on this page.

08
