Privacy Policy
Effective Date: September 17, 2026
The Funding Office respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect information when you visit our website, contact us, or submit information to explore business funding options.
Information We Collect
We may collect information that you provide directly to us, including:
Your name, email address, phone number, business name, business address, and other contact information.
Information about your business, including time in business, annual revenue, industry, entity type, funding purpose, requested funding amount, and other information relevant to potential funding options.
Information you provide through contact forms, funding inquiry forms, emails, phone conversations, or other communications with us.
If additional financial or credit-related information is needed as part of a funding process, you may be asked to provide that information directly to The Funding Office or to a third-party funding or service partner. Any credit inquiry or authorization will be presented to you as part of the applicable process.
We may also automatically collect limited technical information when you use our website, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, referring pages, pages visited, and general website usage information.
How We Use Information
We may use the information we collect to:
Respond to your questions or requests.
Understand your business funding needs.
Identify funding products, providers, or other options that may be relevant to your business.
Communicate with you about your inquiry or application.
Assist with the submission or coordination of information to funding partners when you choose to move forward.
Operate, maintain, secure, and improve our website and services.
Measure website usage and the effectiveness of our marketing.
Comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations.
Sharing Information With Funding Partners
The Funding Office works with third-party funding providers, platforms, service providers, and other business funding partners.
When you request that we explore funding options, information you provide may be shared with one or more of these partners when reasonably necessary to evaluate potential funding opportunities, obtain available options, or assist with a funding request.
Those third parties may have their own privacy policies, terms, eligibility requirements, underwriting standards, and information practices. Their handling of your information is governed by their own policies once information is provided to them.
Submitting information to The Funding Office does not guarantee approval, funding, or any particular financing terms.
Credit Information
Exploring funding options may involve the review of personal or business credit information.
When a credit inquiry is required, the applicable authorization and disclosure will be provided before the inquiry is conducted. Depending on the provider and funding product, the inquiry may be a soft credit inquiry or another type of credit review.
The Funding Office does not represent that every funding provider uses the same credit process or eligibility standards.
Service Providers
We may use third-party companies to help operate our website and business, including website hosting, form processing, analytics, communications, customer relationship management, advertising, and other business services.
These providers may process information on our behalf as necessary to perform their services.
Cookies and Analytics
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors use the site, maintain website functionality, measure performance, and evaluate marketing activity.
We may use third-party analytics or advertising tools that collect information about website visits and interactions.
You may be able to limit cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect some website functionality.
Communications
If you submit an inquiry, we may contact you by email or phone regarding your request, your potential funding options, information needed to evaluate your request, or other matters directly related to the services you requested.
Where required, separate consent may be requested for text messages, automated communications, or marketing communications.
You may ask us to stop non-essential marketing communications at any time.
Mobile information will not be sold or shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Information may be shared with service providers or funding partners as necessary to respond to your funding request, provide requested services, or comply with legal obligations.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information in our possession.
No method of transmitting or storing information electronically is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data Retention
We may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, maintain business and compliance records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and meet legal or operational requirements.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.
Your Choices
You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of information that we maintain about you, subject to applicable legal, regulatory, contractual, or recordkeeping requirements.
You may also ask us to stop sending non-essential marketing communications.

Our website may contain links to websites, applications, or services operated by third parties.
The Funding Office is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or policies of third-party websites or services. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing information.
