Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains our views and practices concerning privacy, and how they may pertain to you as a user of our system.

“You” or “Your” means you, a participant in or as a user of the Title Loans Express program.
“We” or “Our” or “Us” means Title Loans Express. “Our Website” also means Title Loans Express.

All information transmitted, printed or otherwise submitted to Title Loans Express through this Website remains your property; however, Title Loans Express will be free to use that information for any lawful purpose as detailed below.

This Website contains links to other websites. Title Loans Express is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such sites.

Collected Information
Title Loans Express automatically collects and/or tracks the following information:

1. Information knowingly provided by you through online forms, registration forms such as your name, street address, e-mail address, telephone number (home, work and mobile), date of birth, information relating to monthly income, employment information, and other personal, financial or demographic information (collectively, “Sensitive Information”);
2. Web page http headers (home server domain names, IP address, type of client computer, type of Web browser and operating system);
3. Information (user-specific or aggregate) concerning the pages our visitors access and referring URLs; and
4. The e-mail addresses of visitors who communicate with Title Loans Express via e-mail.

Submitting information to us is voluntary. However, if you would like to receive information on a loan-related product from one of our network of third party loan providers (“Loan Providers”), you must submit the required information, even if you do not actually enter into a formal application with any Loan Provider.

Use of Data Collected
We use the information we collect to enhance your experience at our Website and to help us to offer content we determine may be of interest to you. We may also use your personal, demographic, and profile data to improve our Website, conduct statistical analysis, and for marketing, promotional, editorial, or feedback purposes. Information collected by us may be added to our databases and used for future e-mails or postal mailings of products and services.

Disclosure of Data to Third Parties
By using this Website, you agree that you may be contacted in any manner contemplated in this section even if your number is found on a do-not-call registry or similar registry. If you choose to provide personal information, it will be used for and/or shared with trusted third parties such as Loan Providers and/or other financial service providers, credit bureaus, and for marketing products and services that you might find of interest.

By submitting an application for credit, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to this Privacy Policy and that you authorize us to use your information to obtain other information about you from third-parties when the information was incompletely or improperly filled out on our registration form, or where additional information is needed to evaluate an application. Third-parties include, but are not limited to, consumer reporting agencies, consumer credit bureaus and other outside parties, as permitted or required by applicable laws. Any and all Sensitive Information that we collect from you, and from such third parties, as part of your loan application, will be used to determine where we route your application with the intent of matching you with a Loan Provider.

Your Credit
All of the lenders we work with can offer free rate quotes with no impact to your credit whatsoever. We have some Loan Providers that are able to issue pre-approval quotes without performing any credit check, and other Loan Providers that can issue pre-approvals and approvals via a soft credit check (no impact to your FICO credit score or rating). We have some Loan Providers, that once matched with, may need to collect additional information from you including your SSN, for the purpose of doing a soft credit inquiry to determine whether or not to extend potential offers to you. There is no impact to your credit score or rating when a lender performs a soft credit inquiry.

Once pre-approved by a Loan Provider we matched you with, we will hand you off to that lender for the purpose of you becoming their client, and helping you finalize your loan with them. During the process of finalizing your financing, some Loan Providers may need to perform a hard credit inquiry. Those Loan Providers will ask for your permission prior to doing so. For more information on the difference between hard and soft credit inquiries and how they may affect your credit score, please visit: https://www.experian.com/blogs/news/2012/09/17/credit-score-myths/.

When submitting an application for a loan request that requires a credit check in order for funding to be accomplished, you are providing written consent under the Fair Credit Reporting Act for Title Loans Express and its Loan Providers with whom you are matched to obtain consumer report information from your credit profile or other information from our contracted Credit Bureau. You understand and agree that you are submitting an application for credit, and are consenting to the use of your consumer report information by Title Loans Express and its Loan Providers to conduct anti-fraud security checks and evaluate your application for credit. Upon qualification, your ultimate loan-specific financial information will be stored and utilized by your applicable lender in accordance with the terms of that lender’s Privacy Policy. Therefore it is important that you thoroughly review that lender’s Privacy Policy carefully before executing any loan documents.

By submitting an application, you authorize us to verify all information that you have provided and acknowledge that this information may be used to verify certain past and/or current credit or payment history information from third party source(s). We may utilize Check Loan Verification or other similar consumer-reporting agency for these purposes. We may disclose all or some of the nonpublic personal information about you that we collect to financial service providers that perform services on our behalf, such as the servicer of your personal loan, and to financial institutions with which we have joint marketing arrangements. Such disclosures are made as necessary to effect, administer and enforce the loan you request or authorize and any loan you may request or authorize with other financial institutions with regard to the processing, funding, servicing, repayment and collection of your loan.

Information Sharing
Without limiting the foregoing, Title Loans Express reserves the right to release current or past user information under the following conditions:

* (1) Title Loans Express believes that the service and/or Website is being or has been used in violation of the Website’s Terms and Conditions or to commit unlawful acts,
* (2) as required by law or legal process, or
* (3) in connection with a business transfer, in which case the acquiring business would continue to be bound by this Privacy Policy.

By agreeing to these conditions, you hereby consent to disclosure of any record or communication to any third party, when Title Loans Express, in its sole discretion, determines the disclosure to be appropriate or necessary including, without limitation, sharing your e-mail address with other third-parties for suppression purposes in compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, as amended from time to time, and Federal Trade Commission enabling regulations.

Information Collection Processes
Title Loans Express may employ “cookies” to help customize your access to the Website. A cookie is a piece of data stored on your hard drive containing information about you. Cookies have many benefits to enhance your experience at our Website. For instance, by setting a cookie on our Website, a user can remain logged in for a period of time rather than having to log in repeatedly in a single session, thereby saving time while on our Website. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. Even in the case where a user rejects a cookie, they may still use our Website. The only drawback to this is that the user will be limited in what he/she can access in some areas on our Website, much like visitor-level access.

However, during registration and/or when you submit personally identifiable information to us at the Website, you have opted-in to request that we share your personal information (other than your Sensitive Information) with third parties for the purpose of funding your loan request.

In addition, if you subsequently sign up at third party websites for other product or service offerings, you will need to address any information sharing preferences to the operators of such websites.

Third Party Sites
In certain circumstances, Title Loans Express acts as a limited agent for the actual third party lender or seller of the products and/or services available at or through the Website. In these circumstances:

(a) you will be redirected to the applicable third party lender’s or seller’s website after you have completed the application page;
(b) we will collect and send your personal information to the respective third party lender or seller in connection with completing your application or purchase from the third party lenders or seller, as applicable; and

It is important that you review all Privacy Policies of any third party offers you sign-up for. We do not endorse and are not responsible for the accuracy of the privacy policies and/or terms and conditions of each of the third party lenders or sellers that may advertise at the Website. The entities that advertise and/or place banner ads at the Website including, but not limited to, these third party lenders and sellers, are independent third parties and are not affiliated with us.

Links
Title Loans Express contains links to other sites belonging to third parties. Please be aware that Title Loans Express is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by Title Loans Express even in cases where we may frame another site with our own. From time to time, we may co-brand certain services with third-party vendors and affiliates. It will be clear at the point of collection who is collecting such information and whose privacy statement governs. For example, without limiting the foregoing, we co-brand with insurance brokers, credit reporting agencies and automotive companies.

Warning: It is a scam if a lender looks to charge you money up-front or asks you to put money on any type of pre-paid debit card (like a GreenDot or Vanilla Visa) as insurance for a loan in order to achieve your financing. This is called an advance fee loan scam. None of our Loan Providers will require you to provide them with any amount of money in any way or form prior to receiving your loan. But many other sites on the Internet work with these fraudsters. Don’t become a victim. Click here to learn more about advance fee loan scams and how to spot to them.

We will only send your personal records to your e-mail address or postal address that we have on file for you.

You will be notified via e-mail in the event of such a breach. Please be advised that notice may be delayed in order to address the needs of law enforcement, determine the scope of network damage, and to engage in remedial measures.

You understand and agree that any dispute over privacy is subject to the terms and conditions of this privacy policy, as well as the terms and conditions of this website (including limitations on damages). You agree that the company’s liability for any breach of this privacy policy shall be limited to the value of the transactions or services provided to you by the company to the extent such claim is not otherwise barred by our terms and conditions.
