• Our information request forms require users to give us contact information (like their name, phone number, and email address) and financial information (like their desired loan amount, and their debt situation). The user is explicitly informed that they may be contacted by one or more of our customers if they submit the information request form. The user’s contact information is shared with other companies who are customers of SLRS that may want to contact our users. Each participating customer’s own privacy statement will then apply to this transferred information. In no way is any of the information submitted by the users sold to any third parties that are not our customers. Financial information that is collected is used solely by our customers for the purpose of better serving the user’s request.
• The website automatically receives and records information on our server logs from your browser, including your IP address, cookie information, and the page you request.

In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, SLRS may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries.

Because we do not employ tracking technology we offer no response to Do Not Track requests transmitted by Web browsers.
