Privacy & Policy

Welcome to ,strong>CheckLoanRates.online (“we,” “us,” “our”). We value your privacy and are committed to handling your personal information transparently, securely, and in compliance with applicable laws and the Online Lenders Alliance (OLA) Best Practices.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal information when you visit our website or use our services.

1. About Our Services

CheckLoanRates.online is a lead generation and marketing platform that connects consumers with financial service providers, lenders, and other partners who may offer personal loan or credit products.

We are not a lender, broker, or agent of any lender. We do not make credit decisions or originate loans. Our role is to help you find potential loan options by matching your information with one or more third-party lenders or service providers.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information directly from you and automatically through your use of our website.

Information You Provide

When you complete forms or request information, we may collect:

  • Name, address, phone number, and email address
  • Date of birth and employment details
  • Income and banking information (if applicable for matching purposes)
  • Social Security number (only if required by a participating lender)

Information Collected Automatically

We may collect:

  • IP address, browser type, and operating system
  • Device identifiers and location data
  • Pages visited and actions taken on our site
  • Cookies or similar tracking technologies

All data is collected over a secure HTTPS connection and stored in encrypted format consistent with OLA’s Data Security Best Practices (Section VI).

3. How We Use Your Information

We may use your information to:

  • Match you with lenders or financial service providers
  • Provide you with offers or information related to loan products
  • Improve our website, user experience, and marketing efforts
  • Comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements

We will never sell your bank account or Social Security information and will only share such information for legitimate loan-matching purposes in compliance with OLA Best Practices (Section II & VI).

4. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We may share your information with:

  • Lenders, financial institutions, and marketing partners to connect you with available loan products.
  • Service providers and vendors that support website operations, fraud prevention, or customer service.
  • Regulatory authorities or as required by law.

Your Choices

You may opt out of:

  • Receiving marketing communications from us by using the unsubscribe link in emails.
  • Information sharing with non-affiliated third parties by contacting us at privacy@checkloanrates.online.

We will honor all opt-out requests within 10 business days, as required by the CAN-SPAM Act and OLA Best Practices.

5. Lead Generation Disclosures

CheckLoanRates.online is a marketing network that may receive compensation from lenders or partners when your information results in a connection or loan.

Compensation may influence the display or order of offers presented to you. We do not guarantee loan approval, specific rates, or terms — those are determined solely by the lender.

Example disclosure per OLA:

“CheckLoanRates.online is an advertising network. We are compensated by the lenders or other businesses to which we may refer you. This may impact which offers you are presented. We encourage you to compare loan options independently to find the best solution for your needs.”

6. Data Security

We employ administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect your information, including:

  • Encrypted data storage and transfer (TLS/SSL)
  • Access controls and employee background checks
  • Secure destruction of personal data when no longer required

We regularly audit our systems and vendors for compliance with OLA Data Security Best Practices and federal privacy laws such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA).

If we detect a security incident that may affect your information, we will promptly notify you consistent with applicable law and OLA guidelines.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to improve your experience and measure campaign effectiveness.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

We do not track users across third-party websites for behavioral advertising without notice and consent, in compliance with FTC and OLA Mobile & Internet Marketing Best Practices.

8. Consumer Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access and request copies of your information
  • Request correction or deletion of your personal data
  • Withdraw consent for certain data uses

To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@checkloanrates.online. We will respond within 30 days in accordance with applicable privacy laws.
