Privacy Policy
What information does Cap One Lending, LLC ask for and how is it used?
Cap One Lending, LLC will ask you for several pieces of information to process your loan application. Among these are social security numbers, employment history, and assets and liabilities you hold. We make every effort to protect our partners, affiliates, and individual consumers, but we do not control the privacy policies or business practices of third-party Web sites. When our business partners and affiliates register for services provided by Cap One Lending, LLC, they are asked to provide certain information such as their name, business address, contact information, and company description. We only ask for this information so that our account managers and Web site coordinators can maintain quick, effective communication and constantly personalize our business services to your requirements. Your registration, contact information, and any passwords you may be issued are also required for your secure movement and transaction processing throughout our Web sites.
However, certain third-party Web sites to which we provide links or that are hosted by Cap One Lending, LLC for public use have different or additional terms of use, (including different privacy policies), which you should read so that you fully understand uses of personal information by third parties who are partnered or affiliated with Cap One Lending, LLC. Because Cap One Lending, LLC does not control activity on any third-party Web sites, even when hosted by Cap One Lending, LLC, Cap One Lending, LLC makes no representation concerning the use and/or disclosure of any information provided to such third-party Web sites.
Do I get to choose what information I disclose?
Yes, our business partners and affiliates can always choose whether or not to disclose personal or business information through Cap One Lending, LLC. Certain information is of course required for registration and to establish and securely manage your Cap One Lending, LLC account, but other requested information may be optional. Specific questions about what information is currently required should be addressed to the account manager and Web site coordinator who establish your account.
Who has access to the information that I provide to Cap One Lending, LLC?
We use basic information that we collect to make your business relationship with Cap One Lending, LLC more productive and tailored to your individual preferences. We require specific additional information when you subscribe to some customized services, and we store that information in secure databases. We share some aggregate statistical data with companies from which we obtain analytically and marketing services or partnerships. These companies do not have access to our secure database, and we never provide these companies with access to any consumers’ financial, personal, or loan transaction information that we store on behalf of our business partners and affiliates. From time to time, we may be asked to disclose such information to third parties as part of a legal proceeding (i.e., subpoenas and criminal investigations); in such cases, Cap One Lending, LLC will disclose personally identifiable information as required by law.
What if I need to change the personal or business information I previously disclosed?
All changes in our partners’ and affiliates’ contact or business information should be sent immediately to the account manager and Web site coordinator who manage your account. Private consumers who use the mortgage services of our partners and broker affiliates should contact them directly by e-mail or by phone to update personal and loan account information.
Who can I contact if I have any questions regarding my privacy?
If you have specific questions about Cap One Lending, LLC, you can contact us directly through our e-mail “info” address provided below. For more general information, we recommend the Web site published by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, which includes news and commentary about privacy protection on the Worldwide Web; or go directly to their FTC Search page, enter the words “Internet privacy” (without quotes) in the text field, and hit the Search button.
What is a “cookie” and how does it work?
We occasionally use software “cookies” (tiny data files sent to and stored by the client computer’s web-browser software) to let you use our services more efficiently and to let us keep track of statistical traffic information that helps us improve our Web site. One extremely valuable service provided by cookies is that they can save many preferences that you have established for navigation, searching, and shopping in your favorite Web sites. After your computer has requested and received a cookie from an Internet server, the cookie simply allows you to visit Web site pages repeatedly without having to reintroduce yourself each time you return. No other user’s computer on the Worldwide Web will have that same cookie, and only the Web site that issued that cookie can later retrieve it. A Web site can transmit one or (rarely) more cookies to the user’s browser software, and each may have a very different purpose. Cookies from our server contain only information which a user volunteers, or which guarantees the secure transmission of their data across the Internet, or which can automatically disconnect a user’s “log-in” session after a period of inactivity (in case you go to lunch but forget to “log off”).
Some Cap One Lending, LLC Website services may not function correctly if the user’s browser software cannot accept cookies. Recent versions of Web browsers can be customized so that a cookie is always accepted — but only after the user is advised and consents.
Cookie Choices in Your NETSCAPE® Browser:
Beginning with version 4.0, Netscape Navigator gives users the power to control cookies. In version 4.0 and higher, you can activate your “Cookie Alert” by pulling down the Edit menu and selecting Preferences. Click Advanced Settings at the bottom of the dialog box, and choose from the following:
- Accept all cookies.
- Accept only cookies that get sent back to the originating server.
- Disable cookies.
Another option is for Navigator to warn you before accepting a cookie. Every time there is an incoming cookie, a dialog box will ask if you want to accept it.
Cookie Choices in Your MICROSOFT® Browser:
Beginning with version 4.0, Microsoft Internet Explorer gives users the power to control cookies. To enable cookies within Internet Explorer 4.0 and higher, select View | Internet Options and go to the Advanced tab. Scroll down to the Security section and select “Always accept cookies”. If the user wants to see each cookie that the browser receives, they should select “Prompt before accepting cookies” in the Advanced tab and a Security Alert dialog will appear before a cookie is accepted.
CAVEAT WEB-SURFER:
Before choosing to have your Web browser warn you of all incoming cookies, keep in mind that some web pages may have more than 100 cookies and you will be notified about each one separately.
