Affiliated Lending, LLC ("Affiliated Lending," "we," "us") makes business-purpose bridge loans secured by real property in Florida. This policy explains what information we collect through affiliated-lending.com (the "Site") and in connection with loan requests, how we use and share it, and the choices you have. By using the Site or submitting a loan request, you agree to this policy.
Information we collect
Information you give us. When you prepare a loan request, email us or apply for a loan, we collect:
- Contact information, such as your name, email address and phone number
- Information about the borrowing entity, its owners and guarantors
- Property information, such as the address, type, condition, estimated value and sale plans
- Existing financing, such as your current lender, loan balance and payoff
- Documents you provide during underwriting, such as entity documents, purchase or sale contracts, budgets, insurance and identification of guarantors
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting provider records standard server log data, such as IP address, browser type, pages visited and the date and time of the visit. The Site loads fonts from Google Fonts, which receives your IP address when the page loads. The Site does not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels. [Update this paragraph if you add analytics.]
Calculator entries. Numbers you enter in the payoff estimator stay in your browser and are not sent to us.
Information from others. With your authorization, we may obtain information from appraisers, title agents, existing lenders, public records, and credit or background reports on guarantors.
How we use information
- Respond to inquiries and evaluate loan requests
- Underwrite, document, close, service and collect loans
- Verify identity and prevent fraud
- Comply with law, regulation, legal process and anti-money-laundering requirements
- Operate, secure and improve the Site
- Send information about our loan programs, which you may opt out of at any time
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as follows:
- Loan service providers, such as appraisers, inspectors, title insurers and agents, closing and escrow agents, attorneys, insurers and loan servicers, as needed to evaluate, close and service a loan
- Affiliates, including the investment fund that funds our loans and its manager, and our affiliated law firm, Affiliated Lawyers, PLLC, and affiliated title agency, Affiliated Closings, if you choose to use their services. The principal of Affiliated Lending has ownership interests in both firms and may benefit financially when they provide services. You are never required to use either firm.
- Technology providers that host the Site, provide email and store our records, under obligations to protect the information
- Legal and safety: when required by law, subpoena or court order, or to protect our rights, collect a loan, or prevent fraud
- Business transfers: to a buyer, participant or assignee of a loan, or in connection with a merger, financing or sale of our business
Security and retention
We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect information. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so please do not email Social Security numbers or bank account numbers. We will provide a secure method for documents that contain them. We keep information for as long as needed for the purposes above and as required by law, including loan record-retention requirements.
Your choices
- You may ask to see, correct or delete personal information we hold about you, subject to legal and recordkeeping requirements, by emailing us.
- You may opt out of marketing emails at any time by replying "unsubscribe" or emailing us.
- The Site does not respond to "Do Not Track" browser signals, because it does not track visitors across sites.
Business-purpose lending only
Our loans are made to business entities for business purposes and are not consumer financial products. The Site is intended for business borrowers and is not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date above shows when it was last changed, and changes take effect when posted.
