Last Updated: March 20, 2024

Leif Agency Ltd. d/b/a nationwideloans.live ("Company" "we" or "our") is committed to advising you of the right to your privacy, and strives to provide a safe and secure user experience. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, store and use personal information provided by you on our Website. It also explains how we collect and use non-personal information. By accessing and using our Website, you explicitly accept, without limitation or qualification, the collection, use and transfer of the personal information and non-personal information in the manner described in this Privacy Policy. Please read this Policy carefully, as it affects your rights and liabilities under the law. If you disagree with the way we collect and process personal and non-personal information, please do not use this Website.

What Information Do We Collect and How?

Anonymous and Aggregated Web Traffic Information.

General traffic, site usage, browser information, length-of-stay information, and location data is collected and stored in log files. This type of information is collected and shared on an anonymous, aggregated basis meaning that we do not connect this information to your name or other personal information.

Personal Information (non-financial).

We collect all or some of the following personal information: first and last name, phone number, email address, cell phone number, date of birth, age, military affiliation, educational background, mailing address, employer, work phone number, driver’s license, social security number, and zip code in the following contexts:

Requests for Service: To start the process of getting connected with a Service Provider, we collect the above personal information on the Loan Request form on our home page.
Other Requests: We collect information volunteered by users, including from requests via the Contact Us Form on our website. We also may collect email addresses of those who communicate with us via email.

Financial Information.

When you request service through one of our our Loan or other Financial Service Request forms, we also collect your bank name, bank account type, bank account number, bank routing number, months at your bank, pay dates, loan request amount, loan purpose, monthly income, pay period, primary source of income, the total amount of your debt and the type of debt (i.e. credit card debt, personal loan debt), information about your estimated credit score, income source and amount, employment information, and information about asset ownership.

Categories of Sources.

We collect information from the following categories of sources:

Directly from you. For example, when you complete online forms or use our website to utilize our services.
Third Parties. For example, when we receive data from an affiliate, aggregator, publisher, marketer, lead generator, referring website or advertising campaign.

We may combine personal information we collect from you with other information about you that we receive from third party sources. Service Providers that purchase your information may also supplement your personal information with other information about you that they obtained from other sources.

What We Do with the Information We Collect:

We use anonymous and aggregated information to operate, develop and improve our services.

We process your personal information for the legitimate interest of connecting you with a Service Provider. We may use your financial information for the purpose of connecting you with a Service Provider.

By submitting your contact information to us, you are expressly consenting to be contacted by us or by one or more Service Providers by telephone, email or postal mail. Your information may be going to an aggregator or marketer and not a lender, financial service provider, or debt relief provider. Your information can be sold multiple times leading to multiple offers from lenders, financial service providers, debt relief providers, aggregators, and other marketers.

In addition, we may share some or all of your information with third party marketers and list managers with whom we have a business relationship, and these third party marketers and list managers may use your personal information to communicate with you about other marketing or business offers via telephone, email, direct mail, text message (std. text message rates may apply), or other channels.

We may also use or disclose your information where we conclude that we are required by law or have a good faith belief that access, preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of nationwideloans.live, its users or the public.

Processing your information for the purposes described is necessary for us to do what we do and it's in both of our interests. When we use your information based on our legitimate interests, we conduct a balancing test based on the legitimate interest, necessity of processing your information, and how such processing impacts you.

If you have any questions or concerns with us processing your information for this legitimate interest, please contact us.

We'll ask for your consent before using your information for a purpose that extends beyond what you may reasonably expect from a company offering referrals to a marketplace of lenders, financial service providers, or debt relief providers and that has a more significant privacy impact.

nationwideloans.live works with trusted vendors in the following categories to help fulfill our mission and process your information for the purposes described: call center services, delivering email, and storing data. We will only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service, and they are contractually prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.

As we continue to develop our business, we may buy or sell businesses or assets. In such transactions, confidential customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets. In the event of a transaction involving the sale of some or all of nationwideloans.live's businesses, customer and site visitor information may be one of the transferred assets and may be disclosed in connection with negotiations relating to a proposed transaction. In such case, the transferred information may become subject to a different privacy policy.

Third Party Advertisers

These advertisers may use their own tracking technologies, including cookies, to collect information about you and other users of this website who view or interact with their advertisements. Please be advised that when you click on an advertiser's advertisement on our website, you may be redirected to a different website operated by that advertiser or that advertiser's marketing partner.
