At Outside Financial, we work hard to safeguard your information from unauthorized access or disclosure. We value your trust, and we pledge to do our best to continue to earn it.
This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share the information you provide when you visit our website, receive our emails, and interact with our ads on other company’s websites.
Information We Collect
When you visit our site, we collect information that helps us create a more personalized experience for you and helps us to improve our marketing strategy. This includes information you give us directly – like when you fill out a form – and indirectly. We capture various forms of technical information, like your device’s IP address, your browser and version, your operating system, and which site or ad directed you to Outside Financial.
We may also receive information about you from publicly and commercially available sources, as permitted by law, which we may combine with other information we receive from or about you. For example, we may receive information about you from a social media site if you connect to us through that site.
Outside Financial (and third-party services working on behalf of Outside Financial like Google Analytics) may use cookies and pixel tags to track non-personal, aggregated information about people who click on our emails or visitors who stop by our site. A web or HTML cookie is a piece of data sent from a website that is stored on your computer by your web browser. Cookies help us to know how you’re interacting with our site. Without cookies, you’d have to fill out your name and password on every new page you viewed. You may set your browser to notify you when a cookie is sent or refuse cookies altogether, but certain features of our site might not work without cookies.
This website uses Mouseflow, a third-party analytics tool, to track page content and click/touch, movement, scroll, and keystroke activity. You can opt out at http://mouseflow.com/opt-out. This site also uses HotJar, a similar third-party analytics tool, to track page content. You can opt out at https://www.hotjar.com/legal/compliance/opt-out.
We may allow advertisements to be placed on our site by third-party organizations. These organizations may collect web-reporting data on their placed advertisements. We do not directly transmit information to advertising partners, but when you leave our site to go to one of theirs, some partners may capture information such as your incoming IP addresses or referral URL (that is, the address of our webpage). Our site may provide links to the sites of third parties that maintain their own privacy policies. You should review the privacy policy and terms of use of any sites you access.
If you would like more information about the use of third-party cookies and tags, or the process of opting out, please visit http://www.google.com/privacy.html.
How We Use Collected Information
Outside Financial uses the information we collect about you to recognize you when you return to our site and provide you with more relevant information, services, and marketing communications; to improve and customize our content; and for internal research, reporting, and record-keeping purposes. We also use the information to comply with applicable laws and security requirements.
Most importantly, we use the information you provide to us to fulfill requests you make of us, like finding you the right loan from one of our lender partners, or to respond to your requests for products, services, or information.
How We Share Collected Information
Outside Financial may share collected information with other parties, including:
Service providers, agents, or contractors authorized to perform services on our behalf, such as providing support for our internal operations or providing website analytics;
Related to a court order, subpoena, or other legal or government process or inquiry;
If we believe in good faith that we are required to do so by law, or that disclosure is necessary to prevent a crime, or to protect personal property, the public, or our site;
As part of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of Outside Financial; and
As otherwise disclosed at the time of collection or use.
PURPOSE
