What information we share

All financial companies need to share customers’ personal information to run their everyday business. Subject to any applicable legal exemptions including the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act, and/or the California Consumer Privacy Act, we may share your personal information, including non-public personal information with:

• Creditors that you request a conditional loan offers from or who decline to pre-approve you for a loan when you request a loan offer;
• Service providers who help with parts of our business operations such as fraud prevention, servicing, bill collection, debt collection, marketing and technology services, product development, and nonaffiliated financial institutions that we partner with to market or provide the products or services to you;
• Credit reporting agencies to report account information, at your direction and otherwise as permitted by law;
• Debt collection companies that purchase your loan from a Creditor if it has been charged off;
• Companies that we plan to merge with or be acquired by, or companies we plan to sell, divest or transfer all or a portion of our products and/or services to, including any back-up service provider or back-up administrator we, or any Creditor engage in the event we stop operating;
• Law enforcement, government officials, or other third parties when (1) we are compelled to do so by a subpoena, court order or similar legal procedure, (2) we need to do so to comply with law, or (3) if we believe in good faith that the disclosure of your personal information is necessary to prevent physical harm or financial loss or to report suspected illegal activity; and
• Other third parties but only if you consent or direct us to do so.

If you select a loan offer from Cross River Bank or FinWise Bank then when you sign your promissory note, your loans may automatically be allocated to investors as follows:

• Investors may purchase your loan directly from us. We provide information about you included in your application, including personally identifiable, financial, and credit information, and your loan terms to these investors and their agents and trustees in advance of their purchase of your loan.
• As the servicer of your loan we will also share information we obtain in servicing your loan, including about your repayments, to Upstart Network Trust and these investors, who become the Creditor of your loan, any subsequent purchaser of your loan, and each of their agents or trustees.

If you have an income share agreement, we will share your name and information about your repayment history with investors in your income share agreement.

Upstart will not sell or rent any of your personal information to third parties and only shares your personal information with third parties as described above.

Information that has been deidentified so that it does not identify a specific user is not considered personal information.

Federal and state laws allow you to restrict the sharing of your personal information in certain instances such as sharing your information so that third parties can market to you. However, because we will not share your information in these instances without your express consent, there is no need for you to opt-out from the information we share.

How we protect your information

We care about the security of your information and take reasonable measures designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use by maintaining physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in compliance with applicable law. These measures include computer safeguards and secured files and buildings.

You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information, and for controlling access to your email communications from us at all times. However, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or guarantee that information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.

In the event that any information under our control is compromised as a result of a breach of security, we will take reasonable steps to investigate the situation and where appropriate, notify those individuals whose information may have been compromised and take other steps, in accordance with any applicable laws and regulations.

Links to or from other websites and services

We are not responsible for the practices employed by any third party, or websites or services linked to or from the Site, including any information or content they contain. Please remember that when you use a link from a third party to visit our Site, or use a link to go from the Site to another website, our Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party websites or services. Your browsing and interaction on any third-party website or service, including those that have a link or advertisement on the Site, are subject to that third party’s own rules and policies, including their terms and conditions and privacy practices. In addition, you agree that we are not responsible and we do not control over any third-parties that you authorize to access your user content. If you are using a third-party website or service (like LinkedIn) and you allow such a third-party access to your user content, you do so at your own risk.

How you can access or change your personal information

You can review and edit some of your personal information at any time by logging into the Site.

Information for California consumers

This section provides additional details about the personal information we collect about California consumers and the rights afforded to them under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”).

In the last 12 months, we collected the following categories of personal information: identifiers (such as name and contact information), demographic information (such as age and gender), commercial information (such as products purchased), internet or other electronic network activity information (such as browsing behavior), geolocation data, audio, electronic, visual or similar information (such as customer support calls), and inferences we make (such as preferred activities). For more details about the personal information we collect, including the categories of sources, please see the “What information we collect” section above. We collect this information for the business and commercial purposes described in the “How we use information” section above. We share this information with the categories of third parties described in the “What information we share” section above.

Subject to certain exemptions, the CCPA provides California consumers the right to request to know more details about the categories and specific pieces of personal information we collect, to delete their personal information, to opt out of any “sales” that may be occurring, and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. If your information falls into one of the legal exemptions included in the CCPA, we may be unable to fulfill your request.

We do not “sell” the personal information we collect (and will not sell it in the future without providing a right to opt out). We do allow third parties to collect personal information through our services and share personal information with third parties for the business purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including without limitation advertising and marketing on our services and elsewhere based on users’ online activities over time and across different sites, services, and devices.

California consumers may make a rights request by visiting this page.
