WeÂ’re glad youÂ’re reviewing SMI Funding Privacy Policy! We appreciate the trust that our borrowers place in us when they disclose their personal information to us, and we take the protection of that information very seriously. 

 

In the page below, weÂ’ll try our best to make sure that you are crystal clear on how we might use your data. So, youÂ’ll find both the “legalese” version of our agreement on the left, and some helpful “real talk” language on the right. 

 

Above all else, we promise to be transparent about where your information is going and how itÂ’s being used. We realize that radical transparency may not be what youÂ’re used to when dealing with finance companies, but for us itÂ’s everything. ThatÂ’s why we will never sell your information to anyone, ever. That means youÂ’ll never receive unsolicited telemarketing calls from us. We only share your information with our lending partners with your consent.
