Privacy Policy

01 Information We Collect

In a real deployment, we might collect information you provide directly — such as your name, business name, email, phone, and funding details — along with technical data like IP address, browser type, and pages visited. On this demonstration Site, form entries are processed only in your browser and are not sent to any server.

02 How We Use Information

Information would typically be used to:

• Respond to applications and inquiries;
• Provide, maintain, and improve the Site and services;
• Communicate updates, offers, and relevant content (with your consent);
• Detect, prevent, and address fraud or security issues;
• Comply with legal obligations.

03 Cookies & Tracking

This Site uses your browser's local storage to remember your cookie-consent choice so the consent banner is not shown again. A production site might also use cookies and similar technologies for analytics and preferences. You can manage cookies through your browser settings at any time.

04 Sharing & Third Parties

We do not sell personal information. In a real deployment, information might be shared with service providers (such as hosting and analytics vendors) under contract, with lending partners to facilitate a funding request, or as required by law. This demonstration shares no data because it collects none.

05 Data Security

A production site would use safeguards such as encryption in transit (TLS), access controls, and monitoring to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

06 Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your personal information, and to opt out of certain processing. To exercise these rights in a real deployment, you would contact us using the details below. We would not discriminate against you for exercising any right.

07 Children's Privacy

The Site is intended for business owners and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information, please contact us so it can be removed.

08 Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the Site after any change indicates your acceptance of the revised Policy.
