Get Your Personal Loan Up To $5,000

Last Updated: 01.29.2026

mybearloan.com (“we,” “our,” “us”) provides this Privacy Policy to describe how we collect, use, disclose, and protect Personal Information when you visit our website.

We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy and to use it to help you make informed decisions.

We revise this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our business, Services, or applicable laws. If a revised version requires notice in accordance with applicable law, we will provide advance notice by posting on this page; otherwise, the revised Privacy Policy will be effective as of the published effective date.

HOW THIS POLICY APPLIES

This Policy has two parts so you can clearly see which rules apply to which data uses:

Part A — GLBA/FCRA (“GLBA Track”)
Applies to nonpublic personal information (NPI) collected in connection with your loan offer request, and to any credit information we obtain with your written instructions (e.g., a soft credit inquiry) to evaluate you for alternative financial solutions.
Part B — State Privacy Laws (“State Track”)
Applies only to NPI processed on this site that is not subject to GLBA/FCRA—for example, site telemetry, or advertising/analytics outside of the GLBA context.

If information you submit relates to a financial-product request, GLBA controls even if the same identifiers also appear in other contexts.

PART A — GLBA/FCRA PRIVACY NOTICE

PRIVACY POLICY
FACTS	WHAT DO WE DO WITH YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
Why?	Financial companies choose how they share your personal information. Federal law gives consumers the right to limit some but not all sharing. Federal law also requires us to tell you how we collect, share, and protect your personal information. Please read this notice carefully to understand what we do.
What?	The types of personal information we collect and share depend on the product or service you have with us. This information can include: • Identifiers and contact information (e.g., name, email, phone numbers, address). • Application/request information (e.g., date of birth, military and employment status, employer and job title, time at job and address, income and pay details, requested amount and purpose, whether you own a car or home, mortgage status, self-reported credit score or debt amount, best time to call). • Sensitive identifiers (e.g., Social Security number; driver’s license number and issuing state). • Financial account information (e.g., bank name, routing and account number, account type, time with bank, direct deposit status). • Transaction and experience information related to your request and interactions with us (e.g., submission dates, servicing and customer support records, survey responses). • Credit information (e.g., results of a soft inquiry obtained with your written instructions; not shared with third parties; participating lenders may obtain credit reports directly from consumer reporting agencies). • Technical and security data used to protect and process your request (e.g., IP address and device/user-agent, cookies/session identifiers used for fraud prevention, authentication, and consent logging; not used for cross-context behavioral advertising).
How?	All financial companies need to share customers’ personal information to run their everyday business. In the section below, we list the reasons financial companies can share their customers’ personal information; the reasons we choose to share; and whether you can limit this sharing.
SHARING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Reasons We Can Share Your Personal Information				Do We Share?	Can You Limit Sharing?
For our everyday business purposes — to process your request, verify identity, prevent fraud, evaluate eligibility, and route/transmit your information (including via a lender “ping” process) to participating Lenders/Networks or Third-party Marketers - personal-finance-related service providers at your direction				Yes	No
For our everyday business purposes — information about your creditworthiness (e.g., enabling an FCRA-permitted soft inquiry pursuant to your written instructions; Lenders obtain reports directly from CRAs)				Yes	No
For our marketing purposes — to market our own websites and Services to you (e.g., to bring you back to complete your request)				Yes	No (communications preferences/TCPA & CAN-SPAM still apply)
For joint marketing with other financial companies				No	We don’t share
For our affiliates’ everyday business purposes — information about transactions and experiences				No	We don’t share
For our affiliates’ everyday business purposes — information about your creditworthiness				No	We don’t share
For our affiliates to market to you				No	We don’t share
For nonaffiliates to market to you				Yes	Yes (consent/ direction exception applies)*
*Clarification about exception: When Lenders/ Networks contact you about the credit you asked us to match you for, that disclosure occurs to effect, administer, or enforce your requested transaction and/or at your direction. It is not a “nonaffiliate marketing” share. Non-selected recipients in the ping process are contractually prohibited from contacting you and must not retain your information. We disclose your information to Lenders/ Networks and Third-party Marketers at your direction (consent), so they can contact you about their products. We retain records of your direction.
To Limit Our Sharing			Email contact@mybearloan.com with subject “GLBA opt-out” and include your name, email, and phone number used on your request. What this does: Your choice limits our sharing of your nonpublic personal information with non-affiliated third parties so they can market their own products to you. What it doesn’t limit: This choice does not limit disclosures needed to evaluate, effect, administer, or enforce your current request (including lender “ping” eligibility checks), disclosures to our service providers/contractors acting on our behalf. Duration & scope: Your choice remains in effect until you tell us otherwise. We will apply it as soon as reasonably practicable and include your preference when we share leads. When you are no longer our customer, we continue to share your information as described in this notice. However, you can contact us at any time to limit our sharing.
