3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:

Lending Partners and Financial Institutions

We share your application data with banks, credit unions, and other financing partners in our network for the purpose of processing your auto loan application and obtaining financing offers on your behalf. These partners are bound by their own privacy policies and applicable law.

Service Providers

We may share information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website, processing applications, sending communications, and providing customer support. These providers are contractually obligated to use your information only for the services they perform for us.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information when required by law, subpoena, court order, or other legal process, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, prevent fraud, or ensure the safety of our customers.

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our business assets, your personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email or a prominent notice on our website of any such change in ownership.

4. Credit Reporting and Inquiries

By submitting a credit application, you authorize Affinity Financial and its lending partners to obtain consumer credit reports from one or more consumer reporting agencies (such as Equifax, Experian, or TransUnion) for the purpose of evaluating your application. This may result in a hard or soft inquiry on your credit report depending on the stage of the application process. You have the right to request a free copy of your credit report from each of the three major credit bureaus once per year at AnnualCreditReport.com.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to protect your personal and financial information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted through our website, secure server infrastructure, and access controls limiting who within our organization may view sensitive application data. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
