What Information We Collect and Maintain About You


We collect personal and other information from you directly when you provide it to us through the website. We may also automatically collect certain information about you and your computer, smartphone, or other device when you use, access, or interact with our Site. We also collect information offline related to our lending/refinancing services. 


Personal information collected in relation to our lending/refinancing services. In order to connect you with the right lenders or financial institutions, users of our lending/refinancing services are required to provide certain personal information such as name, address, e-mail address, social security number and income. This and other information such as your credit history and credit score may be obtained and provided to certain participating lenders or financial institutions for an offer decision. You may provide this information when you go through our loan application process; sign up for other products or services through WithClutch; when you provide information to us through a third-party application, service or website; when you communicate with us regarding our services through email or other means; or when you participate in any of our marketing initiatives. We may also collect this information (such as consumer reports) from third parties (such as consumer reporting agencies). 


Depending on the product, we may collect the following information about you from either your directly or from third parties: 

 

  • Application Information: You provide this on your application, through your agent or broker, by phone, or online. We may also obtain it from directories and other outside sources. It includes your name, street and e-mail addresses, phone number, driver's license number, Social Security number, date of birth, gender, marital status, and type of vehicle. It also includes information about other drivers.

We may obtain credit information for some insurance coverage, but not for personal auto and certain other personal insurance products. We do obtain name and address information from credit reporting agencies for these products. Consumer reporting agencies keep this information and disclose it to others as permitted by law. 
     

  • Transaction Information: This is information about your transactions with us, our affiliated lenders, or others. It includes your insurance coverages, limits and rates, and payment and claims history. It also includes information that we require for billing and payment.

 

Personal information collected in other contexts. If you are not utilizing our lending/refinancing services and are instead using other features on the Site, such as our “Careers” section, or if you contact us with any questions, we may collect personal information from you, such as your name, contact information, and any other information related to your request. 


Server logs.  Server logs automatically record information and details about your online interactions with us. For example, server logs may record information about your visit to the Site on a particular time and day and collect information such as your device ID or IP address. 
 

Pixel tags. A pixel tag (also known as a web beacon, clear GIF, pixel, or tag) is an image or a small string of code that may be placed in an advertisement, or email. It allows companies to set or read cookies or transfer information to their servers when you load a webpage or interact with online content. For example, we or our service providers may use pixel tags to determine whether you have interacted with a specific part of our Services, viewed a particular advertisement, or opened a specific email. 
 

Cookies.  We also use cookies on the Site.  Cookies are small files that are stored on your computer by your web browser. A cookie allows the Site to recognize whether you have visited before and may store user preferences and other information.  For example, cookies can be used to collect or store information about your use of the Site during your current session and over time (including the pages you view and the files you download), your computer’s operating system and browser type, your Internet service provider, your domain name and IP address, your general geographic location, the website that you visited before the Site, and the link you used to leave the Site.  If you are concerned about having cookies on your computer, you can set your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being set, allowing you to decide whether to accept it.  You can also delete cookies from your computer.  However, if you choose to block or delete cookies, certain features of the Site may not operate correctly. 


Third-party online tracking.  We also may partner with certain third parties to collect, analyze, and use some of the personal and other information described in this section.  For example, we may allow third parties to set cookies or use web beacons on the Site or in email communications from us.  This information may be used for a variety of purposes, including website analytics, as discussed below (see the section entitled “How we share your information”).


Aggregated and deidentified information.  From time to time, we may also collect and share aggregated or deidentified information about Site users, such as by publishing a report on trends in the usage of the Site. Such aggregated or deidentified information will not identify you personally.

With Whom and Why We Share Your Information 


We share your information with other parties for a variety of purposes, as described below.


With lenders/financial institutions to offer our Services. Your submitted application through WithClutch starts the processing of finding you the best possible interest rate from our lending base. Our technology will match your credit profile and needs to the correct borrower profile and send to appropriate lender first. By submitting your application to us., you consent us to the use of your credit report for the purpose of obtaining a credit offer from one of our lenders.


Third-party service providers.  WithClutch uses third-party service providers that perform services on our behalf, including web-hosting companies, mailing vendors, and analytics providers.  These service providers may collect and/or use your information, including information that identifies you personally, to assist us in achieving the purposes discussed above.


We may share your information with other third parties when necessary to fulfill your requests for services; to complete a transaction that you initiate; to meet the terms of any agreement that you have with us or our partners; or to manage our business.


Analytics.  We partner with certain third parties to obtain the automatically collected information discussed above and to engage in analysis, auditing, research, and reporting. These third parties may use web logs or web beacons, and they may set and access cookies on your computer or other device. In particular, the Site uses Google Analytics to help collect and analyze certain information for the purposes discussed above. You may opt out of the use of cookies by Google Analytics here.  


Interest-based Advertising. The Services also enable third-party tracking mechanisms to collect information about you and your computing devices for use in online interest-based advertising. For example, third parties, such as Facebook, may use the fact that you visited our Site to target online ads to you about our Services. In addition, our third-party advertising networks might use information about your use of our Services to help target advertisements based on your mobile activity in general. For information about interest-based advertising practices, including privacy and confidentiality, visit the Network Advertising Initiative website or the Digital Advertising Alliance website.


The use of online tracking mechanisms by third parties is subject to those third parties’ own privacy policies, and not this Policy. If you prefer to prevent third parties from setting and accessing cookies on your computer or other device, you may set your browser to block cookies. Additionally, you may remove yourself from the targeted advertising of companies within the Network Advertising Initiative by opting out here, or of companies participating in the Digital Advertising Alliance by opting out here.  Although our Site currently does not respond to “do not track” browser headers, you can limit tracking through these third-party programs and by taking the other steps discussed above.


You can opt-out of interest-based by adjusting the advertising preferences on your mobile device (for example, in iOS, visit Settings > Privacy > Advertising > Limit Ad Tracking, and in Android, visit Settings > Google > Ads > Opt out of interest-based ads). You can also opt out for companies that participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance's AppChoices tool by downloading it here and following the instructions in the app. 


Legal purposes.  We also may use or share your information with third parties when we believe, in our sole discretion, that doing so is necessary:

To comply with applicable law or a court order, subpoena, or other legal process; 

  • To investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, violations of our terms and conditions, or situations involving threats to our property or the property or physical safety of any person or third party;
     

  • To establish, protect, or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims; or  
     

  • To facilitate the financing, securitization, insuring, sale, assignment, bankruptcy, or other disposal of all or part of our business or assets.
