Information We Collect
When you submit an application or use our tools, we collect the information you provide directly — including your name, email address, phone number, business name, and financial information. We also collect technical information about your device and how you interact with our website (IP address, browser type, pages visited, referring URLs).
How We Use Your Information
We use your information to: match you with appropriate funding partners, insurance providers, and other financial service providers; respond to your inquiries; improve our platform; send communications you've requested; and comply with applicable legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information to data brokers. When we share your information with funding partners or other service providers, it is for the purpose of fulfilling the service you requested.
Information Sharing
By submitting an application through ClearSide, you expressly authorize us to share your information with our network of funding partners, insurance providers, and financial service providers for the purpose of providing you with quotes, offers, and services. These partners operate under their own privacy policies.
We may also share information with service providers who assist in operating our platform (analytics, hosting, email), as required by law, or in connection with a merger or acquisition.
Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to analyze traffic, personalize content, and serve advertising. This includes analytics tools (Google Analytics), advertising pixels (Meta), and lead certification tools (TrustedForm). You can control cookies through your browser settings.
