Privacy Policy
Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how 500paydayloans.net ("we", "us") collects, uses, shares and protects information when you visit our website or submit a loan request. By using the site or submitting a request, you consent to the practices described here. We may update this policy from time to time; the date of the latest version is shown at the bottom of the site.
Information we collect
Depending on how you use the site, we may collect:
- Information you provide in a loan request — such as your name, contact details, income, employment and bank-account information needed to match you with lenders.
- Technical data collected automatically — IP address, device and browser type, pages viewed, and referring site, gathered through cookies and similar technologies.
- Communications you send us, such as enquiries through our contact form.
How we use and share information
Our core purpose is matching: when you submit a request, we share the information you provide with participating lenders and lending networks so they can decide whether to make you an offer. Those lenders are independent third parties with their own privacy policies, which govern what they do with your information once they receive it.
We may also use information to operate and improve the site, prevent fraud and abuse, comply with law, and — where permitted — send service or marketing messages. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the privacy practices of the lenders or third-party sites we link to.
Cookies and tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working, measure traffic and understand how pages are used. You can control or block cookies through your browser settings; some features may not work correctly if you do.
Your choices and rights
You may opt out of marketing messages at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions in them or by contacting us. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or limit the sale or sharing of your personal information.
California residents have specific rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. See our "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" page to exercise that right, or use our contact form for any privacy request.
Data security and retention
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect the information we handle, including encryption in transit. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described here or as required by law.
Children's privacy
Our service is intended for adults 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
