We will primarily use your PII to provide service offerings to you. We will also use certain forms of PII to enhance the operation of our Services, improve our internal marketing and promotional efforts, statistically analyze Services use, improve our product and service offerings, and customize our Service’s content, layout, and service offerings. We may use PII to deliver information to you and to contact you regarding administrative notices. Finally, we may use your PII to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our agreements with you, including our Site Terms of Use, and this Privacy Policy.

You may always choose not to provide Personal Information, but this may prevent you from receiving certain Services.

We also collect Non-Personal Information, that is, information that does not personally identify an individual (“Non-Personal Information”). The Non-Personal Information we collect includes how you interact with the Services, information generally collected or “logged” by Internet websites or Internet services when accessed or used by users, and information about your web browser or device accessing or using the Services.

  • Unique Identifiers, meaning arbitrary codes or series of characters we create to identify unique users without Personal Information.
  • Information regarding user behavior gathered by third party tools such as Google Analytics or Hotjar in order to provide a better user experience

We may also aggregate Personal Information in a manner such that the end-product does not personally identify you or any other user of Memorial Funding.us, for example, by using Personal Information to calculate the percentage of our users who have a particular telephone area code. We will not use Non-Personal Information to try to identify you, and if we associate any Non-Personal Information with information that personally identifies you, then we will treat it as Personal Information. As discussed in more detail below, we sometimes use cookies and other automatic information gathering technologies to gather Non-Personal Information.  We may also collect or our Partners may collect, certain Aggregate Information including but not limited to your IP address to diagnose problems with our servers, software, to administer our Services and to gather demographic information. Our partners may also provide us with aggregate reports that will tell us how many ads were presented and clicked upon at our Site.

We may also disclose Personal Information to our Partners including but not limited to affiliated companies, agents, contractors, service providers or others engaged to perform functions on our behalf (such as processing of payments, provision of data storage, hosting of our website, marketing of our products and services, conducting audits, and performing web analytics).

Your Personal Information may also be disclosed:

We may share this information with Partners as well as, in some cases, with third party finder and lead aggregator companies who will pass along your information to help fulfill your request. By submitting your Personal Information for an inquiry, you are authorizing the sharing of your inquiry and your Personal Information with other businesses who provide, market, or find loan products or services that match your inquiry. Partners and other companies who subscribe to our services compete for the opportunity to provide loans and services that match your inquiry.

  • If you choose to send messages through Memorial Funding.us, to identify you as the sender to the recipient indicated by you.
  • By you, if you have provided a testimonial about Memorial Funding.us and given us permission to post that testimonial on our site.

We may also disclose your Personal Information to third parties when we believe, in good faith and in our sole discretion, that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to (a) enforce or apply the terms and conditions of the Services, including investigation of potential violations thereof, (b) comply with legal or regulatory requirements or an enforceable governmental request, (c) protect the rights, property or safety of us, our users or other third parties, (d) prevent a crime or protect national security, or (e) detect, prevent or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues.

You will be notified via email or prominent notice on our website for 30 days of any such change in ownership or control of your Personal Information.

Lastly, we may also disclose Non-Personal Information, anonymously aggregated with information about our other users, to our clients, business partners, merchants, advertisers, investors, potential buyers and other third parties if we deem such disclosure, in our sole discretion, to have sound business reasons or justifications.

  1. Cookies and Automatic Information Gathering Technologies; Interest-Based Advertising

Every time you access our Services, or one of its web pages, we collect Non-Personal Information (discussed above in Section 2).  These technologies help us better understand user behavior, tell us which parts of our websites people have visited, and facilitate and measure the effectiveness of advertisements and web searches. To assist the Services in collecting and storing Non-Personal Information, we may employ a variety of technologies, including “Cookies,” local browser storage and “Web Beacons.” A “Cookie” is a small amount of data a website may store in your web browser that it can access when you visit it. A cookie also refers to web-browser-based storage provided by Adobe’s Flash plugin (a “Flash Cookie”). Cookies may contain user preferences, unique identifiers and other Non-Personal Information. A “Web Beacon” is a small, usually-transparent image placed on a web page that allows us or our partners to collect non-Personal Information.

You can erase information stored in cookies, flash cookies, and local browser storage at any time, but you may be forced to login to the website again and you may lose some preferences or settings. You can also set your browser to refuse all website storage or to indicate when it is permitted, but some features of our Services may not function properly without it. We do not use Cookies, Web Beacons or similar technologies to store Personal Information.

To manage your cookie preferences please click the “cookie preference” button below

cookie preferences

We also work with service providers and third-party advertising networks who help us collect Non-Personal Information through cookies in order to deliver Interest-Based Advertising (IBA) to our users. IBA ads are tailored specifically to your likes, based on general categories in which you’ve shown an interest. You are often able to learn more about IBA and opt out of receiving these types of ads within the ads themselves when you see them. For more information on how you can opt-out of IBA, please see the “Transparency and Choice” section below.

 

  1. Transparency and Choice

When you use our Services, we make good faith efforts to provide you with access to your Personal Information and either to correct this data if it is inaccurate or to delete such data at your request, in either case if it is not otherwise required to be retained by law or for legitimate business purposes. We ask individual users to identify themselves and the information requested to be accessed, corrected or removed before processing such requests, and we may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backups), or for which access is not otherwise required. In any case, where we provide information access and correction, we perform this service free of charge, except if doing so would require a disproportionate effort.

If you would prefer that we do not share your Personal Information on a going-forward basis with unaffiliated third parties for their marketing purposes, you may opt out of this sharing by emailing us at info@Memorial Funding.org, and requesting that we suppress all of your Personal Information on a going-forward basis. Please note that if you opt out of such sharing, we will not be able to remove your Personal Information from the databases of third parties with which we have already shared your Personal Information (i.e., to which we have already provided your Personal Information as of the date that we implement your opt-out request). If you wish to cease receiving marketing-related communications from these third parties, please contact them directly or utilize any opt-out mechanisms in their privacy policies or marketing-related emails. We will comply with your request(s) as soon as reasonably practicable.

Please e-mail us at info@Memorial Funding.org with any questions, if you need assistance accessing or changing your Personal Information, or if you would like to have your Personal Information deleted. Please be aware that if you delete your Personal Information, you may not be able to continue to use Memorial Funding.us or the Services. Also, even if you request that we delete your Personal Information, we may need to retain certain information for a limited period of time to satisfy our legal, audit and/or dispute resolution requirements.

As mentioned above, your Non-Personal Information may be collected by or shared with third parties for purposes of IBA. You are often able to opt out of receiving IBA ads within the ads themselves when you see them. Additionally, you can generally opt-out of receiving personalized ads from third-party advertisers who are members of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) or who follow the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA)’s Self-regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising by visiting the opt out pages on the NAI site and the DAA site. Please note that if you delete your cookies or use a different browser, a different computer, or other device, you will need to opt out of IBA ads again.

At this time, Memorial Funding.us does not respond to “do not track” signals that may be sent from your browser.

You can opt out of receiving marketing e-mails from us by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link in the e-mails. Please note that it may take up to ten (10) business days for your opt-out request to be processed. Also, even if you opt out of marketing e-mails, we may continue to send you certain account-related e-mails, such as notices about your account and confirmations of transactions you have requested. If you are receiving SMS messages from us, you may opt out from further SMS messages and remove your SMS information from our database by responding “STOP” to the SMS text message you have received.

  1. Children

Our Website is not intended for users under 18 years of age. No one under age 18 may provide any personal information to or on the Website.  We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from users under 18 years of age. We do not authorize users under 18 years of age to use the Services of Memorial Funding.us.

  1. Information Security

We utilize reasonable information security measures to safeguard your Personal Information. For example, we utilize Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology when sensitive data is transmitted over the Internet and use firewalls to help prevent external access into our network. Unfortunately, however, no data transmission over the Internet and no method of data storage can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.  As a result, while we strive to protect your PII, you acknowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations inherent to the Internet which are beyond our control; and (b) the security, integrity and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through this Site cannot be guaranteed.

We restrict access to Personal Information to our employees, contractors, service providers and agents who need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve our Services. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal  prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations.

  1. Your California Privacy Rights

California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits users of our Services that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.

  1. Third Party Websites.

Please note that the Services may link or integrate with third party sites, services or apps. By using our services, you agree that we may share your Personal or Non-Personal information with third parties and Partners to complete your request for our services. We are not responsible for the privacy or security policies or practices or the content of such third parties or Partners.  For example, When you use a link to another website our Privacy Policy does not apply to third party or Partner services.  Your communication, use, and interaction on any third-party or Partner website or service, including those that have a link or advertisement on our website, are subject to that third-party’s or Partner’s policies and terms. You agree that we are not responsible and we do not have control over any third-parties or Partners that you authorize to access your User Content. If you are using a third-party website or service and you allow such a third-party access to your User Content, you do so at your own risk. Memorial Funding.us is also not responsible for sites directing you to Memorial Funding.us. and Our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy do not apply to those third-party and Partner sites or Services.  Accordingly, we encourage you to review the privacy and security policies and terms of service of those third parties and Partners so that you understand how those websites collect, use, share and protect your information.
