Privacy Policy

Regulatory Compliance

Loan Originator Networks (“we”, “us”, “our”) abides by regulations put forth by both the California Consumer Privacy Act and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) empowers California residents with specific data privacy rights. While our company may not be directly subject to the CCPA, we believe in transparency and aim to honor these principles for all our users, regardless of location.

Key Rights Under CCPA:

  • Information Access: You can ask companies to reveal what personal data they’ve gathered about you in the past year.
  • Data Sources: You have the right to know where companies obtained your information.
  • Purpose Disclosure: Companies must explain why they collected or sold your data.
  • Third-Party Sharing: You can request details about which other organizations have received your information.
  • Data Specifics: You’re entitled to know exactly what personal details a company has collected.
  • Sale or Disclosure Information: Companies must disclose if they’ve sold your data or shared it for business reasons.

These provisions aim to give you greater control over your personal information and insight into how businesses use it.

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) regulates how financial institutions handle nonpublic personal information. Under this act, financial institutions and their affiliates are generally prohibited from sharing your nonpublic information with non-affiliated third parties unless they provide you with a notice detailing their privacy policies and practices. This notice must include:

  • The types of information collected about you
  • The categories of personal information that may be disclosed
  • The entities to whom this information may be disclosed

While we are not directly classified as a “financial institution,” we may be considered an “affiliate” of one. To ensure compliance with the GLBA and to maintain transparency, we are providing you with this document outlining our company’s privacy policies and practices.

On behalf of our clients, we work with nonpublic personal information that is bound by other policies and regulations. These policies are available at trust.loanoriginator.net.
