This privacy policy (“Policy”) describes how we collect and use your PII and how you can control that use. To learn about how we collect and use nonpublic personal information in connection with obtaining a financial product or service from Mission Lane, please see our Consumer Privacy Notice
Please read this Policy carefully. By using our Site or Services, you agree to our collection, use, and sharing of your PII as described in this Policy.
Information that We Collect
Through your use of our Site and Services, we may collect PII, which (as used in this Policy) is information that identifies an individual or relates to an identifiable individual or device. PII may include, but is not limited to, your first and last name, physical address, email address, and persistent identifiers for your browser or mobile device. We collect the following types of information:
Information Provided by You or Others
If you express interest in one of our Services, we will collect certain PII from you, including contact information (such as name and email address), which we will use to contact you. We may collect PII about you from third-party sources and combine it with the information you provide to us.
If you contact us, tell us your story, or otherwise provide us with information about yourself, we will maintain records of your correspondence. This may include any of your questions, comments, or suggestions. You may also provide us with the email addresses of your contacts and include a personal message to your contacts if you choose to participate in our referral program, if available.
If you use our mobile application, we may ask for your permission to access certain information and features on your device, including your camera and photos. You may also enable identity verification through your device’s Touch ID feature, in which case you will provide your fingerprint to your device. We do not collect your fingerprint.
We may collect and store your location information if you enable your mobile device to send it to us. Certain features of the Services, including fraud detection and card locking features, may not be available if you do not enable this collection.
Device and Usage Information
We may automatically collect the following types of information as you use our Site and Services.
- Usage Information: We collect certain information automatically through your use of the Site, such as which of our web pages or mobile pages you access, the frequency of access, and what you click on while on our Site.
- Location Information: We may collect information about your actual location which may be determined from your IP address and other sensors that may reveal information on nearby devices, Wi-Fi access points, and cell towers.
- Device Information: We may collect information about the device you are using such as: hardware model, operating system, application version number, browser, and IP addresses.
- Mobile Device Information: In addition to the Device Information listed above, when you access our Site or Services via a browser on your mobile device or through the use of our mobile application, we may also collect mobile network information including phone number, the unique device identifier assigned to that device, mobile carrier, operating system, and other device attributes.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user’s computer for record-keeping purposes. We (or our third-party partners) use cookies and similar data collection technologies as described in this section.
- Session Cookies: We use session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our Site. The session ID cookie expires 24 hours after you sign in to our Site.
- Persistent Cookies: We use persistent cookies that remain on your hard drive for an extended period of time. Persistent cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Site and provide interest-based advertising as described below. You can remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in your Internet browser’s “help” file.
If you reject cookies, you may still use our Site, but your ability to use some areas of our Site may be limited. For example, you cannot create an account with us or use a product without accepting cookies.
We may use a software technology called tracking pixels (a.k.a. web beacons or clear gifs) that help us better manage content on our Site by informing us what content is most effective. Tracking pixels are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, tracking pixels are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence.
We may also use other website or mobile tracking technologies, such as device fingerprinting, to identify you and keep track of your preferences, prevent fraudulent activity or improve Site security, assess the performance of the Site, and deliver content and advertising to you based on your interests on our site and third-party sites.
Deidentified and Aggregate Information
Statistical or aggregated information does not directly identify a specific person, but it may be derived from your PII. For example, we may aggregate PII to calculate the percentage of users in a particular ZIP code. We may also remove identifiers from data in order to create deidentified information that does not identify a specific person.
Third-Party Data Collection
Some content or applications on the Site may be provided by third parties, including advertisers, ad networks and servers, analytics companies, and application providers. These third parties may use cookies or other technologies to collect information when you use our Site. The information they collect may be associated with your PII or they may collect information, including PII, about your online activities over time and across different websites and other online services. These third parties have their own privacy policies that govern how they process information about you.
Interest-based Advertising
Third parties can also collect and use information on the Site for interest-based advertising, which is designed to be more relevant to you based on data collected on our Site and unrelated online properties over time. You can visit the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) Web Choices to opt out of interest-based advertising on your browser from companies participating in the DAA industry self-regulatory program.
To opt-out of the collection and use of mobile app data across apps over time on a device for interest-based advertising purposes, for companies participating in industry-self regulation, you can use the DAA’s AppChoices tool.
To exercise this opt-out, you can download the AppChoices app onto the relevant mobile device and opt-out through the app.
AppChoices is available at these links:
Please note that you should exercise your opt-out on each browser or device. If you opt out, you will still receive advertising but it may be less relevant to you. Third parties may continue to collect, use, and transfer information for purposes other than interest-based advertising. Some of these third parties may provide you with other ways to choose not to have your information collected or used for targeted advertising.
We use Bing Ads Universal Event Tracking (UET) tracking cookies which allow us to advertise on third party websites through the Bing Ads Advertising network (an advertising service provided by Microsoft, Inc.). Learn more about Bing’s privacy practices at https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-US/privacystatement. You can opt out of receiving interest-based advertising from Microsoft as described in the Microsoft’s opt-out page available at https://account.microsoft.com/privacy/ad-settings/signedout?lang=en-US.
To opt out of having your precise location data used for interest-based advertising, you can turn off location permissions using any tools provided by your device or operating system.

Security
The security of your PII is important to us. We maintain reasonable physical, technical, and administrative security measures to protect and limit access to your PII. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your PII, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

The Site may contain links to or links from third-party sites that are not owned or controlled by Mission Lane, its parent company or affiliates.
The Site may also include integrated social media tools or “plug-ins,” such as social networking tools offered by third parties. If you use these tools to share personal information or you otherwise interact with social media features on the Service, those social media companies may collect information about you and may use and share such information in accordance with your account settings, including by sharing such information with the general public.
