Balboa Capital Privacy Policy
Effective date: June 28, 2017
Updated on January 4, 2021
This Balboa Capital privacy policy applies to https://www.bizcashadvances.com, a website owned and operated by Balboa Capital. This Privacy Policy describes how Balboa Capital collects and uses the personal information you provide on our websites. It also describes the choices available to you regarding our use of your personal information and how you can access and update this information.
Balboa Capital is committed to protecting the confidential information you entrust to us. We carefully manage that information to provide you with high quality business financial products and services, and we never sell or share your information with non-affiliated outside parties other than what is stated in this Privacy Policy. Confidential information can include data you provide us on forms, data collected from third party credit reporting agencies, or data provided by references.
Protecting your Confidential Information.
We take seriously our obligation to safeguard your confidential Information. Information is accessible only to employees who use it in order to provide products or services to you and your company and are held to standards of professionalism and integrity that includes using and disclosing customer data only for Balboa Capital’s use in assessing your and your company’s creditworthiness and providing you with the best products and services Balboa offers. While no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure and we cannot guarantee its absolute security, we maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect the confidentiality of your information. When you enter sensitive information (such as a Social Security number) on our applications, we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). If you have any questions about security on our website, you can contact us at info@balboacapital.com.
Protecting Disclosure of Information to Non-Affiliated Third Parties.
We never sell confidential information to non-affiliated third parties. We may share information with other companies hired to provide services for us such as ordering credit bureaus, sending emails, and processing credit card payments. These companies – our vendors – are contractually bound to use personal information we share with them only to perform the services we have hired them to provide. We do not share, sell, or lease personal information about you to any third parties for their marketing use. We will release information about you if you direct us to do so, if we are required by law to do so, or in other legally limited circumstances (for example, to protect your account from fraud).
Collecting Information.
We may gather confidential information from the following sources: Information you provide on applications and through other forms, such as your name, address, social security number, ACH bank information, credit card information, information from a credit reporting agency, such as creditworthiness and credit history to help us with customer authentication, payment processing and credit-related decisions, or data from your use of our website. When you visit our website, we automatically collect information on the type of device you use, operating system version, and the device identifier (or “UDID”).
U.S. Patriot Act.
To help the United States government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions, including commercial lenders and entities extending credit, to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person and business that seeks a business loan or other extension of credit. What this means for you: When you apply for a loan, line of credit, or equipment financing, we will ask for your business name, address, and Tax Identification Number. We will also ask for your name, address, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents and will retain that documentation in compliance with federal laws and regulations.
Using Confidential Information to Serve You.
In general, you can visit this website without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. Our web servers collect the domain names, not the e-mail addresses, of visitors. Our web servers also seek (as many websites do) to place a “cookie” (a small data file) on your computer’s hard drive which allows the server to determine the computer when it visits again, in order to track statistical information about navigation through our site. This cookie is not used to obtain your name or any personal data, and the information that is tracked is used only for internal purposes, such as to improve site navigation, and is not shared with any third parties outside of Balboa Capital. However, if you prefer not to accept cookies, you can set your browser to reject them or to alert you before one is placed. We generally let you know at the time of collection how we will use the personal information. Usually, we use the personal information you provide only to respond to your inquiry or to process your request. We gather and use confidential Information in the course of providing you with financial products and services.
Other Tracking Technologies.
As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and/or clickstream data. We do link this automatically collected data to other information we collect about you.
Technologies such as: cookies, beacons, tags and scripts are used by Balboa Capital and our partners (Marketo, Pardot), affiliates, or analytics (Google Analytics) or service providers. These technologies are used in analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies by these companies on an individual as well as aggregated basis.
We also use mobile analytics software to allow us to better understand the functionality of our website on mobile devices. This software may record information such as how often you use the site, the events that occur within the site, aggregated usage, performance data, and where the mobile site was accessed from. We do not link the information we store within the analytics software to any personal information you submit within the mobile site.
We use Local Storage, such as HTML5, to store content information and preferences. Third parties with whom we partner to provide certain features on our website or to display advertising based upon your web browsing activity also use HTML5 to collect and store information. Various browsers may offer their own management tools for removing HTML5.
We partner with a third party to either display advertising on our website or to manage our advertising on other sites. Our third party partner may use technologies such as cookies to gather information about your activities on this site and other sites in order to provide you advertising based upon your browsing activities and interests.
Disclosing Information as Permitted by Law.
In certain situations, Balboa Capital may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
We may also disclose confidential Information with your consent or as otherwise permitted by law and when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request. For example, this may include disclosure to a credit-reporting agency or in response to a subpoena or other legal process. It may also include disclosure to protect against fraud, as part of an audit or examination. We do not share Confidential Information about former customers, except as permitted by law.
If Balboa Capital is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, you will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on our website of any change in ownership or uses of your confidential information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your confidential information.
Children’s Privacy.
Balboa Capital does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13 years of age. If we learn that a child under the age of 13 has provided us with personal information, or that such personal information has otherwise been inadvertently collected, we will delete it in accordance with applicable law.
