This Site was created to provide information about our company and our real estate lending and investing services, mobile applications and related services (together with the Site, the “Services”) to our Service visitors (“you”, “your”, or “user”).

Information We Collect
When you interact with us through the Services, we may collect, use, sell, or share your Personal Information. Personal Information is information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with you or your household (“Personal Information”). “Personal Information” does not include: (1) publicly available information, such as information that is lawfully made available from federal, state, or local records, and (2) de-identified or aggregate consumer information. Personal Information That You Provide Through the Services: We collect Personal Information from you when you voluntarily provide such information, such as when you submit a loan application, open an account, contact us with inquiries, respond to one of our surveys, register for website access to the Services or use certain Services. Wherever we collect Personal Information from you, we make an effort to provide a link to this Privacy Policy.
If you provide Personal Data to the Services, you acknowledge and agree that such Personal Data may be transferred from your current location to the offices and servers of Company and the authorized third parties referred to herein located in the United States.
Non-Identifiable Data
Non-Identifiable Data: When you visit the Site or interact with us through the Services, we receive and store certain personally non-identifiable information. Such information, which is collected passively using various technologies, cannot presently be used to specifically identify you. PCF may store such information itself or such information may be included in databases owned and maintained by Company affiliates, agents or service providers. We may use such information and pool it with other information to track, for example, the total number of visitors to our Site, the number of visitors to each page of our Site, and the domain names of our visitors’ Internet service providers.
Aggregated Personal Information
In an ongoing effort to better understand and serve the users of the Services, we often conduct research on our customer demographics, interests and behavior based on the use and other information provided to us. This research may be compiled and analyzed on an aggregate basis, and PCF may share this aggregate data with its affiliates, agents and business partners. This aggregate information does not identify you personally. PCF may also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our services to current and prospective business partners, and to other third parties for other lawful purposes.
Our Use of Your Personal Information
PCF uses the Personal Information you provide in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy. If you provide Personal Information for a certain reason, we may use the Personal Information in connection with the reason for which it was provided. For instance, if you contact us by email, we will use the Personal Information you provide to answer your question or resolve your problem. Also, if you provide Personal Information in order to obtain access to the Services, we will use your Personal Information to provide you with access to such services and to monitor your use of such services. PCF and its subsidiaries and affiliates (the “Related Companies”) may also use your Personal Information collected through the Services to help us improve the content and functionality of the Services, to better understand our users and to improve the Services. We may use this information to contact you in the future to tell you about services we believe will be of interest to you. If we do so, each marketing communication we send you will contain instructions permitting you to “opt-out” of receiving future marketing communications. In addition, if at any time you wish not to receive any future marketing communications or you wish to have your name deleted from our mailing lists, please contact us at frontdesk@pcfprivatemoney.com . If PCF intends on using any Personal Information in any manner that is not consistent with this Privacy Policy, you will be informed of such anticipated use prior to or at the time at which the Personal Information is collected.
Our Disclosure of Your Personal Information
PCF is not in the business of selling your information. We consider this information to be a vital part of our relationship with you. There are, however, certain circumstances in which we may share your Personal Information with certain third parties without further notice to you, as set forth below:
Business Transfers
In the event of a corporate sale, merger, reorganization, dissolution or similar event, Personal Information may be part of the transferred assets.
Related Companies
We may also share your Personal Information with our Related Companies for purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy.

Agents, Consultants and Related Third Parties
We, like many businesses, sometimes hire other companies to perform certain business-related functions. Examples of such functions include but are not limited to mailing information, maintaining databases, processing payments, releasing property liens, and property inspections. When we employ another company to perform a function of this nature, we only provide them with the information that they need to perform their specific function.
Legal Requirements
PCF may disclose your Personal Information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (i) comply with a legal obligation, (ii) protect and defend our rights or property, (iii) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the Services or the public, or (iv) protect against legal liability.
Your Choices
You can visit the Site without providing any Personal Information. If you choose not to provide any Personal Data, you may not be able to use certain Services.
Exclusions
This Privacy Policy does not apply to any Personal Information collected by PCF other than Personal Information collected through the Services. This Privacy Policy shall not apply to any unsolicited information you provide to Company through the Services or through any other means. This includes, but is not limited to, information posted to any public areas of the Services, such as forums, any ideas for new products or modifications to existing products, and other unsolicited submissions (collectively, “Unsolicited Information”). All Unsolicited Information shall be deemed to be non-confidential and available to be reproduced, used, disclosed, or distributed to others without limitation or attribution. For state specific policies, please also visit our Jurisdiction Specific Disclosures below.
Children and Minors
Our services are not intended for and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from Minors. “Minors” are individuals under the age of 13 (or under a higher age if permitted by the laws of their residence). If it comes to our attention that we have collected Personal Information from a Minor, we may delete this information without notice. If you have reason to believe that this has occurred, please contact us at frontdesk@pcfprivatemoney.com to have the information deleted.
Links to Other Websites
This Privacy Policy applies only to the Services. The Services may contain links to other websites not operated or controlled by PCF (the “Third Party Sites”). The policies and procedures we described here do not apply to the Third Party Sites. The links from the Services do not imply that PCF endorses or has reviewed the Third Party Sites. We suggest contacting those sites directly for information on their privacy policies.
Cookie Policy
In operating the Services, we may use a technology called “cookies.” Cookies are small text files sent by us to your computer or mobile device, which enables PCF features and functionality. They are unique to your account and your browser. We use our own cookies and third party cookies. PCF uses both session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie is something that helps identify you during a particular visit to our Site which expires after a short time. We use a persistent cookie to identify you over a long period of time such as if you ask us to keep you signed in.
Our cookies help provide additional functionality to the Services and help us analyze Services usage more accurately. For instance, our Site may set a cookie on your browser that allows you to access the Services without needing to remember and then enter a password more than once during a visit to the Site. We use cookies for a variety of reasons including account authentication, enhance security, provide you with more customized preferences, features, and services, marketing, and performance, analytics and research.
If you would prefer not to allow cookies, on most web browsers, you will find a “help” section on the toolbar where you can set up rules to manage cookies such as how to receive notifications when you are receiving a new cookie or how to turn cookies off. We recommend that you leave cookies turned on because they allow you to take advantage of some of the Service features. Limiting cookies may stop you from saving customized settings including login information.
Tracking Policies
We collect Personal Information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you use our Site or Services or affiliated websites. We also allow third parties to collect Personal Information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you use our Site or Services.
Security
PCF takes reasonable steps to protect the Personal Information provided via the Services from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or via mobile device, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. In particular, email sent to or from the Services may not be secure. Alternatively, you can securely upload information through your username and password enabled accounts on our Site.
