Cast Capital uses collected email addresses for both transactional (e.g., application status, application updates, application confirmation, etc.) and promotional (e.g., newsletters, new product offerings, event notifications, special third-party offers) purposes. Email messages sent by Cast Capital may contain code that enables Cast Capital’s database to track users’ usage of the emails, including whether the email was opened and which links (if any) were clicked.

Cast Capital may also contact users by telephone or text message (including to any wireless number users may provide to Cast Capital) solely in connection with the Services.

This information is indicative of which parts of the Sites users are visiting. The log files are not shared externally.
  • Cookies: Cast Capital uses “cookies” to keep track of certain information while users are visiting the Sites or using the Services. Cookies are small files placed on a user’s computer, and they allow Cast Capital to count the number of visitors to the Sites and distinguish repeat visitors from new visitors.

Cast Capital relies on cookies for the proper operation of the Sites; therefore, if a user’s browser is set to reject all cookies, the Sites will not function properly. Users who refuse cookies assume all responsibility for any resulting loss of functionality. Cast Capital does not link the cookies to any personally identifiable information.

Cast Capital may also use web beacons in email communications in order to understand the behavior of Cast Capital customers.

Any information obtained from a third party will be used to assist in matching the user’s business with various lenders.

These third parties are solely responsible for their own websites, and Cast Capital encourages users to reach out to such third parties for copies of and information regarding their security practices.

4. Use of Information

Collected information is used for a variety of reasons, all of which support Cast Capital’s Sites and Services.

  • Provide Cast Capital Services: Cast Capital processes collected personal information to provide the Services to users. For example, when a user seeks business financing from one of Cast Capital’s financing partners, Cast Capital requires certain information such as user identification, contact information, and income information. Cast Capital cannot provide users with Services without such information.
  • To Provide Service Communications: Cast Capital sends administrative or account-related information to users to keep users updated about the Services, inform users of relevant security issues or updates, or provide other transaction-related information. Without such communications, users may not be aware of important developments relating to their accounts that may affect their use of the Services. Receipt of critical service communications, such as emails or mobile notifications sent for legal or security purposes, is not subject to the “opt-out” option.
  • For Research and Development Purposes: Cast Capital processes users’ personal information to better understand how they use and interact with Cast Capital’s Services. In addition, Cast Capital uses such information to customize, measure, and improve its Services, the content and layout of its applications, and to develop new services. Without such processing, Cast Capital cannot ensure users’ continued enjoyment of the Services.
  • To Enhance Users’ Experience: Cast Capital processes users’ personal information to provide a personalized experience and implement the preferences users request. For example, users may choose to provide Cast Capital with access to certain personal information stored by third parties. Without such processing, Cast Capital may not be able to ensure users’ continued enjoyment of part or all of the Services.
  • To Facilitate Corporate Acquisitions, Mergers, or Transactions: Cast Capital may process any information regarding users’ accounts and use of the Services as necessary in the context of corporate acquisitions, mergers, or other corporate transactions. Users have the option of closing their accounts if they do not wish to have their personal information processed for such purposes.
  • To Maintain Legal and Regulatory Compliance: Many of Cast Capital’s core Services are subject to laws and regulations requiring Cast Capital to collect, use, and store users’ personal information in specific ways. For example, Cast Capital must identify and verify customers using the Services in order to comply with commercial lending laws across jurisdictions.
  • To Enforce Cast Capital’s Terms in its User Agreement and Other Agreements: Cast Capital handles sensitive information, such as users’ identification and financial data, so it is important for Cast Capital and its customers that Cast Capital actively monitors, investigates, prevents, and mitigates any potentially prohibited or illegal activities, enforces Cast Capital’s agreements with third parties, and/or prevents and detects violations of Cast Capital’s posted user agreement or agreements for other Services.
  • To Detect and Prevent Fraud: Cast Capital processes users’ personal information in order to help detect, prevent, and mitigate fraud and abuse of the Services, and to protect users against account compromise or information loss.

If Cast Capital does not process personal information for quality control purposes, users’ experience of the Services may be affected.
  • To Ensure Network and Information Security: Cast Capital processes users’ personal information to enhance security, monitor and verify identity or service access, combat spam or other malware or security risks, and to comply with applicable security laws and regulations. The threat landscape on the internet is constantly evolving, making it critical that Cast Capital has accurate and up-to-date information about users’ use of the Services. Without processing users’ personal information, Cast Capital may not be able to ensure the security of the Services.

If any of the rights listed below are not provided under law for a user’s operating entity or jurisdiction, Cast Capital has absolute discretion in providing users with those rights.

Users’ rights to personal information are not absolute. Access may be denied depending upon the applicable law, including situations where: (a) denial of access is required or authorized by law; (b) users reside in a state that does not provide for this right; (c) granting access would have a negative impact on another’s privacy; (d) to protect Cast Capital’s rights and properties; or (e) where the request is frivolous, vexatious, or for other legitimate reasons.

This is necessary to deter fraud by ensuring that persons who try to commit fraud will not be able to avoid detection by closing their account and opening a new one, and to comply with Cast Capital’s legal obligations. However, if users close their account, their personal information will not be used by Cast Capital for any further purposes, nor shared with third parties, except as necessary to prevent fraud, assist law enforcement, as required by law, or in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
