Privacy Policy

Forward Financing collects the information you submit in a loan request — identity, contact, income, and banking details — and shares it with lenders in our network for the purpose of reviewing your request. We do not sell your information to unrelated marketers.

Information we collect

When you submit a request, you provide your name, date of birth, address, Social Security or taxpayer identification number, contact details, income and employment information, requested loan amount, and checking account details. Our systems also collect standard technical information — IP address, browser type, device characteristics, and pages visited — through server logs and analytics tools, which help us keep the site functional and secure.

How your information is used

Request information exists to be shared with lenders — that sharing is the service itself. Lenders use it to evaluate your request, verify your identity and income, and, if they accept, to prepare an offer. We additionally use information to operate and improve the website, prevent fraud, comply with legal obligations, and communicate with you about your request. With your consent where required, we may send service-related messages to the contact details you provide.

Who we share it with

Your request is shared with lending companies and lending networks that participate in our marketplace, and with service providers who support our operations under confidentiality obligations — hosting, security, analytics, and communications vendors. We may disclose information when required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights and safety of users and the public. We do not sell your personal information to unrelated third-party marketers.

Cookies and analytics

This site uses cookies and similar technologies for essential functionality and to understand how visitors use our pages, including analytics tools that record anonymized interaction patterns. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may affect parts of the site.

Security and retention

Form data is transmitted over encrypted connections, and we apply administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information. No transmission or storage method is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We retain information for as long as needed to provide the service, meet legal obligations, and resolve disputes, after which it is deleted or de-identified.

Your choices and rights

Depending on your state, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold, and to opt out of certain sharing. To exercise any right, contact [email protected] or call (888) 279-2823; we will verify your identity and respond as the law requires. You may opt out of non-essential communications at any time using the unsubscribe mechanism in any message.

Children

This service is intended for adults who have reached the age of majority in their state. We do not knowingly collect information from minors, and any such information discovered is deleted.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy as the service and the law evolve; the current version always lives on this page. Questions belong at [email protected] or by mail at 5361 Summit Avenue, Suite 386, Kansas City, MO 64106. Related reading: our terms of use and advertiser disclosure.
