Information you provide
We collect information you give us directly. This includes:

Information from third parties
When you click an affiliate link and apply for a product, our affiliate partners may share with us non-personally-identifiable information about the transaction (such as that a referral resulted in an approval).

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
- Essential cookies required for the site to function
- Analytics cookies (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use our site
- Affiliate tracking cookies set by our affiliate partners when you click their links, so they can credit us for referrals
You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features of the site may not function correctly if you do.
Who we share information with
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only in these limited cases:
- Service providers who help us operate the site (email delivery services, hosting providers, analytics platforms). These providers are bound by contract to use your data only to provide their services to us.
- Affiliate partners, but only to the extent of click and conversion tracking — never your personal application details.
- Legal requirements, when we are required by law, subpoena, or other legal process to disclose information.
- Business transfers, in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
