Privacy Policy

    Overview

    This Privacy Policy ("Policy") applies to data collected by MorCap Funding LLC The Policy has two parts:

    • Part 1 provides our U.S. Privacy Policy, including our Privacy Policy for morbizcap.com ("Website").
    • Part 2 is our California Supplement, which provides our California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 ("CCPA") Privacy Policy. The CCPA provides various rights to consumers who reside in California with regard to personal information. A natural person, including a business owner or guarantor, is considered to be a consumer under the CCPA.

    Part 1: MorCap Funding US Privacy Policy

    MorCap Funding does not share the SMS opt-in consent with any third-party organizations.

    This Privacy Policy describes the choices available to you regarding our use of your personal information and how you can access and update such information. For purposes of this Privacy Policy, "Personal Information" means information that personally identifies you, including your contact information, IP address, and loan application information. A large portion of the Personal Information we collect, use, share, and store is sensitive in nature, including your social security number and financial account information ("Sensitive Personal Information").

    Information We Collect

    We collect the following information from you:

    • Contact information such as name, business name, email address, mailing address, and phone number;
    • Financial information such as bank statements, credit card statements, your average bank balance, personal and business credit history, payment behavior, bank account information, and tax ID number;
    • Social security number;
    • Unique identifiers such as user name and password, and IP address;
    • Business information including company size and business type; and
    • Beneficial ownership information.

    In addition to collecting information via our Website, we may obtain information and external data used by lenders to process applications and complete and manage transactions, e.g., from credit reporting agencies and other vendors, as well as from social media. Once you are a MorCap Funding customer, we may reach out to you for, or otherwise obtain, information if you decide to renew your funding or as otherwise needed to provide the Service.

    When required in the U.S., we will collect information on the beneficial owners of our business customers for purposes of verifying their identity only. The U.S. Government implemented the beneficial ownership regulation to help deter financial crimes. Pursuant to our privacy policies and procedures, we will maintain beneficial ownership information in our system of record.

    • Conduct research and analyses to better understand our customers; and

    Tracking Technologies

    MorCap Funding and our partners, affiliates, or analytics or service providers use cookies or similar technologies. These technologies are used in analyzing trends, administering the Website, tracking users' movements around the Website 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.

    A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user's computer for record-keeping purposes. We use cookies for user authentication and analytics. Users can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level. If you reject cookies, you may still use our Website, but your ability to use some features or areas of our Website may be limited.

    Log Files

    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 may combine this automatically collected log information with other information we collect about you. We do this to improve services we offer you and to improve marketing, analytics, and Website functionality.

    Behavioral Advertising / Re-Targeting

    We partner with third parties to display advertising on our Website and manage our advertising on other sites. Our third-party partners may use technologies such as cookies to gather information about your activities on this Website and other sites in order to provide you advertising based upon your browsing activities and interests. Opting out of interest-based ads does not opt you out of being served advertisements; you will continue to receive generic advertisements.

    Security of Information

    MorCap Funding takes the security of your information very seriously. Your information is securely sent to MorCap Funding with 128-bit encryption over the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. This creates an encrypted connection between your browser and our servers. Thus, when you enter Sensitive Personal Information (such as a bank account number) on our forms, we encrypt the transmission of that information. If you have any questions about the security of your personal information, you can contact us at info@morbizcap.com.

    If you allow MorCap Funding to see your banking information online rather than in paper form, it is on a read-only basis. We do not have access to change, edit, or modify bank account information in any way. MorCap Funding employees cannot view your banking username and passwords.

    Sharing Personal Information

    No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. MorCap Funding will not sell your personal information to third parties.

    Your Rights and Choices

    The CCPA provides consumers, including owners/guarantors of small business funding (California residents), with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes the CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

    Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights

    You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months, including the categories of information collected, the categories of sources, our business or commercial purpose for collecting it, the categories of third parties with whom we share it, and the specific pieces of personal information we collected about you.

    Deletion Request Rights

    You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies — for example, completing a transaction you requested, detecting security incidents, complying with a legal obligation such as federal anti-money laundering (AML) laws, or other lawful internal uses compatible with the context in which you provided it.

    Exercising Access, Data Portability and Deletion Rights

    Only you or a person you authorize to act on your behalf may make a request related to your personal information. You may only make a request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The request must provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify your identity and describe the request with sufficient detail for us to properly understand, evaluate and respond to it.

    Response Timing and Format

    We endeavor to respond to a request in writing within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. Any disclosures we provide will cover the 12-month period preceding the receipt of the request. We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.

    Non-Discrimination

    We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not deny you goods or services, charge you different prices, or provide you a different level or quality of goods or services because you exercised your rights.

    Changes to Our CCPA Privacy Notice

    We reserve the right to amend this privacy notice at our discretion and at any time. When we make changes to this privacy notice, we will notify you by email or through a notice on our website homepage.
