G. At Your Direction
We may disclose information when you request, authorize, or direct us to do so.
6. Sale and Sharing of Personal Information
Strategic Funder does not sell personal information for money in the ordinary meaning of the word “sell.”
However, certain privacy laws define “sale” or “sharing” broadly. Disclosures involving advertising technology, analytics, referral compensation, affiliate relationships, or financing-provider matching could potentially be considered a sale or sharing under those definitions.
You may request that we not sell or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising by contacting us using the information in the “Contact Us” section below.
Where required by law, we will also recognize applicable browser-based opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control signals.
7. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We and our service providers may use cookies, pixels, tags, software-development kits, local storage, and similar technologies.
These technologies may be used to:
Operate the website;
Remember user preferences;
Maintain website security;
Understand website usage;
Diagnose technical problems;
Measure marketing performance;
Track referral sources;
Personalize content; and
Deliver or measure advertising.
You may be able to control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect website functionality.
Where legally required, we may provide a cookie-consent or privacy-preferences tool.
8. Analytics and Advertising
We may use third-party analytics and advertising services, including services offered by companies such as Google, Meta, Microsoft, LinkedIn, or similar providers.
These providers may use cookies or similar technologies to collect information about your interaction with our website and other websites. Their use of information is governed by their own privacy policies and settings.
We may use information from these services to measure traffic, understand visitor behavior, evaluate advertisements, create audiences, and improve our services.
9. Communications and Marketing
By providing your contact information and requesting information or services, you authorize us and, where applicable, the financing or referral partners involved in your request to contact you regarding that request.
Communications may occur by telephone, email, or text message, subject to applicable law and any consent language presented when you submit a form.
Consent to receive marketing communications is not a condition of purchasing a product or service unless expressly stated otherwise.
You may unsubscribe from promotional emails by using the unsubscribe link included in an email. You may opt out of promotional text messages by replying “STOP.”
Even after opting out of marketing, we may send nonpromotional communications regarding an active inquiry, application, transaction, legal notice, or existing business relationship.
10. Credit and Financing Information
Strategic Funder is not a consumer credit-reporting agency.
In connection with a financing request, a lender or financing provider may request permission to obtain business or personal credit information. Any credit authorization should be presented separately by the party requesting the report.
Submitting information through our website does not necessarily result in a credit inquiry. A lender or financing provider may conduct a soft or hard credit inquiry only as permitted by law and applicable authorization.
11. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to:
Provide requested services;
Maintain business and transaction records;
Track referrals and commissions;
Satisfy legal, accounting, tax, compliance, and contractual requirements;
Resolve disputes;
Prevent fraud;
Enforce agreements; and
Protect our legal interests.
Retention periods vary based on the type of information, the nature of the relationship, legal requirements, and operational needs.
When information is no longer reasonably needed, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it.
12. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information.
No website, transmission method, storage system, or security measure is completely secure. We cannot guarantee that personal information will never be accessed, disclosed, altered, lost, or destroyed.
You are responsible for using secure methods when transmitting sensitive documents and for protecting passwords or credentials associated with any account or portal.

These rights may be subject to exceptions and verification requirements.
To submit a request, contact us using the information in the “Contact Us” section. Please include your name, contact information, state of residence, and the nature of your request.
We may request information necessary to verify your identity and authority. Authorized agents may submit requests where permitted by law, but we may require proof of authorization.
We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.
