Financial companies choose how they share your personal information. Federal law gives consumers the right to limit some but not all sharing. Federal law also requires us to tell you how we collect, share, and protect your personal information. This page explains what we do with your personal information and how we do it.

The types of personal information we collect, and share depend on the product or service you have with us. This information may include:

• Social Security number and income
• Transaction history and credit history
• Employment information and checking account information

All financial companies need to share customers’ personal information to run their everyday business. In the section below, we list the reasons financial companies can share their customers’ personal information; the reasons Lending Bear chooses to share; and whether you can limit this sharing.
