Sale of Personal Information

How to Contact Us

Allegiant Lending has not “sold” personal information subject to the CCPA in the last twelve (12) months, including personal information of minors under the age of 16.

Consumer Rights and Choices Under CCPA

The CCPA provides California residents with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes consumers’ CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

California consumers have the right to request that Allegiant Lending disclose certain information about the collection and use of personal information over the past 12 months. Before Allegiant Lending discloses information, it will ask for information to verify the requestors identity.  Once Allegiant Lending receives and confirms a verifiable consumer request, we will disclose the following:

• The categories of personal information Allegiant Lending collected about the consumer.
• The categories of sources for the personal information Allegiant Lending collected about the consumer.
• The Allegiant Lending business or commercial purpose for collecting or sharing that personal information.
• The categories of third parties with whom Allegiant Lending shares that personal information.
• If Allegiant Lending disclosed consumer personal information for a business purpose, the business purpose and the categories of personal information that each category of recipient received.

Additionally, if a consumer requests specific pieces of personal information collected by Allegiant Lending and provides the requested identifying information, Allegiant Lending will disclose the specific pieces of personal information to the requestor.

Note: Allegiant Lending may not disclose the requested information if it cannot verify a requestors identity. Allegiant Lending may not disclose certain information covered by one or more exemption from the CCPA, as discussed earlier in this Disclosure. Under no circumstances will Allegiant Lending disclose a consumer’s Social Security number, driver’s license number or other government-issued identification number, financial account number, any health insurance or medical identification number, an account password, or security questions and answers.

Consumers may request deletion of personal information collected and retained by Allegiant Lending. Upon receipt and confirmation of a verifiable consumer request, Allegiant Lending will delete (and/or direct Allegiant Lending service providers to delete) consumer personal information from applicable records, unless an exception applies.  If Allegiant Lending denies a consumer deletion request, it will inform the consumer and explain the basis for the denial.

A consumer may exercise the rights described above by submitting a request to Allegiant Lending by Calling us at  (800) 769-2372

A consumer must describe the request with enough detail so that Allegiant Lending may properly understand, evaluate, and respond to the request.  A consumer may request access or data portability no more than twice within any 12-month period.

Only the consumer, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State authorized to act on behalf of the consumer, may make a request related to the consumer’s personal information. A consumer may also make a request on behalf of the consumer’s minor child.

Allegiant Lending will respond only to requests that are verifiable consumer requests.  As a result, Allegiant Lending will seek to verify a consumer’s identity upon receipt of any request. Allegiant Lending will ask information from the requestor that enables identification, such as the consumer’s email address or the last four digits of the consumer’s social security number.  Allegiant Lending also may use a third-party verification provider to verify a consumer’s identity.

Allegiant Lending cannot respond to a request or provide a consumer with personal information if it cannot verify the identity of the consumer, the authority of a third party to make the request, and/or confirm the requested personal information relates to the consumer.  Making a request does not require the creation of an account with Allegiant Lending.  Allegiant Lending will only use personal information provided in a request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

Allegiant Lending strives to respond to each verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt.  If Allegiant Lending requires more time, it will inform the requestor of the reason and extension period in writing.  If the requestor has a pre-existing account with Allegiant Lending, Allegiant Lending may deliver its written response by means of that account.  If the requestor does not have a pre-existing account, Allegiant Lending may deliver its written response either by mail or electronically. Any disclosures provided by Allegiant Lending will cover the 12-month period preceding the receipt of the verifiable consumer request. For data portability requests, Allegiant Lending will select a format to provide a consumer’s personal information that is readily useable and allows the consumer to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

Allegiant Lending does not charge a fee to process or respond to a verifiable consumer request unless the request is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.  If Allegiant Lending determines a request warrants a fee, CrossCountry will inform the consumer of the decision and provide a cost estimate before completing the request.

Identifiers

This California Consumer Privacy Act Disclosure (“Disclosure”) is meant to supplement the Allegiant Lending, LLC (“Allegiant Lending”) online Privacy Statement, https://www.allegiantlending.com/privacy-policy, and explain how Allegiant Lending collects, uses, and discloses personal information relating to California residents covered by the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”). This Disclosure applies solely to visitors, users, applicants, and others who reside in the State of California (hereinafter referred to as a “consumer” or “consumers”). Any terms used in this Disclosure, but not defined herein, have the same definition as used in the CCPA.

The CCPA applies to consumers’ personal information, or information that identifies, relates to, or could be reasonably linked, directly or indirectly, with a California resident. Consumers’ personal information does not include information subject to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”). Information subject to GLBA includes, without limitation: information provided to Allegiant Lending during the mortgage application process, information that results from the mortgage transaction; or, information Allegiant Lending otherwise obtains in connection with providing the mortgage.

The personal information Allegiant Lending collects, uses, and discloses varies based upon the relationship and/or interactions with an individual. For example, personal information collected from a consumer who visits the Allegiant Lending website and submits a mortgage application online may differ from personal information collected from a consumer who does business with Allegiant Lending in-person.
