Information We Collect
We may collect the following types of information when you interact with our website or our team:

How We Use Your Information
The information we collect is used solely to serve you and operate our business responsibly. Specifically, we use collected data to:

Sharing Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties — ever. This is a core commitment, not a policy footnote.
We may share information in the following limited circumstances:
- Lender Partners — When processing a mortgage application, your information is shared with lenders as necessary to obtain rate quotes and process your loan. This is the nature of mortgage brokerage.
- Service Providers — Third-party tools that help us operate our website and business (e.g., CRM, analytics, email platforms). These providers are contractually prohibited from using your data for their own purposes.
- Legal Authorities — When required by law, regulation, or valid legal process, or to protect the rights and safety of our clients or our business.
Your Rights & Choices
You have meaningful control over your personal information. Specifically, you have the right to:
- Access — Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
- Correction — Request that inaccurate or incomplete information be updated
- Deletion — Request that your personal data be deleted, subject to any legal retention obligations
- Opt-Out — Unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time via the link in any email or by contacting us directly
- Data Portability — Request your data in a portable format where technically feasible
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@professorlending.com. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
Security Measures
We take data security seriously and have implemented industry-standard protections for all application and borrower data. Our security infrastructure includes:
All application and borrower data is hosted on secure, cloud-based SOC 2-compliant Amazon Web Services infrastructure.
Private borrower data is encrypted both in transit and at rest using 256-bit or higher encryption.
Secure backups are maintained at AWS cloud facilities to enable data recovery in the event of an incident.
We carry out endpoint monitoring to protect against malware and similar attacks on our systems.
We use AWS GuardDuty and related security tools to detect abnormal behavior or unauthorized activity.
We run regular security and penetration tests using third-party security tools against our infrastructure.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
Continued use of our website or services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
