Terms of Use

Introduction

Respecting and protecting customer privacy is vital to our business. Keeping customer information secure is a priority at Sterling Credit Corp., and we want you to be aware of our intended collection and disclosure of your personal information. This privacy policy explains how we will handle your information, and how we will use it to serve you better. The provisions of this policy will apply to former and current customers, consumers and visitors to our Internet web site, unless we state otherwise. This policy also applies to customers who use our local branch offices to provide personal information.

Confidentiality and Security/With Whom Do We Share Your Information

We restrict access to nonpublic personal information about you to (i) those employees who need to know your information to provide services to you, (ii) third party entities and financial service providers that deliver services to us (such as consumer credit reporting agencies), and (iii) to any entity necessary to effect, administer or enforce a transaction that you have requested or authorized. When we use other companies to provide services for us, we request that they protect the confidentiality of personal information they receive as required by law. The law permits us to share information about our current and former customers with government agencies or authorized third parties under certain circumstances. For example, we may be required to share such information in response to subpoenas or to comply with certain laws, such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal regulations to guard your nonpublic personal information from unauthorized access.

Sterling Credit Corp. reserves the right to allow the original loan company or dealership to assist in collecting payments or provide other customer and accounting services. Sterling Credit Corp. will require that any third party servicing a loan held by us, or that assists us in underwriting or originating a loan, will comply with our privacy policy.
