Privacy Policy
This TGUC Financial, Inc. (“TGUC Financial,” “we,” “us” or “our”) Privacy Policy describes what personally identifiable information and non-personally identifiable information we collect from or about Users (“You,” “Your,” or “Applicant”) to our website, tgucfinancial.com, (“Site”) how we use and show that information and your choices concerning our data practices. To learn about our Terms and Conditions, click here
Personal Information
By using this Site, you agree to allow the Site to collect “Personally Identifiable Information” and “Non-Personally Identifiable Information” from You. These types of information are described below:
Personally Identifiable Information
TGUC Financial collects several types of information that may identify a particular individual (“personally identifiable information”). We collect personally identifiable information when You provide it to us through Your use of the Site and through completing an Agreement with TGUC Financial (“Agreement(s)”), and when a third-party lead generator (“Lead Generator”) provides Your information to us after obtaining Your authorization to submit Your information to TGUC Financial for home-improvement financing. A contractor or other home-service business that You select or authorize through a Lead Generator is referred to in this Privacy Policy as a “Home Service Provider.” Additionally, the Site may collect personally identifiable information when You register with us through our Site, when You complete a form or survey connected to our Site, and through Your usage of our Site. We may also receive Your name, residential or project address, telephone number, email address, information about Your requested home-improvement project, and evidence of Your consent from Lead Generators and Home Service Providers. The types of personally identifiable information we collect may include, but are not limited to: (a) full name; (b) physical mailing address; (c) daytime, evening, residential and mobile telephone number; (d) Social Security Number; (e) email address; (f) date of birth; (g) driver’s license number and state; (h) gender; (i) marital status; (j) occupation; (k) employment information; (l) salary information; (m) credit card information and ID verification information; (n) citizenship status, and (o) loan application, prequalification status, and prequalification amount.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
non-personally identifiable information is anonymous information that cannot be associated with a specific individual. The types of non-personally identifiable information that we collect (either directly, through the use of “cookies,” or through the use of a third party tracking system) may include, but is not limited to: (a) the IP address of the computer making the request; (b) Your browser type and language; (c) access times; (d) information about areas of the Site visited by Users of the Site; (e) information about the links that Users may select to visit on the Site; (f) the type of browser You are using (i.e. Internet Explorer, Firefox); and (g) the type of operating system You have (i.e. Mac OS). IP addresses are not usually associated with Your personal computer, but with a portal through which You accessed the Internet. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information. A “cookie” is a piece of information a website sends to Your computer while You are viewing the website to remember who You are without personally identifying You.
You can manage your cookie preferences through the cookie settings popup that appears when you first visit our Site. You may also control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may limit website functionality.
TGUC Financial may share non-personally identifiable information to improve the design and content of our Site, to allow us to personalize Your experience online, and for the purpose of Site statistical and trend analysis. This information is not linked to any personally identifiable information that can identify an individual person.
Information Collected by Third Parties
We may allow third parties, including advertising partners and lenders, to display advertisements on our Site. These companies may use tracking technologies, including cookies, to collect information about Users of our Site who view or interact with these advertisements. TGUC Financial does not provide personally identifiable information to advertising partners solely because they display advertisements on the Site, except as otherwise disclosed in this Privacy Policy or authorized by You. However, these parties may contact You via email to follow-up or offer You additional services if You have authorized those communications.
How We Use Personally Identifiable Information
We use information collected through this Site or received from Lead Generators and Home Service Providers to deliver and manage the products or services You have requested; evaluate and prequalify You for financing with participating lenders; connect You with a Home Service Provider or Network Contractor; facilitate estimates, project planning, financing, and funded home-improvement transactions; provide You with customer support; to send Your confirmations and/or to provide You with information; to communicate with You by email, postal mail, telephone, and/or mobile devices about products or services that may be of interest to You either from us, our marketing partners, or other third parties; to display advertising tailored to Your interests or background; perform data and statistical analysis on use of the web site; to enforce our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, and to perform any other functions otherwise described to You at the time we collect the information.
We may record and supplement the information we collect online with outside records to enhance our ability to serve You, to tailor our content to You and to offer You opportunities to purchase services or products we have reason to believe may be of interest to You.
Disclosing Your Information
We may disclose Your information to lenders and lending partners to evaluate Your eligibility for home-improvement financing and to process, administer, or service requested financing. If You selected or authorized a Home Service Provider through a Lead Generator, we may disclose Your prequalification status and prequalification amount to that Home Service Provider to facilitate the home-improvement project and related financing You requested. If You have not selected a Home Service Provider, we may offer to connect You with a contractor participating in TGUC Financials’ contractor network (“Network Contractor”). Before making that disclosure, TGUC Financial will request Your authorization to disclose Your name, residential or project address, telephone number, email address, and, if applicable, prequalification status and prequalification amount to the identified Network Contractor. Network Contractors are independent businesses. They may use the information to contact You about home services, estimates, project scheduling, project fulfillment, and related financing. TGUC Financial may receive a referral fee when a consumer referred to a Network Contractor completes a funded transaction. TGUC Financial will disclose a consumer’s contact information and, if applicable, prequalification amount to a Network Contractor only after identifying the Network Contractor to the consumer and obtaining the consumer’s affirmative direction to make the disclosure. TGUC Financial will not disclose the information to an unidentified Network Contractor or to a Network Contractor that was not covered by the consumer’s authorization. TGUC Financial will maintain records of the authorization presented to and provided by the consumer. TGUC Financial does not disclose Your Social Security number, financial account credentials, consumer report, credit score, bureau attributes, tradelines, or underlying consumer-report information to a Home Service Provider or Network Contractor. Any third parties with whom we share personally identifiable information may have their own policies which describe how they use and disclose Your information. Those policies will govern the use, handling, and disclosure of Your information once we have transferred or shared it with those third parties as described in this Policy or our Terms of Use.
TGUC Financial may receive a referral fee when a consumer referred to a Network Contractor completes a funded transaction. As a result, TGUC Financials’ disclosure of personal information to a Network Contractor may constitute a “sale” of personal information under applicable state privacy laws. Where required, You may opt out of such disclosures as described in the California Privacy Policy and Notice below. Subject to Your authorization, applicable law, and any applicable opt-out request, we may disclose the information we collect about You: (a) with lenders and lending partners to evaluate, process, administer, or service requested financing ; (b) to a Home Service Provider or Network Contractor as described above; (c) to third-party vendors to carry out services performed for TGUC Financial; (d) in the event TGUC Financial is sold to another entity, as an asset, Your personal information may be disclosed; (e) in response to a subpoena or similar investigative demand, a court order, or a request for cooperation from a law enforcement agency or other government agency; (f) to establish or exercise our legal rights; (g) to defend against legal claims; (h) as necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activity, suspected fraud or other wrongdoing; (i) to protect and defend the rights, property, or safety of our company, our employees, our Site Users, or others; (j) to enforce our Site terms and conditions or other agreements or policies; and (k) as otherwise required by law.
Disclosing Your Information With Consumer Reporting Agencies
Consumer Reporting Agencies (CRAs) collect and maintain information on consumer and business credit profiles on behalf of organizations in the United States. We may share information about you with CRAs and may carry out periodic searches with them to verify your identity or manage your account.
Details of your account(s) with us may be sent to CRAs and recorded by them. This information may be supplied by CRAs and may be used and searched by us and other organizations, such as lenders, service providers, and debt collection agencies, for permissible purposes including:
-
consider applications for credit and credit related services;
-
manage and collect on your accounts;
-
verify identity and prevent fraud; and
-
locate debtors and recover debts;
You have rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, including:
-
The right to obtain an annual copy of your credit file from CRAs by visiting https://www.annualcreditreport.com.
-
The right to dispute inaccurate or incomplete information with the CRA and us;
-
The right to be informed if information in your credit report has been used against you, such as in denying credit or other adverse actions, along with information on how to obtain a copy of your credit report used in the decision; and
-
The right to restrict sharing of your information with nonaffiliated third parties in certain circumstances.
Modification of Personal Information; Opting Out
To ensure that You have appropriate control over your personally identifiable information, if You would like to review and/or request changes to the personally identifiable information that we have collected about You through Your use of this Site, please contact us in writing or by sending an email to the address below. At Your request and as permitted by law, we will remove Your name and other personally identifiable information from our active databases. Please understand, however, that it may be impossible to remove this information completely, due to backups and records of deletions. If you wish to remove Your name and other personally identifiable information from our database, please send an email to the address listed in this Privacy Policy. As an alternative, you may write to TGUC Financial with your request, at the mailing address set forth herein. You will be removed from our active databases within ten (10) business days of our receipt of Your request. You may also request to review or amend any personal information that we maintain about you, by sending a written request to the same address, subject to our verification of Your identity and acceptance of any proposed revision.
Third Parties: Except as described in this Privacy Policy, we do not share personally identifiable information with anyone, unless we have informed You of a change to our Privacy Policy and given You the opportunity to then choose to opt-out. If You opt out of an applicable disclosure, sale, or marketing communication, TGUC Financial will record Your request and take the steps required by applicable law, including notifying relevant service providers, contractors, or third parties when required. Your request generally will not require an independent third party to delete information lawfully received before Your request. You may contact that third party directly to exercise rights under its privacy policy.
Opt-Out of Communications
By submitting your information on this Site, you consent to receive marketing and other communications from this Site, our affiliate(s) and/or a lender or lending partner within our network only to the extent described in the consent presented when You submit Your information. A Home Service Provider or Network Contractor may contact You when You have selected that business or have separately authorized TGUC Financial to connect You with the identified business. Any consent to receive marketing calls or text messages will identify the businesses covered by the consent and describe the permitted communications. You may opt out of marketing-related communications by following the opt-out or unsubscribe instructions contained in the marketing communications sent to you or emailing us at [email protected] or the relevant sender of the communication. You may continue receiving administrative and services-related messages even if you opt out of receiving marketing communications.
SMS opt-in records and SMS consent information are not sold or disclosed to third parties for their independent marketing purposes. This restriction does not prohibit TGUC Financial from disclosing Your telephone number to a Home Service Provider or an identified Network Contractor when You have requested or authorized the referral and related contact. Consent to receive marketing calls or text messages is not a condition of obtaining financing or purchasing goods or services. You may opt out of TGUC Financial text messages by replying STOP. You should direct an opt-out request concerning another sender to that sender.
Consent
By using the Site, you consent to our collection and use of your information, in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with some, or all of the terms of this Privacy Policy, you may not visit TGUC Financials’ Site.
Links to Third Party Websites
For your convenience, this Site may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that TGUC Financial is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such other websites, which may differ significantly from our own. We encourage our Users to be aware when they leave our websites and to read the privacy statements of each and every website You access. These third-party websites may independently solicit and collect information from You. On occasion, those third-party websites may provide us with information about Your use of those sites.
Security
We have put in place physical, procedural, and technological security measures to help prevent unauthorized access to and improper use of the information we collect online. For example, only authorized employees and authorized third parties are permitted to access personally identifiable information, and they may do so only for permitted business functions. For certain online features or services, such as those that may include personal information, we require the use of username/password and/or encryption technologies for the protection of your personal information. You are responsible for protecting your username, password, and other user account information from disclosure to third parties, and you are restricted from circumventing the use of required encryption technologies. No website or Internet network can be completely secure. While TGUC Financial takes reasonable security precautions to secure the personal information that You provide to us against loss, misuse alteration or unauthorized access, we do not guarantee, and You should not expect, that Your personal information, searches, or other communications will be fully secure. Any transmission of personal information is done at your own risk.
Minors
Our Site does not knowingly collect information from minors under the age of 18 and does not knowingly use such information for any purpose, including marketing purposes. If you are a parent/guardian who knows of a minor who has provided our Site with personally identifying information, please contact us so that we can delete such information from our database.

Categories, Sources, Purposes, and Recipients
TGUC Financial may collect identifiers, financial or commercial information, internet or electronic activity information, and inferences concerning financing eligibility. We collect this information directly from consumers and from Lead Generators, Home Service Providers, lenders, consumer reporting agencies, and service providers. We use this information for the financing, referral, communication, fraud-prevention, security, legal, and operational purposes described in this Privacy Policy. We may disclose the information to lenders, Home Service Providers, Network Contractors, service providers, government authorities, and other recipients described in this Privacy Policy.
Sale of Personal Information
TGUC Financial may disclose identifiers and financial or commercial information, including a consumer’s contact information and prequalification amount, to an identified Network Contractor. Because TGUC Financial may receive a referral fee when the consumer’s transaction is funded, this disclosure may constitute a sale under the CCPA. California residents may opt out by contacting TGUC Financial at [email protected]. TGUC Financial will process opt-out requests and will not resume the applicable sale unless permitted by law. A consumer may separately direct TGUC Financial to disclose personal information to an identified Network Contractor to respond to the consumer’s request for home services.
