Sharing Information with our Alliance Partners

When you are referred to us by one of these alliances, either directly or through an electronic connection that you have used in filing an application for a business service, we will share information about you with that specific alliance partner so that they may assess their success in reaching people or businesses such as you.
We do not share with our alliance partners personal consumer credit related information that is not public information but do share demographic information so that they may analyze the impact they are having on the small business community.
