PRIVACY POLICY

Effective Date: January 1, 2025
Last Updated: January 1, 2025
Version: 1.0
// The Short Version — Our Core Promise

Your information is yours. Full stop. AI MCA Exchange was built on one principle — merchants deserve to be treated with respect. That starts with your data. We will never sell your information. We will never share it with brokers. We will never use it to solicit you. Everything in this policy exists to protect you, not to create loopholes around that promise.

// 01
INFORMATION WE COLLECT

When you use AI MCA Exchange, we collect information necessary to provide you with funding options and operate the platform. We collect only what we need — nothing more.

Information you provide directly:

Account information — your name, email address, phone number, and password when you create an account
Business information — business name, type, address, time in business, and industry
Financial information — bank statements, monthly revenue figures, and existing funding positions you submit as part of the funding application process
Identity information — government-issued ID and other verification documents required by our lending partners
Communications — messages you send through our contact form, AI agent interactions, and support correspondence

Information collected automatically:

Usage data — pages visited, features used, and time spent on the platform
Device information — browser type, operating system, and IP address
Cookies and tracking — see our Cookies section below for full details
// 02
HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We use the information we collect for specific, limited purposes — all of which are directly related to providing you with the best possible funding experience.

Purpose How We Use It
Funding Matching To analyze your file and match it to the most appropriate direct lender based on your business profile, revenue, and funding needs
Account Management To create and maintain your account, authenticate your identity, and provide access to your personal AI funding agent
Communication To contact you when a funding offer is ready, respond to your inquiries, and send account-related notifications you have requested
Platform Improvement To understand how our platform is used and improve the experience — always in aggregate and anonymized form
Legal Compliance To comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal obligations
Fraud Prevention To detect and prevent fraudulent activity and protect the integrity of the Exchange
// 03
WHAT WE NEVER DO

This section is as important as anything else in this policy. These are absolute commitments — not subject to exceptions, fine print, or future changes without your explicit consent.

We never sell your personal information to any third party, data broker, lead aggregator, or marketing company — ever, under any circumstances
We never share your information with MCA brokers — your file goes directly to matched lenders only, never to brokers or their networks
We never send unsolicited funding solicitations — we will never text, call, or email you asking if you need funding. You reach out to us. Not the other way around
We never shop your file — your financial documents are never sent to multiple lenders simultaneously without your knowledge and consent
We never allow advertisers to target you based on your financial information or funding activity on our platform
We never use your data for purposes beyond this policy without first obtaining your explicit consent

The bottom line: Your information is used to get you funded — and nothing else. The moment that purpose is served, your data is protected, retained only as required by law, and never monetized.

// 04
INFORMATION SHARING

We share your information only in the following limited, necessary circumstances:

Direct lenders on our Exchange — when you authorize us to submit your file, your information is shared only with the specific lender or lenders matched to your profile. You will know which lender receives your file before submission.
Service providers — we work with trusted technology partners who help us operate the platform (hosting, security, payment processing). These partners are contractually prohibited from using your data for any purpose other than providing services to us.
Legal requirements — we may disclose your information when required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of AI MCA Exchange, our users, or the public.
Business transfers — in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred. We will notify you and ensure the same privacy protections apply.

In every case above, we share only the minimum information necessary to fulfill the specific purpose.

// 05
DATA SECURITY

You are trusting us with sensitive financial information. We take that seriously and implement industry-standard security measures to protect it.

256-bit SSL encryption on all data transmitted to and from our platform
Encrypted storage for all sensitive financial documents and personal information at rest
Access controls — your data is accessible only to authorized personnel with a legitimate need
Regular security audits to identify and address vulnerabilities
Secure document handling — financial documents are processed in isolated environments and never stored in unprotected systems

While no system is completely immune to security risks, we are committed to maintaining the highest practical standard of protection for your information. In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you as required by applicable law.

// 06
DATA RETENTION

We retain your information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, comply with legal obligations, and resolve any disputes.

Data Type Retention Period
Account information Duration of your account plus 3 years after closure
Financial documents Duration of the application process plus 5 years for compliance purposes
Funded deal records 7 years as required by financial regulations
Communication records 3 years from the date of communication
Usage and analytics data 24 months, anonymized after 12 months

You may request deletion of your account and personal information at any time. We will honor deletion requests to the fullest extent permitted by law and our legal obligations.

// 07
YOUR RIGHTS

You have meaningful rights over your personal information. We are committed to honoring these rights promptly and without unnecessary barriers.

Right to access — you may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you at any time
Right to correction — you may request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete information
Right to deletion — you may request that we delete your personal information, subject to our legal obligations
Right to portability — you may request your data in a structured, machine-readable format
Right to opt out — you may opt out of any non-essential communications at any time
Right to restrict processing — in certain circumstances, you may request that we limit how we use your information

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@aimcaexchange.com. We will respond within 30 days.

California residents have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know, delete, and opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information — ever — but we honor all CCPA requests regardless.

// 08
COOKIES

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve our platform. We use the minimum necessary — we are not in the business of surveillance.

Essential cookies — required for the platform to function, including login sessions and security. These cannot be disabled.
Analytics cookies — help us understand how the platform is used so we can improve it. Anonymized and aggregated only.
Preference cookies — remember your settings and preferences to personalize your experience.

We do not use advertising cookies or allow third-party advertising trackers on our platform. You can control cookie settings through your browser. Disabling non-essential cookies will not affect your ability to use the platform.

// 09
COMMUNICATIONS

This section reflects one of our most important commitments to you — and it is unlike anything you will read in a standard privacy policy.

We will only contact you when you have asked us to, or when there is a real, specific reason directly related to your account or your funding.

Communications you will receive from us:

Account creation and verification confirmations
Notification that a funding offer is ready for your review
Responses to messages you have sent us
Security alerts and important account notices
Information you have specifically requested

Communications you will never receive from us:

Unsolicited texts, calls, or emails asking if you need funding
Marketing from third-party companies using your contact information
Promotional messages from lenders on our platform
Any communication designed to pressure or solicit you

You may opt out of any non-essential communications at any time by contacting us at privacy@aimcaexchange.com or by replying STOP to any text message.

// 10
CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

AI MCA Exchange is a business funding platform intended exclusively for adults operating legitimate businesses. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at privacy@aimcaexchange.com and we will promptly delete it.

// 11
POLICY CHANGES

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will notify you by email and post a prominent notice on our platform at least 30 days before the changes take effect.

Your continued use of AI MCA Exchange after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. If you do not agree with the changes, you may close your account and request deletion of your information at any time.

We will never use a policy update to reduce your privacy protections or introduce practices that conflict with our core commitment — your information is yours and will never be sold or misused.

QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS POLICY?

We mean everything in this policy and we're happy to talk through any of it. If you have questions, concerns, or want to exercise any of your rights, reach out directly.
