PRIVACY POLICY

Last Updated: April 02, 2024

LendingTree, LLC, and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively,
“LendingTree,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) are committed to maintaining your
confidence and trust as it relates to the privacy and security of your personal
information. This Privacy Policy describes how we use, disclose, and protect the
personal information collected:

• through our website, www.lendingtree.com, and any other websites or mobile
apps where this Privacy Policy is posted or linked (collectively, the “Digital
Properties”) and any services available through the Digital Properties;
• in connection with the delivery of our products and services to our customers;
• in connection with our business development and marketing activities; and
• through our other offline and business interactions.

Collectively, we refer to our online and offline interactions with you as the
“Services.” In this Privacy Policy, “personal information” means any information
that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being
associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to an
individual. Please carefully review this Privacy Policy to learn more about our
information handling and privacy practices. If you are a California resident,
click here for more information about our privacy practices and your rights. For
details regarding our handling of financial information and your choices with
respect to such information, review our Financial Privacy Disclosure.

PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Depending on your use of the Services and how you otherwise interact with us, we
may collect or obtain information from and about you in several ways, including:
(1) directly from you; (2) automatically when you visit and interact with the
Digital Properties; and (3) from third parties. Additional details regarding our
collection of your personal information are included below.

Information provided by you
When you visit and interact with the Digital Properties or otherwise engage with
us, we collect personal information that you share with us. For example, we may
collect personal information when you contact us (via phone, email, etc.),
request that we send you promotional communications or other materials, or
otherwise communicate with us.

Depending on the context of your interactions with us and the Services, the
categories of personal information that we may collect directly from you
include:

• Contact information, including your name, street address, telephone number,
and email address.
• Identifying information, including your LendingTree account name, Social
Security number, date of birth, and other similar identifiers.
• Correspondence and communications, including recordings of our email and phone
conversations with you and any correspondence related to providing you with the
Services.
• Preferences, including how frequently you wish to receive marketing and
promotional communications from us.
• Other information you choose to provide, including information you include in
any webforms that you complete and submit on the Digital Properties and other
information that you provide during your interactions with us.

Where applicable, we may indicate whether and why you must provide us with your
personal information as well as the consequences of failing to do so. For
example, it may be necessary for you to disclose certain personal information in
order for us to provide the Services to you.

You may voluntarily provide certain information to us when you interact with an
automated assistance chatbot on the Digital Properties, which our service
provider enables on our behalf. Note that your conversations with any chatbot
present on the Digital Properties may be monitored and recorded and any personal
information you provide will be handled by us and our service provider in
accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Some personal information that we receive from you may relate to other
individuals (e.g., co-borrowers). You are responsible for obtaining all
necessary permissions to provide personal information relating to other
individuals to us.

Information collected through automated means
When you visit and interact with the Digital Properties, we (and our service
providers and partners) may use cookies, pixels, web beacons, software
development kits (SDKs), and other similar tracking technologies to collect
certain information automatically.

The specific types of information we (and our service providers and partners)
may collect include:

● Device information, which includes the Internet Protocol (IP) address and/or
other unique identifier(s) assigned to your device; the location of your device;
and other information about your browser, device, and operating system.
● Usage information, which includes information about your interaction(s) with
the Digital Properties (e.g., the date and time of your visit(s); the area(s) or
page(s) that you visit; the amount of time you spend on a page or use the
Digital Properties; the domain name from which you accessed the Digital
Properties; and other click-stream or usage information).
We (and our service providers and partners) may use cookies or other similar
technologies to collect information about your behavior on the Digital
Properties (e.g., how you move and scroll through the Digital Properties, your
keystrokes, how you interact with webforms, etc.) and the actions that you take
upon receipt of an email from us.

Analytics
We use third-party analytics and tracking tools to better understand who is
using the Digital Properties, how the Digital Properties are used, and how to
improve the effectiveness of the Digital Properties and related content. We may
also use the information collected to draw inferences. For example, we use
Google Analytics to better understand how users interact with the Digital
Properties. For information on Google Analytics’ information-handling practices
and how you can control the use of information sent to Google, visit
https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. If you wish to prevent
your information from being used by Google Analytics, Google has developed the
Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on available at
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Interest-based advertising
We use third-party tools and services to serve interest-based advertisements to
you across the internet. These tools may include cookies, pixels, web beacons,
and/or other similar tracking technologies that automatically collect, store,
and/or transmit certain information about your interaction(s) with the Digital
Properties and other websites and mobile apps that you interact with and use
across your devices. Our third-party service providers and partners use the
collected information to serve advertisements to you and measure the performance
of our advertising campaigns. To learn more about your interest-based
advertising choices, see the “Your Choices” section below.

You may be able to adjust your device or browser settings to limit certain
tracking or to decline cookies. Refer to your device’s settings or your
browser’s “Help” section for more information on how to delete cookies and/or
disable your device or browser from receiving cookies or adjust your tracking
preferences. Additional information about cookies, including how to manage them,
can be found here: https://allaboutcookies.org/.

Site recording technology
We use third-party site-visit recording technologies to memorialize visits to
our Digital Properties. Scripts from these technologies are embedded on our
Digital Properties and collect information when you interact with pages where
the scripts are present. These technologies collect information such as page
URL, mouse movements and clicks, information you input, snapshots of pages you
visit, time spent on a page, date and time of various interactions with a page,
and HTTP headers from your browser. By visiting our Digital Properties or using
our Services, you acknowledge and agree to our use of such site recording
technologies and the collection, maintenance, and use of information these
technologies collect.

ChatBot Technology

We use chatbots on certain Digital Properties to help provide customer service
and support, including through the use of a virtual assistant. A chatbot is a
software application that mimics human conversations in text or voice
interactions on our website. It enables the communication between a human and a
machine, which can take the form of messages or voice commands. The chatbot is
designed to work without the assistance of a human operator. It responds to
questions posed to it in natural language as if it were a real person using a
combination of pre-programmed scripts, machine learning, and generative
artificial intelligence (“AI”). When asked a question, the chatbot will answer
using the knowledge database that is currently available to it. If the
conversation introduces a concept the chatbot is not programmed to understand,
it will advise of its limitations. The chatbot functionality is limited to
LendingTree customer service and support inquiries and may not be monitored in
real time. If you use our chatbot service, we will collect and maintain any
information you provide to us when using the chatbot. You are responsible for
the information you share with the chatbot, and we strongly advise you not to
input sensitive or personal information, such as financial or account details or
other confidential information. We will also create and store a transcript of
your chat interaction with us, which will be stored by our third-party service
provider. We may use these transcripts and the information you provide for
quality control, customer service, fraud prevention, and security.

Information collected from other sources

We may obtain your personal information from other sources, including, for
example, credit bureaus, our service providers, our customers, lead generators,
social media platforms, Network Partners (as defined below), and other partners.

The information that we receive from other sources may include contact
information, demographic information, consumer credit reports, credit scores,
credit history, and other consumer reports/credit information, financial
information (e.g., information about an account and the terms, amount, usage, or
disposition of a loan or other financial product received from a Network
Partner), and internet or other electronic network activity information.

We use the personal information that we receive from other sources to help us
maintain the accuracy of or supplement the information we collect; personalize
your experience with the Services; conduct internal business analysis; and
fulfill other business or commercial purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Combination of information
We may combine personal information that we receive from and about you,
including information you provide to us, information we automatically collect
through the Digital Properties, and information we receive from third-party
sources. Where applicable, we will use, disclose, and protect the combined
information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

● Providing the Services, including to operate, maintain, support, and provide
the Services.

(e.g., to provide the Services and information that you request or to respond to

responding to lawful requests and communications from law enforcement

INFORMATION SECURITY

We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural measures designed to safeguard
your personal information from unauthorized access and disclosure. However, no
system can be completely secure. Therefore, although we take steps to secure
your information, we cannot guarantee your information, searches, or other
communications will always remain secure.

INFORMATION RETENTION

We will retain your personal information at least as long as necessary to
fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, including to satisfy our
legal or reporting requirements, unless a longer retention period is required or
allowed under law. We reserve the right to retain your personal information to
the extent allowed by applicable law. We also reserve the right to provide
access to or delete personal information only to the extent required by
applicable law

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we
consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of personal information; the
potential risk from deletion, unauthorized use, or disclosure of the personal
information; the purpose(s) for which we use or may use the personal
information; whether we can achieve the purpose(s) through other means; and the
applicable legal requirements.

If we de-identify information, we will maintain and use the information in
de-identified form and not attempt to re-identify the information except as
required or permitted by law.

THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

The Digital Properties may contain features or links to websites and services
provided by third parties, including social media widgets and plugins, which are
not governed by this Privacy Policy. Any personal information you provide to the
owner or operator of another website or a third-party service is provided
directly to the owner or operator and is subject to its privacy policy, even if
accessed through the Digital Properties. We encourage you to review all third
parties’ privacy policies before providing them with your personal information.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

The Services are not intended for or directed to individuals under the age of
18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under
the age of 18.

are governed by the laws of the United States. All Services may not be available
in all U.S. states or territories. We make no representation that our Digital
Properties are governed by or operated in accordance with the laws of any other
nation or foreign jurisdiction.

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our
information handling and privacy practices and/or changes in applicable law. The
“Last Updated” date at the top of this page indicates when this Privacy Policy
was last revised. If we make changes, we will revise the date at the top of this
page and, in the case of material changes, we will provide you with additional
notice if required by applicable law. Unless otherwise stated, the current
version of this Privacy Policy applies to all Digital Properties and all
personal information under our control. We encourage you to review this Privacy
Policy periodically to remain informed about our information handling and
privacy practices. By visiting or using our Digital Properties, you agree that
