Why can't I limit all sharing?

• sharing for affiliates' everyday business purposes – information about your creditworthiness
• affiliates from using your information to market to you
• sharing for nonaffiliates to market to you

Affiliates

Companies related by common ownership or control.
Our affiliates include financial companies such as other lenders.

Nonaffiliates

Companies not related by common ownership or control. They can be financial and nonfinancial companies.

• Nonaffiliates we share with can include other lenders and direct marketing companies.

Cookies

Internet Protocol Address or "IP Address"
