Privacy Policy

National Auto Loan Network™ (NALN) is committed to protecting the privacy of our customers. This notice describes our privacy policy.

It is important for you to know that we do not, nor will we ever, sell, share, trade or rent names or other information about our customers to third-party marketers.

Purpose of this Notice

NALN is a financial institution, so personal information we collect on you is protected by GLBA, not the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). In compliance with the GLBA, we are providing you with this document, which notifies you of the privacy policies and practices of our agency.

How to Remove Your Name from Credit Offers

If you prefer not to receive unsolicited pre-approved credit offers, you can remove your name from lists used by credit reporting agencies (CRAs) for these purposes. To remove your name and address, call 888/5OPTOUT (888/567-8688) or go to www.optoutprescreen.com.

When you call to remove your name from credit bureau lists, you will be given a choice to opt out for five years or permanently. Even though your request becomes effective within a week of calling, it may take several months before you see a reduction in the amount of unsolicited offers of credit.

How to Reduce Telemarketing Calls

The National Do Not Call Registry was created to offer consumers a choice regarding telemarketing calls and gives you an opportunity to limit the telemarketing calls you receive. The National Do Not Call Registry is managed by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation’s consumer protection agency. Thirty-one days after placing your phone number on the registry, most (but not all) telemarketers should stop calling. For more information on the National Do Not Call Registry, or to register your phone number, go to www.donotcall.gov or call 888/382-1222. Telephone numbers placed on the National Do Not Call Registry will remain on it permanently (unless you choose to remove it) due to the Do-Not-Call Improvement Act of 2007, which became law in February 2008. If you have previously registered your phone number, your registration will not expire after five years, but instead will be permanent.

How to Reduce Junk Mail

The Direct Marketing Association (DMA) sponsors Mail Preference Service (MPS), which has been helping consumers since 1971 limit the national non-profit or commercial mail they receive at home. If you would like to reduce the amount of advertising you receive from companies, you can register for this service online or by mail. The DMA charges a $1 fee for mail registrations.

Direct Marketing Association P.O. Box 643

Carmel, NY 10512 www.dmaconsumers.org/consumerassistance.html

If you contact that agency, you will have the option of removing your name from catalog offers of specific companies, other mail offers of specific companies, or all mail offers. Your name will be removed from your list(s) of choice for three years. Removing your name from these lists will not end all solicitations from businesses that do not subscribe to the service or companies with which you do business. To eliminate mail from those businesses—as well as mail addressed to “occupant” or “resident”—write directly to each source.
