How We Use Your Information (PII)
Wow-Loans.com reserves the right to use registrant PII for the following purposes:

Other than your email address, we do not share other PII data with third-party advertisers not offering you a loan or solution for your cash needs.
- For Legal Reasons: Wow-Loans.com may disclose registrant PII in order to: (1) comply with applicable laws; (2) respond to governmental inquiries; (3) comply with valid legal process (such as subpoenas or court orders); and (4) protect the rights or property of Wow-loans.com, its affiliated Network Sites, or other registrants of this Site.

Advertisers on Our Site
Wow-loans.com allows advertisers to advertise on our website. Advertisers displaying ads on this website are generally not presented with your PII, except potentially your email address for targeted marketing as described above.
SMS Messaging and Mobile Communications
We may use personal information (like your phone number) to provide services you've requested, potentially including services that display customized content and advertising via SMS (text message).
In addition to any fee of which you are notified, your mobile provider's standard messaging rates apply to our confirmation message and all subsequent SMS correspondence.
You may opt-out and remove your SMS information by sending "STOP", "END", or "QUIT" to the SMS text message you have received. If you remove your SMS information from our database, it will no longer be used by us for secondary marketing purposes, disclosed to third parties for their marketing, or used by us or third parties to send promotional correspondence to you via SMS.
Do Not Call Registry Compliance & Consent to Contact
By submitting personal contact and/or financial information through Wow-Loans.com, the user hereby grants written permission (express written consent) to Wow-Loans.com, its affiliated sites, and its business partners (including Lending Partners) for contact via telephone (including calls to mobile numbers, potentially using automated technology), mail, and/or email, even if your number is on a corporate, state, or national Do Not Call list.
Further, by registering at Wow-Loans.com you are consenting to receive phone calls from Wow-Loans.com, its affiliated sites, and its business partners, including but not limited to lenders that may contact you regarding a loan. By providing this consent, registrants waive their right to file a claim with the FTC or any other agency in reference to these calls or contacts based on their Do Not Call registration.
Your consent is not a condition of purchasing any property, goods, or services.
Third Party Offers and Links
By registering at Wow-Loans.com, you may receive follow-up contacts or offers from third-party companies, separate from the Lending Partners. We cannot be responsible for the services or representations of these third-party advertisers.
Wow-Loans.com contains links to other sites (including those of Lending Partners and advertisers). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such external web sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
Security, Fraud, and Abuse
This site has security measures in place intended to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. Wow-loans.com regularly reviews these measures to better protect you. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Your Choices and Opting-Out of Communications
Wow-Loans.com registrants may opt-out of receiving further promotional communications from Wow-Loans.com. Registrants may, at any time, choose not to receive promotional emails from Wow-Loans.com or its Network by:
- Following the "unsubscribe" instructions provided in any Wow-Loans.com promotional e-mail received by the registrant, OR
- Writing to [email protected] with your request.
Note that unsubscribing from one email list does not automatically unsubscribe you from any other email list that you may be on (e.g., if you registered through multiple affiliated sites or opted into different types of communications). Please read the email carefully to find out which list you are unsubscribing from.
Opting out of promotional communications does not necessarily opt you out of essential service-related communications (e.g., related to your account or transactions) or communications from Lending Partners with whom your information has already been shared based on your initial request.
Children's Privacy (Must Be 18 Years or Older)
Wow-Loans.com or its Network is neither intended for, nor directed to, children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect PII from individuals under 18 years of age.
If Wow-loans.com learns that a person who registers on the Site is under the age of 18, Wow-Loans.com will promptly delete that individual's registration and associated PII.
Change in Policy
Wow-Loans.com may, from time to time, amend this Policy, in whole or part, in its sole discretion. We reserve the right to update this Policy at any time.
Depending on the nature of the change, Wow-Loans.com will either announce the change (1) on the privacy policy page of the site (including updating the effective date), or (2) potentially provide additional notice, such as via e-mail to registrants, for material changes.
By continuing to use the Site and not unsubscribing following the posting or announcement of any changes, you will be deemed to have agreed to such changes. If you do not agree with the terms of this Policy, as it may be amended from time to time, in whole or part, you must terminate your registration by unsubscribing or contacting us at [email protected].
Disclosure Regarding Our Service
Payday loans and other short-term loan products are not available in all states.
Wow-Loans.com is a financial matching service and not a financial institution or lender. Wow-Loans.com does not broker loans to lenders or make short term cash loans or credit decisions. Our service is designed to connect prospective borrowers with prospective independent Lending Partners.
Submitting an application does not guarantee approval. Not all independent Loan companies that we provide your information to will approve you for a $1,250 loan or even any loan at all.
Qualifying for final approval of a cash loan depends on various factors including income and the state in which you reside. Lending Partners may verify your supplied information with a number of independent verification and/or credit reporting companies including but not limited to: Microbilt, Teletrack, Accurint, or major credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax, TransUnion). Checking your credit may affect your credit score.
