Privacy Policy
This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. The Lending Desk is an editorial publication; it is not a lender.
Information we collect
When you submit a consultation request or join a list, we collect the information you provide — such as email, deal type, and property state — plus basic technical data (IP address, device and browser user-agent) for security and audit purposes.
How we use it
We use your information to respond to your inquiry, to route qualified investor requests to a licensed loan officer, and to operate and improve the publication. We do not sell your personal information.
Your privacy choices
Depending on your state, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal information and to opt out of certain processing. We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signals. We apply one national baseline consistent with the comprehensive state privacy laws now in effect. To exercise a right, use the contact link in the footer.
Data retention
We retain records of interactions with any algorithmic tools, form submissions, and consent for four years from last activity, consistent with the Massachusetts Attorney General's 2025 settlement with Earnest Operations LLC.
Cookies and analytics
We use first-party analytics to understand site usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
