If you choose to provide personal information, it will be used for and/or shared with trusted third parties such as Affiliated Loan Providers and/or other financial service providers, credit bureaus, and for marketing products and services that you might find of interest. We reserve the right to share, rent, sell or otherwise disclose your information with/to third parties in accordance with applicable laws.

We may also employ other companies and individuals to perform certain functions on our behalf. Examples include sending direct and electronic mail, removing duplicate information from customer lists, analyzing data, and providing marketing analysis. These agents have access to our users' personal information as needed to perform their functions for aeroadvance.com.

By agreeing to this Privacy Policy or by using this Website, you authorize us to use your information to obtain other information about you from third-parties, such as your Social Security Number, where such information was incompletely or improperly filled out on our registration form.

Any and all information that we collect from you, and from such third-parties, may be used to determine your eligibility for a loan or for other services, products or other offers. If you choose to provide information, such as your Social Security Number, we may use that information to determine your financial status. If you do not provide such information, we may also use other information that you provided for the purpose of verifying your eligibility for a loan or for any other programs, offer or services. Upon qualification, your ultimate loan-specific financial information will be stored and utilized by your applicable lender pursuant to the terms of that lender's Privacy Policy.

You agree that by submitting your information at the Website, you agree to receive mobile marketing including, but not limited to, text-message based marketing, from us and our third party advertisers and marketers.

In addition, by registering and/or using the Website, you agree that such act constitutes an inquiry and/or application for purposes of the Amended Telemarketing Sales Rule (16 CFR §310 et seq.), as amended from time to time (the "Rule"). Notwithstanding that your telephone number may be listed at the Federal Trade Commission's Do-Not-Call List, we retain the right to contact you via telemarketing in accordance with the Rule.
