1. Introduction
Hawk Funding Group (“Hawk Funding Group,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal, financial, and business information you share with us.
We provide mortgage brokerage, real estate investment financing, and business funding services. We may connect real estate investors, business owners, and borrowers with lenders and funding partners that offer products such as DSCR rental loans, fix-and-flip financing, hard money loans, multifamily loans, construction loans, bridge loans, and business funding.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect information we receive through our website at hawkfundinggroup.com, by phone, by email, through loan or funding applications, and through other communications with us.
By using our website or submitting information to us, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.
We aim to handle personal and financial information in accordance with applicable federal and state privacy laws, including the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), applicable financial privacy rules, the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), and other applicable state privacy and data protection laws.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information that helps us evaluate funding requests, communicate with applicants, operate our website, comply with legal obligations, and improve our services.
Personal Identifying Information
When you submit an inquiry, application, or supporting documentation, we may collect information such as your full legal name, home or mailing address, email address, phone number, date of birth, Social Security number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number when required, government-issued identification details, business ownership information, and marital status when relevant to a loan or funding product.
We use this information to verify identity, process applications, communicate with you, and comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Financial Information
We may collect financial information, including income information, employment or business information, bank statements, tax returns, W-2s, 1099s, assets and liabilities, credit history and credit scores when authorized, existing debt obligations, business revenue and financial records, and other documentation needed to evaluate a loan or funding request.
This information is used to assess eligibility, prepare applications, match you with potential lenders or funding partners, and support underwriting or approval processes.
Property Information
For real estate-related financing, we may collect information about the property involved, including property address, purchase price or estimated value, property type, intended use, rental income or lease information, property condition, existing liens or mortgages, renovation or construction plans, and real estate portfolio details.
Contact Information
We collect contact information such as your phone number, email address, mailing address, and preferred method of communication. We use this information to respond to inquiries, provide application updates, request documentation, deliver disclosures, and communicate about our services.
Website Usage Information
When you visit our website, we may automatically collect certain technical and usage information, including your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring website, pages visited, time spent on the site, date and time of visit, general location information, and cookie or tracking technology data.
We use this information to operate the website, improve user experience, understand visitor behavior, protect against fraud, and improve our marketing and services.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for business, operational, legal, and compliance purposes.
Loan and Funding Application Processing
We use personal, financial, business, and property information to evaluate, process, package, and submit loan or funding applications. This may include reviewing your financial profile, requesting documentation, ordering credit reports with authorization, reviewing property details, and preparing files for lender or funding partner review.
Lender and Funding Partner Matching
We may use your information to match you with lenders, private capital providers, brokers, or funding partners that may offer products aligned with your needs and qualifications.
Because our services may involve connecting applicants with third-party funding sources, sharing relevant application information with those parties is often necessary to provide our services.
Communications
We use your contact information to communicate with you about application status, document requests, funding options, required disclosures, account or service updates, customer support, follow-up questions, and marketing communications where permitted by law.
Legal and Regulatory Compliance
We may use and retain your information to comply with applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations. These may include laws related to mortgage brokerage, fair lending, consumer protection, anti-fraud, recordkeeping, financial privacy, and reporting obligations.
Security and Fraud Prevention
We may use information to protect our website, customers, business, lenders, funding partners, and others from fraud, unauthorized access, identity theft, misuse, and other security risks.
Service Improvement and Analytics
We may use aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified data to analyze website performance, improve our services, identify customer needs, improve our application process, and develop new offerings.
Marketing
Where permitted by law, we may use your contact information to send information about funding products, market updates, educational content, promotions, or services that may interest you.
You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by emailing team@hawkfundinggroup.com with “Unsubscribe” in the subject line or by following the unsubscribe instructions in any marketing email.
Opting out of marketing emails will not prevent us from sending transactional, application-related, or legally required communications.
4. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information only as needed to provide our services, operate our business, comply with the law, and protect our rights.
Lenders and Funding Partners
We may share your personal, financial, business, and property information with lenders, brokers, private capital providers, banks, credit unions, non-bank lenders, or other funding partners that may evaluate or offer financing options.
These third parties may have their own privacy policies and legal obligations. Once your information is submitted to a lender or funding partner, their privacy practices may also apply.
Service Providers
We may share information with trusted service providers that help us operate our business, process applications, and provide services. These may include credit reporting agencies, appraisal providers, title companies, escrow companies, document management platforms, CRM and software providers, compliance vendors, marketing and analytics providers, payment processors, IT and cybersecurity providers, and professional advisors.
These service providers are expected to use your information only to perform services for us or as otherwise permitted by law.
Legal, Compliance, and Regulatory Purposes
We may disclose information when required or permitted by law, including in response to court orders, subpoenas, regulatory examinations, government requests, law enforcement requests, audits, fraud investigations, legal claims, or disputes.
We may also disclose information when we believe it is necessary to protect our rights, enforce our agreements, prevent fraud, or protect the safety of our customers, business, or others.
Business Transfers
If Hawk Funding Group is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.
What We Do Not Do
We do not sell, rent, or trade your sensitive personal or financial information to unaffiliated third parties for their own independent marketing purposes.
We do not share Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, or sensitive documents except as needed to provide services, process applications, comply with the law, prevent fraud, or as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy.
5. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information.
California Residents
If you are a California resident, you may have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know what categories of personal information we collect, the sources of personal information, the purposes for collecting, using, or sharing personal information, the categories of third parties with whom information is shared, and the right to request access, correction, or deletion of personal information, subject to legal exceptions.
You may also have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information where applicable, limit certain uses and disclosures of sensitive personal information where applicable, and not be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights.
We do not sell personal information for money. If any activity is considered “sharing” under California law, such as certain advertising or analytics activities, you may have the right to opt out.
To submit a California privacy request, please include “California Privacy Request” in your email subject line when contacting us.
Other State Privacy Rights
Residents of certain states may have privacy rights under state law, including rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of personal information, and to opt out of certain data uses.
The rights available to you depend on your state of residence and the type of information involved. We will honor verified privacy requests as required by applicable law.
How to Submit a Privacy Request
To exercise privacy rights, please include your full name, email address, phone number, state of residence, and a description of your request when contacting us.
We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests. Verification may require matching information you provide with information we already maintain. We may deny or limit requests where permitted by law, including where information must be retained for legal, regulatory, security, fraud prevention, or transaction-related purposes.
Authorized Agents
Where required by law, you may authorize another person to submit a privacy request on your behalf. We may require proof of authorization and may also require you to verify your identity directly with us.
