Please note that if you provide your information to, or otherwise engage with, one of our partners (for example, by clicking through to a partner’s website, submitting an application directly with a lender, or authorizing us to share your information with a specific lender), that partner’s use of your information, including your phone number, will be governed by its own privacy policy and communication practices. Opt-outs regarding communications from partners must be exercised directly with each partner.
