California Consumer Privacy Act Disclosure

At Figure, we are committed to safeguarding your privacy.

This California Consumer Privacy Act Disclosure (the “Disclosure”) explains how Figure Lending Corp., together with its affiliates and subsidiaries (including Figure Lending LLC dba Figure) (collectively, “Figure,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), collects, uses and discloses personal information relating to California residents (“you” or “your”) who are subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020) and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “CCPA”). It also describes the categories of personal data we collect, the purposes for which that information is collected, a summary of the rights you have and how to exercise those rights. This Disclosure should be read in conjunction with Figure’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which are incorporated herein by reference.

What Personal Information is Covered by the CCPA?

Under the CCPA, “personal information” is information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular California resident or household. It does not include publicly available information that has been aggregated or de-identified.

The CCPA does not apply to certain information such as information subject to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and certain other state or federal privacy laws. For example, this CCPA Disclosure does not apply to information that we collect about individuals who seek, apply for, or obtain our financial products and services for personal, family or household purposes, which is subject to our GLBA Notice, or other financial privacy notice applicable to the Figure services that you visit or use.

This CCPA Disclosure does not apply to information we collect in the context of a person’s role as a job applicant, employee, associate, contractor that is governed by our Figure Workforce Privacy Statement.

Types of Personal Information We Collect

Most of the personal information that we maintain has been collected in the context of providing financial products and services for personal, family, or household purposes, and therefore is not subject to the CCPA. However, we also collect personal information relating to California residents in other contexts, including in connection with our marketing activities, our websites and mobile applications.

In the past 12 months, we may have collected the following categories of personal information, as defined by the CCPA, relating to California residents. The categories of personal information that we collect, use, and disclose about a California resident will depend on our specific relationship. We may disclose categories of personal information for business purposes to our third-party service providers, our affiliates and business partners, and regulators / government agencies. We may also continue to collect these categories of personal information. The examples provided in each category below are for illustrative purposes only.

California law does not afford you rights to limit the use or disclosure of your sensitive personal information for these purposes. In addition, we may draw inferences about you based on the information you provide, such as individual preferences or characteristics, and we may collect and use information as described to you when collecting the information.
