What we do
How does TitleMax protect my personal information?

To protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use, we use security measures that comply with federal law. These measures include computer and mobile application safeguards and secured files and buildings.

We also maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards (i.e., computer virus protection software, firewalls, encryption). Only authorized employees have access. Customer access to electronically stored account documents and information is protected via customer-created or customer-specific usernames and passwords.

How does TitleMax collect my personal information?

We collect your personal information, for example, when you:

  • Apply for credit or credit services or give us your income information
  • Open an account or provide employment information
  • Show us your valid government-issued ID
  • Provide payment account or bank account information

We also collect your personal information from others, such as credit bureaus and similar data providers, our affiliated companies, and other organizations.

Why can’t I limit all sharing?

Federal law gives you the right to limit only:

  • Sharing for affiliates’ everyday business purposes – information about your creditworthiness
  • Affiliates from using your information to market you
  • Sharing for non-affiliates to market you

State laws and individual companies may give you additional rights to limit sharing. See “Other Important Information” below for more on your rights under state law.

What happens when I limit sharing for an account I hold jointly with someone else? Your choices will apply to everyone on your account.
