MaeBridge Privacy Notice

Effective Date: 07/31/2026

MaeBridge ("MaeBridge," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal and business information you provide to us. This Privacy Notice explains how MaeBridge collects, uses, stores, and discloses information obtained through our website, online forms, communications, and services.

This Privacy Notice applies to information collected through the MaeBridge website and related services operated by MaeBridge. It does not apply to the privacy practices of third-party websites, lenders, service providers, or other companies that may be linked to or accessed through our website.

1. Information We Collect

You may browse the MaeBridge website without creating an account or registering as a member. MaeBridge does not require visitors to create a user account to access the website.

When you voluntarily submit information through a MaeBridge contact, consultation, or loan-packaging form, we may collect information such as:

• Name and contact information, including email address and telephone number;

• Business name, business type, industry, and location;

• Information regarding your financing needs, including requested loan amount and intended use of funds;

• Business information and financial information that you choose to provide;

• Information concerning your lending or financing history, when relevant to the services you request;

• Documents and other materials that you voluntarily provide for purposes of preparing a loan package;

• Information contained in communications between you and MaeBridge; and

• Basic technical information associated with your visit to our website, such as IP address, browser type, device information, and general website activity, to the extent collected by the website or its service providers.

MaeBridge does not require visitors to provide highly sensitive information through its general website contact forms. Unless specifically instructed otherwise through a secure method, please do not submit Social Security numbers, bank account login credentials, passwords, credit-card numbers, or similar highly sensitive information through a general website form.

2. Google Forms and Third-Party Technology

MaeBridge may use Google Forms and other third-party technology to collect information submitted through our website.

Information submitted through a Google Form may be transmitted to and stored within systems operated by Google or other service providers used by MaeBridge. The handling of information by those third parties may also be subject to their own privacy policies and terms.

MaeBridge does not control the privacy practices of third-party providers and encourages users to review applicable third-party privacy policies.

3. How MaeBridge Uses Information

MaeBridge may use information you provide to:

• Respond to inquiries and requests;

• Communicate with you regarding your financing needs;

• Assist with organizing and preparing information and documentation for an SBA or other business loan package;

• Provide loan-package templates, checklists, and related resources;

• Understand the type of financing and lending opportunity you are seeking;

• Identify potential lending partners whose lending criteria may be reasonably aligned with the information you provide;

• Facilitate introductions or referrals to potential lending partners;

• Communicate with you regarding services you have requested;

• Maintain appropriate business records;

• Improve our website and services;

• Protect the security and integrity of our website and business; and

• Comply with applicable law, legal process, or regulatory requirements.

MaeBridge does not use the information it collects to provide legal, tax, accounting, investment, or business consulting advice.

4. Sharing Information With Potential Lending Partners

When you request assistance in pursuing financing, you authorize MaeBridge to use relevant information you provide for the purpose of evaluating potential lending opportunities and facilitating appropriate lender referrals.

This may include sharing applicable information and documentation with potential lending partners when reasonably necessary to evaluate or facilitate the financing opportunity you have requested.

The information shared may include business, financial, contact, and loan-request information relevant to the potential financing opportunity.

MaeBridge seeks to connect borrowers with potential lending partners based on information provided by the borrower and the lender's general requirements. However, MaeBridge does not guarantee that a particular lender will review, approve, or fund a request.

Each lender independently determines whether to pursue a financing opportunity and is responsible for its own underwriting, credit review, approval decisions, loan terms, and funding.

Once information is provided to a potential lending partner, that lender's use of the information may be governed by the lender's own privacy policy and applicable laws.

5. Service Providers

MaeBridge may use trusted third-party service providers to assist with website hosting, form processing, communications, scheduling, data storage, analytics, security, document management, and other functions necessary to operate the business.

These providers may have access to information as reasonably necessary to perform services on MaeBridge's behalf and are expected to use such information for authorized business purposes.

6. Information We Do Not Sell

MaeBridge does not sell personal information as a source of revenue.

We may disclose information to potential lending partners, service providers, professional advisers, government authorities, or other parties when reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice or when required or permitted by law.

7. Business and Financial Information

Because MaeBridge assists with loan-package preparation and lender referrals, individuals may voluntarily provide business or financial information that may be sensitive or confidential.

MaeBridge uses such information only for legitimate business purposes associated with the services requested, including preparing or organizing a loan package and facilitating a potential lender referral.

You are responsible for ensuring that information and documents you provide to MaeBridge are accurate and that you have the authority to provide information concerning your business or other individuals.

8. Information Security

MaeBridge takes reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information in its possession against unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Because MaeBridge may use third-party services such as Google Forms and cloud-based systems, information may be processed or stored using those providers' systems.

No electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, MaeBridge cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted electronically.

If MaeBridge determines that applicable law requires notification concerning a security incident involving personal information, MaeBridge will provide notice as required by applicable law.

9. Cookies and Website Technologies

The MaeBridge website or its third-party service providers may use cookies, analytics tools, or similar technologies to operate the website, understand website usage, improve performance, and maintain security.

The specific technologies used may change over time as website functionality changes.

You may be able to control certain cookies and similar technologies through your browser settings. Disabling some technologies may affect certain website functionality.

MaeBridge does not use cookies or similar technologies to intentionally collect sensitive financial information from visitors.

10. Communications and Marketing

MaeBridge may use contact information you provide to respond to inquiries, provide requested services, communicate regarding a financing request, or provide information related to MaeBridge services.

Where permitted by law, MaeBridge may also send occasional business communications or marketing messages.

You may unsubscribe from nonessential marketing communications by following the unsubscribe instructions included in the communication or by contacting MaeBridge using the information provided below.

Unsubscribing from marketing communications does not prevent MaeBridge from sending service-related communications that are necessary to respond to a request you have made or to provide services you have requested.

11. Data Retention

MaeBridge retains information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including providing requested services, maintaining business records, facilitating financing requests, complying with legal or regulatory obligations, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and protecting legitimate business interests.

Information may remain in backup systems or records for a reasonable period after deletion where required for legitimate business, legal, security, or compliance purposes.

• Request access to certain personal information;

• Request correction of inaccurate information;

MaeBridge will honor applicable privacy rights to the extent required by applicable law.

13. Notice at Collection

Where required by applicable law, MaeBridge will provide additional information at or before the point personal information is collected, including the categories of information collected and the purposes for which the information will be used.

For information submitted through a MaeBridge online form, the form may contain an additional privacy notice describing the information being requested and how it will be used.

14. Third-Party Websites and Lenders

The MaeBridge website may contain links to third-party websites, including websites operated by potential lenders, professional advisers, or other organizations.

MaeBridge does not control and is not responsible for the privacy practices or security practices of third-party websites.

When you visit a third-party website or submit information directly to a lender or other third party, that party's privacy policy and terms will govern its collection and use of your information.

15. Testimonials and Reviews

MaeBridge may display testimonials, reviews, or comments from clients or other individuals.

MaeBridge will seek appropriate permission before publicly identifying an individual with a testimonial or review where such identification would reveal personal information not otherwise publicly available.
