This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and forms part of our Terms of Service. If there is a conflict between this Privacy Policy and any other agreement you have with us, your loan agreement shall control with respect to your loan, and this Privacy Policy shall control with respect to website use and data practices.

§4

How We Share Your Information

Desert Rock Capital does not sell your personal information. We may share information with vendors, service providers, and legal authorities as required to operate our business or comply with law.

We may share information with:

• Loan servicing platform providers

• Payment processing providers

• Identity verification providers

• Legal and court service providers

• Cloud storage and analytics providers

• Marketing and communication providers

To make our sharing fully transparent, the categories of parties we may share nonpublic personal information with, only as needed for the purposes described above and only as permitted or required by law, include: loan servicing and account platform providers; payment and ACH processing providers; banks and financial institutions involved in moving your payments; identity, income, and employment verification services; fraud prevention and public-records providers; skip tracing and data enrichment providers; collection agencies and collection attorneys engaged by us; courts, process servers, and legal and court service providers; our own attorneys, accountants, and auditors; cloud hosting, storage, and analytics providers; communication and messaging providers that send our calls, texts, and emails; insurers and our professional advisors; and government agencies, regulators, and law enforcement when required by law, subpoena, court order, or to protect our rights. Any marketing or communication provider we use acts only as our service provider, sends messages only on our behalf and at our direction, and may not use your information for its own purposes or share it with anyone else. We do not share your information with mortgage or loan brokers, lead generators, or other lenders for their own marketing or origination.

We do NOT:

• Sell personal information

• Share data with third parties for independent marketing

• Rent or lease personal information

• Provide data to credit reporting agencies related to loans

§5

SMS/Text Messaging Privacy

Mobile opt-in data and consent will not be shared with third parties for marketing purposes.

You may receive messages including:

• Payment reminders and confirmations

• Account alerts and servicing messages

• Collections communications

• Promotional messages if opted in

You may opt out anytime by replying STOP or contacting us directly.

Message frequency varies based on your account activity, and message and data rates may apply, charged by your mobile carrier and not by us. Reply HELP for help or contact us at 801-377-3333 or help@desertrockcapital.com. Your consent to marketing text messages is not a condition of obtaining a loan or any service. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. For the full text message program terms, see the SMS / Text Messaging Program Terms in our Terms of Service. Some of our calls may use automated or artificial-intelligence voice technology, and we may monitor or record calls for quality, training, verification, and recordkeeping where permitted by law.

§6

How We Protect Your Information

We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your personal information.

• Encrypted communications

• Access controls and employee authorization

• Vendor confidentiality agreements

• Employee privacy training

• Secure facilities and storage

• Regular security testing and updates

While we use reasonable security measures, no system is completely secure.

We obtain information from the verification, public-records, fraud-prevention, and skip tracing sources listed in Section 2.3 only for permissible purposes allowed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act and other applicable law. The Verification Sources and Identity Theft section of this Privacy Policy describes how we use that information and how to reach us if you believe you are a victim of identity theft.

§7

Your Choices and Rights

You may exercise your rights by contacting us.

• Opt out of information sharing

• Opt out of marketing communications

• Request access to your personal data

• Request corrections to inaccurate data

• Revoke communication consent

• Change your cookie and analytics choices at any time using the "Cookie preferences" link in the website footer (see Section 13)

How to correct your information or withdraw authorizations. You may ask us to correct information about you that is inaccurate or out of date, and we will update our records after we verify the change. You may also withdraw an authorization you gave us, such as consent to call, text, email, or use AI voice messaging, at any time. To stop text messages, reply STOP. To withdraw other consents, or to correct your information, contact our Privacy Department using the details in our Contact Us section, and tell us clearly what you want changed or withdrawn. We will verify your identity before acting on a request. Withdrawing consent for marketing or convenience communications does not stop the account servicing, payment, and legal notices we are required or permitted to send about your loan. Withdrawing an authorization does not undo anything we already did while it was in effect.

§8

Analytics and How We Measure the Site

We use Google Analytics 4 ("GA4"), a measurement service provided by Google LLC, to understand how visitors use our Website. GA4 sets first-party cookies named _ga and _ga_* on your browser when you visit. This measurement runs by default; Section 13 lists the ways to opt out of it entirely, including a Google browser add-on that blocks GA4 on every site.

Through GA4 we collect:

• Usage data such as pages viewed, links and buttons clicked, time on page, and how you arrived at the site

• Approximate location estimated from your IP address, no more precise than the city or metro level

• Device and browser details such as device category, operating system, browser, screen size, and language

• Counts of actions such as starting an application, using the payment calculator, tapping the call button, or opening chat. These event counts carry no names, contact details, or application data.

We use this information to see which pages are useful, how people find us, and where the Website needs improvement. We do not send your name, Social Security number, loan application details, or any other nonpublic personal information to Google Analytics.

§9

Google Signals and Advertising Features

We have enabled Google Signals in our GA4 property. If you are signed in to a Google account and have turned on Ads Personalization in your Google account settings, Google may associate your visits to our Website with that Google account. This supports cross-device measurement (recognizing that a phone visit and a laptop visit came from the same person) and gives us aggregated reports about the demographics and interests of our visitors, as estimated by Google.

Google applies minimum thresholds before showing us any of this data. We only ever see aggregate statistics. We cannot see your identity, your Google account, or your individual browsing.

We use these features for measurement and insight only. Our Website does not run third-party advertising networks, and we do not use Google Signals to build retargeting audiences or to show you personalized ads.

You can disconnect this association at any time in your Google account: review and delete activity at myactivity.google.com, and turn off Ads Personalization at adssettings.google.com.

§10

Granular Location and Device Data

When analytics is running, Google Analytics estimates your approximate location from your IP address. This estimate is no more precise than the city or metro level. We do not collect GPS coordinates or precise location through our Website.

We also receive device metadata: device category (desktop, mobile, or tablet), operating system and version, browser and version, screen resolution, and language setting. We use it to make sure the Website works well on the devices our visitors actually use.

§11

Cookies We Use

Our Website sets only the cookies and browser storage listed here.

• _ga (Google Analytics): a first-party cookie that distinguishes visitors for measurement; lasts up to two years; set when you visit unless you block analytics using the tools in Section 13

• _ga_* (Google Analytics): a first-party cookie that keeps session state for our GA4 property; lasts up to two years; set when you visit unless you block analytics using the tools in Section 13

• Consent preference (drc-consent): a small browser local-storage entry, not a cookie, that remembers the choice you made in our cookie banner so we do not ask again; it stays until you clear your browser data or use the Cookie preferences link

• Live chat (LeadConnector): our chat provider's widget loads with the page and sets its own browser storage to run the chat, including session and history entries that keep your conversation connected as you move between pages and a draft of any text you type into the chat box. The provider's network also sets a short-lived security cookie (__cf_bm, from Cloudflare, deleted after about 30 minutes) that protects the chat service against automated abuse

• Choosing "Accept all" in our cookie banner does not add any additional cookies: the Website runs no advertising products, so both banner choices set the same cookies listed here. The choice controls the Google advertising-related signals described in Section 9

• Functionality storage: a session-only browser storage entry remembers if you dismissed the on-page guide; it is deleted when you close the tab

Our appointment booking and loan application forms do not set tracking cookies. The information you type is sent to us only when you submit the form.

§12

User-Provided Data and Measurement

Google Analytics offers a user-provided data capability, in which information a visitor knowingly gives a website (such as an email address typed into a form) can be hashed (converted into an irreversible code) and used by Google for aggregate measurement in a privacy-safe way under Google's user-provided data policy.

Today, our analytics events contain no names, email addresses, phone numbers, or application data, and we do not send user-provided data to Google Analytics.

If we use this capability in the future, the data would be hashed before it reaches Google and used for measurement only. We will update this Privacy Policy before doing so.

§13

Your Analytics Choices and Opt-Outs

You are in control of how our Website measures and signals.

• Cookie banner: on your first visit, a banner explains our cookies. "Accept all" also allows Google's advertising-related signals (described in Section 9); "Measurement only" declines them. Basic analytics measurement runs in both cases and can be blocked entirely with the tools below.

• Cookie preferences: select the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer of any page to reopen the banner and change your choice at any time.

• Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on: install it from tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout to block Google Analytics in your browser on every website, including ours.

• Google account settings: manage or turn off Ads Personalization at adssettings.google.com, and review or delete activity Google has associated with your account at myactivity.google.com.

• Browser settings: you can also block or delete cookies in your browser at any time.

Do Not Track: our Website does not respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals. Your banner choice controls the advertising-related signals here, and the opt-outs above control analytics measurement; we honor those choices regardless of any Do Not Track setting.

§14

Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to individuals under age 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.

Our Website and services are intended only for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from any child under the age of 13, consistent with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verifiable parental consent, or from anyone under 18 who is not eligible for our services, we will delete that information promptly. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us information, contact our Privacy Department using the details in our Contact Us section and we will remove it.

§15

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes will be posted on this page.

June 11, 2026: updated the analytics and cookie sections to describe Google Analytics 4, Google Signals measurement features, the cookies our Website sets, and the cookie consent banner and preferences control.

June 24, 2026: added, without removing any existing terms, a data retention and disposal section, a data breach notification section, a verification sources and identity theft section, a special state requirements and authorized agents section, a where we process your information section, named categories of parties we may share information with, expanded SMS disclosures, an identity-correction and consent-withdrawal procedure, and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley reasons-we-share and how-to-limit details.

§17

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act Notice

This Privacy Policy serves as Desert Rock Capital's notice under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and applicable regulations.

We collect and disclose nonpublic personal information only as described in this Privacy Policy and as permitted or required by law.

Reasons we can share your nonpublic personal information, and whether you can limit it:

• For our everyday business purposes, such as processing your loan, servicing your account, collecting amounts you owe, verifying your identity and income, preventing fraud, responding to court orders and legal investigations, and reporting to government regulators: we do share, and you cannot limit this sharing under the law.

• For our own marketing to you, such as offers about our loan products: we do share, and you cannot limit this sharing.

• With companies that work for us under contract, such as our loan servicing platform, payment processors, identity and income verification services, and communication providers, so they can perform services on our behalf: we do share, and you cannot limit this sharing, because these providers may use your information only to perform work for us and may not use it for their own purposes.

• For joint marketing with other financial companies: we do not share.

• With affiliates for their own everyday business purposes: we do not have affiliates that we share with for this purpose, so there is nothing to limit.

• With affiliates so they can market to you: we do not do this.

• With nonaffiliated companies so they can market to you: we do not do this.

• With anyone for that company's own independent marketing: we do not do this, and we do not sell, rent, or lease your personal information.

How to limit what you can limit: where the law gives you the right to limit sharing, or to opt out of marketing from us, you may tell us by calling 801-377-3333, by emailing help@desertrockcapital.com with the words "Opt Out" in the subject line and your full name and the email or phone number on your account in the message, or by writing to Desert Rock Capital, Inc., Attn: Privacy Department, 168 North 100 East, Suite #250, St. George, UT 84770. Please allow up to 30 days for your request to take effect. Your choice stays in place until you tell us to change it. If you close your account or your account becomes inactive, we continue to protect your information as described in this Privacy Policy.

We provide this notice when you become our customer and make it available to you at any time on our Website. Because we share nonpublic personal information only as this Policy describes and as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act permits, and because we do not sell or share your information for others to market to you, there is no separate Gramm-Leach-Bliley opt-out you need to exercise to stop such sharing. We will notify you and provide a revised notice if our information-sharing practices change.

§18

Data Retention and Disposal

We keep your personal information only as long as we need it for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and as required by law. Loan and account records are retained for the life of your loan and afterward for the period required by Utah and federal lending, tax, anti-fraud, and recordkeeping law and by our regulators, and for as long as needed to enforce our rights, resolve disputes, and respond to legal and tax requirements, which is generally several years after your account is paid off or closed. Loan applications that do not result in a loan are retained for the period required by applicable lending and recordkeeping rules, including the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, and then disposed of. Website analytics data is retained on a rolling basis under our Google Analytics settings. When we no longer need information and are not required to keep it, we securely delete, destroy, or de-identify it. If you ask us to delete your information, we will honor your request to the extent the law allows, but we may keep records we are legally required to retain.

§19

Data Breach Notification

We work to prevent unauthorized access to your information, but if we become aware of a breach of system security involving your personal information, we will investigate promptly and in good faith and take steps to contain and remediate it. If the investigation shows that misuse of your personal information for identity theft or fraud has occurred or is reasonably likely to occur, we will notify you in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, by mail, email, or telephone, consistent with the Utah Protection of Personal Information Act and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act Safeguards Rule. Our notice will describe, to the extent known, what happened, when it occurred and was discovered, the type of information involved, and steps you can take.

§20

Verification Sources, Fair Credit Reporting Act, and Identity Theft

We obtain information from the verification, public-records, fraud-prevention, and skip tracing sources listed in Section 2.3 only for permissible purposes allowed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act and other applicable law, such as evaluating an application that you initiated, verifying your identity and income, preventing and investigating fraud, and servicing or collecting on your account. We do not furnish information about your loan to the national consumer credit reporting agencies. If you believe you are the victim of identity theft, or that someone applied for or obtained a loan in your name without your authorization, contact our Privacy Department immediately using the details in our Contact Us section so we can investigate, and you may also place a fraud alert or security freeze with the national consumer reporting agencies and report the matter to the Federal Trade Commission at IdentityTheft.gov.

§21

Special State Requirements and Authorized Agents

Some states give their residents additional privacy rights or impose specific requirements on how we handle personal information. Where a law that applies to you grants you greater rights or protections than this Privacy Policy describes, we will honor those rights and protections to the extent the law requires, and where a state requires your prior written consent before we share certain information with non-affiliated third parties, we will obtain that consent as required. Where a specific provision of this Privacy Policy is limited or unenforceable under the law that applies to you, the rest of this Privacy Policy still applies, and nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to deny you a right that the law gives you. You may use an authorized agent to submit a privacy request on your behalf where the law allows, but we will require written proof that you authorized the agent to act for you, and we may still ask you to verify your own identity directly before we act on the request.

§22

Where We Process Your Information

We are a Utah business and we serve Utah residents. Your personal information is collected, stored, and processed in the United States. We do not transfer your personal information outside the United States, except that some of our service providers, such as our analytics and communication providers, may process limited technical data on infrastructure that operates internationally. When that happens, those providers are bound by contract to protect your information consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.
