Y&L Mortgage LLC of Companies Privacy Policy describes how the Y&L Mortgage LLC of Companies (as defined in "Who We Are" below) process information collected on our websites and applications (including mobile) or through your online interactions with us (collectively, our "Services").
In some circumstances, we may provide you with additional or supplemental privacy notices to the extent they apply to you because of the products and services you obtain from us or different laws that may apply to you. Some states may provide additional privacy rights. Please refer to the Additional Information Regarding Your State Privacy Rights section to learn more.
By using any of our Services, you acknowledge the privacy practices we describe in this Y&L Family of Companies Privacy Policy. You also acknowledge that you have read this policy and other policies described.
When we say "Y&L Mortgage LLC" we mean companies that are controlled by Y&L Mortgage , LLC and share the Y&L Mortgage LLC name or are on the Y&L Mortgage LLC platform. A reference to "Y&L mortgage ", "we" or "us" is a reference to the relevant Y&L Mortgage LLC that is involved in the processing activity. This policy does not apply to Y&L Mortgage LLC affiliates that aren't in the Y&L Mortgage LLC ("Affiliates"). The data practices of Affiliates are governed by their own
privacy policies.We collect information you provide to us. For example, we collect information from you when you create a Y&L Mortgage account, fill out a form or otherwise submit content through our Services, are referred to us via one of our third-party professional partner relationships, make a purchase, communicate with us via third-party platforms, participate in a contest, promotion or survey, request customer support or information about our Services, or otherwise communicate with us.
The specific information we collect depends on the context in which you provide it, and could include:
We automatically collect certain information about your interactions with us or our Services, including:
Transactional Information: When you make a purchase or complete a transaction, we collect information about the transaction, such as product or service details, financial details and the date and location of the transaction.
Device and Usage Information: We collect information about how you access our Services, including data about the device and network you use, such as hardware model, operating system version, mobile network, IP address, unique device identifiers and device regional and language settings, browser type, and app version. We also collect information about your activity on our Services, such as access times, pages viewed, links clicked, products and services considered, and the page you visited before navigating to our Services.
Your Content: As you allow through your device or application, we may collect information and content stored on your device, such as photos.
Location Information: In accordance with your device permissions, we may collect information about the precise location of your device. You may stop the collection of precise location information at any time (see the Your Choices section below for details).
Information Collected by Cookies and Similar Tracking Technologies: We (and those who perform work for us) use tracking technologies, such as cookies and web beacons, to collect information about your interactions with the Services.
Cookies are small data files stored on your hard drive or in device memory that help us improve our Services and your experience, see which areas and features of our Services are popular and which emails and advertisements you view, authenticate users, reconstruct or observe activity relating to a session or by a user for troubleshooting, issue resolution, and other purposes, and count visits to our websites.
Web beacons (also known as "pixel tags" or "clear GIFs") are electronic images that we use on our Services and in our emails to help deliver cookies, count visits, and understand usage and campaign effectiveness. In our mobile apps, we may also use technologies that are not browser-based like cookies.
For example, our apps may include software development kits (known as SDKs) which are code that sends information about your use to a server. These SDKs allow us to track our conversions, bring you advertising both on and off the Service, and provide you additional functionality. For more information about these tracking technologies and how to disable them, see the Advertising and Analytics section below.
We obtain information from third-party sources in certain situations. For example, we may collect information about you from identity or other verification services, credit bureaus (including your credit report), advertising networks, mailing list providers, service providers and data brokers. Our Services also may allow or require you to integrate or connect your Y&L account with third-party services through service providers (such as Plaid).
The information we receive from such third parties varies depending on the information made available by those entities. Examples of the types of information we receive include financial account information, information about account balance, information about credit accounts, information about loan accounts, information about investment accounts, identifiers and information about account owners, information about account transactions and employment information.
Additionally, if you create or log into your Y&L account through a third-party platform, such as Facebook or Google, we'll have access to certain information from that platform, such as your name, birthday, and profile picture, in accordance with the authorization procedures determined by such platform.
We may derive information or draw inferences about you based on the information we collect. For example, we may make inferences about your location based on your IP address or city or postal code or infer that you are looking to purchase certain products based on information you provide to us and your browsing behavior and past purchases.

In California, you have the right to limit our processing of your Sensitive Personal Information to only uses which are necessary to perform the services or provide the goods reasonably expected by an average consumer who requests such goods or services. When we collect your Sensitive Personal Information, we collect and use that information to perform the services or provide the goods for which that information is necessary and as reasonably expected by you.
Under other state privacy laws, we are only permitted to collect certain pieces of Sensitive Personal Information after we have obtained your consent to do so. Where required, we get your agreement to collect and use Sensitive Personal Information.
State privacy laws require certain disclosures for companies that "sell" personal information pursuant to the respective state's privacy law. Each state defines the "sale" of data differently. In California, the "sale" of data means certain scenarios in which Y&L has shared personal information with third parties or Affiliates, in exchange for valuable consideration. Other states define the "sale" of data as Y&L exchanging personal information for monetary consideration with a non-affiliated third party. Under this definition, we do not "sell" your personal information.
Under California's definition, we "sell" personal information to enable our Affiliates and certain third parties to use your information in accordance with their privacy policies. We "sell" the following categories of personal information to the following categories of third parties:
Category of Personal Information | Categories of Third Parties |
---|---|
Identifiers | Affiliates and non-affiliated third parties. |
Categories Of Personal Information Described In Subdivision (e) Of Section 1798.80 | Affiliates and non-affiliated third parties. |
Commercial Information | Affiliates and non-affiliated third parties. |
Internet Or Other Network Activity | Affiliates and non-affiliated third parties. |
Inferences Drawn From Other Personal Information | Affiliates and non-affiliated third parties. |
You have the right to opt out of the "sales" described above at any time by visiting our Do Not Sell My Personal Information webpage. We do not knowingly sell or share personal information about consumers under the age of 16.
California requires that we notify you if we “Share” your personal information with third parties. In California, “Sharing” means we make available or otherwise disclose your information to third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising. Further, “cross-context behavioral advertising” means targeting of advertising to you based on your personal information obtained from your activity across businesses, websites, apps, and services other than our Services.
Similarly, privacy laws in other states require we notify you if we use your information for Targeted Advertising. Targeted Advertising means displaying advertisements to you where the advertisement is selected based on personal information obtained from your activities over time and across nonaffiliated websites or online applications to predict your preferences or interests.
Accordingly, we "Share" your personal information with third parties for purposes of cross-contextual advertising, and we use your information for Targeted Advertising. Specifically, we share your identifiers and internet or other network activity with our advertising partners.
You have the right to opt out of "sharing" or Targeted Advertising by accessing our Do Not Sell My Personal Information webpage. We also honor browser “Do Not Track” signals, as noted above.
We will not retain your personal information for longer than is reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes we disclose in this policy.
Subject to certain limitations, you have the right to (1) request to know more about the categories and specific pieces of personal information we collect, use, disclose and sell, and to access your information, (2) request deletion of your personal information, (3) request correction of your personal information and (4) not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.
You may make these requests by starting a request online or calling +1 (732) 860-9055. We'll verify your request by asking you to provide information related to your recent interactions with us.
If we receive your request from an authorized agent, we may ask for evidence that you've provided such agent with a power of attorney, or that the agent otherwise has valid written authority to submit requests to exercise rights on your behalf. If you're an authorized agent seeking to make a request, please contact us as set out above.
California’s privacy law requires that we notify you if we provide you a program, benefit, or other offering, related to the collection, deletion, or sale of personal information, which it defines as a “financial incentive.” We may offer you certain financial incentives that may result in different prices, rates, or quality levels (for example, contests and referral programs). Through these offerings, consumers provide us with some personal information (e.g., names, emails, phone numbers) when they opt-in to our programs. There is no obligation to opt-in and consumers may opt-out at any time. The details of each program are contained in the program offering. We offer these programs, among other things, to enhance our relationship with you so you can enjoy more of our products/services at a lower price. We invest heavily in our marketing and brands, in part, so we can provide programs to our customers. Consumer data is valuable to our business only when it is combined with a sufficient number of other consumer data and after it is enhanced by our efforts herein described. The value to our business of any individual consumer's personal information is dependent on a number of factors, including, for example, whether and to what extent you take advantage of any offerings, whether and to what extent you opt out of any offerings, and whether we are able to enhance the data through our efforts herein described. Our ability to create any value from the programs is heavily based on our ability to leverage said intellectual properties. We do not calculate the value of consumer data in our accounting statements.
In 2022, we received 1,401 consumer data requests from California consumers. This includes requests from people to know, access, or delete their data. We also received 957,500 requests from people who opted out of data sharing.
Here’s a breakdown of those consumer requests:
254 Right To Know/Access requests
1,147 Right To Delete requests
It's taken us a median of 9 days to process and respond to each request.
