This General Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) applies to www.cancapital.com (the “Site”), which is owned and operated by CAN Capital, Inc. (“CAN Capital,” “we” or “our”).
At CAN Capital, we recognize and respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) gathered through our Site. This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through our Site as well as our collection of Personal Information from other sources, such as from sales representatives including any independent sales or marketing representative (each, an “ISO”) who may refer you or your business to us, through email communications, our online channels (including websites, ISOs, mobile applications and social media websites) and to Personal Information you provide us offline (e.g., at trade shows or sales exhibitions or directly to an ISO), when you submit a business funding application over the phone, or when you contact our customer service or collections departments. Note that this is a business-to-business, not a consumer, website and that we may also collect information regarding businesses. Again, this Privacy Policy applies to Personal Information about individuals and not to information about businesses.
The Privacy Policy is subject to and incorporates by reference our Terms of Use, including its limitation on liability.
You may browse our Site without creating an online account, but to use certain features you or your ISO may be required to create an account. When you create an account with us, we may collect your name, email address, contact information, a username and password that you will use to access your account and other information. In addition, to submit a question, comment, or post to a blog, you may be required to submit your name and email address, and we may also ask you for other optional information, such as your business’s website address.
We may also collect information from you if you log into our Site through an account created with a third-party website (e.g., QuickBooks, Facebook, or LinkedIn). The option to access our Site via these third-party websites may occur and will be entirely at your option. The information we are able to migrate to our Site from these third-party websites will depend on the privacy settings that you have in place with the third-party site from which you log in. If you choose to log into the Site via a third-party website, you hereby consent to our access to and collection of such Personal Information about you.
We also may collect the following types of Personal Information about you:
We may also append to the Personal Information collected new or other data that we receive from other sources, such as public records, demographic information, and other background information supplied by information services or third parties.
In addition, we automatically collect through our Site information that is often not personally identifying, such as the website from which you came to our Site and your IP address, browser type, and other information relating to the device through which you access the Site. We may combine this information with the Personal Information we have collected from you, which we store in log files. We do this to improve services we offer you.
Some information collected from you is required and some is optional; some will remain private and some will be shared with third parties. Additional information may be gathered during your subsequent use of the Site, whenever you choose to provide it.
Certain Personal Information must be supplied to determine eligibility for financial products and to verify and guard against potential fraud.
We will use this information to request a credit report from a credit bureau to process your business’ application as well as to help assess your business funding request in the context of your and your business’ overall financial situation. We will also use your required and optional information to facilitate activities and transactions that need to occur during the funding process.
We use the Personal Information you provide us and allow us access to as described herein for the following purposes:
We will share your Personal Information with third parties only in the ways that are described in this Privacy Policy. We do from time to time provide others with your information, for various products and services including working capital or equipment financing, as described below. We may disclose Personal Information to third parties for the following purposes:
Notwithstanding anything else in the Privacy Policy, we may share aggregate or personally identifying information about users with third parties for marketing, advertising, research, or other business purposes.

All equipment financing transactions through us are currently made both directly and by a select network of providers. If you request equipment financing through us, your Personal Information will be shared with this network of providers.
CAN Capital may, from time to time and in its sole discretion, elect to contract with one or more other bank(s) or financial service provider(s) to underwrite loans. In such case, you will be notified of such bank(s) or financial service provider(s) during the loan process.
In the preceding twelve (12) months, CAN Capital has not sold Personal Information.
If your Personal Information changes, or if you no longer want updates or to be contacted for new products, you may correct, update, amend, delete/remove or deactivate your contact information by emailing our Customer Support at [email protected] or by contacting us by telephone or postal mail at the contact information listed below.

The Site is hosted in the United States. If you are accessing the Site from outside the United States, by providing your information to the Site, you are consenting to and authorizing the transfer of your information to the United States for storage, use, processing, maintenance, and onward transfer of such information to other entities regardless of their location in accordance with this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use. You are also consenting to the application of United States law in all matters concerning the Site.
CAN Capital takes reasonable steps to safeguard your personal and sensitive information through vigorous physical, electronic, and operational policies and practices. Data can only be read or written through defined service access points, the use of which is password-protected. The physical security of the data is achieved through a combination of network firewalls (there is no direct communication allowed between the database server and the Internet) and servers with operating systems, all housed in a secure facility. Access to the system is controlled.
Further, we also equip our servers with Secure Socket Layer (SSL) certificate technology to ensure that when you connect you are actually on our Site. SSL also ensures that all data entered into the Site is encrypted. To verify that SSL is being used, look for the key or padlock icon on your browser. For further encryption protection, we use a 128-bit secure browser for logins and transactions. Portions of our Site also make use of “CAPTCHA” technology, which is a test that we use to ensure certain sensitive transactions are being initiated by a human and not by another computer. The test involves viewing a distorted image of a word that a computer would not be able to interpret and then entering in the text shown in the image. Finally, we subject our systems to periodic security audits to ensure that your information is thoroughly protected and secure.
No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you have any questions about security on our Site, you can contact us at [email protected].
We store all sensitive financial data such as social security numbers and bank accounts in a secure environment.
We also employ session time-outs to protect your account. You will be logged out of the Site automatically after a specified period of inactivity. This time-out feature reduces the risk of others being able to access your account if you leave your computer unattended.
When we contact you about your account or to confirm a funds transfer, we only reference the last four digits of your social security number; this is done for your protection.
Your password is not known to any employee or third party with whom we may partner, and we will never ask for your password as a means of identifying yourself. You should never share your password with anyone, and if you ever receive an email purporting to come from us that asks for your password, you should immediately report this development to us at [email protected].
In addition to our own substantial efforts, you can take several precautions to protect the security of your computer and Personal Information. For instance, you can start by using a complex/well-chosen password. You should avoid using any information that others can easily learn about you, such as a family member’s name or birthday; you can also use special characters in place of letters. We also recommend that you change your password frequently. You can also install and regularly update antivirus and firewall software to protect your computer or device from external attacks by malicious users. When you are finished with a session on our Site, be sure that you log out and close the browser window.
If you use a computer that is accessed by other people, such as in a public library or Internet cafe, we recommend that you take special precautions to protect the security of your account and personal data. When you are finished using our Site, you should log out completely, then close the browser window and clear the browser’s cache files.
You should also be aware of fraudulent attempts to gain access to your account information known as “phishing.” Phishing is a tactic used by scammers in which unsuspecting people are brought to a website by a genuine-looking email purporting to be from a legitimate company. The phony or “spoof” email takes the person to a website that looks legitimate but in fact is not. Either in the email itself or on this fake site, scammers will ask for login information to gain access to people’s accounts and withdraw their money. CAN Capital will never ask you for your Site login information in the context of any email. In general, you can protect yourself against phishing by never providing personal or login information via an email, instead, go to the website directly. You might also make it a habit to check the URL of a website to be sure that it begins with the correct domain. You should always ensure the URL begins with http://www.cancapital.com or https://www.cancapital.com.
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to our information practices at our discretion and at any time. When we make changes to this Privacy Policy, we will post the updated Privacy Policy on the Site and update the Privacy Policy’s revision date. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes.

As defined in the CCPA, “sell” and “sale” mean selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a consumer’s personal information by the business to a third party for valuable consideration. In addition, the CCPA defines “sharing” as the disclosure of personal information to a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising, whether or not for monetary or other valuable consideration. This means that for CCPA purposes, we may be considered to have “sold” or “shared” personal information when we have received some kind of benefit in return for sharing that personal information, even when that benefit is not necessarily a monetary benefit.
Please note that the categories listed below are those defined in the CCPA. This does not mean that all examples of that category of personal information were in fact sold or shared, but reflects our good faith belief to the best of our knowledge that some of that information from the applicable category may be and may have been shared for value in return.
We may sell and may have sold or shared in the last twelve (12) months the following categories of personal information:
This Personal Information may be sold or shared with the following categories of third parties:
We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors under the age of 16, although certain third party websites that we link to may do so. These third-party websites have their own terms of use and privacy policies and we encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s Internet usage and instruct their children to never provide information on other websites without their permission.
We do not sell or share the personal information of individuals we actually know to be less than 16 years of age, unless we receive affirmative authorization (the “right to opt-in”) from either that individual (if the individual is between 13 and 16 years of age), or the parent or guardian of that individual (if the individual is less than 13 years of age). Consumers who opt-in to the sale or sharing of personal information may opt-out of future sales or sharing at any time. To exercise the right to opt-out, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request to us by contacting us as described below.
If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 16 has provided us with personal information, please contact us with sufficient detail to enable us to delete that information.
