California Consumer Privacy Act Privacy Policy & Notice at Collection
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) grants California residents some rights over how Golden Castle Loans manages your “personal information,” which we refer to herein as your Financial Information. The following California-specific privacy policy supplements our general Privacy Policy (set forth above) and serves as our “notice at collection” under the CCPA. Please be aware the following applies solely to California residents.
The CCPA gives California residents the following rights:
the right to know why we collect Financial Information (including whether we sell it), what we collect, and how we collect it;
the right to have your Financial Information deleted; and
the right to receive equal treatment if you exercise your CCPA rights
Financial Information: Why, What, and How we collect
As set forth more fully in our Privacy Policy, we collect Financial Information in order to conduct our business (making and servicing mortgage loans) and carry out our business purposes. We may share your Financial Information, on a confidential basis, with outside companies, but we DO NOT sell your Financial Information or allow these outside companies (with whom we have shared your Financial Information) to utilize your Financial Information for any reason other than to complete the business purpose for which the information was shared.
Below are the categories (along with examples) of Financial Information we collect and the business purpose(s) for its use:
Category Examples Business Purpose(s)
Identifiers name, alias, address, email Performing services; providing financing and customer service; protecting against fraud
Sensitive information social security number, bank account numbers Performing services; providing financing; protecting against fraud
Protected classifications (under CA or Federal law) age, race, color, ancestry, national origin, citizenship, religion or creed, marital status, medical condition, physical or mental disability, sex (including gender, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy or childbirth and related medical conditions), sexual orientation, and veteran or military status Performing services; providing financing; protecting against fraud; compliance with mortgage lending laws
Commercial information records of products or services considered or obtained Providing customer service; internal analytics; marketing and advertising
Internet activity browsing history, interactions with our website and advertisements Providing online products and services; performing marketing and advertising
Professional or employment-related information current or past job history or performance evaluations or reference checks Providing financing; servicing accounts; protecting against fraud
As set forth more fully in our Privacy Policy, we generally collect Financial Information directly from you, either through your interactions with our website or employees, during the mortgage application process, or as we service your mortgage loan. We may also collect Financial Information from outside sources, such as your prior mortgage servicer, governmental entities / public records, and internet advertisers and lead generators.
Requests to Know and Delete
As explained in more detail below, in some cases and upon proper request, California residents may be entitled to a report detailing the Financial Information we have collected and shared about them (“Right to Know”) and/or deletion of their Financial Information (“Right to Delete”).
California residents only have the Right to Know or Right to Delete in some cases because the CCPA does not apply in certain situations. For example, the CCPA does not apply to Financial Information collected, processed, sold, or disclosed pursuant to the federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) or the California Financial Information Privacy Act. This means that Financial Information we collect, store, or share in connection with providing you a financial product or service is exempt from the CCPA, as well of our use of this information for our everyday business purposes (disclosed above).
In order to exercise any Right to Know or Right to Delete you may have, you will need to submit a request to our Consumer Care Department by calling (925) 000-0000 or sending an email to consumercare@goldencastleloans.com. This request will need to be “verifiable,” meaning we must be able to confirm:
you are the California resident; or
you are the California resident’s authorized agent, which will require (i) written evidence of the agent’s authority, which can include a valid power of attorney, and (ii) your personal information, so we can verify that you are the authorized agent.
Golden Castle Loans will attempt to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days) we will inform you in writing of the reason for requiring more time and the additional time required to respond.

14. Governing Law, Arbitration, and Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver
Governing Law. You agree that: (i) the Service shall be deemed solely based in California; and (ii) the Service shall be deemed a passive one that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over us, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than California. This Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of California, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences with respect to the substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Contra Costa County, California for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights, as set forth in the Arbitration provision below, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. You agree that Contra Costa County, California is the proper forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or for trial court proceedings in the event that the arbitration provision below is found to be unenforceable.
Arbitration. READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM COMPANY. For any dispute with Company, you agree to first contact us at Loans@goldencastleloans.com and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. In the unlikely event that Company has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to this Agreement, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, “Claims”), by binding arbitration by JAMS, Inc. (“JAMS”), under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS, except as provided herein. JAMS may be contacted at www.jamsadr.com. The arbitration will be conducted in Contra Costa County, California, unless you and Company agree otherwise. If you are using the Service for commercial purposes, each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. If you are an individual using the Service for non-commercial purposes: (i) JAMS may require you to pay a fee for the initiation of your case, unless you apply for and successfully obtain a fee waiver from JAMS; (ii) the award rendered by the arbitrator may include your costs of arbitration, your reasonable attorney’s fees, and your reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing Company from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, Intellectual Property Rights or other proprietary rights.
Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver.
