Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 11, 2026

SettleUp Funding, LLC (“SettleUp,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard the limited personal information we obtain through our website at https://www.settleupfunding.com/ (the “Site”) and our litigation funding services.

We provide non-recourse pre-settlement funding primarily for personal injury and similar legal claims, initiated and facilitated through the claimant’s licensed attorney. We collect and handle only minimal information necessary, with a focus on transparency and an attorney-first approach.

By accessing the Site, submitting information (directly or via an attorney), or engaging with our services, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not provide information or use the Site.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the limited information reasonably necessary to evaluate and communicate about funding requests.

Categories of information include:

Direct Contact Information (from individuals via the Site or communications): Name, phone number, email address, and mailing address (if voluntarily provided).
Attorney-Submitted Information (from participating attorneys): Very basic case details, such as case type, jurisdiction, attorney contact information, brief claim description, or settlement status—along with any limited supporting documents provided for evaluation purposes.
Technical and Usage Data: Automatically collected when visiting the Site, including IP address, browser type, device information, and basic usage patterns via cookies, logs, or similar technologies.

We do not collect banking details, payment information, Social Security numbers, detailed medical records, or other sensitive financial/health data directly from individuals. Disbursements are handled securely through a third-party payment processor via a secure external link—we do not receive, access, or store any financial account information.

We do not sell personal information, use it for targeted advertising, behavioral tracking, or marketing purposes.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use information solely for legitimate purposes related to litigation funding, including:

Evaluating potential funding opportunities (primarily based on attorney-provided basic details).
Communicating with attorneys or claimants about applications, status, or updates.
Administering the funding process and maintaining records.
Detecting and preventing fraud, unauthorized access, or misuse.
Improving Site functionality, security, and performance.
Complying with applicable laws and regulations, including those governing litigation funding in Georgia.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. Sharing is strictly limited to:

With the Claimant’s Attorney: Relevant basic case details and funding information are shared with the licensed attorney representing the claimant, as coordination with counsel is essential.
With Service Providers: Trusted third-party vendors (e.g., for website hosting, technology support, or payment processing) who are contractually bound to maintain confidentiality and use data only for our purposes.
For Legal Compliance: If required by law, court order, subpoena, governmental request, or to protect rights, safety, or property.
Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, with notice where feasible.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The Site uses essential cookies and similar technologies for functionality, security, and performance monitoring. These are not used for advertising or cross-site tracking. You can manage cookies via your browser settings.

5. Data Security

We implement commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the limited information we collect from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. This includes secure methods for receiving and handling any attorney-submitted materials.

No internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure—you transmit information at your own risk.

In the event of a confirmed data breach involving personal information, we will notify affected individuals and relevant authorities as required by applicable law.

6. Data Retention

We retain information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes in this Policy, complete any funding matters, meet legal/regulatory obligations, or defend claims. Once no longer needed, data is securely deleted or anonymized.

7. Your Rights and Choices

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information by contacting us. We will verify identity and respond in accordance with applicable law. Georgia residents may have additional rights under future state privacy laws (e.g., effective July 1, 2026)—contact us to inquire or exercise rights.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Policy periodically. The Effective Date will reflect changes. Continued use after updates constitutes acceptance. Review periodically.
