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.

-
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.

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.
