Privacy Policy
What responsibilities does Mint Legal Funding (“Mint”) have with regard to sharing your personal information?
Financial Companies choose how they share your personal information. Federal law gives consumers the right to limit some but not all sharing. Federal law also requires us to tell you how we collect, share, and protect your personal information. Please read this notice carefully to understand what we do.
What information does Mint collect and share?
The types of personal information we collect and share depend on the product or service you have with us. This can include information that you, your attorney or third parties provide to us on applications or other forms. This information can include name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, date of birth, social security number, employment and income information, specific medical information pertaining to your personal injury case, specific case details and claims information, witness statements and police reports. We may also use your information to obtain additional information regarding you, such as credit or consumer reports.
Why does Mint need to share my personal information?
We share customers’ personal information in order to run our everyday business, so we can process or administer transactions, provide you with services you are requesting from us, and to comply with legal requirements as permitted by law. In the section below, we list the primary reasons we share your personal information, the reasons we choose or need to share; and whether you can limit this sharing.

How does Mint protect my personal information?
To protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use, we use security measures that comply with federal laws. These measures include computer safeguards and secured files and buildings. Our agreements with service providers or other nonaffiliated companies require them to treat your personal information in a confidential and secure manner.
How does Mint collect my personal information?
We collect your personal information when you, your attorney or third parties, affiliates, or other companies provide it to us on applications or other forms, your driver’s license, by phone, fax, the internet or other delivery services. We also collect your personal information from others, such as credit bureaus, affiliates, or other companies.
Why can’t I limit all sharing?
Often, sharing information is necessary for us to provide the services you are requesting. Federal law gives you the right to limit only:
Sharing for affiliates’ everyday business purposes – information about your creditworthiness
Affiliates from using your information to market to you
Sharing for non-affiliates to market to you
State laws and individual companies may give you additional rights to limit sharing. See below for more on your rights under state law – Other Important Information.
What happens when I limit sharing for an account I hold jointly with someone else?
Your choices will apply to everyone on your account.
