Privacy Policy
Last updated:
GovCon Funding, a GillmanBagley company ("GovCon Funding," "we," "us," or "our"), respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we use and protect the information you give us through gbgovconfunding.com (the "Site"), what we collect, and the choices available to you.
How we use information
- To respond to inquiries and evaluate, underwrite, and service financing requests.
- To communicate with you about your application, facility, or account.
- To send newsletters, podcast updates, and educational content you have requested.
- To operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site.
- To comply with applicable laws, regulations, and lawful requests.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers who support our operations (for example, hosting, analytics, email delivery, and document processing), with funding partners, participants, or lenders involved in a transaction, with your existing lenders or advisors where you have authorized us to do so, and with professional advisors such as counsel and auditors. We may also disclose information where required by law or to protect our rights.
Data retention and security
We retain information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy and to meet legal, tax, and recordkeeping obligations. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information in our possession. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Consent to be contacted
When you submit a form on this Site, request a quote, or otherwise provide us your telephone number or email address, you give your express written consent for GovCon Funding, GillmanBagley, and their affiliates, agents, and service providers to contact you at the telephone number(s) and email address(es) you provided. This includes contact by live agent, automatic telephone dialing system (ATDS), automated or prerecorded voice message, artificial voice, ringless voicemail, email, and SMS/MMS text message, for purposes including responding to your inquiry, processing and servicing an application, and marketing financing products and services.
This consent applies even if the telephone number you provide is registered on a federal, state, corporate, or internal Do Not Call list or registry, and it applies to wireless and landline numbers alike. By providing a number, you represent that you are the subscriber or the customary user of that number and that you are authorized to give this consent on behalf of your business.
Consent is not a condition of any purchase, application, funding decision, or approval. Message and data rates may apply, and message frequency varies. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
You may revoke consent at any time by replying STOP to any text message, clicking the unsubscribe link in any marketing email, emailing sales@gbgovconfunding.com, or telling any representative that you wish to be placed on our internal Do Not Call list. Revoking consent for marketing does not prevent us from contacting you about an application, facility, or account you have with us, or as otherwise permitted by law. We will process opt-out requests within the timeframe required by applicable law.
Calls with our team may be recorded or monitored for quality assurance, training, and compliance purposes where permitted by law.
Information we collect
We collect information you provide directly to us, including when you submit a funding inquiry, request a quote, sign up for our newsletter, or contact us by phone or email. This may include your name, business name, job title, email address, phone number, and information about your government contracts and financing needs.
When you apply for financing, we may also collect business and financial information necessary to evaluate a request, such as contract award documentation, invoices, receivables data, bank statements, tax returns, and entity registration details.
We automatically collect limited technical information when you visit the Site, including IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, and referring URLs. How we use cookies and similar technologies is described under "Cookies, analytics and advertising" below.
Cookies, analytics and advertising
We use cookies and similar technologies, including pixels and tags placed by the providers named below, for three purposes.
Necessary. A small number of cookies make the Site work. They remember where you are in a multi-step form so a page refresh does not lose your answers, and they let us connect a form you started to the one you finish. The Site does not function correctly without these.
Analytics. We measure how the Site is used: which pages are read, how people arrive, and where they stop. This tells us what to write and what to fix. We use Google Analytics for this.
Advertising. We work with advertising platforms so that we can show you our ads on other websites and services after you have visited ours. This is commonly called retargeting or cross-context behavioral advertising. We use Google, Meta (Facebook and Instagram), and LinkedIn for this.
These providers set their own cookies and identifiers, may recognize your browser or device across other sites and services, and handle that information under their own privacy policies rather than this one. We do not control what they collect once their technology is on your device.
What we do not share with them. We do not send advertising or analytics providers the information you give us in a funding inquiry or financing application. Your name, contact details, contract documents, bank statements, tax returns, financial data and Social Security numbers are not passed to these platforms. What they receive is page activity: that a browser visited particular pages on this Site.
You can control this. See "Your choices" below.
Your choices
You may opt out of marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link in those messages, or by contacting us. Opting out of marketing does not affect communications about an active application or facility. You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information by contacting us at the address below; we will respond as required by applicable law. See "Consent to be contacted" above for how to revoke calling and texting consent.
Cookies and advertising. Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies in their settings, though blocking necessary cookies will stop the forms on this Site working properly. You can also opt out directly with the platforms we use, at Google Ads Settings, Meta's ad preferences, and LinkedIn's advertising settings. Industry opt-out pages run by the Network Advertising Initiative and the Digital Advertising Alliance cover several providers at once.
Advertising and your information
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with anyone for their own marketing. The advertising cookies described above let the platforms we use show you our ads elsewhere; what they receive is page activity on this Site, not the contents of an inquiry or application.
You can opt out of that at any time using any of the methods under "Your choices" above, or by writing to us at the address below and asking us to stop. We will not treat you differently for asking.
Third-party links
The Site may link to third-party websites and services, including our podcast and newsletter platforms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties, and we encourage you to review their policies.
Children's privacy
The Site is intended for business users and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will be communicated through the Site.
