Security

Your information is safe with us.

The security of your personal information is our first priority at LendingTree®. We have taken extraordinary measures to make sure that the information you send to us is seen only by authorized people. (Please review our privacy policy to find out more about who is authorized to view your information.)


Secure Web Pages

All of the pages on our Web site that ask for your personal financial information are delivered to your browser through HTTPS, a secure mode of communication. You can check this encryption by checking for the key (Netscape) or lock (Internet Explorer) icon on your browser.


Encryption

When you send your personal financial information to us, it is protected by SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) Technology. SSL does not allow anyone to intercept and read your personal information. When you send your information to us, SSL encrypts it (translates the data into a string of gibberish characters). Only we can decode the encryption.


Firewall Protection

Your financial information is not kept on our Web server, but on a different computer that is separated from the Internet. Even in the unlikely event that our Web site is "hacked," your data will still remain securely out of reach.


Password Protection

To retrieve information about your loan status, you are required to enter both a password and at least one other piece of identification information.
