Product or Service Requests – If you enter a request for a financial, insurance or other product or service offered through this website with your consent, we will share personal information included in your request form, such as your name, email, physical address, telephone number, and property information, with lenders and partners in our provider network who offer the product you inquired about and like products with similar benefits to process and complete your request.

NewRetirement.com and Partners on our provider network may contact you by telephone (including calls to a mobile phone or calls made using automated dialing), email, direct mail or any other method they may deem appropriate based on the information you supplied to us in order to process and complete your request, even if you have opted into the National Do Not Call List administered by the Federal Trade Commission or any state equivalent Do Not Call List. If any of these firms calls you by telephone and you wish not to be contacted again by that firm, then you should notify that firm that you do not wish to be contacted again. If a firm ignores your request and contacts you again, please contact us immediately by sending an email to NewRetirement.com Customer Service.

Vendors – We sometimes share some of the information we collect with companies, such as marketing partners or other third parties that provide certain services for us such as marketing services, data verification and live chat. We may use the personal information that you supply to us and we may work with other third parties to bring selected retail opportunities to you via direct mail, email and telemarketing. These companies only have access to personal information necessary to deliver their service, and may not share it with others or use it for any other purpose – these limits are specified in confidentiality and other legal agreements with us.
