1. Introduction
Scalance Global (“Scalance,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides outsourced operations and automation services for title and settlement, investor services, private and hard money lending, default and foreclosure, and secondary-market teams. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you visit scalanceglobal.com (the “Website”), contact us, subscribe to our communications, or otherwise interact with us.
This Policy applies to information we collect through the Website and in our business dealings with prospective clients, partners, and vendors. It does not govern the information we process on behalf of our clients while performing services (see Section 6). By using the Website, you acknowledge that you have read this Policy. If you do not agree with it, please do not use the Website.

- Name, job title, and company name
- Business email address and phone number

- Pages viewed, links clicked, referring URLs, and time spent on pages
- Approximate location derived from your IP address
- Cookie and similar-technology identifiers (see Section 8)
Information from other sources. We may receive business contact information from publicly available sources, professional networks such as LinkedIn, referral partners, and marketing or analytics providers.
We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information (such as Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, or government ID numbers) through the Website. Please do not submit such information through our contact forms or by general email.

- Respond to inquiries, schedule calls, and set up pilots and engagements

5. Cross-Border Data Transfers
Scalance is headquartered in the United States and may use personnel, affiliates, and service providers located in other countries. Your information may be processed and stored in the United States or other jurisdictions where data protection laws may differ from those in your location. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards, such as contractual protections, for these transfers.
6. Client Data We Process When Delivering Services
In performing title, settlement, lending, and investor support, we may handle non-public personal information (“NPI”) belonging to our clients’ customers, such as borrowers, property owners, and transaction parties. In that role, Scalance acts as a service provider to our client, and handles this information only:
- On the client’s documented instructions and under a written agreement
- To perform the contracted services
- In accordance with applicable laws, including the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and its safeguards requirements, and with industry standards such as ALTA Best Practices
This information is governed by our client agreements and our clients’ own privacy notices, not this Policy. If you are a consumer whose information was provided to us by one of our clients and you have questions or requests, please contact that client directly. We will assist them as required by our agreement.
7. Data Security
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information, including access controls, segregation of duties, encryption in transit, multi-stage quality control, employee confidentiality obligations, and ongoing security monitoring. Our program is aligned to SOC 2 principles and ALTA Best Practices.
No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you believe your interaction with us is no longer secure, please contact us immediately.
9. Data Retention
We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including to satisfy legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When information is no longer needed, we delete or de-identify it. Retention of client transaction data is governed by our client agreements and applicable law.
10. Your Choices and Rights
Marketing communications. You can unsubscribe from our emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link in any message or by emailing us. We may still send you transactional or service-related messages.
Access, correction, and deletion. Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, to receive a copy of it in a portable format, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To make a request, contact us using the details in Section 15. We may need to verify your identity before responding, and we will respond within the time required by applicable law.
11. Additional Information for U.S. State Residents
Residents of certain U.S. states, including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, Utah, and others with comprehensive privacy laws, may have additional rights, including the right to know, access, correct, delete, and obtain a copy of their personal information, and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for targeted advertising or cross-context behavioural advertising, and of certain profiling.
Categories we collect (in the preceding 12 months): identifiers (name, email, phone, IP address); commercial and business contact information; internet or network activity (browsing data and interactions with the Website); professional information (company and title); and any other information you choose to provide in communications.
Sale and sharing. We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration. To the extent that use of analytics or advertising cookies is considered a “sale” or “sharing” under applicable law, you may opt out by adjusting your cookie settings, enabling a browser-based opt-out signal such as GPC, or contacting us.
Non-discrimination. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.
Authorized agents and appeals. You may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf. If we deny your request, you may appeal by replying to our decision or contacting us at the address below.
This Section does not apply to NPI covered by the GLBA or to information processed on behalf of our clients as described in Section 6.
12. Visitors Outside the United States
The Website and our services are directed to businesses in the United States. If you access the Website from the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or another region with data protection laws, please note that we process personal information based on one or more of the following: our legitimate interests (such as operating and improving our business and marketing to business contacts), your consent, performance of a contract or steps before entering one, and compliance with legal obligations. You may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to processing, and to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
13. Children's Privacy
The Website is intended for business audiences and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
