Introduction
At LoanWell, we’re committed to revolutionizing lending with LoanWell AI, a suite of intelligent tools designed to transform how lending teams process applications and analyze documents. LoanWell AI’s modules – Detection, Verification, Insights, Synthesis, Qualification, and Underwriting – leverage the power of Artificial Intelligence from leading providers – Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic – to save critical time, create clear, automated, and policy-driven next steps, and ultimately enhance your lending operations. This policy outlines how we utilize AI, how we handle your data, and our unwavering commitment to protecting your information.
Data Retention and Processing
- Prompt & Response Retention: To support security monitoring, troubleshooting, and compliance obligations, we may retain prompts and AI-generated responses submitted through our AI modules in accordance with LoanWell’s documented data retention schedule and data security protocols. We limit retention to the minimum necessary, restrict access to authorized personnel, and delete or de-identify data when it is no longer needed for those purposes.
- Partner Data Handling: Our AI models are powered by Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic. All data transmitted between your interactions and these providers is subject to their security and privacy policies. We have robust contractual agreements ensuring their data handling practices align with our commitment. Most partner agreements include retention periods of 30 days or less.
- No Training or Re-use: We never use your prompts or any of the responses generated by our AI models for model training or re-training. Your data will never be stored by our providers for training or re-use.
- Internal Use Only: Any retained prompts and responses are used only for approved internal purposes such as security monitoring, maintaining service quality, troubleshooting, and improving our AI features, subject to access controls and audit logging. We do not use this data for marketing or advertising.
- Limited Logging: We engage in required logging activities with our enterprise providers, which are subject to their individual data processing agreements.
LoanWell Specific Considerations
- Document Categorization & Validation: The AI detects and categorizes documents (Tax Returns, Bank Statements, etc.). While we retain the instructions for these categorizations, the documents themselves are processed by our provider(s), subject to their retention policies.
- Fraud Assessment: The AI assesses fraud likelihood based on document analysis. We retain the AI's assessment along with the document data for our internal analysis.
- Insights & Analysis: The AI generates insights and analysis, intended to aid your final review, not replace it. Our insights often uncover details that our customers may overlook, providing a powerful assist in your decision-making process.
Review & Updates
This policy will be reviewed and updated periodically to reflect evolving best practices and regulatory requirements. We will notify you of any significant changes.
