Information
We Collect
In order to
ensure that consumers get the very best
service, SBAAA collects demographic
information, web pages visited and other
consumer-volunteered information from
sources such as forms, e-mail
communications, survey information
and/or site registrations. SBAAA’ s
request forms may require users to give
us information such as your name,
address, phone number, social security
number, e-mail address and certain
financial and credit-related
information. In addition, users who
desire to receive automotive finance
quotes provide us with and authorize us
to convey to our trusted fulfillment
partners the right to obtain financial
information about such users.
This
information allows SBAAA to match you
with a trusted fulfillment partner, such
as an automobile dealer or bank, that we
feel is best able to fill your request.
This information also helps SBAAA in the
development or referral of valued
products and services offered by SBAAA
and other companies that we believe will

Site, customize the content and/or
layout of this Site for individual
users, and to contact users for
marketing purposes as well as route
requests to our trusted fulfillment
partners. Please note that SBAAA does
not provide financing, credit, vehicles
or related products or services. SBAAA
transmits any requests for financing,
credit, vehicles or related products or
services to trusted fulfillment partners
for consideration.
SBAAA
