Sharing & Disclosure · Permission or license
Credit Karma can periodically send your profile to participating issuers
You authorize Credit Karma to periodically share personal profile information it has collected about you with current or future participating credit card issuers. The purpose is for those issuers to identify and return pre-qualified credit card offers; each submission is a pre-qualified offer request.

Supporting quotations
I authorize Credit Karma to periodically share personal profile information it has collected about me with current or future participating credit card issuers (“participating issuers”) so that they can identify and return certain “prequalified” credit card offers (each such submission, a “pre-qualified offer request”).
Data Access & Collection · Permission or license
Issuers may use soft credit checks only to identify and provide offers
You authorize each participating issuer to obtain and use your consumer report information from one or more reporting agencies, such as TransUnion, Equifax or Experian. These soft inquiries do not affect your credit score, and the report information is to be used solely to identify and provide pre-qualified offers. This assurance concerns checking for offers: if you later apply, the issuer may run a hard inquiry that can affect your score.

Supporting quotations
I authorize each participating issuer to obtain and use consumer report information about me from one or more consumer reporting agencies (such as TransUnion, Equifax or Experian). These soft inquiries will not impact my credit score and my consumer report information will be used solely in connection with identifying and providing me with pre-qualified offers.
While checking for pre-qualified offers does not result in a hard inquiry or affect my credit score, I understand that if I choose to apply for a pre-qualified offer with a participating issuer, that issuer may run a hard inquiry, which can impact my credit score.
Cross-references
contrast (model-proposed): Applying for an offer may affect your credit score — The no-score-impact assurance applies to pre-qualification soft checks. Applying for a resulting offer is a separate step at which the issuer may make a hard inquiry that can affect the score.
Charges & Financial Obligations · Restriction or exception
A pre-qualified offer is not credit approval
Requesting pre-qualified offers through the platform is not a credit application and does not guarantee approval. You still need to submit an application to a participating issuer.

Charges & Financial Obligations · Restriction or exception
Applying for an offer may affect your credit score
Checking for pre-qualified offers does not create a hard inquiry or affect your score. If you choose to apply for an offer with a participating issuer, however, that issuer may run a hard inquiry, which can affect your credit score.

The platform does not cover all issuers or all their products
Many credit card issuers participate, but not all do. Even for a participating issuer, the platform may omit some products. The terms describe available products as subject to change.

Available Products Subject to Change. I understand that many, but not all, credit card issuers participate in the CC Pre-Qualification Platform and that the platform may not include every product offered by participating issuers.
Credit Karma chooses when and where to check for offers
Credit Karma has sole discretion over when, how often and with which participating issuers it checks for pre-qualified offers. Its choices are based on each issuer’s criteria, the availability of information needed to identify offers and other relevant factors; the terms do not promise a fixed checking schedule.

I further understand that Credit Karma will determine, in its sole discretion, when, how often, and with which participating issuers it checks for pre-qualified offers based on criteria from each participating issuer, availability of information needed to identify prequalified offers and other relevant factors.

Credit Karma may send email or push notifications about recommended pre-qualified offers resulting from requests submitted on your behalf. These offer notifications are optional: you can turn them off in Communications & Monitoring Settings.
