Would you though consider giving your BTC to them for cash loan knowing that your details and how much in BTC you have will become available? For myself, I think not. It is not wroth giving your BTC as collateral in exchange for an agreed rate as I do not know how that information can be used. At the same time it which option you choose does depend on your idea of data protection.
