Privacy Policy
We are committed to respecting your right to
privacy and will protect it when you visit
our website.
This Privacy Policy explains our online
information practices only, including how we
collect and use your personal information.
It covers information collected on this
website only. It does not apply to other
sites you reach through our site. We
encourage you to read the Privacy Policies
of those other parties to learn how they
collect and use information about you.
To assist you with reading our Privacy
Policy, we have provided answers to the
following questions you may find most
important:
What information do we collect automatically
online?
When you visit our website, we collect
information about your visit that does not
identify you personally. We can tell the
type of computer, browser, and Web service
you are using. We also know the date, time,
and pages you visit. Collecting this
information helps us design the site to suit
your needs. If you are registered with our
site, we will try to automatically identify
you so that you don’t have to sign-in upon
each return visit.
What additional information do we collect
about you online?
If you ask us a question or register with
this site, we collect your contact
information and additional information that
you volunteer so that we can respond to your
request. We’ll track your online activity
and the information we collect is used to
improve the content of our Web pages, used
to customize the content and/or layout of
our pages to optimize your website
experience.
If you supply us with your telephone number
online you may receive telephone contact
from us with information regarding your
visit to our website. If you do not wish to
receive such telephone calls, please let us
know by responding to the initial email that
you receive from us.
Do we share the information we collect
online?
We do not share any information about you
unless we are required by law to do so for
authorized law enforcement, homeland
security, and national security. We state on
the website that when you contact us about a
mortgage an officer from our preferred
lending partner will contact you regarding
your inquiry. This Lending partner is
contractually bound by the policy and terms
of this website.
How do we handle email communication?
If you provide us with your email address
and you choose to correspond with us via
email, we may choose to store these
correspondences together with your
registration information.
Occasionally, we may also send you email
notifications relating to new offers that we
feel that you might find valuable. If
at any time you wish to stop receiving these
offers, you may click the unsubscribe link
on any of these communications to opt-out or
email your request to our website company.
Do we use cookies or other tracking devices?
A "cookie" is a small text file that is
stored on your computer and makes it easy
for you to move around a website without
having to continually re-enter your name,
password, preferences, and so on. We use
cookies to store visitors’ preferences,
record user-specific information on what
pages users access or visit, customize Web
page content based on visitors’ browser type
or other information that the visitor sends.
What if I am on the Do Not Call Registry?
If you supply us with a phone number, then
you are giving us permission to call you
even if you are on the U.S. Do Not Call
Registry. If you choose not to be bothered,
please let us know. We will add
you to our own Do Not Call list.
What are your rights under the Privacy Act
of 1974?
The Privacy Act of 1974 protects the
personal information the federal government
keeps on you in "systems of records (SOR)"
(information an agency controls that can be
retrieved by name or some other personal
identifier). The Privacy Act regulates how
the government can disclose, share, provide
access to, and maintain the personal
information that it collects. Not all
information collected online is covered by
the Privacy Act.
The Act's major provisions require agencies
to:
-
Publish a Privacy Act Notice in the
Federal Register explaining the
existence, character and uses of a new
or revised SOR;
-
Keep information about you accurate,
relevant, timely, and complete to assure
fairness in dealing with you; and
-
Allow you to, upon request, access and
review your information held in a SOR
and request amendment of the information
if you disagree with it.
We do not collect any information subject to
the Privacy Act.
