Because we value your
patronage, we want to address any privacy concerns you may
have.
To that end, we have set forth our privacy policy for
handling the information you share with us online.
We want your decision to do business with us to be an
informed one.
1. Collecting
Information
When you visit our
Website, we may collect information about you that you
voluntarily choose to share with us. This identification
information may include, but is not limited to, your name,
your physical address, your email address, your telephone
and fax numbers, details of your real estate and lending
needs and preferences, and other details of your life.
What may be less obvious to you is that, when you visit our
Website, we may collect data involving your usage through
the use of cookies(i.e. small text files placed on your
computer by a Website), Web server logs, and other Web
tools. This technology allows us to customize your online
experience, as well as track your Internet use. The
tracking data we collect may include, but is not limited
to, the date and time you visit, the time you spend, the
Web pages you view, the other Websites you visit, your
search queries, and basic information about your computer,
such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address, your domain
name, your browser type, and the name of your Internet
service provider. You may deactivate cookies if you do not
want your browsing to be tracked, but doing so may hinder
your online experience.
When visiting our Website, you may be directed, through
hyperlinks, to other Websites that are beyond our control.
Furthermore, when you are visiting our Website, other
companies, such as third party advertisers and sponsors,
may be gathering information about you. This Privacy
Policy does not cover the collection of information by
those other companies and Websites. Although we encourage
third parties to provide their own privacy policies, we are
not responsible for their activities, such as how they
handle the information they collect online.
2. Using
Information Collected
We primarily use the
identification information you voluntarily share with us to
customize your online experience and to do what you have
asked of us. We also use your identification information
to tell you about our products and services, but you may
instruct us not to send communications to you by following
the procedure indicated below under Contacting Us. On
occasion, we use your identification information to
validate your identity. As for usage tracking data, we
primarily use that information to operate and improve our
Website, and to further our marketing efforts.
As a general rule, we do not share your information with
unaffiliated third parties. We may, however, share your
information with our own personnel and our service
providers to the extent necessary to fulfill your
requests. We may also share your information with our
affiliates, but we will not share it with unaffiliated
third parties for direct marketing purposes. We reserve
the right to disclose your information under limited
circumstances, such as to cooperate with law enforcement or
judicial authorities as required by law or legal process,
to protect our own legal rights, or to protect the public
good.
Whenever you are online, you run the risk that the
information you give out will fall into the wrong hands.
Although we implement and maintain reasonable security
procedures and practices to safeguard your privacy, we
cannot guarantee the security of any information you
provide to us. We accept no responsibility or liability
for the activities of third parties.
3. Updating
Information
If you would like to
review the information about you that we have collected
through our Website, or to change that information, you can
make that request by following the procedure indicated
below under Contacting Us. We may require that you verify
your identity before we process your request.
4. Updating Our
Privacy Policy
We may, from time to
time, change our Privacy Policy. We will notify you of any
changes by posting our updated Privacy Policy on our
Website and inserting a new Effective Date.
