Privacy
Policy
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 e‑mail 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, your search queries, 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.”
