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.
