OUR
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,
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.
