We Are Committed to Safeguarding Customer Information
In order to better serve your needs now and in the future, we may ask you
to provide us with certain information. We understand that you may be
concerned about what we will do with such information – particularly any
personal or financial information. We agree that you have a right to know
how we will utilize the personal information you provide to us. Therefore,
we have adopted this Privacy Policy to govern the use and handling of your
personal information.
Applicability
This Privacy Policy governs our use of the information which you provide
to us. It does not govern the manner in which we may use information we
have obtained from any other source, such as information obtained from a
public record or from another person or entity.
Types of Information
Depending upon which of our services you are utilizing, the types of
nonpublic personal information that we may collect include:
• Information we receive from you on
applications, forms and in other communications to us, whether in writing,
in person, by telephone or any other means;
•
Information about your transactions
with us, our affiliated companies, or others; and
•
Information we receive from a
consumer reporting agency.
Use of Information
We request information from you for our own legitimate business purposes
and not for the benefit of any nonaffiliated party. Therefore, we will
not release your information to nonaffiliated parties except: (1) as
necessary for us to provide the product or service you have requested of
us; or (2) as permitted by law. We may, however, store such information
indefinitely, including the period after which any customer relationship
has ceased. Such information may be used for any internal purpose, such as
quality control efforts or customer analysis. We may also provide all of
the types of nonpublic personal information listed above to one or more of
our affiliated companies. Such affiliated companies include financial
service providers, such as title insurers, property and casualty insurers,
and trust and investment advisory companies, or companies involved in real
estate services, such as appraisal companies, home warranty companies, and
escrow companies. Furthermore, we may also provide all the information we
collect, as described above, to companies that perform marketing services
on our behalf, on behalf of our affiliated companies, or to other
financial institutions with whom we or our affiliated companies have joint
marketing agreements.
Former Customers
Even if you are no longer our customer, our Privacy Policy will continue
to apply to you.
Confidentiality and Security
We will use our best efforts to ensure that no unauthorized parties have
access to any of your information. We restrict access to nonpublic
personal information about you to those individuals and entities who need
to know that information to provide products or services to you. We will
use our best efforts to train and oversee our employees and agents to
ensure that your information will be handled responsibly and in accordance
with this Privacy Policy. We currently maintain physical, electronic, and
procedural safeguards that comply with federal regulations to guard your
nonpublic personal information.
