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.

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.

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.
