PRIVACY POLICY
Introduction
Respecting and protecting customer privacy is vital to our business. Keeping customer
information secure is a priority at CashCall’s mortgage
division, and we want you to be aware of our intended collection and disclosure
of your personal information. This privacy policy explains how we will handle your
information, and how we will use it to serve you better. The provisions of this
policy will apply to former and current customers, consumers and visitors to our
Internet web site, unless we state otherwise. This policy also applies to customers
who use our call center to provide personal information. If you provide us nonpublic
personal information you may opt out of our sharing information with non-affiliated
companies. Please see the Opt Out Notice section
at the end of this policy.
Confidentiality and Security/With Whom Do We Share Your Information
We restrict access to nonpublic personal information about you to (i)
those employees who need to know your information to provide services to you, (ii)
third party entities and financial service providers that deliver services to us
(such as consumer credit reporting agencies), (iii) to any entity necessary to effect,
administer or enforce a transaction that you have requested or authorized, and (iv)
nonaffiliated marketing partners. When we use other companies to provide services
for us, we request that they protect the confidentiality of personal information
they receive as required by law. The law permits us to share information about our
current and former customers with government agencies or authorized third parties
under certain circumstances. For example, we may be required to share such information
in response to subpoenas or to comply with certain laws, such as the Fair Credit
Reporting Act. From time to time, we may also tell you about special offers from
unrelated companies that we think may interest you. These companies will not learn
about your relationship with us unless you respond to their offers.
We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal
regulations to guard your nonpublic personal information from unauthorized access.
Please note that if your loan is approved and completed, or if we purchase your
loan from another lender, your loan may be serviced by a third party other than
CashCall (for example, the service provider might assist in collecting payments
or provide other customer and accounting services). We will require that any third
party servicing a loan held by us, or that assists us in underwriting or originating
a loan, will comply with our privacy policy. However, pursuant to laws, regulations,
or business transactions, your information may be transferred to other third parties
(such as purchasers of loans or regulatory agencies), and we cannot control how
that third party may handle your information. Furthermore, in the event that we
transfer your loan to a third party and we also transfer the servicing of that loan,
then this privacy policy will only apply to the information
regarding you that we retain, and is not binding on the purchaser of the loan and
their servicer. Please check the privacy policy of any third party that originated
your loan or services your loan to understand how your information may be handled
by them.

INTERNET SECURITY DISCLOSURE
We have implemented a commercially recognized high level of security for transmitting
personal information via the Internet. We utilize Secured Sockets Layer protocol
(SSL 3.0) and Microsoft's Private Communication Technology protocol (PCT 1.0) with
full support for 128-bit encryption methods. As of the effective date of this privacy
policy, these secured encryption methods are preferred by the industry for online
commerce and transactions on the Internet. Also, the Internet Web Server is protected
by a firewall which restricts access from unauthorized or unrecognized sources coming
from the Internet.
Our encryption technology, as well as our Web site’s security in general, is certified
periodically by VeriSign for online authentication services. This provides you with
the reassurance that our internet security system conforms to the industry standards.
These encryption protocols are used in several areas during the Internet Loan Application
process:
|
• |
At the loan application web page when the applicant is entering their personal information. |
|
• |
For internal validation/verification processes. |
|
• |
When you are executing and submitting your online promissory note. |
|
• |
During ALL communications between our Internet server and our host processing system. |
Some web browsers do not support secure servers. If you have difficulty accessing
this area of our site, please call us toll-free at 1-866-708-LOAN (5626) to talk
to us.
We strive to protect your data and safeguard it from access by unauthorized individuals.
However, the Internet is generally accessible by the public, and information which
is available on the Internet (including the information supplied by you on this
Web site or sent to an e-mail address provided by you) is potentially accessible
by unintended third parties. Your use of this Web site and your disclosure of personal
information through this Web site, on or through any server, is at your own risk,
and we provide alternative means for you to transact with us. Although we will use
commercially reasonable efforts to safeguard your data, we do not guarantee the
security of any user provided data.

on our web site in a timely manner and persons who are not CashCall customers must

The effective date of this policy, stated above, indicates the last time this policy
was revised or materially changed. Checking the effective date allows you to determine
whether there have been changes since the last time you reviewed the policy.
