Privacy Statement
July 1, 2001
We recognize and respect the privacy expectations of today’s
consumers and the requirements of applicable federal and state
privacy laws. We believe that making you aware of how we use
your nonpublic personal information (“Personal
Information”), and to whom it is disclosed, will form
the basis for a relationship of trust between us and the public
that we
serve. This Privacy Statement provides that explanation. We
reserve the right to change this Privacy Statement from time
to
time consistent with applicable privacy laws.
In the course of a business, we may collect Personal Information
about you from the following sources:
• From applications or other forms we receive from you
or you r authorized representative;
• From your transactions with, or from the services
being performed by, us, our affiliates or others;
• From our internet web sites;
• From the public records maintained by governmental
entities that we either obtain directly from those entities,
or from
our affiliates or others; and
• From consumer or other reporting agencies.
Our Policies Regarding the Protection of the Confidentiality
and Security of Your Personal Information
We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards
to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access
or
intrusion. We limit access to the Personal Information only
to those employees who need such access in connection with
providing products or services to you or for other legitimate
business purposes.
Our Policies and Practices Regarding the Sharing of Your Personal
Information
We may share your Personal Information with our affiliates,
such as insurance companies, agents, and other real estate
settlement service providers. We also may disclose your Personal
Information:
• to agents, brokers or representatives to provide you
with services you have requested;
• to third-party contractors or service providers who
provide services or perform marketing or other functions on
our
behalf; and
• to others with whom we enter into joint marketing
agreements for products or services that we believe you may
find of
interest.
In addition, we will disclose you Personal Information when
you direct or give us permission, when we are required by
law
to do so, or when we suspect fraudulent or criminal activities.
We also may disclose you Personal Information when
otherwise permitted by applicable privacy laws such as, for
example, when disclosure is needed to enforce our rights arising
out of any agreement, transaction or relationship with you.
One of the important responsibilities of some of our affiliated
companies is to record documents in the public domain. Such
documents may contain your Personal Information.
Right to Access Your Personal Information and Ability to Correct
Errors or Request Changes or Deletion
Certain states afford you the right to access your Personal
Information and, under certain circumstances, to find out
to whom
your Personal Information has been disclosed. Also, certain
states afford you the right to request correction, amendment
or
deletion of your Personal Information. We reserve the right,
where permitted by law, to charge a reasonable fee to cover
the
costs incurred in responding to such requests.
All requests must be made in writing to the following address:
