3. How your information is used.
- Sharing information with our participating Lenders and real estate professionals.
After up to four participating Lenders and/or real estate professionals receive your
information, they may contact you directly via phone, e-mail or other communications. All
of our Lenders and real estate agents operate under federal and/or state laws and
regulations and believe, as we do, that the Internet is an exciting and secure place to do
business. If you are matched with any participating Lenders, the Lender with which you
choose to close your loan and/or obtain your credit card will report certain information
about your loan and/or credit card to ClickForFunds.com, and ClickForFunds.com will treat
that information in the manner it treats the information you provided on your
qualification form. As our Lenders and real estate professionals may keep and use your
information whether or not you qualify for a transaction with them, we recommend that you
contact them directly for more information about their specific privacy policies.
- Sharing information with third parties. Following is an example of how
ClickForFunds.com may act as an agent for our participating Lenders and real estate
professionals. A Lender may instruct us to share information with an appraiser to prepare
an appraisal of the property to be mortgaged, with a flood certification provider to
determine whether the property lies in a flood plain, or with a prospective secondary
market purchaser of the mortgage loan the lender may make. In such situations, we will be
acting on behalf of the Lender, under the authority of the Lender's privacy policy, a copy
of which you will receive from the Lender. All of the information-sharing we do as agent
for the Lender would be permissible under applicable federal law for the Lender to do
directly.
From time to time, ClickForFunds.com may notify you about a special offer from one of our
promotional partners. At your request, ClickForFunds.com will not send you any information
or offers unrelated to your request for financing.
4. Altering Information You Submit Through a ClickForFunds.com Web Site.
- Changing your information. If you want to change the type of loan or make other
significant changes to your qualification form, you might need to make another request
through our Web site.
- Deleting your information. Even if your qualification form was withdrawn, by law,
we cannot delete that information. We store all of the information you might provide
securely.
