customized products and services. Personally identifiable information includes, but is not
limited to, first and last name, physical address, zip code, email address, phone number,

supplying us with this information, we reserve the right to share this information with
trusted third-party vendors; affiliates, and / or service companies that provide
contracted services for FHA-Home-Loans.com and our web site
visitors. By utilizing any promotions or services offered by FHA-Home-Loans.com, you
consent to the collection of any data and use of this information by FHA-Home-Loans.com
and agree to use site at your own risk.
We are the sole owner of the information collected on this web site.
Q. Do I need to provide all my personally identifiable
information in order to apply for a loan?
A. You do not have to fill out every single section of our online loan applications in
order to submit your loan application to us. However, we are required by lenders and
government guarantors to collect all of the information requested on the loan application,
so you'll need to give this information to your Loan Consultant when it is requested in
order for us to process your loan.
Q. Does you share my personally identifiable information?
A. We do need to share some of your data with agents and third parties authorized to
process your home or auto loan. In general, we work with the following authorized agents
or third parties to perform services related to your loan:
- Credit agencies
- Underwriting services
- Title and settlement companies
- Appraisal companies
- Mortgage insurance companies
- Trusted third-party vendors, Affiliates, and Service companies
contracted with FHA-Home-Loans.com.
In addition, we need to contact your employer, to verify your
income, and your bank, to verify your assets. We do not share information about your
specific loan application with these institutions.
State and federal agencies require that we provide certain information regarding the
number of loan applications received in particular states, loan amounts, and race and
gender make-up of our customer base. All of this information is disclosed in an aggregated
report without the use of any personally identifiable information.
Like all other licensed mortgage brokers, we are required by all of the states where we
are is licensed to submit to periodic audits of actual customer loan files. This is
to ensure that we are complying with all the regulations in place to protect consumers.
When you complete the Universal Residential Loan
Application, you grant us permission to include your loan file in these compliance
reviews.
Like other licensed mortgage lenders, we are required to perform quality control reviews
monthly on a small percentage of customer loan files to re-verify all of our calculations
and procedures. On occasion in the past we have contracted with outside companies to
perform these quality control reviews. Currently, our staff is performing the reviews and
we expect to keep this function in-house.
Q. Can I ask you to delete my personal information from its systems?
A. Because federal and state regulations require us to provide aggregate data about our
customer base, including race and geographic data about our borrowers, we are prohibited
from deleting loan application data from our databases, even for loan applications that
are withdrawn. This information is stored securely and is accessible only to selected
employees. Aside from state and Federal regulatory authorities that perform
periodic compliance reviews for the protection of consumers, and, in rare cases,
contractors hired to perform quality control reviews (see above), third parties do not
have access to this application data.
Q. Will you send me information not directly related to my loan application? Can I
choose not to receive it?
A. We routinely email a short customer satisfaction survey to every customer. After your
loan is funded, you may choose to ask us not to send the survey. Please note that even if
we do send it, you can still choose not to complete it. Generally, we offer incentives,
like gift certificates, to people who complete the surveys to thank them for helping us
better understand their needs. If you earn a gift certificate, we may need to send your
name, address, email address and phone number to the company sending out the gift
certificates.
After your loan is closed, we will periodically send your emails about new products we
offer that can help you save money by reducing your cost of borrowing. Our customers
generally find this information very helpful, but you can choose not to receive it by
responding to the opt-out question we ask you after your loan is funded.
If you have signed up to receive automatic emails about new loan products through our free
service features on our website, you can cancel at anytime by simply sending an email. You
can also respond to our email with "unsubscribe" in the subject line, and
we'll delete your name.
Q. How long will you keep my personal information on file?
A. In keeping with Federal and state banking regulations, we may not delete customer
information even for loans that are withdrawn for a period of seven years.
Q. How secure are your systems and procedures?
A. Every staff member is trained on our privacy and security
procedures on their first day of employment. In order to be employed, each person must
sign a pledge up to uphold our privacy and security standards, and commit not to share
your information with any third parties other than authorized agents.
Q. Who can I contact to find out more about your privacy practices?
A. Please contact our Privacy and Compliance department by email. We welcome your comments
and suggestions about how we can improve our privacy procedures.
