Our Commitment To Privacy

We-Refi.com
is committed to your right to privacy. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested.
- What Information Do We Collect?
-
This notice
applies to all information collected or submitted on the We-Refi.com
website. When you visit our site, you can choose to complete a full application, a request for us to analyze your mortgage, ask us to call you, or you can choose to call us. On some pages, you can provide information to help us provide mortgage financing
for you, analyze your finances with our mortgage calculators, make requests, and register to receive materials. The types of personal information collected at these pages
includes, but is not limited to:
-
Name
-
Address
-
Email address
-
Phone number
-
Social Security Number
-
Date of Birth
-
Employment Information
-
Financial Assets Information
-
Credit/Debit Card Information
This site does use cookies, but these cookies are NOT tied to personally identifiable
information and are only used to assist in mortgage calculations and form
completion.
-
The Way We Use Information and your choices regarding the collection of the
information:
-
We use the information you provide about yourself when applying for a mortgage only to complete that transaction.
This includes the information necessary to perform a credit check. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete that
order.
The parties with which we share the most sensitive information include credit
reporting agencies, and underwriters that may approve or decline your
loan. Consequently, we supplement the information you provide to us with
information from third-party credit reporting agencies regarding your credit
history as reported by those credit reporting agencies.
As required, we may confirm employment with your employer, and financial assets
with the asset holder. We do not share credit or debt information
with these parties.
-
We use return email addresses to answer the email we receive. Such addresses are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with outside
parties. For example, we have a Rate Watch function on our site. You
will be notified once, via email, when rates reach your requested level.
We use the phone numbers you provide to call you if we have questions regarding
your application, or if you have asked us to call you.
-
We use non-identifying and aggregate information to
better design our website and to share with
advertisers, such as which pages where the first page viewed, browser type, and
your computer operating system.
For example, we may tell an advertiser that X number
of individuals visited a certain area on our website,
or that Y number of men and Z number of
women filled out our registration form, but we would
not disclose anything that could be used to identify
those individuals or could be tied to personally identifiable
information.
Finally, we never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.
You have an option not to provide this information over our website. You
can provide the information via the phone, or via mail.
Keep in mind that the more complete information you provide, the more accurate
mortgage quote we can provide. Some information is required by law before
we can offer a firm loan commitment.
-
- Do We Sell Your Information?
-
No. Your information is used only in connection with the
application of this mortgage transaction. In the future we may contact you
via email or phone for additional mortgage information. You will have an
opportunity to decline or opt-out of these contacts. You will not be
contacted by a third party, except as required for this transaction. The
third parties that may contact you include the appraiser to schedule an
appraisal of your home, the attorney to schedule the loan closing, and the
financial institution that may service your loan.
-
-
Our Commitment To Data Security
-
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
-
- Secure Web Pages - All of the pages on our web site that ask for your personal financial information are delivered to your
browser through HTTPS, a secure server
communications layer.
You can check this encryption by
checking for the key (Netscape) or lock (Internet Explorer)
icon on your browser.
If your browser’s security feature
has been turned on,
a pop up box will notify you when
you enter a secure page.
- Encryption
- When you send your personal financial information
to us, it is protected by SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) Technology. SSL does not allow
anyone to intercept and read your personal
information. When you send your
information to us, SSL
encrypts it (translates the data into a string of
gibberish characters). Only we can decode the encryption.
- Firewall Protection
- Your financial information is not
kept on our web server, but on a different computer that
is separated from the Internet. Even in the unlikely event
that our web site is "hacked," your data will still remain
securely out of reach.
- Password Protection
- Any access to your loan status is password protected and restricted to the loan
specialist assigned. All employees are kept up to date on our privacy
policy.
Our Commitment To Children's Privacy:
-
Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, we never collect or maintain information at our website from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 13.
- How You Can Access Or Correct Your Information
-
You will be sent a paper copy of the mortgage application you submit online so
that you can review the information for completeness and accuracy. You can
change or update that information while your loan is in process by contacting
your assigned loan consultant at 877-523-3886. You can access all your personally identifiable information that we collect online and maintain by
contacting our customer service department.
We use this procedure to better safeguard your information.
You can correct factual errors in your personally identifiable information by sending us a request
to correct the information in error. Keep in mind that we will require
proof of your identity to correct the information in error.
To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections.
We do not keep your personally identifiable information on our website.
- How to Contact Us
If you have questions or concerns regarding this privacy statement, you should first
contact the We-Refi.com site coordinator
at 877-523-3886 x201 or via email at customers@we-refi.com.
-
Changes
-
We reserve the right to modify or amend the Privacy Statement.
If we are going to use your personally identifiable information in a manner
different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify you via
email.
You will have a choice as to whether or not we use your information in
this different manner.
In addition, if we make any material changes in our privacy practices that do
not affect user information already stored in our database, we will post a
prominent notice on our web site notifying users of the change.
In some cases where we post the notice we will also email users, who have opted
to receive communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy
practices.
