Purpose: Our purpose in establishing this policy is to balance our legitimate business interests in collecting and using information with our Users' reasonable expectations of privacy both online and offline.

However, be assured that We will not disclose Personal Information (as defined herein) to third parties without Your consent, except as may be noted in this Privacy Policy or disclosed to You when the information is submitted.

With Whom Do We Share Information?

As a general rule, We will not disclose any specific personal information that You submit to Us about You ("Personal Information") in a manner that connects You with the Personal Information, except when We have Your permission or under special circumstances, such as when We believe in good faith that the law requires it or under the circumstances described below. The following describes some of the ways that Your Personal Information may be disclosed.

Business Partners: We may disclose some or all of Your Personal Information to business partners (e.g. Lenders, Title Insurers) solely where necessary to support the services that We deliver to You, and in accordance with Our contracts with Our clients and Customers.

Other: We may also disclose account information in special cases when We have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating Our Terms of Use, or may be causing injury to or interference (either intentionally or unintentionally) with any of Our rights or property, other Users, or anyone else. We may disclose or access account information when We believe in good faith that the law requires it and for administrative and other purposes that We deem necessary to maintain, service, and improve Our products and services.

Security: We collect information only in a manner deemed reasonably necessary to serve Our legitimate business purposes and to comply with Our legal obligations. The security of all information associated with Our Users is of utmost concern to Us. We exercise commercially reasonable care in providing for secure transmission of your personal information between Your PC and Our servers as well as Us and Our business partners. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while We strive to protect Your Personal Information, We can't ensure or warrant the security of any information You transmit to Us or from Our online products or services, and You do so at your own risk. We use industry standard efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your information during transmission across the Internet, such as firewalls and encryption technologies. However, "perfect security" does not exist on the Internet. In the event, You cease to be a User of Ours for any reason, we will maintain and disclose Your Information consistent with the privacy policies and practices that apply to Our then current Users.

The Internet: Like many other Internet sites, we automatically collect certain non-personal information regarding our Web Site Users, such as software client information (for example, IP address and browser version) for purposes of system administration, and to enable us to tailor content and services to provide a better fit to our Web Site Users' needs, and we may also aggregate information (for example, number of pages accessed) in order to analyze Web traffic and usage trends. Information of this nature does not pertain to your specific identity and is not associated with your personal information.

We can and will however use IP addresses to identify a User when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our site terms of use or terms of service or to protect our service, site, customers or others.
