SecureRights Privacy Policy
SecureRights is an independent third party verification service
that is dedicated to combating fraud and protecting consumer privacy.
When consumers seeking financial products and services submit their
information through websites prominently displaying the SecureRights
logo, SecureRights verifies this consumer information and shares
that information only with providers of those financial products
and services. SecureRights also provides a mechanism for consumers
to report fraud or violations of their privacy. If you have questions
or concerns about this Privacy Policy, you should contact SecureRights
by going to the "Contact Us" page on the SecureRights
website at www.securerights.org.
Your privacy is important to us. We understand that in seeking
information on a mortgage refinance or other financial product or
service you are entrusting us with your personal financial information.
SecureRights was created with consumer protection as a primary goal,
and under no circumstances will we sell or share your personal information
except as authorized by you or as required by law. This Privacy
Policy describes how we use personal information that you submit
to us through a website displaying the SecureRights logo, how that
information is protected, and what safeguards are available to you
if you believe that your privacy has been violated or your personal
information misappropriated.
1. Who We Are. SecureRights is a third party verification service
dedicated to protecting consumers from fraud and privacy violations.
We work with other businesses displaying the SecureRights logo such
as the one from whose website you transferred to get to this site.
We provide a secure platform for these businesses to manage and
oversee the collection and transfer of consumer information. SecureRights
verifies information submitted through its system by individual
consumers seeking information on financial products and services
from the businesses that provide them.
2. Information We Collect. When you inquire about financial products
or services through a website displaying the SecureRights logo,
you may be asked to enter personal and non-personal information.
Depending on the type of products or services you are inquiring
about, you may need to provide personal and financial information
such as your name, phone number, Social Security Number, e-mail
address, income and other financial information. SecureRights will
never request or collect data on subject areas including medical/health
conditions; racial or ethnic origin; political, religious or philosophical
beliefs or affiliations; trade union membership or sex life. We
will not sell or share any personal information about you or with
any other third party except as authorized by you, to financial
product and service providers who are network members in the SecureRights
system for the purpose of providing the product or service you are
requesting, or as may be required by law.
SecureRights' technology also tracks aggregate information about
how our system is being used, including anonymous user information,
the number of visitors to our system sites, dates and times of visits
and unique IP identifiers of the computers that communicate with
our system.
You may also contact SecureRights through the "Contact Us"
feature. Participation in this area is completely voluntary and
it is your choice whether or not you wish to disclose your personal
information to us. In the "Contact Us" form, we may ask
you for personally identifiable information such as your name, mailing
address, email address, etc. This information will not be sold to
any person or organization. However, your information may be shared
with other parties relevant to your inquiry through SecureRights
to help resolve any issues you report to us. This is also the case
if you file a complaint form through SecureRights, as described
below, to report possible fraud or a violation of your privacy.
3. How Your Information is Used. When you make an inquiry about
a loan or other product through a website displaying the SecureRights
logo by entering your personal information and clicking on the "Submit"
button, you are authorizing SecureRights to share your inquiry and
your personal information with other businesses who participate
in the SecureRights system who provide financial products or services
that match your inquiry. Financial institutions and other loan services
who subscribe to our system compete for the opportunity to provide
financial products and services that matches your inquiry. By submitting
your information to us, you are also authorizing these businesses
to contact you directly by e-mail and telephone with information
about financial products or services they offer that match your
inquiry.
Your information will not be shared by SecureRights with other
third parties or for any other purpose. However, you should be aware
that we have no control over how other businesses with whom we share
your information may use it or whether they will sell or share your
information with third parties. You should also be aware when you
enter your information through a website displaying the SecureRights
logo, that website's servers may be managed and operated by a business
over which SecureRights has no direct control. Consequently, these
businesses, such as the one from whose website you transferred here,
may have direct access to your information. Although SecureRights
strongly encourages the members of its network and the lead buyers
and sellers who participate in the SecureRights system to adopt
responsible approaches to online marketing, SecureRights is not
responsible for the information practices of these businesses or
their partners. The collection, use, and disclosure of information
by these business and their partners who may have access to your
personal information through our online marketplace are subject
to their respective privacy policies, which may differ from the
SecureRights policy. Before you enter your personal information
through this website, you should also consult the privacy policy
of the business from whose website you transferred to get to this
one.
As part of the SecureRights system of anti-fraud protection, we
may also contact you directly to verify that you have submitted
the information received through our website. By entering and submitting
your personal contact information, including phone number and e-mail
address to our website, you are authorizing SecureRights, at its
discretion, to contact you to confirm your identity and confirm
that you are interested in seeking information about the financial
products or services in your request. SecureRights may contact you,
either by phone or e-mail, to confirm that your information has
not been submitted to our Web site fraudulently or in error.
SecureRights may release account and any other personal information
when we believe release is appropriate to respond to a subpoena
or otherwise comply with the law or protect the rights, property,
or safety of SecureRights or others. This includes exchanging information
with other companies and organizations for fraud protection.
4. How Our Privacy Policy is Monitored. Protecting your privacy
and monitoring the integrity of the SecureRights network against
identity theft, fraud, spam and other illegal or nuisance activities
are key objectives of SecureRights. To this end we have designed
several means of tracking your information once submitted and helping
to ensure that it remains secure.
SecureRights employs industry standard security measures to ensure
the security of all personal data you submit directly to us. Any
data that is stored on SecureRights servers is treated as proprietary
and confidential and is not available to the public. SecureRights
routinely evaluates its data security practices to identify security
threats or opportunities for improvement. However, no transmission
of data over the Internet is guaranteed to be completely secure.
It may be possible for third parties not under the control of SecureRights
to intercept or access transmissions or private communications unlawfully.
While we strive to protect your personally identifiable information,
SecureRights cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information
that you transmit to us.
In addition to our technical security measures, we may attempt
to contact you directly to confirm that you are the person whose
contact information was submitted and that you are actually interested
in seeking information on the financial products and services identified
in your inquiry. By submitting your contact information to the SecureRights
website, you are authorizing us to contact you, in our discretion,
for this purpose. Before your information is submitted to our online
marketplace and matched with a financial vendor, you may receive
an e-mail or telephone call from a member of SecureRights' staff
to confirm your identity and interest in such a solicitation. If
we discover that your information has been submitted to us fraudulently
or in error, we will not forward your information to any third party
and will retain your confidential information for identification
purposes to prevent further abuse of your privacy. We will also
take all enforcement action that we feel may be appropriate.
In addition, if you become aware, either from our contact with
a SecureRights staff member or otherwise, that your personal information
has been submitted to SecureRights or by a business affiliated with
the SecureRights network without your authorization, you may complete
and submit a complaint form at www.securerights.org which we will
use to investigate and resolve your complaint. By completing and
submitting the SecureRights fraud complaint form, you are authorizing
SecureRights to contact you further as needed for any additional
information to investigate and resolve your complaint.
5. Changes to This Policy; Additional Information. If you have
questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy, you should
first contact SecureRights by going to the "Contact Us"
page at www.securerights.org. SecureRights may find it necessary
or be legally obligated to update this Privacy Policy from time
to time. When we do, we will post those changes on this page and
update the effective date so that you are always aware of the information
we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose
it. Any changes will become effective upon posting, unless otherwise
stated.
This Privacy Policy describes the standards to which SecureRights
adheres in handling information about consumers and their requests
for information on loans and other financial products. However,
SecureRights is not responsible for the privacy policies and practices
of the financial product and service providers who participate in
its online marketplace and may contact you with their offerings
once you submit your information. We also have no direct control
over the practices and privacy policies of the businesses, such
as the one from whose website you transferred to this site, who
participate in the SecureRights network. Although we monitor our
network for fraud and other illegal activity and we encourage the
businesses who participate in our marketplace and display the SecureRights
logo to adhere to our same standards of information privacy, we
cannot control their operations or policies. If you have submitted
your information to SecureRights through one of these businesses
or are contacted by them subsequently, we encourage you review their
privacy policies and to contact them directly for more information.
