I. Browse With Confidence

The HomeEquity.net Web site contains a wealth of information designed to help you acquire the new home loan, or mortgage product that is right for you. You are welcome to browse the site without revealing any personally identifiable information.

If you decide to tell us about yourself, whether by completing one of our Quote Request Forms or otherwise, you need not worry about your privacy because we do not willfully use, sell or disclose your personally identifiable information unless you give us permission to do so or unless we are required to do so by law.

II. General Information We Collect and How We Use It.

Like most other web sites, HomeEquity.net automatically collects certain limited information, but that information but does not identify you. HomeEquity.net collects and stores your computer’s Internet address (IP protocol) but not your email address.

III. How We Use the Information You Submit in Our Online Forms.

A. Quote Request Forms.

If you click on “Get a Free Quote,” we will collect your name, address, telephone numbers, e-mail address and other information pertinent to your purchase of a mortgage product. We collect this information by asking you to enter it into our Quote Request Form. You may give us the information or not — the choice is yours.

When you submit personally identifiable information via our quote request form, your personal information is stored on our secure server. We also email it to industry professionals for purposes of giving you a personalized finance quotation. By submitting our quote form you are creating a client-service provider relationship and giving us permission to call you or email you, or to have our referred agent call your or email you. Other than those providers selected to prepare quotes for you, we do not share it with anyone else unless you give us permission to do so or we are required to do so by law.

B. Other Uses of Information.

When you submit a Quote Request Form, we will automatically send you Your Financial Health, our monthly email Newsletter, and perhaps also other information which we believe will be valuable to you. (See below regarding how to end these communications.)

We may also use information received from our users in an aggregated form for purposes evaluating the quality of our service or communicating the effectiveness of our business. But such aggregated information will not identify you or anyone else.

IV. Security of Information

The security of confidential and private information is one of our top priorities. Information we receive via the Annuity.net web site is stored on our secure servers and is protected by a firewall.

HomeEquity.net provides links to third-party web sites as a convenience to our users. The inclusion of any link does not imply an endorsement or recommendation of the third-party organization, its web site, or its products and services. HomeEquity.net has not reviewed and is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such web sites.
