PRIVACY POLICY

At HomeIT Lending, customer service, trust and confidence is a high priority. That’s why we welcome this opportunity to describe our privacy policies, the steps we take to protect and maintain your information and to let you know how you can choose how your customer information may be shared.

We collect nonpublic personal information about you, including:

• Information we receive from you on applications, surveys, online registrations or other forms (such as your name, address, assets, income and debt) • Information about your transactions with us, our affiliates or others (such as account balance, payment history or information about our communications with you) • Information about your creditworthiness, credit history and other facts about you that we obtain from consumer reporting agencies or from providers of marketing and demographic information

Protecting the Confidentiality and Security of Your Information

Keeping financial information secure is one of our most important responsibilities. Only those persons who need it to perform their job responsibilities are authorized to access your information. We take commercially reasonable precautions to protect your information and limit disclosure by maintaining physical, electronic and procedural safeguards.

Information Use and Disclosure

We may share information we have about you to give you superior service and to make a wider range of products available to you. We may share this information in the following ways:

With Affiliates of HomeIT Lending

The Fair Credit Reporting Act gives you the opportunity to limit the sharing of “non- experience information” among affiliates of HomeIT Lending. “Non-experience information” includes information that is used, expected to be used, or collected for the purpose of establishing your eligibility for consumer credit, insurance or deposit accounts, and is not related solely to your transactions or other experiences with us, including information:

• From your applications, such as your income or marital status • From a credit report, such as your credit history

Within the HomeIT Lending family of companies, we may share the customer information we collect with:

• Affiliate companies providing financial and other services, such as mortgage lenders, insurance agencies, home security companies, lawn care and pest control companies and residential homebuilders

If you prefer that we not share non-experience information about you with an affiliate of HomeIT Lending, you may opt out, that is, you may direct us not to share this information, by calling us toll-free at (844) 700-2121.

With Third Party Service Providers, Joint Marketers and As Otherwise Permitted by Law

We may work with non-affiliated companies or organizations to provide services on our behalf in connection with the servicing of your account or to provide you with opportunities to buy products or services offered by us or jointly with other financial institutions.

• Companies with whom we have joint marketing agreements

For your protection, we require that these companies keep all personal information secure and confidential.

We may disclose some or all of the information that we collect as permitted by law. For example, we may share personal information:

Cookies and Other Technical Information.

We may send “cookies” to your computer primarily to enhance your online experience. “Cookies” are files that can identify you as a unique customer and store your personal preferences as well as technical information (including click through and click stream data). Cookies can either be permanent (i.e., they remain on your computer until you delete them) or temporary (i.e., they last only until you close your browser). We may also use tracking systems such as “Web beacons,” which monitor your use of our Web sites. Tracking systems (Web beacons or Web bugs) are small strings of code that provide a method for delivering a graphic image on a Web page for the purpose of transferring data, such as the IP (Internet Protocol) address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the Web beacon appears, the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of the page on which the Web beacon appears, the time the page containing the Web beacon was viewed, the types of browser that fetched the Web beacon and the identification number of any cookie on the computer previously placed by that server. When corresponding with you via HTML capable e-mail, Web beacons let us know whether you received and opened our e-mail.

On their own, cookies or Web beacons do not contain or reveal any personally identifiable information. However, if you choose to furnish one of our Web sites with personally identifiable information, this information can be linked to the data stored in the cookies/Web beacons.

Your ongoing use of our Web sites constitutes your acceptance of this Privacy Policy, and you specifically agree to our described use of cookies and Web beacons. You may adjust your browser to reject cookies from us or from any other site. Additionally, by setting your Web browser to display HTML e-mails as text only, you may be able to prevent the use of some Web beacons. Please consult the “Help” section of your browser for more information. However, certain areas of our Web sites can only be accessed in conjunction with cookies or similar devices and you should be aware that disabling cookies or similar devices might prevent you from accessing some of our content.

Secure Email

A message for all HomeIT Lending clients and business partners: as part of the ongoing efforts of HomeIT Lending to strengthen security and to protect sensitive information, we have a Secure Email system. It provides a convenient method for you to receive and reply to secure emails, while continuing to ensure the integrity of the information interchange.

Will I have to install new software or register for the new system?

No new software is required on your system. The first time you use the new secure email system, you will be asked to create a password. You will also select a password recovery question / answer that will allow you to change your password. There are no other registration requirements.

How will I receive secure email messages from HomeIT Lending

Secure email messages (and any attached files) from HomeIT Lending will be encrypted before they are sent, and then delivered directly to your inbox. When you open the message you will be prompted to enter your password, which will decrypt the message (and any attached files). You can then save, reply to, or forward the message and files.

Are there reply capabilities? Can I initiate a secure email to a HomeIT Lending representative?

You can respond to HomeIT Lending secure emails with secure replies, and there is also a method for initiating secure email exchanges with HomeIT Lending representatives.
