We Are Committed to Safeguarding Customer Information
In order to better serve your needs now and in the future, we may ask you to provide
us with certain information. We understand that you may be concerned about what
we will do with such information – particularly any personal or financial information.
We agree that you have a right to know how we will utilize the personal information
you provide to us. Therefore, together with our subsidiaries we have adopted this
Privacy Policy to govern the use and handling of your personal information.
Applicability
This Privacy Policy governs our use of the information which you provide to us.
It does not govern the manner in which we may use information we have obtained from
any other source, such as information obtained from a public record or from another
person or entity. CoreLogic has also adopted broader guidelines that govern our
use of personal information regardless of its source. CoreLogic calls these guidelines
its Fair Information Values.
Types of Information
Depending upon which of our services you are utilizing, the types of nonpublic personal
information that we may collect include:
- Information we receive from you on applications, forms and in other communications
to us, whether in writing, in person, by telephone or any other means;
- Information about your transactions with us, our affiliated companies, or others;
and
- Information we receive from a consumer reporting agency.
Use of Information
We request information from you for our own legitimate business purposes and not
for the benefit of any nonaffiliated party. Therefore, we will not release your
information to nonaffiliated parties except: (1) as necessary for us to provide
the product or service you have requested of us; or (2) as permitted by law. We
may, however, store such information indefinitely, including the period after which
any customer relationship has ceased. Such information may be used for any internal
purpose, such as quality control efforts or customer analysis. We may also provide
all of the types of nonpublic personal information listed above to one or more of
our affiliated companies. Such affiliated companies include financial service providers,
such as title insurers, property and casualty insurers, and trust and investment
advisory companies, or companies involved in real estate services, such as appraisal
companies, home warranty companies, and escrow companies. Furthermore, we may also
provide all the information we collect, as described above, to companies that perform
marketing services on our behalf, on behalf of our affiliated companies, or to other
financial institutions with whom we or our affiliated companies have joint marketing
agreements.
Former Customers
Even if you are no longer our customer, our Privacy Policy will continue to apply
to you.
Confidentiality and Security
We will use our best efforts to ensure that no unauthorized parties have access
to any of your information. We restrict access to nonpublic personal information
about you to those individuals and entities who need to know that information to
provide products or services to you. We will use our best efforts to train and oversee
our employees and agents to ensure that your information will be handled responsibly
and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and CoreLogic’s
Fair Information Values. We currently maintain physical, electronic, and
procedural safeguards that comply with federal regulations to guard your nonpublic
personal information.
Information Obtained Through Our Web Site
The CoreLogic is sensitive to privacy issues on the Internet. We believe it is important
you know how we treat the information about you we receive on the Internet.
In general, you can visit CoreLogic or its affiliates Web sites on the World Wide
Web without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself.
Our Web servers collect the domain names, not the e-mail addresses, of visitors.
This information is aggregated to measure the number of visits, average time spent
on the site, pages viewed and similar information. CoreLogic uses this information
to measure the use of our site and to develop ideas to improve the content of our

There are times, however, when we may need information from you, such as your name
and email address. When information is needed, we will use our best efforts to let
you know at the time of collection how we will use the personal information. Usually,
the personal information we collect is used only by us to respond to your inquiry,
process an order or allow you to access specific account/profile information. If
you choose to share any personal information with us, we will only use it in accordance
with the policies outlined above.
Business Relationships
The CoreLogic's site and its affiliates' sites may contain links to other Web sites.
While we try to link only to sites that share our high standards and respect for
privacy, we are not responsible for the content or the privacy practices employed
by other sites.

identifying the source of the erroneous data so that the consumer can secure the
required corrections.
