We follow the strictest privacy guidelines to ensure that the information you provide to us remains confidential at all times. We take extreme precautions to ensure the safety of your personal information and data.
Our goal is to gather just enough information to process a home loan, render an approval decision, or market our products - and we collect most of this information from consumers through our call center, Web site, or as part of our application process. Occasionally we gather additional necessary information from public records, credit repositories, or approved business affiliates and partners.
We retain all information in-house except when required to share it with our partners as a necessary function of the lending process. Such partners include title and escrow companies, appraisal services, and to a limited extent, our business affiliates and partners. Freedom Mortgage Corporation does not sell or share customer information to unaffiliated parties.
The security of your personal information is our first priority at Freedom Mortgage Corporation. We have taken extraordinary measures to make sure that only authorized people see the information you send to us.
Your financial information is not kept on our web server, but on a different computer that is separated from the Internet. Even in the unlikely event that our web site is "hacked", your data will still remain securely out of reach.
Freedom Mortgage Corporation reserves the right to change, modify, add or remove portions of this Privacy Statement at any time, but will alert you that changes have been made by indicating on the Privacy Statement the date it was last updated.
