Privacy Statement |
| |
Appraisers, along with all providers of personal financial services, are now required by federal law to inform their clients of the policies of the firm with regard to the privacy of client nonpublic personal information. As professionals, we understand that your privacy is very important to you and are pleased to provide you with this information. We are committed to protecting our clients' personal and financial information. This privacy statement addresses what nonpublic personal information we collect, what we do with it, and how we protect it.
Types of nonpublic personal information we collect:
In the course of performing appraisals, we may collect what is known as "nonpublic personal information" about you. This information is used to facilitate the services that we provide to you and may include the information provided to use by you directly or received by us from others with your authorization.
We may collect and maintain several types of personal information in the course of providing you with appraisal service, such as: |
| |
*Information we receive from you on applications, letters of engagement, forms found on our website, correspondence, or converstaions, including, but not limited to, your name, address, phone number, social security number, date of birth, bank records, salary information the income and expenses associated with the subject property, the sale price of the subject property, and the details of any financing on the subject property.
*Information about your transaction with us, our affiliates or others, including, but not limited to, payments history, parties to transactions and other financial information.
*Information we receive from a consumer reporting agency such as a credit history. |
| |
What information we may disclose:
We may disclose the nonpublic personal information about you described above, primarily to provide you with the appraisal services you seek from us. We do not disclose nonpublic personal information about clients or former clients except as required or permitted by law.
Parties to whom we disclose information:
Unless you tell us not to, we may disclose nonpublic personal information about you to the following types of third parties: |
| |
*Financial service providers, such as banks and lending institutions.
*Non-financial companies |
In addition there may be necessary disclosures. By way of example, a necessary disclosure would be to our employees, and in certain situations, to unrelated third party consultants who need to know that information to assist us in providing appraisal services to you. All of our employees and any third party consultants we employ are informed that any information they see as part of an appraisal assignment is to be maintained in strict confidence within the firm.
A disclosure required by law would be a disclosure by us that is ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction with regard to legal action.
Confidentiality & Security:
We will retain records relating to professional services that we have provided to you for a reasonable time so that we are better able to assist you with your needs. In order to protect your nonpublic personal information from unauthorized access by third parties, we maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with our professional standards to insure the security and integrity of your information. Please feel free to call us at any time if you have any questions about the confidentiality of the information that you provide to us.
Opt Out Notice:
You may limit information shared about you. If you prefer that we not disclose nonpublic personal information about you to third parties, you may opt out of those disclosures. That is, you may direct us not to make those disclosures (other than those permitted by law).
