Types of Information We Collect
It collects both “personally identifiable information” and “non-personally identifiable information” from or about users of its web sites.
Personally Identifiable Information
It collects several types of information that may identify a particular individual (“personally identifiable information”). We collect personally identifiable information when you provide it to us through your use of the site, such as by completing one or more stages of an application form to apply for a loan from a lender participating in our lender network (“participating lenders”) or by sending questions to us via the web site. The types of personally identifiable information we collect include: name, physical address, telephone number, social security number, email address, date of birth, driver’s license number and state, information about home ownership, citizenship status, employment information, active military information, amount and frequency of pay checks, and information about your banking account.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
Non-personally identifiable information is anonymous information that cannot be associated with a specific individual. The types of non-personally identifiable information that we collect (either directly, through the use of “cookies,” or through the use of a third party tracking system) include: the IP address of the computer making the request; your browser type and language; access times; information about areas of the site visited by users of the site; information about the links that users may select to visit on the site. IP addresses are not usually associated with your personal computer, but with a portal through which you accessed the Internet. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information. A “cookie” is a piece of information a web site sends to your computer while you are viewing the web site to remember who you are without personally identifying you.
