The Company has a strong commitment to providing information tailored to your individual wants and needs, while providing excellent service to all of our visitors and customers, including respecting their concerns about privacy. Accordingly, the Website is compliant with the Online Privacy Alliance (OPA) guidelines. We understand that you may have questions about whether and how this Website collects and uses information. This Statement contains numerous general and technical details about the steps we take to respect your privacy concerns.

Visitors to Our Website

The Website does not collect personally identifying information from your computer when you browse this Website and request pages from our servers. This means that, unless you specifically and knowingly provide us with personally identifiable information, we will not know your name, your email address, or any other personally identifiable information. Information is collected through the completion of on-line forms, such as names, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, user names, passwords, or other personal information. We do collect aggregate information such as pages visited, which is necessary for us to be sure that our Website functions correctly.

Cookies

This Website uses “cookie” technology. “Cookies” are encrypted strings of text that a Web Website stores on a user's computer. This Website requires the use of a cookie to keep information you enter on multiple pages together. Some cookies are “session” cookies that expire when you close your browser. We also use “persistent” cookies to measure usage of various pages on our Website and to help us make our information more pertinent to your needs and easy for you to access. These persistent cookies are our cookies and will remain on your computer unless deleted by you. We do not use cookies to ascertain any personally identifiable information about you apart from what you voluntarily provide us in your dealings with us. You may set your browser to block cookies (consult the instructions for your particular browser on how to do this); although doing so may adversely affect your ability to perform certain transactions, use certain functionality, and access certain content on our Website.

We may collect nonpublic personal information about you from the following sources:

• Information we receive from you, such as on applications or other forms.
• Information about your transactions we secure from our files, or from our affiliates or others.
• Information we receive from a consumer reporting agency.
• Information we receive from others involved in your transaction, such as real estate agents, brokers, loan officers, loan sale advisors or lenders.

Unless it is specifically stated otherwise in an amended Privacy Policy Notice, no additional nonpublic personal information about you will be collected.

Use

The Website generally uses information to fulfill requests for services (including qualification to make bids), to market/promote the Website, and to contact you.

We also use this information to better understand how visitors use our Website and how we can enhance your experience, its contents and functionality to meet your needs and personal interests. We will also log the webpage visitors were on before visiting us, and use that data to formulate statistical models.

On occasion, we may make information collected on the Website available to subsidiaries and affiliated companies that are part of the REDC group of companies. In addition, if you download information on properties or notes or place a bid on a particular property or note, the seller and seller’s affiliates and representatives are given access to your information.  We may also share or sell, as allowed by law, information to other companies who we believe may have products and services of interest to you. If you would like to opt-out of receiving information from us or these other sources please follow the “Opt-out” instructions below.

We may also share this information about our visitors, customers or former customers to the following types of nonqualified companies that perform marketing services on our behalf or with whom we have joint marketing agreements:

• Financial service providers such as companies engaged in banking, mortgage lending, consumer finance, securities and insurance.
• Non-financial companies such as envelope stuffers and other fulfillment service providers.

Law Enforcement

If required by law, we may provide any and all information we have about you to law enforcement or other government agencies, pursuant to a subpoena, warrant, or other order by a court of competent jurisdiction. In all cases, we will require written documentation of the request, proof of the identity of the law enforcement official making the request, and we will take steps to authenticate the validity of the request. Any law enforcement or government agency request submitted with less than a court-issued order will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis according to the need and urgency, as well as the particular law enforcement agency making the request.

Links

The Website may contain links to other Websites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of other Websites to which we link. You should also be aware that, when you voluntarily disclose personal information in public forums, such information may be collected by others and may result in receiving unsolicited messages. We strongly encourage you to be aware that when you leave our Website you should read the privacy statements of each and every Website that collects personally identifiable information.

Security

We treat the information you provide to us as confidential information; it is, accordingly, subject to our Company's security procedures and policies regarding protection and use of confidential information. When we ask you for sensitive data, it is transferred over a Secured Sockets Layer (SSL) line, provided you are using a SSL enabled browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. We also use SSL on other select pages where you would enter personally identifiable information. This ensures that your information is encrypted as it travels over the Internet. This secure mode is enabled before any such information is transmitted from your computer. You will know you are in secure mode when the padlock or key icon in the lower right-hand or left-hand corner of the computer screen appears in the locked position. In addition, when accessing a secure server, the first characters of the Website address will change from "http" to "https."

After information reaches the Website, it is stored on a secure server that resides behind firewalls designed to block unauthorized access from outside of the Website. If you are interested in learning more about our security measures please contact us at the address above.

Data Quality, Access, and Updating Personal Information

The Website will take reasonable steps to ensure that the information and data is complete, accurate, and timely for the desired purposes. If your personally identifiable information changes (such as phone number), is inaccurate, or if you no longer desire the services, you should contact the Company to correct or update the information.

Choice/ Opt-out

From time to time, we may send you e-mail, e-mail newsletters, or Website news updates alerting you to new features, products, promotions, or services pertaining to the Website. If you no longer wish to receive materials from us may opt-out of receiving these communications by choosing a "do not contact" option or by contacting us at the address above. We will gladly comply with all requests for removal.

Opt Out Procedure: In compliance with the Can-Spam Act of 2003, on each email transmitted by the Website, there are instructions for opting out of receiving future emails. Such instructions may include, without limitation: (a) clicking a link on the email which sends a reply to the sender’s server instructing the server of the sender’s desire to opt out of future emails, or (b) instructions for mailing a written request to be removed from future emails. All requests to opt out of future emails will be respected.
