Hometown Lenders, Inc. Online Privacy Policy
If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA). Please click here to read about your CCPA rights.
Privacy and security are two cornerstones of doing business over the Internet. Hometown Lenders, Inc. is dedicated to safeguarding the personal information you give us.
The goal of this privacy statement is to disclose Hometown’s data protection practices in relation to personal information collected at Hometown’s Internet websites. Please note that this in some cases Hometown’s websites may contain links to other sites and Hometown is not responsible for the privacy practices of such sites. In the context of this privacy statement, “personal information” includes name, title, business address, telephone number, and e-mail of an employee of an organization. Hometown can also hold customer information pertaining to “mortgage holders,” “prospects,” and “partners.” This information can contain the following information – borrower name, co-borrower name, date of birth for borrower and co-borrower, home mailing address, work mailing address, property address, home phone number, e-mail address, company name, company address, company URL, lender license number, and credit card information at the time of an order.
Safeguarding your personal information is good business — it helps foster confidence, goodwill and stronger relationships with you, our customers. If, at any time, you have questions or concerns about our privacy practices, please feel free to call us at 888-202-1364, or email us at contact@htlenders.com.
Hometown may employ other companies or individuals, including Volly for technology and marketing automation services, who may have access to personal information needed to perform functions on our behalf, but who will not use this information for other purposes; and in the unlikely event that Hometown, or substantially all of its assets are acquired, subscriber information will be one of the transferred assets.
Consent. We will obtain your consent for the collection, use or disclosure of personally identifiable information, except under the following circumstances:
We may release personal information when we believe it is appropriate to comply with law, or protect the rights, property, or safety of others;
Limiting Collection. The personal information we collect will be limited to what is necessary for the business purposes identified unless you have otherwise consented, or when required by law. We will not collect personal information indiscriminately.
Our Web servers, as configured and maintained by Volly, collect and track IP addresses and resolve them to a domain name, but we do not collect personally identifiable information unless we explicitly ask you to provide it. Some pages in our Web sites ask you to provide personal information to order a product or service. When this information is requested, you will be asked to complete a form and return it to us. The type of information we ask you to provide will vary according to the product or service that you request. The choice to share this information is always yours, but if you choose to withhold it, you will not be able to access certain resources. In addition, we sometimes collect non-identifiable information from visits to our websites to help us provide better customer service. For example, we make it possible for users to define usage preferences (“remember settings'') to speed requests such as profile information in future visits. For clients that do not want this functionality, we make it inoperable.
Accuracy. Each person who submits personal information is required to verify the accuracy of all information provided to us at the time of submission. You may also contact us to change this information at the address indicated below.
Openness. We will endeavor to inform customers, partners and employees about the policies and practices that apply to the management of their personal information.
Individual Access. On request and to the extent reasonably possible, we will tell you if we have any personal information about you and how it is used. We will endeavor to correct or amend any personal information if its accuracy and completeness is challenged and found deficient.
Handling Inquiries and Suggestions. If you require any further information or if you have any questions or concerns about our privacy or security policies and procedures, please contact us at: contact@htlenders.com
Use of Cookies. Parts of our websites use “session cookies” for the purpose of authenticating the user. This cookie holds only the information that is uniquely generated when the user logs on to the site and persists only as long as the user’s browser is open. Then, upon the user’s departure from the site and closure of their Web browser, the information in the session cookie is removed from memory. This enables better user security and privacy. Cookies may also be used to provide added convenience to users by “remembering” non-identifiable information to streamline services and preserve user preferences between sessions. If you decline to receive cookies through the options provided by your browser, certain services may not be available at the site.
