Privacy Notice
WE ARE COMMITTED TO SAFEGUARDING CUSTOMER INFORMATION In order to better serve your needs now and in the future, we may ask you to provide us with certain information. We understand that you may be concerned about what we will do with such information – particularly any personal or financial information. We agree that you have a right to know how we will utilize the personal information you provide to us. Therefore, we have adopted this Privacy Policy to govern the use and handling of your personal information.
APPLICABILITY
This Privacy Policy governs our use of the information which you provide to us. It does not govern the way we may use information we have obtained from any other source, such as information obtained from a public record or from another person or entity. Cloud Title Solutions and the Title Insurance Underwriter have also adopted broader guidelines that govern our use of personal information regardless of its source.
TYPES OF INFORMATION
Depending upon which of our services you are utilizing, the types of nonpublic personal information that we may collect include: Information we receive from you on applications, forms and in other communications to us, whether in writing, in person, by telephone or any other means; Information about your transactions with us, our affiliated companies, or others; and Information we receive from a consumer reporting agency.
USE OF INFORMATION
We request information from you for our own legitimate business purposes and not for the benefit of any nonaffiliated party. Therefore, we will not release your information to nonaffiliated parties except:
(1) as necessary for us to provide the product or service you have requested of us; or
(2) as permitted by law. We may, however, store such information indefinitely, including the period after which any customer relationship has ceased.
Such information may be used for any internal purpose, such as quality control efforts or customer analysis. We may also provide all the types of nonpublic personal information listed above to one or more of our affiliated companies. Such affiliated companies include financial service providers, such as underwriters, title insurers, property and casualty insurers, and trust and investment advisory
companies, or companies involved in real estate services, such as appraisal companies, home warranty companies, and escrow companies.
Furthermore, we may also provide all the information we collect, as described above, to companies that perform marketing services on our behalf, on behalf of our affiliated companies, or to other financial institutions with which we or our affiliated companies have joint marketing agreements.
FORMER CUSTOMERS
Even if you are no longer our customer, our Privacy Policy will continue to apply to you.
CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECURITY
We will use our best efforts to ensure that no unauthorized parties have access to any of your information. We restrict access to nonpublic personal information about you to those individuals and entities who need to know that information to provide products or services to you. We will use our best efforts to train and oversee our employees and agents to ensure that your information will be handled responsibly and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We currently maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal regulations to guard your nonpublic personal information.
TEXT MESSAGING / SMS MESSAGING
We will use SMS text messaging only with customer’s permission and during a transaction cycle for the purpose of providing updates and answering questions sent to us via text messaging. We will not share your information and we will not use text messaging in our marketing campaigns. We will not engage in any unsolicited text messaging campaigns of any kind. If you ever receive a text message from us you can opt out permanently by replying STOP to any message received.
SMS Consent or phone numbers are not shared for the purpose of SMS with third parties or affiliates.
ACCESS TO PERSONAL INFORMATION/REQUESTS FOR CORRECTION, AMENDMENT, OR DELETION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
As required by applicable law, we will afford you the right to access your Personal Information, under certain circumstances to find out who your Personal Information has been disclosed to, and request correction or deletion of your Personal Information. However, Cloud Title Solution’s current policy is to maintain customers’ Personal Information for no less than your state’s required record retention requirements for the purpose of handling future coverage claims.
For your protection, all requests made under this section must be in writing and must include your notarized signature to establish your identity. Where permitted by law, we may charge a reasonable fee to cover the costs incurred in responding to such requests.
