use your information whether or not you qualify for a transaction with them, we
recommend that you contact them directly for more information about their
specific privacy policies.
Sharing information with third parties. Following is an example of how
eLoan Global, Inc may act as an agent for our participating Lenders. A Lender may
instruct us to share information with an appraiser to prepare an appraisal of
the property to be mortgaged, with a flood certification provider to determine
whether the property lies in a flood plain, or with a prospective secondary
market purchaser of the mortgage loan the lender may make. In such situations,
we will be acting on behalf of the Lender, under the authority of the Lender's
privacy policy, a copy of which you will receive from the Lender. All of the
information-sharing we do as agent for the Lender would be permissible under
applicable federal law for the Lender to do directly.
Altering Information You Submit Through a eLoan Global, Inc Web Site.

law, we cannot delete that information. We store all of the information you
might provide securely. You can visit our Security section to learn more about
how we do this. If we make a change to our Privacy Policy in the future that
will affect how we treat your information, we will notify you of the change. In
that case, the form the notice will take and your ability to opt out of the new
policy will be determined by applicable laws and we will include that
information in our notification. If the change impacts how we use your
information, we will notify you even if you have requested that we not contact
you.
