We recognize and respect the privacy expectations of today’s
consumers and the requirements of applicable federal and state
privacy laws. We believe that making you aware of how we use
your nonpublic personal information (“Personal

the basis for a relationship of trust between us and the public
that we
serve. This Privacy Statement provides that explanation. We
reserve the right to change this Privacy Statement from time
to
time consistent with applicable privacy laws.
In the course of a business, we may
collect Personal Information about you from the following
sources:
- From applications or other forms
we receive from you or you r authorized representative;
- From your transactions with, or
from the services being performed by, us, our affiliates
or others;
- From our internet web sites;
- From the public records maintained
by governmental entities that we either obtain directly
from those entities, or from
our affiliates or others; and
- From consumer or other reporting
agencies.
Our Policies Regarding the Protection
of the Confidentiality and Security of Your Personal Information
We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards
to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access
or
intrusion. We limit access to the Personal Information only
to those employees who need such access in connection with
providing products or services to you or for other legitimate
business purposes.
Our Policies and Practices Regarding
the Sharing of Your Personal Information

providers who provide services or perform marketing or other
functions on our
behalf; and

joint marketing agreements for products or services that
we believe you may find of

In addition, we will disclose you Personal
Information when you direct or give us permission, when we
are required by law
to do so, or when we suspect fraudulent or criminal activities.
We also may disclose you Personal Information when
otherwise permitted by applicable privacy laws such as, for
example, when disclosure is needed to enforce our rights arising
out of any agreement, transaction or relationship with you.
One of the important responsibilities
of some of our affiliated companies is to record documents
in the public domain. Such
documents may contain your Personal Information.

Certain states afford you the right to access your Personal

the
