Privacy Policy Statement
We Respect your Privacy
Mr Mortgage is a mortgage information provider and referrer. We realize that your privacy is important to you and as such we respect your view on privacy and work hard to safeguard the security of your personal information. We also serve contextual ads from Third Parties, including Google, to provide a broader access to relevant information and mortgage and related products, as well as other areas of interest that you may have unrelated to mortgages[see the Important Additional information below].
Personal Information; What is it?
Personal information is any information such as your name, address, or
telephone number that may identify you, or by which your identity can be
reasonably determined.
Other information we need to collect to provide our service includes credit and
finance information.
Your Personal Information is never sold to Third Parties.
Mr Mortgage does not sell any personally-identifiable information or lists or any other information collected by applications, telephone communications, fax, mail, e-mail or online on our web sites for random purposes.
Your right to stay anonymous.
You always have a right not to give personal information, as stated in the
Privacy Act 1988 as amended.
However, because of the nature of the lending process, loans can only be
generally granted on the basis of the security offered and the character and
ability to repay of the persons applying for a loan. For this reason our service
is unworkable without receiving actual personal, credit and finance information
about yourself. We therefore destroy any application that does contain accurate
personal information.
Security
We and our ISP use up to date techniques to ensure your information is secure, including encryption, firewalls and other technology and security procedures to help protect the accuracy and security of your personal information and prevent unauthorized access or improper use.
How Mr Mortgage Collects you Information.
We will only collect information relevant to our business relationship
with you. The information we collect from you may include contact details,
personal details, financial information, and information about your use of
finance and other associated products and services including financial services
and risk management. This is done solely for the aim and purpose of best meeting
your particular needs.
We collect information from by phone, mail, e-mail as well as online by asking
you for it. For example, when you apply for a loan, special offer or other
promotion. A customer's name, address (postal and e-mail) and telephone number
are the most important pieces of information, but we normally request other
information, based on, for example, the service's) being ordered or promoted.
Another way we collect information online and through completed forms through
our affiliate program partners who may provide us information they already
obtained from you. For example when you are on a partner's site and click on a
Mr Mortgage text link, button or banner that takes you to an Advestment website
site, information that the partner has received from you already may be passed
to Advestment or one of it affiliated businesses.
