Your privacy is fundamental to our service. We protect your data and never sell your information.

Last updated: January 15, 2024

TL;DR

We built Easy.Mortgage to protect borrowers from spam and lead selling — and that includes how we handle your data.

  • No advertising cookies — only essential ones for site functionality
  • Only share info when you click "Connect" with a loan officer
  • CCPA + GLBA compliant with bank-grade security
  • Real humans handle privacy requests, not bots

📌 What We Collect

Basic info you give us (like name, email, loan needs) and activity on our site.

🚫 What We Don't Do

We never sell your data. Ever. No spam. No shady lead reselling. No tracking cookies.

🔐 How We Protect It

Bank-grade encryption and strict controls. Your info stays yours.

✅ Your Rights

You're in control. Opt-out anytime. We honor CCPA, GLBA, and other privacy laws.

Introduction

At Easy.Mortgage, we're on a mission to protect borrowers from the predatory practices that plague the mortgage industry. That mission extends to how we handle your personal information.

If you ever have privacy concerns, you'll talk to a real person — not a robot. We're committed to transparency, and this policy explains exactly how we collect, use, and protect your data.

Our Core Privacy Principles:

  • • Your data is yours, not ours to sell
  • • Transparency over legal jargon
  • • Bank-grade security, always
  • • You control your information

Here's What We Collect — and Why

We only collect what we actually need to match you with great loan officers and provide our service. No fishing expeditions, no data hoarding.

When (and Why) We Share Info

The short answer: Almost never. And when we do, it's always with your explicit permission or for your protection.

✅ With Your Explicit Permission

We only share your information with loan officers when you choose to connect with them through our platform. You click "Connect" or "Get Matched" — that's your consent.

What they get: Your name, contact info, and loan preferences. What they don't get: Your browsing history, quiz answers about other lenders, or any sensitive financial data.

⚖️ Legal Requirements (Extremely Rare)

Only when required by law, court order, or to protect users from fraud. This has never happened, but we're legally required to mention it.

❌ We NEVER Share With

• Advertisers or marketing companies

• Data brokers or lead aggregators

• Social media platforms for advertising

• Credit reporting agencies (unless you apply for a loan)

• Anyone else, for any reason, ever

Your data is not a revenue stream for us. Our business model is connecting you with quality loan officers — not selling your information.

SMS Opt-in Data Protection

We will not share your opt-in to an SMS campaign with any third party for purposes unrelated to providing you with the services of that campaign. We may share your Personal Data, including your SMS opt-in or consent status, with third parties that help us provide our messaging services, including but not limited to platform providers, phone companies, and any other vendors who assist us in the delivery of text messages.

We may send you text messages for:

  • • Phone number verification during registration
  • • Account security and authentication

🏛️

GLBA Notices

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) requires financial service providers to explain how we protect your private information.

Financial Information Protection

We safeguard all nonpublic personal information according to federal standards, including:

  • • Physical safeguards (secure facilities and equipment)
  • • Electronic safeguards (encryption and access controls)
  • • Procedural safeguards (employee training and monitoring)

Information Sharing Limitations

We do not share nonpublic personal information with non-affiliated third parties, except:

  • • With your explicit consent (like connecting you to loan officers)
  • • As required by law or regulation
  • • With service providers under strict confidentiality agreements

Opt-Out Rights

Because we don't share your information with non-affiliated third parties for marketing purposes, there's no opt-out required under GLBA. However, you can always opt out of our own marketing communications.
