Summary

We do not sell or share personally identifiable information (PII) of consumers, applicants or borrowers for marketing purposes, and we will not do so in the future unless we first ask for and obtain your verifiable consent. We do not collect any PII of children or teenagers because our only business is HECM lending, and HECM borrowers are all older than 62 years of age. We do acquire PII of potential HECM borrowers from consumer data resellers, credit reporting agencies, government agencies, public records, and other sources, and we use that information to market HECM loans to potential borrowers, but we promptly honor do-not-contact requests. We take appropriate measures to help protect PII in our control from misuse or unauthorized access.

Overview

This Privacy Policy applies to all PII and other personal information of potential or actual HECM borrowers obtained by Traditional Mortgage Acceptance Corporation, d/b/a GoodLife Home Loans® (“us” or “GoodLife”), from all sources and in all media. This Privacy Policy explains:

• what categories of information we collect and from where;
• how we use the information;
• with whom we may share the information;
• what choices you have about our collection, use and disclosure of the information;
• what security procedures are in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of information under our control; and
• how you can correct any inaccuracies in the information.

PII We Collect Directly from You

If you contact us, through our Site or by phone or other means, we will collect your PII including your name, mailing address, email address, phone number and age. If you ask us to verify your eligibility for a HECM loan from GoodLife, we will collect and store additional PII including your social security number, income, account balances and payment history, credit history, credit scores and related financial information. We will also collect and store PII provided to us about any potential co-borrowers.

PII We Collect Indirectly

We obtain PII of potential HECM borrowers from third parties such as consumer data resellers, credit reporting agencies, government agencies, public records and other sources. If we have contacted you as the result of our obtaining your PII indirectly, and you do not want to be contacted by GoodLife, we will promptly honor your do-not-contact request. If you submit a complete application for a GoodLife HECM loan, we will obtain your credit report from one or more credit reporting agencies to aid us in determining your eligibility for the loan.

Other Information We Collect (Not PII)

Our Site use server logs to collect information that is not by itself personally identifiable (such as browser type, ISP, IP address, referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks) from all visitors to the Site. Our Site also uses “cookies” to collect information about how the Site is used. Information gathered through cookies may include the pages viewed and the amount of time spent at the Site. Our Site use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. The session ID cookie terminates once you close the browser. For the persistent cookie, a text file is stored on your computer. Persistent cookies can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions. If you allow the persistent cookie, our Site can recognize your computer and your browser can remember your login information for our Site. If you reject the cookie, your user experience may be limited. We may use web beacons and similar technologies to track your use of our Site. Web beacons (also known as clear gifs, pixel tags or web bugs) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of web users or to access cookies. We also may include web beacons in email messages or newsletters to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon. We use information that is not by itself personally identifiable to improve our Site, reconstruct activity from a session or by a user, and for troubleshooting. Our Site does not recognize browser do-not-track settings. If we combine your PII with information that is not by itself personally identifiable, we will treat the combined result as PII.

Maintenance: Although we promptly honor do not contact requests, we can not offer you an unqualified right to delete your PII held by us.
