Privacy Policy
This policy is applicable to all activities associated with Special Asset Management II LLC (SAM), including its web sites. SAM respects the privacy of all users of its products and services. The overview provided below explains how information is collected, utilized and protected against intrusions and undesired commercial uses.
General Informational Statements
All information provided by financial institutions stays with SAM. We do not utilize personal information for any purposes other than those outlined on the site. Further, the data provided are never sold to third parties. Information furnished by financial institution members is not accessible by other (financial institution) members, or by real estate professionals who register with SAM for inclusion on the REO Professional Database. Other than outreach efforts initiated by members with Database registrants, all contacts deriving from your participation with SAM will be made through SAM. Real estate experts who register on SAM's Database do so for the purpose of generating business from financial institutions on their property transactions. Database information is made accessible to member financial institutions. Registered REO professionals can expect to be contacted directly by financial institutions for the services identified in their profiles.
Do We Collect Personally Identifiable Information About You?
We only collect personally identifiable information about you when you specifically and knowingly provide such information voluntarily. For example, we may gather personally identifiable information about you (such as name, street address, telephone numbers, e-mail address, etc.) during the following interactions:
How Is Personally Identifiable Information Used?
We primarily use personally identifiable information to provide a wide array of products and services to you, or to enhance your experience with SAM.
We may employ independent contractors, vendors and suppliers to provide specific services and products related to SAM, such as providing credit card processing and fraud screening, order fulfillment and shipment, mailing of SAM publications and other materials, and developing applications for our sites. These outside contractors may sometimes have limited access to information collected from you, including your personally identifiable information, in the course of providing products or services to us. Access to your personally identifiable information by these contractors is limited to the information reasonably necessary in order for the contractors to perform their limited function for us. We also require that these contractors (i) protect the privacy of your personally identifiable information consistent with this policy, and (ii) not use or disclose your personally identifiable information for any purpose other than providing us with products or services for which we contracted.
We will disclose personally identifiable information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it. We reserve the right to transfer information to a third party in the event of a sale, merger or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of SAM, provided that the third party agrees to adhere to the terms of this privacy policy. We will notify users of any such transfer through notice on our web sites and through e-mail.
Is My Information Secure?
We want your information (including personally identifiable information) to remain as secure as possible. We use industry standard security measures to protect your information, including, but not limited to, physical security and restricted access to information. With regard to on-line security, we strive to provide secure transmission of your information from your computer to our servers through industry standard techniques. To help ensure the integrity and privacy of the personally identifiable information you provide to us via the Internet in connection with credit card transactions, we generally use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology in transmitting such personally identifiable information over the Internet to our servers. We secure the personally identifiable information you provide on servers located in controlled environments that adopt commercially reasonable security measures.
Only employees or contractors who need access to your information to perform a specific task or function are granted access to such information.
Will SAM Change This Privacy Policy?
This policy was revised July 2010. We reserve the right to change the policy at any time. Changes in the Privacy Policy will be made known to SAM's customers, contractors, and all interested parties by e-mail and postings on our web sites. Your continued use of SAM's services, including but not limited to the web sites, following the posting of changes to this policy will indicate your acceptance of those Privacy Policy changes.
