PRIVACY POLICY
The following policy applies to MGC Mortgage, Inc. and discloses how MGC Mortgage, Inc. may collect from you online when you visit MGCMortgage.com.
MGC Mortgage Inc. is committed to protecting the privacy and security of its online visitors. When you visit our website to view any pages, read product information, or use any tools, you do so without telling us who you are and without revealing any personal information. While we do not collect identifying information about visitors to our site, we do use standard software that tracks the activity on our site. This allows us to better understand how many people use our site and which pages and features are most popular. The information we collect and store is limited to: the name of your Internet Service Provider, the website that referred you to us (if any), the date and time the pages were accessed, and the page or pages you requested. There are instances where you may elect to provide us with personal information. If you fill out one of our feedback or request forms or send us e-mail, you are transmitting the information that appears in the form or the body of the message. This will typically include information like your name, mailing address, e-mail address, the kind of request you are making, and any other information necessary to fulfill your request. This is always your option; this information cannot be collected unless you specifically elect to send it to us. This information is used internally only for the purpose of fulfilling the request or for contacting you directly. MGC Mortgage, Inc. will not sell or provide any personal information to affiliated and non-affiliated third parties for solicitation purposes, but may provide certain information as required by law or as needed for account maintenance.
We carefully select and monitor the outside companies we hire to perform services for us, such as mail vendors who send out our statements. We require them to keep customer information safe and secure, and do not allow them to use or share the information for any purposes other than they are hired to do.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT CREDIT REPORTING: We may report information about your account to credit bureaus. Late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on your account may be reflected in your credit report.
Security. MGC Mortgage, Inc. maintains physical safeguards, such as secure areas in buildings; electronic safeguards, such as passwords and encryption; and procedural safeguards, such as customer authentication procedures to protect against identity theft.
MGC Mortgage, Inc. aggressively works to protect its operating systems and electronic information by using anti-virus software, anti-spyware software, firewalls, and other defensive measures. Our systems automatically switch to “secure” mode when you are asked to enter personal information on this website (such as your loan number, account number, or social security number). To keep your data safe we use encryption and authentication technology, website design that blocks or limits online display of customer information when not necessary to the transaction, and ID’s and passwords to protect customer information. Before any account information will be displayed on our website, customers are required to log in and authenticate their identity.
MGC Mortgage, Inc. employees are trained on security procedures and regular audits are performed to verify compliance with them. Also, access to information about you is restricted to authorized employees who must obtain that information for business purposes.
