o
Technical information we collect.
When you visit a FundingPlusUSA.com Web site, our Web server sends a
cookie to your computer. This cookie merely stores a limited amount
of information about your site visit. The cookie merely tracks
aggregate information on how our site is being used, including
session counts, navigation patterns, pages visited, etc. These
cookies, however, do not store any personally identifiable
information such as your name, email address, phone number, etc. as
you browse the site. These cookies cannot be related to you as an
individual unless you complete a loan request.
When you complete a loan request, we store your cookie
identification in our system. If you request that we remember you
during a loan request, we use this cookie to allow our site to
recognize you when you return.
FundingPlusUSA.com also utilizes Web Logs to track aggregate
information about how our site is being used. Web Logs track
anonymous user information, including the number of visitors to our
site, operating systems, Internet Provider addresses (if publicly
available), and browser type. Unlike cookies, Web Logs are
maintained only on FundingPlusUSA.com servers and do not store or
place anything on the user's computer.
If you come to any Funding Plus com web site from an online banner
ad, an anonymous identification number may be passed to our site.
This information cannot be used to gather any personally
identifiable information about you. It will only allow us to track
the overall effectiveness of our online advertising campaigns.
Information from surveys. Every survey presented to you will
include specific instructions regarding how your information may be
shared. By clicking the "Submit" button at the end of the survey,
you authorize FundingPlusUSA.com to share your data in the manner
outlined on the survey.
o
Information from the "Contact Us" section of a FundingPlusUSA.com Web
site.
In the "Contact Us" form, we may ask you for personally identifiable
information such as your name, mailing address, email address, etc.
This information will not be sold to any person or organization.
However, your information may be shared with other parties relevant
to your transaction to help resolve any issues you report to us.

If you are a Lender and you submit one or both of the forms
requesting more information, your name and other identifying
information will not be sold or shared with any person or
organization. Your e-mail address or telephone number may be used by
authorized FundingPlusUSA.com employees to contact you concerning your
request.
3.
How your information is used.
o
Sharing information with our participating Lenders.
After participating Lenders receive your information, they may
contact you directly via phone, e-mail or other communications. All
of our Lenders operate under federal and/or state laws and
regulations and believe, as we do, that the Internet is an exciting
and secure place to do business. If you are matched with any
participating Lenders, the Lender with which you choose to close
your loan will report certain information about your loan to
FundingPlusUSA.com, and FundingPlusUSA.com will treat that information in the
manner it treats the information you provided on your loan request.
As our Lenders may keep and use your information whether or not you
qualify for a transaction with them, we recommend that you contact
them directly for more information about their specific privacy
policies.
Sharing information with third parties.
Following is an example of how FundingPlusUSA.com may act as an agent
for our participating Lenders. A Lender may instruct us to share
information with an appraiser to prepare an appraisal of the
property to be mortgaged, with a flood certification provider to
determine whether the property lies in a flood plain, or with a
prospective secondary market purchaser of the mortgage loan the
lender may make. In such situations, we will be acting on behalf of
the Lender, under the authority of the Lender's privacy policy, a
copy of which you will receive from the Lender. All of the
information-sharing we do as agent for the Lender would be
permissible under applicable federal law for the Lender to do
directly.
4.
Altering Information You Submit Through a FundingPlusUSA.com Web Site.
Changing your information. If you want to change the type of
loan or make other significant changes to your loan you might need
to make another request through our Web site.
Deleting your information. Even if your loan request was
withdrawn, by law, we cannot delete that information. We store all
of the information you might provide securely.
If you have questions or concerns regarding this statement, you
should first contact our customer service department at
custsvc@FundingPlusUSA.com
