Other Sharing
LEGAL DISCLAIMER: ALTHOUGH WE MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO PRESERVE USER PRIVACY, WE MAY NEED TO DISCLOSE PERSONAL INFORMATION WHEN (I) REQUIRED BY LAW, SUCH AS WHERE WE HAVE A GOOD-FAITH BELIEF THAT SUCH ACTION IS NECESSARY TO COMPLY WITH A CURRENT JUDICIAL PROCEEDING, A COURT ORDER OR LEGAL PROCESS SERVED ON OUR WEB SITE; OR (II) NECESSARY TO PROTECT AND DEFEND THE RIGHTS OR PROPERTY OF VLB OR ITS AFFILIATES, INCLUDING THEIR WEB SITES.

Security
This Web site takes commercially reasonable precautions to protect our users' information. When users submit sensitive information via the Web site, their information is protected both online and off-line. All Personal Information entered by a user on the site is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software currently in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when users are just 'surfing'. While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we take commercially reasonable steps to protect user-information off-line. All of our users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices and requires proper authorization to be accessed. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. Furthermore, all employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Our employees are notified and/or reminded periodically about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our users' information is protected. Finally, the servers that store personally identifiable information are in a secure environment. If users have any questions about the security at our Web site, users can send an email to admin@GetYourMortgage.info.

Notification of Changes to Policy
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this Privacy Statement, the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. In all cases, we will share information that we previously collected only if allowed under the privacy disclosure provided when we collected that information.
