Mate LLC - We Care about your Privacy!
Privacy Policy
Welcome to our website(Site). Explained in this section is our policy
regarding any personal information you might supply to us when you
visit our Site. Our Policy was developed as an extension of our commitment
to combine the highest-quality products and services with the highest
level of integrity in dealing with our visitors and users. This Policy
is designed to assist you in understanding how we collect, use and
safeguard the personal information you provide to us and to assist
you in making informed decisions when using our Site and our products
and services.
1. What information do we collect from you?
In order to better provide you with numerous products and services,
our Site collects two types of information about its visitors: Personally
Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information.
Our primary goal in collecting information from you is to provide
you with a smooth, efficient and customized experience while using
our Site.
Personally Identifiable Information : This refers to information
that lets us know the specifics of who you are. Personal information
is requested when you register with us, order a product or service,
fill out surveys and correspond with us. This information might include
your name, mailing address, telephone number, email address and other
identification and contact information. If you choose to purchase
products or services over the Site, you may need to give personal
information and authorization to obtain information. For example,
you may need to provide the following information:
# Name
# Mailing address / Property Address
# E-mail address
# Social Security Number
# Credit card number and expiration date
# Home and/or business phone number
# Other personal information (e.g., gender and age, mother's maiden
name)
With this information, we can process your request for a Mortgage
Loan, Construction Loan or Commercial Loan.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information : This refers to information
that does not by itself identify a specific individual. We gather
certain information about you based upon where you shop on our Site
in several ways. This information is compiled and analyzed on both
a personal and an aggregated basis. This information may include the
Web site’s Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) that you just came from,
which URL you next go to, what browser you are using, and your Internet
Protocol (“IP”) address. A URL is the global address of documents
and other resources on the World Wide Web. An IP address is an identifier
for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol (“TCP/IP”) network, such as the World Wide Web. Networks
use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP address
of the destination. In other words, an IP address is a number that
is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing
the Web, allowing Web servers to locate and identify your computer.
Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on
the Internet, browse and shop.
2. Where do we collect information from you and how do we use it?
Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide
our visitors with a superior customized online experience. Broadly
speaking, we use personal information for purposes of administering
our business activities, providing customer service and making available
other products and services to our visitors and users. Occasionally,
we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important
changes to our Site, new services and special offers we think you
will find valuable. The lists used to send you product and service
offers are developed and managed under our traditional corporate standards
designed to safeguard the security and privacy of our users’ personal
information.
We may perform statistical analyses of aggregate customer behavior.
This allows us to measure relative customer interest in the various
areas of our Site for product development purposes. Any information
we collect is used for our own internal purposes to improve the content
of our Site, to enhance users' experiences when visiting our Site,
to customize the content and/or layout of our pages, and to provide
the services required by an individual customer. Limited demographic
data may also be collected at our Site from a third party advertising
server, who provides us with the zip code and area code associated
with a visitor’s server, along with pages viewed on our Site. We may
receive summary, but not individual, reports from a third party ad
server, which will tell us how many ads were presented and clicked
upon.
We gather information in the following ways:
Browsing: We collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration,
to gather broad demographic information, to enable ads to be served
on our Site, to report Non-Personally Identifiable Information to
our advertisers and to monitor the level of activity on our Site.
We collect information from visitors to our Site regarding the referring
URL, your IP address, which browser you used to come to the Site,
the country, state and telephone area code where your server is located,
the pages of our Site that you viewed during your visit and any search
terms entered on our Site.
Submitting Application : When you send in an application for inquiry
for more information on a website(site) from us, we collect personally
identifiable information from you. If you order one of the products
or services appearing on our Site, we will, collect and maintain your
name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, social security
number, credit card number, order number, referring URL, and IP address.
We collect this, and other information, as disclosed in this Policy.
Your credit card number will not always be requested but if it is,
this is used soley for you to pre-pay for the Credit Report that we
aquire on behalf of your loan request. Most emails are delivered within
24 hours but some make take longer due to delays on the Internet or
with your internet service provider. You may not receive an email
if you do not fully complete your form through to the Thank You page
or if you have a spam filter on your computer.
Online Surveys and Polling : In order to improve our services to
you, we ask some of our customers to voluntarily complete surveys,
which may be collected by an independent third party. Individual survey
answers are confidential, although Non-Personally Identifiable Information
is collected and disclosed to third parties. If you do not wish to
participate in a survey, simply decline to participate when asked.
Newsletters & Promotional Emails : We may offer free electronic
newsletters, and promotional emails as a service to our prior customers.
We may send you newsletters and emails periodically listing current
specials and deals.

verify your use of our online forms and applications and any errors
that may occur or problems while using our website.
Contact Information and Third Party Data : If you contact us by telephone,
email or letter, we may keep a record of your contact information,
correspondence or comments. If you report a problem with our Site,
we may collect such information in a file specific to you. If you
contact us through our feedback area or by calling one of our customer
service representatives, we ask for your name and email address in
order to send you a reply. If other users or third parties send us
correspondence about your activities or purchases on our Site, we
may keep the information in a file specific to you.
Advertising: We may display advertisements. By knowing a little about
you, we will be able to deliver more relevant advertisements and content
to you in the form of targeted banners and promotions. For example,
advertisers may give us an advertisement and tell us the type of audience
they want to reach. We may take the advertisement and include it in
an email to prior customers meeting that criteria. We may, in the
future, also have a third party advertising server display ads linked
to certain search terms that you have entered, or to certain pages
that you are viewing. In this process, third parties will never have
access to individual account information; only we have access to individual
accounts. Additionally, we may share aggregated data with advertisers.
We also track customers’ traffic patterns throughout their online
sessions, including which pages a customer views while using our Site.
This information is ultimately stored in the form of store categories,
and, in some cases, specific URLs. We use your IP address to diagnose
problems with our servers and software and to administer our Site.
