General information about FMI privacy practices on the Web
We respect your privacy. We know it is important to keep your financial information accurate, up-to-date, and confidential. You have our assurance that we will do our utmost to handle your financial information with discretion and care.
FMI is committed to keeping your information secure. We restrict access to nonpublic personal information about you to those employees who need to know that information to provide products or services to you. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal regulations to guard your nonpublic personal information.

IWe collect and use publicly available information, as well as personal information you give us, so that we can deliver better products and services to you and provide you with information about other products and services that might benefit you. We collect nonpublic personal information ("Private Information") about you from the following sources:

1. Information we receive from you on applications or other forms, such as name, address and telephone number;

2. Information about your transactions with us, or others such as your account balances, payment history, and account activity;

3. Information we receive from a consumer reporting agency, such as your credit bureau reports and other information relating to your creditworthiness; and

4. Information from outside sources that assist us in the origination of products and services (like brokers), such as application information.

Information we disclose. We do not disclose any Private Information about our customers or former customers to anyone, except as permitted by law.

Keeping You Informed. From time-to-time we may make changes to our Privacy Policies and Practices. We will continue to keep you informed.

Because we respect your privacy we use secure servers to collect your data. SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption ensures that your data is not visible to any one except FMI and your browser. SSL encrypts your data, using 128 bit encryption, into a package that can only be decrypted by the appropriate recipient. This allows your data to safely travel over the Internet to our secure servers. SSL verifies the identity of both the sending and receiving computers. This keeps unauthorized entities from viewing or altering your data. This process is known as authentication.

As a further measure of protection we store your data in a separate database on another computer separate from our web server. In the unlikely event that our security is breached and our web server(s) fall victim to a hacker your data will be safe and unreachable through the internet. Further security measures are taken by the implementation of a firewall to further limit how the Internet may enter our web servers.

At FMI, we give you as much control as possible over your personal information. In general, you can visit FMI on the Web without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. There are times, however, when we may need information from you, such as when we require your personal information to provide Mortgage Services, or for paid advertising on the site, or to access special offers. If you choose to give us personal information via the Internet that we may need -- to correspond with you, process a Mortgage Application or advertising order -- we will let you know how we will use such information. If you tell us that you do not wish to have this information used as a basis for further contact with you, we will respect your wishes. We do maintain records of the domains from which people visit us. We analyze this data for trends and statistics, and then we discard it. We have implemented these practices for the FMI Home Page (www.Fmiloan.com).

There is a technology called "cookies" which can be used to provide you with tailored information from a Web site. A cookie is an element of data that a Web site can send to your browser, which may then store it on your system. When you visit any web site, you can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. If you have any questions or comments about our privacy, trademark or any practices or legal issues, you can contact FMI by email or phone.

Links To Other Web Sites

There may be links on the FMI site to other web sites not owned by FMI. The operators of these sites are the exclusive owners of all site content. If you click on a web site link and an ad banner appears, please be aware that Fmiloan.com is not affiliated with these advertisers in any way, nor do we profit from the display of such ads.
