**THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT**
There are two kinds of information websites can obtain about you:
**Anonymous Information**: Anonymous Information is aggregate data that websites use to administer their sites. It may include such information as your browser type or your Internet Protocol (IP) address. Locus Companies, LLC may from time to time retain third parties to help us collect and aggregate Site customer information.
**IP Addresses** – An IP address is a unique string of numbers assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address. We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer our Site, and may use it to gather broad demographic information.
**Personally Identifiable Information**: Personally Identifiable Information is any information that personally identifies you, such as your name, email address, or telephone number. Sometimes this personal information is needed when you register to obtain a quote from a lender, or when you contact us. We may ask you to provide us with personal information on a voluntary basis in certain areas of our Site. In particular, you may be asked to provide the following information:
**Registration/Qualification Forms** – When you complete a qualification form on the Site, you will need to provide personal and financial information such as your name, phone number, Social Security Number, email address, income, and other financial information depending upon your expressed loan or real estate referral preference. Your information is released to us only after you click on the “Submit” button. These lenders may contact you directly via phone, email, or other communications. We operate under federal and/or state laws. Your email address is required on this form so we can answer your questions, and we want your name, too, so we can address our answer in a mannerly way. Locus Companies, LLC may put information from email on file but does not currently share, sell, license, or transmit this information with third parties without express authorization from you.

**HOW WE USE GATHERED INFORMATION**
The information you share with us may be used in a few ways:
**Anonymous Information**: Anonymous Information is used internally for Site administration, troubleshooting, and to help improve the quality of the web pages. We may share such aggregated, non-personally identifiable information, such as demographics, with existing and prospective business partners and advertisers. We never connect aggregate information with Personally Identifiable Information, and none of the aggregate information we share will contain any information that identifies you individually.
**Personally Identifiable Information**: Personally Identifiable Information collected by Locus Companies, LLC may be used for purposes including administration of the Site, lead processing, and communications with you. From time to time, our advertising and promotional partners may desire to use your registration and other information to call your attention to offers they believe might interest you. If you prefer not to receive direct communications sent by our advertisers or promotional partners, you will be given an opportunity to decline before you provide us any information we might use for this purpose. In all cases, however, we will use your information only as permitted by law. We may also disclose Personally Identifiable Information if we are required to do so by law or if we in good faith believe that such action is necessary to (a) comply with the law or with legal process; (b) protect and defend our rights and property; (c) protect against misuse or unauthorized use of the Site; or (d) protect the personal safety or property of our users or the public. Please note that we may not provide you with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.

**OPT-OUT**
You will be given the right to opt-out of receiving information whenever you are asked to provide Personally Identifiable Information on this Site. If you do not opt-out at that time but later decide that you do not wish to receive future communications of this nature, you can contact us at 303-444-5251 or at the address provided below, indicating that you no longer want to receive (a) information relating to the Locus Companies, LLC Site; or (b) information relating to products and services provided by our business partners and affiliates.

**SECURITY**
This Site incorporates appropriate safeguards to protect the security, integrity, completeness, accuracy, and privacy of the personal information we have collected. We have put in place reasonable precautions to protect information from loss, misuse, and alteration. Our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as required, and only authorized individuals have access to the information you provide. Security of information communicated by or to us over the Internet is of utmost concern to us; however, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Please note that your email, like most, if not all, non-encrypted Internet communications, may be accessed and viewed by other Internet users without your knowledge and permission while in transit to us. For that reason, to protect your privacy, please do not use email to communicate information to us that you consider confidential. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or through our Site, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we will use reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our internal systems. Depending on the nature of the inquiry, your communication may be discarded or archived. If you wish, you may contact us instead via telephone at the numbers provided throughout our Site.

**OUR COMMITMENT TO CHILDREN’S PRIVACY**
Protecting the privacy of children is very important to us. The Children’s Online Privacy and Protection Act of 1998 (“COPPA”) defines a “Child” as anyone under the age of 13. Locus Companies, LLC strictly adheres to COPPA. For that reason, we do not collect or maintain information obtained through our Site from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our Site is structured to attract anyone under 13.
