As a business-to-business company, we do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13. On-line registration and Optimal Mortgage Services Web site usage is restricted to adults who are professionally engaged in the businesses we serve. Kids under 13: Do not send any information about yourself to us--including information such as your name, address, or e-mail address. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. In the event that we learn we have collected any personal information from a child under the age of 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information from our database as quickly as possible. - Keeping Your Information Secure
This Optimal Mortgage Services Web site takes commercially reasonable precautions to protect your information. When appropriate, we use SSL encryption technology on our Optimal Mortgage Services Web site and a secure server to encrypt information transmitted between your browsers and our server. As a result, data you submit to our Optimal Mortgage Services Web site is transmitted using commercially reasonable security over the Internet.
This Optimal Mortgage Services Web site also uses password encryption to ensure your privacy when registering for newsletters, events, and other Optimal Mortgage Services related media. We have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use the information we collect through all channels. We maintain a secure process to collect, transmit, and store your personally identifiable information. When you provide information online, we use secure socket layer (SSL) encryption to protect it. However, no method of transmitting or storing electronic data is ever completely secure, and therefore we cannot warrant or guarantee that such information will never be accessed, used or released in a manner that is inconsistent with this policy.
We urge you to keep your online password in a safe place and not to divulge it to anyone. Also remember to sign off your account and close your browser window when you have finished your visit. This ensures that others cannot access your account, especially if you are sharing a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place, such as a library or Internet cafe.
Information relating to Customer transactions, such as contact information, file upload, and document transfer will remain confidential, and will be used by Optimal Mortgage Services for the purpose of delivering services as requested by the Customer. Uploaded documents will only be disclosed as otherwise required by contract, law, or regulation. Information received from interaction with our Customers will be deemed confidential and used only for the services offered by Optimal Mortgage Services. We limit access to information or documentation to those employees who require access to complete their work on behalf of the client.
We employ encryption and third-party firewall filtering technologies. Firewall filtering uses a set of related programs to protect the resources of a private network from users from other networks. It serves as a defense barrier between the Optimal Mortgage Services server and the Internet; granting access and information only to those who are authorized.
Netscape's Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is the standard technology for secure, Web based communications. All traffic between Optimal Mortgage Services’ customers and the Web server is encrypted with a unique “session key.” SSL is built into server hardware, and requires a “digital ID” in order to be functional. These layers of protection virtually guarantee that unauthorized parties cannot view information thereby providing secure communications between the Web server and our client.
Optimal Mortgage Services periodically receives and sends data files as email attachments. For security, Optimal Mortgage Services employs various state-of-the-art virus checking programs before introducing emailed files into our internal systems. When the data being transmitted is of a sensitive or confidential nature, we recommend the files first be zipped and password protected. The password can then be communicated to the designated recipient by telephone, thereby providing the ability to unzip and access the data files. Optimal Mortgage Services’ FTP (File Transfer Protocol) Site requires pre-authorization. Each authorized client firm is issued their own user account, password and secure folder that will be used for all FTP transactions.
