CCPA PRIVACY NOTICE

CCPA PRIVACY NOTICE is for California residents only and supplements the information contained in the Privacy Statement of Cazle Mortgage, Inc (“we,” or “our”) and applies solely to visitors, clients, users, and others who reside in the State of California (“consumers” or “you”). We adopt this notice to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) and other California privacy laws.  Any terms defined in the CCPA have the same meaning when used in this notice.

Under CCPA, California residents have the right to know about information collected disclosed or sold, the right to opt out of the sale of certain information, and a limited right to have businesses delete information a business has collected about the consumer. These rights extend only to California residents and information covered by CCPA and does not cover all the data collected.

The rights afforded California residents under the CCPA include:

The Right to Know About Personal Information Collected, Disclosed, or Sold. California consumers have the right to request that a business disclose what personal information it collects, uses, discloses, and sells.

Right to Request Deletion of Personal Information. Under CCPA, you may have the right to request the deletion of your personal information collected or maintained by the Company.

Right to Opt-Out of the Sale of Personal Information. Under CCPA, you may have the right to opt- out of the sale of their personal information by a business.

Right to Non-Discrimination for the Exercise of a Consumer’s Privacy Rights. Under CCPA, you have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment by the Company for the exercise of the privacy rights conferred by the CCPA.

Generally, all personal data collected in relation to a mortgage loan is exempt from the consumer rights to know, delete and opt-out created under CCPA. This is because the information collected is governed by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the California Financial Information Privacy Act or other state and federal laws which mandate certain data retention and therefore exempt this data from CCPA.
