NOTICE OF YOUR FINANCIAL PRIVACY RIGHTS
We, our, and us, when used in this notice, means Corner Financial Corporation
This is our privacy notice of our customers. When we use the words “you” and “your” we mean the following types of customers:
- Past Installment Loan Customers
- Current Loan Customers
- All of customers who have a continuing relationship with us
Respecting and protecting customer privacy is vital to our business. Keeping customer information secure is a priority at Corner Financial, and we want you to be aware of our intended collection and disclosure of your personal information. This privacy policy explains how we will handle your information, and how we will use it to serve you better. The provisions of this policy will apply to former and current customers, consumers and visitors to our Internet web site, unless we state otherwise. This policy also applies to customers who use our call center to provide personal information. If you provide us nonpublic personal information you may opt out of our sharing information with non-affiliated companies. Please see the Opt Out Notice section at the end of this policy.
Confidentiality and Security/With Whom Do We Share Your Information
We restrict access to nonpublic personal information about you to (i) those employees who need to know your information to provide services to you, (ii) third party entities and financial service providers that deliver services to us (such as consumer credit reporting agencies), (iii) to any entity necessary to effect, administer or enforce a transaction that you have requested or authorized, and (iv) nonaffiliated marketing partners. When we use other companies to provide services for us, we request that they protect the confidentiality of personal information they receive as required by law. The law permits us to share information about our current and former customers with government agencies or authorized third parties under certain circumstances. For example, we may be required to share such information in response to subpoenas or to comply with certain laws, such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act. From time to time, we may also tell you about special offers from unrelated companies that we think may interest you. These companies will not learn about your relationship with us unless you respond to their offers.
We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal regulations to guard your nonpublic personal information from unauthorized access.
Please note that if your loan is approved and completed, or if we purchase your loan from another lender, your loan may be serviced by a third party other than Corner Financial (for example, the service provider might assist in collecting payments or provide other customer and accounting services). We will require that any third party servicing a loan held by us, or that assists us in underwriting or originating a loan, will comply with our privacy policy. However, pursuant to laws, regulations, or business transactions, your information may be transferred to other third parties (such as purchasers of loans or regulatory agencies), and we cannot control how that third party may handle your information. Furthermore, in the event that we transfer your loan to a third party and we also transfer the servicing of that loan, then this privacy policy will only apply to the information regarding you that we retain, and is not binding on the purchaser of the loan and their servicer. Please check the privacy policy of any third party that originated your loan or services your loan to understand how your information may be handled by them.
