What kinds of information we collect. Our business is closing real estate transactions and providing title insurance. We collect information about you, (for instance, your name, address, telephone number), and information about your transaction, including the identity of the real property that you are buying or financing. We obtain a copy of any deeds, notes, or mortgages that are involved in the transaction. WE may get this information from you or from the lender, attorney, or real estate broker that you have chosen. Our title insurance company then obtains information from the public records about the property so that we can prepare a title insurance policy. When we provide closing, escrow, or settlement services, we may get your social security number, and we may receive additional information from third parties including appraisals, credit reports, land surveys, escrow account balances, and sometimes bank account numbers to facilitate the transaction. If you are concerned about the information we have collected, please write to us.
