How We Use Your Information.
How We Share Your Information.
We may share your information with our service providers, affiliates, and other third parties for the reasons specified above and in accordance with the Privacy Policy.
We may share your information with third parties to provide the Services you have requested. This may include companies that assist us in processing transactions, preparing and mailing statements, performing marketing services for us, or financial service providers. For example, when authorized by you the consumer, we use third party service provider Plaid Technologies, Inc. ("Plaid") to authenticate and gather your data from your banks or financial institutions. Plaid enables our App to connect with your bank accounts. By using our Services, you authorize us and Plaid to act on your behalf to access and transmit your personal and financial information from your banks or financial institutions. You agree to your personal and financial information being transferred, stored, and processed by Plaid in accordance with Plaid's privacy policy found at: https://plaid.com/legal.
We may also share your personal information in the event of a potential or actual merger, asset sale, financing, corporate divestiture, reorganization or acquisition involving our business, including any transfer made as part of insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings. We may share information about you with our affiliates (i.e., other companies in the Fair family) and with non-affiliates for analysis, market research and marketing purposes as allowed by law. We may also disclose information about you as required or permitted by law, such as to comply with a subpoena, respond to inquiries from government authorities, or defend legal actions. Finally, we may disclose your personal information as otherwise permitted or required by law.
Security.
To protect the confidentiality and security of your personal information transmitted to us, we maintain appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards that comply with applicable federal standards. We restrict access to the personal information obtained from our website to only those employees, agents, and contractors who need it to do their jobs. If you choose to complete and submit a credit application to us, or to access your account through our App, your personally identifiable information will be transmitted via an encryption process. We also require our service providers with whom we contract to protect customer information, and to use the information they collect or receive for the sole purpose of providing the services they provide for us. Please note, however, that no data transmission over the Internet or other network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. It is your responsibility to keep your username and password confidential and safe. We will retain your information as needed for the purposes of servicing your relationships with us, if any, and for internal analysis in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Third Party Links.
The App and our Services may include links to third party sites or social media applications like Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, or Facebook. Because these features are hosted by third parties, when you leave our environment, your interactions with these third party apps, sites, or features are governed by the privacy policy and practices of the respective company and not this Privacy Policy.
Software & Hardware Requirements.
To access and retain electronic communications, you must have an active email address and an up-to-date computing or mobile device with:
If you do not have a PDF reader, you can download Adobe® Reader® at no charge from the following link: https://get.adobe.com/reader/ (By clicking the link, you will be taken to a third-party site not managed by Bee Mortgage App, Inc., where different security or privacy practices may apply.)
By “Current Version,” we mean a version of the software that is currently being supported by its publisher. We reserve the right to discontinue support of a Current Version of software if, in our sole opinion, it suffers from a security flaw or other flaw that makes it unsuitable for use.
If our hardware or software requirements change, and that change creates a material risk that you would not be able to access or retain the information contained in the app or www.beemortgageapp.com, we will give you notice of the revised hardware or software requirements. Continuing to access the app or www.beemortgageapp.com electronically after receiving notice of the change reaffirms your consent.
