Electronic, Physical and Administrative Safeguards
We take great care to ensure your personal information is kept safe.

Responsible Information Sharing
Information is sometimes shared within the NOVA® HOME LOANS family for purposes that could benefit you such as fraud control and other general business practices. (Affiliates may include, but are not limited to, Nova Financial and Investment Services (NFIS), Accurate Appraisal Management Services (AAMS), and Sikku)

We only contract with respectable, carefully screened third-party financial and non- financial companies that offer our customers valuable merchandise and services.

Control over Information Sharing
We give you a choice. If you do not want us to share your information, follow our opt-out procedures and we’ll be happy to comply with your “opt-out” request, consistent with the procedures in our Privacy Statement.

Our Commitment to You
The following Privacy Statement details our commitment to serving both your financial and privacy needs.
NOVA® HOME LOANS is proud to be part of a financial services organization that has been providing superior products and services to its customers for over 30 years. We greatly appreciate the trust that you and millions of other customers have placed in us, and we will protect that trust by continuing to respect the privacy of all our applicants and customers even if our formal customer relationship ends.
The following will explain our privacy practices so that you will understand our commitment to your privacy, and so you can make an informed choice about who you allow us to share your information with in order to offer you products and services. Although most customers enjoy receiving offers and information about additional products and services, if you prefer that we don’t share your information for marketing purposes we will respect your choice. If you have selected a credit insurance product, the privacy statement applicable to that credit insurance product is set forth at the end of this Privacy Statement.

Types of Information We Collect
It is important for you to know that in order to ensure that our customers get the very best service and the highest quality products, NOVA® HOME LOANS collects demographic information (such as your name and address) and credit information (such as information related to your accounts with us and others). This information comes either directly from you, for instance, from your application and transactions on your account; or, it may come from an outside source such as your credit bureau report. In addition, if you visit our Internet website, we may collect certain information about your Internet usage. Gathering this information helps us to identify our customers and manage our customer relationships. It also assists us in the development of products and services to meet the continuing needs of our customers.

We Respect Your Privacy
Since some of the information we gather is not publicly available, we take great care to ensure that this information is kept safe from unauthorized access, and we would never share the information in violation of any regulation or law.
Because NOVA® HOME LOANS respects your privacy and values your trust, the only employees or companies who can access your non-public personal information are those who use it to service your account or provide services to you or to us. NOVA® HOME LOANS diligently maintains physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with applicable federal standards to guard your non-public personal information and to assist us in preventing unauthorized access to that information.

How We Share Information with Other NOVA® Companies
From time to time, for general business purposes such as fraud control, or when we think it may benefit you, we share certain information with other companies within the NOVA® HOME LOANS family unless you choose to opt out. These companies all provide financial services. We may also share certain information with non-financial service providers that become part of the NOVA® HOME LOANS family in the future. The information we share might come from your application, such as your name, address, telephone number and income.

How We Share Information Outside the NOVA HOME LOANS Family
Except for Vermont, North Dakota and San Francisco residents, we also may share information with other companies outside the NOVA® HOME LOANS family that are able to extend special offers we feel might be of value to you. These offers are typically for products and services that you might not otherwise hear about. The information we may provide them comes from the sources described above and might include your name, address and phone number. For Vermont, North Dakota and San Francisco residents, the law requires us to obtain your permission in order to share information about you in this way, and we have chosen not to share your information in this way.
We may also provide information to non-NOVA® companies that perform operational services related to your account, or marketing services for us. The sharing of information with these types of companies is permitted by law. Such a company might include a financial company (such as a mortgage banker or insurance service provider) with whom we have a joint marketing agreement or a non-financial company (such as a data processor or internet service provider) with whom we have a service agreement. The information we may share also comes from the sources described above and might include your name, address, phone number, and account experience with us.
Finally, we provide information about you to non-NOVA® companies such as credit reporting agencies and companies which provide services related to your account. This information sharing is also permitted by law.

NOVA® Home Loans FACT Act RED FLAG Disclosure
PURPOSE- The purpose of the NOVA®’s Red Flag Identity Theft Plan is to provide information to assist individuals in detecting, preventing, and mitigating identity theft in connection with the opening of a “covered account” or any existing “covered account”.
BACKGROUND OF RED FLAG RULES- In 2003, the U.S. Congress enacted the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act of 2003 (FACT Act) which required the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to issue regulations requiring “creditors” to adopt policies and procedures to prevent identify theft. In 2007, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued a regulation known as the Red Flag Rule. The rule requires “financial institutions” and “creditors” holding “covered accounts” to develop and implement a written identity theft prevention program designed to identify, detect and respond to “Red Flags.”
DEFINITIONS
Covered Accounts- Credit cards, checking/savings accounts, car loans, cell phone service, utilities, margin accounts and mortgage loans.
Creditors-Organizations that regularly extend, renew, or continue credit; companies that make arrangements to extend, renew or continue credit; and assignees of companies who extend, renew, continue credit. Examples are: finance companies, utility companies; automobile dealers, telecommunication companies, mortgage brokers and mortgage lenders.
Identifying Information- Any name or number that may be used alone or in conjunction with any other information to identify a specific person.
Personal Information-This information includes an individual’s first name or first initial and his or her last name in combination with any one or more of the following data elements, when either the name or the data elements are not encrypted or redacted: Social Security Number, driver’s license/state identification card number, health insurance information, medical information, or financial account number such as credit card number, in combination with any required security code, access code, or password that would permit access to an individual’s financial account or identity.
Identity Theft-A fraud committed or attempted using the identifying information of another person without authority.
Red Flags-Alerts, discrepancies, warnings, variance, or unusual activity or pattern that is noticed by the creditor
IDENTIFICATION OF RED FLAGS
Broad categories of “Red Flags” include the following:
*Alerts – alerts, notifications, or warnings from a consumer reporting agency including fraud alerts, credit freezes, or official notice of address discrepancies.
*Suspicious Documents – such as those appearing to be forged or altered, or where the photo ID does not resemble its owner, or an application which appears to have been cut up, re-assembled and photocopied.
*Suspicious Personal Identifying Information – such as discrepancies in address, Social Security Number, or other information on file; an address that is a mail-drop, a prison, or is invalid; a phone number that is likely to be a pager or answering service; personal information of others already on file; and/or failure to provide all required information. *Notice from Others Indicating Possible Identify Theft–such as the institution receiving notice from a victim of identity theft, law enforcement, or another account holder reports that a fraudulent account was opened.
DETECTION OF RED FLAGS- Detection of Red Flags in connection with the opening of covered accounts as well as existing covered accounts can be made through such methods as:
*Obtaining and verifying identity through provided documentation, credit report and Social Security Administration
*Authenticating customers;
RESPONSE TO RED FLAGS- The detection of a Red Flag by an employee shall be reported to the Management Team, Compliance Officer and their appropriate administrator. Based on the type of red flag, the appropriate administrator, Management Team and Compliance Officer together with the employee will determine the appropriate response.
SERVICE PROVIDERS- NOVA® remains responsible for compliance with the Red Flag Rules even if it outsources operations to a third party service provider. The written agreement between NOVA® and the third party service provider shall require the third party to have reasonable policies and procedures designed to detect relevant Red Flags that may arise in the performance of their service provider’s activities. The written agreement must also indicate whether the service provider is responsible for notifying only NOVA® of the detection of a Red Flag or if the service provider is responsible for implementing appropriate steps to prevent or mitigated identify theft.
TRAINING- All employees who process any information related to a covered account shall receive training following appointment on the procedures outlined in this document. Refresher training will be provided annually.
