We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration. Certain state privacy laws may define “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” more broadly than an ordinary monetary sale. Where those laws apply to our activities, we provide applicable rights and opt-out mechanisms as required by law.

MILO Third-Party Application

Tag Lending Group uses MILO (mymilo.ai) as a third-party application and technology service provider.

MILO is a mortgage customer-retention, customer-engagement, data-intelligence, and technology platform that may be used by Tag Lending Group to support post-closing customer relationships, mortgage-related engagement, home-value and equity information, customer retention, CRM functionality, and identification of potential mortgage-related opportunities.

In connection with our use of MILO, Tag Lending Group may provide or make available certain customer, borrower, former customer, lead, contact, property, loan, or relationship information to MILO through authorized methods such as secure application programming interfaces (“APIs”), file transfers, database connections, CRM integrations, or other permitted integrations.

Depending on the MILO services and features enabled by Tag Lending Group, MILO may process, obtain, analyze, or generate information relating to:

  • Customer or contact information
  • Property information
  • Home-value estimates
  • Estimated home equity
  • Mortgage-related information
  • Customer engagement and interaction information
  • Home-search or property-listing activity
  • Behavioral or intent-related indicators
  • Mortgage or home-shopping signals
  • Certain life-event or property-related signals where available and lawfully obtained
  • Debt-related or credit-related signals where permitted by applicable law
  • Information generated through customer interactions with MILO-powered features
  • Other information necessary to provide enabled MILO services

MILO may also provide behavioral or engagement information and other authorized insights back to Tag Lending Group or systems used by Tag Lending Group, including our CRM.

Certain MILO features may use automated technologies or artificial intelligence to assist with customer engagement, follow-up, prioritization, communications, or identification of potential mortgage-related opportunities.

Tag Lending Group may use information obtained through or generated by MILO for legitimate purposes such as customer service, customer retention, relationship management, mortgage-related communications, home-value or equity information, identifying potential mortgage needs, operational activities, and other purposes permitted by applicable law.

MILO is a third-party application and is not owned or operated by Tag Lending Group. MILO's processing of information may also be governed by its own applicable terms, privacy practices, security measures, and contractual obligations.

Tag Lending Group does not rely solely on MILO or similar automated technologies to make a final decision regarding a consumer's eligibility for mortgage credit. Final lending and credit decisions are made in accordance with applicable lending, fair-lending, consumer-protection, underwriting, and regulatory requirements.

Information processed by Tag Lending Group in connection with MILO will be handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.

Behavioral Advertising, Remarketing, and Marketing Measurement

Where permitted by applicable law, we may use advertising, analytics, and marketing platforms such as Google, Meta/Facebook, LinkedIn, and similar services to measure marketing effectiveness, understand engagement, and provide relevant content.

Where applicable law requires consent before certain tracking or advertising technologies are activated, we will seek such consent.

Where applicable state privacy law provides a right to opt out of certain targeted advertising, sale, or sharing activities, eligible consumers may exercise those rights as provided in the Your Privacy Rights section below.

Retention of Information

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and to satisfy applicable legal, regulatory, contractual, licensing, audit, investor, fraud-prevention, security, and record-retention obligations.

Certain mortgage, transaction, and compliance records may be retained for seven (7) years or longer where required or appropriate under applicable law, regulation, investor requirements, contractual obligations, litigation holds, or legitimate business requirements.

Retention periods may therefore vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it is maintained.

Sharing and Disclosure of Information

Depending on the transaction or service, we may disclose personal information to:

  • Mortgage investors and related transaction participants
  • Loan processors and underwriters
  • Credit reporting agencies
  • Verification providers
  • Title and escrow companies
  • Appraisers and valuation providers
  • Settlement-service providers
  • Insurance providers where applicable
  • Financial institutions
  • Technology providers
  • CRM providers
  • Customer-retention and engagement platforms, including MILO
  • Financial-data connectivity providers, including Plaid
  • Communications providers
  • Fraud-prevention and security providers
  • Professional advisers, auditors, and consultants
  • Federal, state, and local regulatory or governmental authorities
  • Law enforcement or other parties where disclosure is required or permitted by law

Disclosures are limited to purposes permitted by applicable law and reasonably related to our mortgage, operational, compliance, security, customer-service, or other legitimate business functions.

By providing your mobile telephone number and providing the required consent, where applicable, you may agree to receive text messages relating to your mortgage application, loan processing, loan status, document requests, appointments, closing information, customer service, account verification, and other communications covered by your consent.

Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply.

Reply STOP to applicable messages to opt out and HELP for assistance.

Consent to receive marketing text messages is not a condition of purchasing a product or service where prohibited by applicable law.

Additional terms may be provided in our SMS Terms of Use.

SMS Consent and Mobile Information

Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be sold or shared with third parties for their own independent marketing or promotional purposes.

Mobile information and SMS consent information may be provided to service providers, carriers, aggregators, and other vendors as necessary to enable and deliver text messaging services, subject to applicable law.

Service Providers and Processors

We may engage third-party vendors, service providers, processors, contractors, and technology providers to perform services on our behalf or support our operations.

Where required by applicable law, these providers are subject to contractual requirements addressing permitted processing, confidentiality, data security, and applicable privacy obligations.

The specific legal classification of a third party may vary depending on the service, information involved, applicable contract, and governing law.

Plaid Financial Account Connectivity and Data Sharing

Tag Lending Group uses Plaid Inc. (“Plaid”) to enable consumers to connect financial accounts and provide financial information in connection with mortgage-related services, including verification and evaluation of financial, asset, income, employment, transaction, or account information, as applicable.

When you choose to connect a financial account through Plaid, you authorize Plaid to access and process information from the financial institution and accounts you select and to provide applicable information or reports to Tag Lending Group for purposes related to your requested mortgage or financial services.

Depending on the Plaid services used and permissions you provide, information processed through Plaid may include identifiers, financial-institution and account information, account ownership information, balances, transaction history, income or employment information, and other information made available by your financial institution.

Plaid processes information pursuant to its applicable terms and privacy practices. We encourage consumers to review Plaid's End User Privacy Policy before connecting financial accounts.

By voluntarily proceeding with a Plaid-powered account connection and providing requested authorization or consent, you acknowledge that information may be processed by Plaid and made available to Tag Lending Group as permitted by your authorization.

Tag Lending Group uses information received through Plaid for legitimate mortgage, underwriting, verification, fraud-prevention, compliance, and related business purposes, as applicable.

Information received by Tag Lending Group through Plaid is handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable federal and state requirements.

State Privacy Rights and Applicability

Privacy rights vary depending on your state of residence, the nature of your relationship with Tag Lending Group, the type of information involved, and whether the applicable law applies to Tag Lending Group or the particular processing activity.

Depending on applicable law, eligible consumers may have rights concerning:

  • Access to personal information
  • Confirmation of whether personal information is being processed
  • Correction of inaccurate personal information
  • Deletion of certain personal information
  • Obtaining a copy of certain personal information
  • Data portability

These rights are subject to applicable exceptions, exemptions, verification requirements, and limitations.

Information subject to GLBA, FCRA, or other federal financial-services requirements may be excluded from some state-law rights to the extent provided by applicable law.

We do not discriminate against consumers for exercising privacy rights protected by applicable law.

California Privacy Notice

California residents may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), where those laws apply to Tag Lending Group or the particular processing activity.

Tag Lending Group is not licensed to conduct mortgage lending or brokerage activities in California and does not offer mortgage lending services in California unless and until properly licensed or otherwise authorized.

However, individuals may be able to access our publicly available website from California. Website accessibility alone does not mean that Tag Lending Group offers mortgage products or services in California.

Where the CCPA/CPRA applies, eligible California consumers may have rights to request information concerning applicable personal-information practices, request deletion or correction, and exercise applicable opt-out or limitation rights, subject to statutory exceptions and exemptions.

Personal information collected, processed, sold, or disclosed subject to GLBA and its implementing regulations may be exempt from the CCPA to the extent provided by California law.

Tag Lending Group does not sell personal information for monetary consideration. If activities constitute “selling” or “sharing” under an applicable statutory definition, eligible consumers may exercise applicable opt-out rights as required by law.

Electronic Communications, Tracking, and Call Recording

Tag Lending Group uses electronic communications and technology providers in connection with its websites and services.

Information transmitted through the internet may pass through third-party networks, service providers, hosting environments, analytics platforms, CRM systems, or other infrastructure.

Where applicable law requires notice, consent, or another legal basis before certain website tracking, session-monitoring, communications, or similar technologies are used, Tag Lending Group seeks to implement those requirements.

Telephone Communications and Call Recording

Certain inbound or outbound telephone calls with Tag Lending Group may be recorded or monitored for quality assurance, training, customer service, compliance, fraud prevention, and other legitimate business purposes where permitted by applicable law.

Because call-recording and interception laws vary by jurisdiction, Tag Lending Group provides notice and/or obtains consent where required by applicable law.

Users should not assume that continued participation alone constitutes legally sufficient consent in every jurisdiction; Tag Lending Group will use the notice or consent method required under applicable law.

Security Safeguards

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, acquisition, use, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

Depending on the system and information involved, safeguards may include:

  • Encryption
  • Access controls
  • Multi-factor authentication
  • Network and endpoint security controls
  • Secure cloud infrastructure
  • Vendor-management practices
  • Employee privacy and security training
  • Incident-response procedures
  • Authentication and account-security controls

No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Identity Theft and Fraud Prevention

Tag Lending Group maintains measures designed to identify, prevent, detect, and respond to identity theft, fraud, unauthorized access, and other security threats in accordance with applicable requirements.

Where applicable, we maintain identity-theft prevention procedures consistent with the FTC Red Flags Rule and other relevant regulatory requirements.

Automated Technologies and Artificial Intelligence

We may use automated technologies and artificial intelligence-enabled tools to assist with functions such as:

  • Customer engagement
  • Customer retention
  • Lead or opportunity prioritization
  • Follow-up communications
  • Fraud detection
  • Operational workflows
  • Data analysis
  • Mortgage-related opportunity identification

These technologies may include functionality provided through third-party applications such as MILO.

We do not rely solely on automated technology or artificial intelligence to make a final decision regarding a consumer's eligibility for mortgage credit.

Where applicable law grants consumers rights regarding certain automated decision-making or profiling activities, we will honor those rights as required.

Payments

Where online payment functionality is offered, payments may be processed through third-party payment providers using applicable security standards.

Tag Lending Group does not intentionally store complete payment-card information unless necessary and permitted under applicable law and applicable security requirements.

Children's Privacy

Our mortgage products and services are intended for adults and are not directed to children.

We do not knowingly solicit mortgage applications from children under 18.

If we learn that information from a child has been collected in circumstances requiring deletion or other action under applicable law, we will take appropriate steps.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your state of residence and applicable law, you may have certain rights concerning your personal information.

These may include the ability to:

  • Request access to certain personal information
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of certain information
  • Obtain a copy of certain information
  • Opt out of certain marketing communications
  • Opt out of certain targeted advertising, sale, sharing, or profiling where applicable
  • Limit certain processing of sensitive information where applicable
  • Appeal certain privacy-request decisions where applicable

These rights are not absolute and may be subject to exemptions and exceptions, including requirements relating to mortgage lending, GLBA, FCRA, fraud prevention, security, regulatory compliance, litigation, and record retention.

We may verify your identity before processing a request where permitted or required by law.
