What We Do With Information Covered by This Policy

We use and disclose Covered Information in connection with our secondary marketing activities and for other legally permissible purposes related to our business. For example, we use Covered Information to evaluate loans in which we are considering acquiring an interest and to monitor the performance of loans that we own. We also use this information to evaluate property values and predict default.

We provide Covered Information to third parties such as loan servicers, consumer reporting agencies, workout companies, foreclosure attorneys and technology providers to enable the third parties to perform business, professional and technical support functions for us, our website or you. For example, we may disclose Covered Information to third parties in order to process and administer or protect our interest in a loan or to assist us with this website.

We use Covered Information for purposes of research related to our business, our public purpose and this website. We may publish the results of our research, but we will not publish personally identifiable information about you in connection with the research.

We disclose Covered Information to our regulators and as otherwise required by applicable laws and regulations. We otherwise comply with applicable laws and regulations in our use and disclosure of Covered Information.

How We Safeguard Personally Identifiable Information

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect the security and confidentiality of Covered Information that we receive, transmit and maintain, including computer files and documents that contain the information. Our standards are designed to:

• Protect the security and confidentiality of the information,
• Protect against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of the information, and
• Protect against unauthorized access to or use of the information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to a borrower, consumer or employee.

We restrict access to Covered Information to those who need to know the information for our business purposes. We destroy, erase or make unreadable such information prior to disposal as required by applicable law. Our policies and our agreements with third parties require appropriate security and confidentiality standards to protect the confidentiality of Covered Information (including Website Visitor Information) and prohibit its unlawful disclosure.

We strive to maintain a high standard of security and privacy. However, no information can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and we make no such warranty or guarantee. In addition, we do not commit to protecting publicly available or non-confidential information except as may be required by applicable law or regulation.
