Information Closeline Collects
As a part of our business operations, we routinely collect and retain information about our customers (“Customer Information”). The majority of this information is from public records. In addition, various entities may provide us with personal non-public information about our customers.

This Customer Information may be used for, but is not limited to, such activities as: developing and submitting a proposal, closing real estate and related loan transactions; administration of records; execution of accounting and funding; compliance with laws or regulations; and/or the development of future products.
Closeline is the sole owner of the information we collect. We will not sell, share, trade, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed within this Privacy Policy or agreed to contractually with our customers. The majority of our customers are businesses or other non-person legal entities. While most of the Customer Information we collect is not of a personal nature, certain information collected and portions of the transaction information we receive may include public and non-public information about individuals as well as about the entities with which they conduct business activities.
All Customer Information obtained by Closeline, whether it is information we solicit directly from our customers, from visitors to our website, or collect during the processing of transactions, we regard as “private” and we take appropriate steps to protect its integrity and confidentiality. No information regarding specific persons will be provided to any third party except:

- to assist in preventing or prosecuting fraud, or to otherwise comply with a requirement or request of the government,
- to comply with the rules and regulations of any credit or debit card payment network, or
- with the person’s or company’s written consent.
