Personal Information Collected
We may collect Personal Information about you from a variety of sources, including but not limited to:

  • Information we receive from you on information packets, applications or other forms, such as your name, address, social security number, tax identification number, asset information, and income;
  • Information we receive from you through our Internet websites, such as your name, address, email address, Internet Protocol address, the website links you used to get to our websites, and your activity while using or reviewing our websites;

  • Information we receive from consumer or other reporting agencies and publicly recorded documents.
    Disclosure of Personal Information
    We may provide your Personal Information (excluding information we receive from consumer or other credit reporting agencies) to various individuals and companies, as permitted by law, without obtaining your prior authorization. Such laws do not allow consumers to restrict these disclosures. Disclosures may include, without limitation, the following:
  • To insurance companies, agents, brokers, representatives, support organizations, or
    others to provide you with services you have requested, and to enable us to detect or prevent criminal activity, fraud, material misrepresentation, or nondisclosure in connection with an insurance transaction;
  • To third-party service providers for the purpose of determining your eligibility for an insurance benefit or payment and/or providing you with services you requested;
  • To an insurance regulatory authority, or a law enforcement or other governmental authority, in a civil action, in connection with a subpoena or a governmental investigation;
  • To companies that perform marketing services on our behalf or to other financial institutions with which we have joint marketing agreements and/or
  • To lenders, lien holders, judgment creditors, or other parties claiming an encumbrance or an interest in title whose claim or interest must be determined, settled, paid or released prior to a title or escrow closing.
    We may also disclose your Personal Information to others when we believe, in good faith, that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with the law or to protect the safety of our customers, employees, or property and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding or court order.

Electronic Mail – If you send an electronic mail (email) message that includes personally identifiable information, we may use that information to respond to your inquiry. Remember that email is not necessarily secure against interception or other disclosure.

Disclosure to Affiliated Companies – We are permitted by law to share your name, address and facts about your transaction with other companies, such as insurance companies, agents, and other real estate service providers, to provide you with services you have requested, for marketing or product development research, or to market products or services to you. We do not, however, disclose information we collect from consumer or credit reporting agencies with our affiliates or others without your consent, in conformity with applicable law, unless such disclosure is otherwise permitted by law.

Disclosure to Nonaffiliated Third Parties – We do not disclose Personal Information about our customers or former customers to nonaffiliated third parties, except as outlined herein or as otherwise permitted by law.

Confidentiality and Security of Personal Information – We restrict access to Personal Information about you to those employees who need to know that information to provide products or services to you. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal regulations to safeguard Personal Information.

Access to Personal Information/ Requests for Correction, Amendment, or Deletion of Personal Information
As required by applicable law, and under certain circumstances, we will afford you the right to access your Personal Information, to determine to whom it has been disclosed, and to request correction or deletion of your information. However, Tandem Title’s current policy is to maintain customers’ Personal Information for no less than the State required record retention requirements.

For your protection, all requests made under this section must be in writing and must include your notarized signature to establish your identity. Where permitted by law, we may charge a reasonable fee to cover the costs incurred in responding to such requests.
