Welcome to Tailor-Made Mortgages web site. This section explains our policy regarding any personal information you might supply to us when you visit this site. Our goal is to protect your information on the Internet in the same way that we protect it in all the other ways we interact with you.

You can visit this site and find out about our products and services, read about our company, check on career opportunities, get a news update, or other value-added services without giving us any information about yourself.

If you do provide personal information, such as address, e-mail, telephone and fax numbers, as well as demographic and customer identification, it will be sent to us over a secure connection using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology.

We will maintain this information, as well as your business activities and transactions, according to our usual strict security and confidentiality standards.

In order to provide better service, we use "cookies". A cookie is a small piece of information that a web site stores on your web browser on your computer and can later retrieve. The cookie cannot be read by a web site other than the one that set the cookie. We use cookies for a number of administrative purposes, for example, to store your preferences for certain kinds of information.

Most cookies last only through a single session, or visit. None will contain information that will enable anyone to contact you by telephone, e-mail, or postal mail. You can set up your web browser to inform you when cookies are sent, or to prevent cookies from being set.
