The policy of Community Investment Corporation ("CIC") is to respect and protect the privacy of our users. This Privacy Policy discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices. We believe that electronic privacy is crucial for the ongoing success of the Internet as a service and commercial medium. CIC does not knowingly solicit, collect or retain information from anyone 13 years of age and under.

While we strive to deliver information to you relevant to your CIC transaction, CIC does not sell, exchange, or release any personally identifiable information to a third party except as required to conduct transactions through the website. From time to time we may introduce new products and services to our customers. To the extent these new products and services affect this policy, this policy will be modified or updated. This policy may also be modified from time to time to reflect legal or other requirements.

Each time you visit the CIC site, CIC collects some information to improve the overall quality of the online experience. We may count, track and aggregate the user’s activity into our analysis of general traffic at our site. To these ends, we may merge information about applicants which may then be shared on an aggregated basis with our advertisers and business partners. However, we will not disclose your individual identity except as required to process applications submitted to CIC or where permitted under applicable laws and regulations.

Use of Cookies
While CIC does not place a cookie in the browser files of your computer, other companies or sites to which we link have the ability to assign their cookies to you in a process not under our control. We are not responsible for their privacy policies or how they treat information about their users. However, CIC will not provide them with information where you have indicated that you do not consent.

Use of Information
The material you submit may be seen by various people who will process information submitted to the CIC system. CIC may use your submitted information periodically to contact you with various CIC product offerings and you agree to receive those messages.

CIC may sponsor promotional events, programs or other similar activities which require the collection, processing and storing of individual contact and demographics information to be used for the event. CIC may also co-sponsor these activities with other companies or business partners in which case individual contact and demographic information is likely to be shared with the other participating sponsors. An applicant’s personal contact and demographic information will not be released to third parties or non-participating organizations without the applicants consent and CIC will request that co-sponsors of such event uphold the privacy of the applicant’s information.

When appropriate, an option will be made available for users, during the event registration process, to choose to receive information from third-party organizations.

Opting Out
Users of the CIC website may choose at any time to remove all contact and other information stored by CIC by contacting us at remove-data@cicchicago.com. In the event an applicant requests removal of information while loan information is being processed, applicant understands that removal of information may impede the processing of the application. CIC shall not be liable for problems arising from the removal of such information.

You should be aware that when you voluntarily disclose personal information in discussion areas that information can be collected and used by others and may result in unsolicited messages from other parties.
