The purpose of this Notice is to inform you of how Vantage protects and uses your nonpublic personal information during the course of your home buying experience with our family of companies. Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) requires that we provide you with a notice of our privacy policies and practices which informs you of the types of information that we collect from you and the persons or entities to whom your personal information may be disclosed.

In the course of your home buying experience with Vantage, you may share nonpublic personal information about yourself with us in a number of ways. You may provide personal information to us on applications or other forms when communicating or transacting with us in writing, electronically, or by phone, and through requests for forms or literature in connection with your purchase of a Vantage home. On occasion, such information may come from consumer reporting agencies and those companies providing services to us incident to your home purchase, such as property appraisers.

We treat this information as confidential and recognize the importance of protecting access to it. We may share information within the Vantage family of companies to best meet your needs, but we do not disclose nonpublic personal information about you with third parties unless necessary to complete your purchase of a Vantage home, and any mortgage, title, insurance and escrow transactions incident to your home purchase, or as otherwise permitted by law.

From time to time, Vantage may be approached by companies and organizations that have a product or service that we believe may be of interest to you. We may share certain personally-identifiable information such as your name, address, and e-mail address with these companies in an effort to help you find these resources. We will, however, offer you the opportunity to "opt out" of having this personally-identifiable information shared with third parties that are not affiliated with Vantage. Should you decide to opt out of having your personally identifiable information shared with non-affiliated third parties, please let us know by checking the appropriate box located on our forms.

The policies set forth in this notice are effective at the time of publishing, but are subject to change in order to best meet the needs of our customers and to reflect changes in local, state and federal laws. Changes in these policies will be reflected when the Website is updated periodically.
