PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED
“Personal Information” is information through which you can be identified. Providing your personal information to Comstock is each visitor/user/customer’s choice. Personal Information that Comstock may collect from you includes, but is not limited to your name, postal address(es), telephone number(s), facsimile number(s), e-mail address(es), date of birth, social security number, driver’s license number and state issued, credit card number(s) and account information, bank account number(s) and account information, passport information, naturalization information, and any other information that you voluntarily provide. Personal Information volunteered by a visitor/user/customer is used by Comstock for internal verification to complete requested transactions, ensure appropriate legal use of Comstock’s goods and/or services, provide notification to its visitors/users/customers about updates to Comstock’s Website, goods, services, and data, and to help provide technical and support for Comstock’s goods and services to its visitors/users/customers.
Your Personal Information is collected from our Website, through e-mail and/or through online applications you complete, our guestbook, request for newsletters, request for community information, and through your activities with Comstock. Personal Information that Comstock collects depends on the nature of your activities, including, but not limited to, whether you sign our guest book, join our interest/mailing list and/or fill out our credit application. For example, Personal Information submitted by you on the “Contact Us” web page is used by Comstock to enhance this Website or to reply to questions/comments made by you.
In addition to its own use, Comstock may pass your Personal Information to a participating Lender, preferred Lending Partner, real estate professional and/or any of their authorized agents who provides the goods or services requested to meet the visitor/user/customer’s needs. Comstock may provide your e-mail address to vendors that it deems provide goods or services which you may need. You may opt out of receiving such vendor emails by contacting us at
.
Comstock may also use your Personal Information, or a portion thereof, to send you marketing materials, new community information, preferring Lending Partner information, participating Lender information, information regarding real estate professionals, vendors with information that you may need, and/or Comstock newsletters, unless you notify Comstock that you do not wish to receive such materials. Comstock may also use the services of bonded mailing houses that are authorized to use your Personal Information only for the benefit of Comstock. Please contact Comstock at to request that you not be sent any or all of such information.
Comstock may also disclose your Personal Information if: (1) your information is subject to disclosure in response to judicial or governmental subpoenas, warrants, or orders served on Comstock; (2) your information is subject to disclosure to protect Comstock’s rights or property, to enforce the provisions of this Privacy Policy and/or Comstock’s Terms of Use, and/or to prevent harm to yourself or other; and (3) your information is subject to disclosure or transfer if Comstock or its business is sold or offered for sale to another entity or individual(s), a petition for relief is filed under U.S. Bankruptcy laws for or against Comstock, or if Comstock becomes subject to an order of appointment of a trustee or receiver.
Comstock may purchase a business or sell one or more of our businesses and your Personal Information may be transferred as a part of the purchase or sale. In the event that we purchase a business, the Personal Information received with that business would be treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy, if it is practicable and permissible to do so. In the event that we sell a business, we will attempt to include provisions in the selling contract requiring the purchaser to treat your Personal Information in the same manner required by this Privacy Policy. Thus, any of your opt out requests will not affect our right to transfer your information to a purchaser in these circumstances. Comstock reserves the right to transfer your Personal Information to a third party in the event of a transfer of all or substantially all of Comstock’s assets to a third party, provided that the third party agrees to adhere to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Comstock may hire companies to help deliver products or services, like a shipping company that delivers a package or a company that helps fulfill prizes for a sweepstakes. In those instances, there is a need to share your information with these companies. Comstock may also work with other companies who help either gather your information or communicate with you. Your opt-out of receiving information from us and/or third parties will not apply to sharing by Comstock of your personal information with any of these companies. Nonetheless, except as separately permitted by other provisions of this Privacy Policy, these companies are allowed to gather, receive, and use your information only for the purposes described herein or as required by law.
Comstock may take your Personal Information and make it non-personally identifiable, either by combining it with information about other individuals (aggregating your information with information about other individuals), or by removing characteristics (such as your name) that make the information personally identifiable to you (de-personalizing your information). Given the nature of this information, there are no restrictions under this Privacy Policy upon the right of Comstock to aggregate or de-personalize your personal information, and Comstock may use and/or share with third parties the resulting non-personally identifiable information in any manner.
Unless legally required to do so, Comstock will not sell, rent or otherwise disclose your Personal information to any outside company or organization, except as described herein. This Privacy Policy excludes data that may be stored or transmitted to or from the Internet company hosting this Website.

CHILDREN
Comstock does not knowingly solicit or collect information from children (defined as minors younger than thirteen (13) years of age). If you are the parent or guardian of a child under the age of eighteen (18) or the legal age of contract majority, and have authorized your child to use your computer, we urge you to instruct your child never to give out his or her real name, address, phone number, e-mail address or other personally identifying information while on this Website. There are no computer applications on this Website which allow for the determination of the age of a visitor/user/customer. All information volunteered to Comstock will be treated the same as information given by an adult. Comstock recommends that the Internet browsing behavior of any child should be carefully supervised by a responsible adult at all times.
LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES
This Website contains several links to other websites. Neither Comstock, nor any of its officers, directors, partners, affiliates, subsidiaries, employees, agents, representatives, vendors or suppliers of Comstock is responsible for the content, privacy policies, products, services, reliability, viewpoint, or accuracy of information on any such websites. We do not control and shall not be responsible for the collection of personal information by third party websites, including websites owned or controlled by our preferred Lending Partner, participating Lenders, real estate professionals, vendors and/or websites not controlled or authorized by Comstock.

If you enter or choose to leave our Website via links to other non-Comstock websites (including those of our preferred Lending Partner, participating Lenders, real estate professionals or vendors), your visits to those websites are not covered by this Privacy Policy.
For example, our preferred Lending Partner and/or participating Lenders may review your credit history upon your request for a loan and/or pre-qualification whether or not you actually qualify for a loan with them and/or use their services. We recommend that you contact such lenders directly for more information about their specific privacy policies.
SECURITY
The security and confidentiality of your information is extremely important to us. We have implemented technical, administrative, and physical security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access and improper use. Comstock makes access to your Personal Information subject to certain security measures, including technological controls such as “firewalls,” in accordance with industry standards. When the use of a Comstock web page involves the transmission of Personal Information or confidential information of Comstock, Comstock uses Secure Socket Layer (“SSL”) technology to establish a secure connection between your computer and Comstock. SSL allows the transmission of encrypted information from your computer to Comstock and back again, and is currently the industry standard for Internet platform security. From time to time, we review our security procedures in order to consider appropriate new technology and methods.
Please be aware though that no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so while Comstock strives to protect your Personal Information, Comstock cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information that you voluntarily give to Comstock.
Comstock reserves the right to monitor all network traffic to this Website to identify and/or block unauthorized attempts or intrusions to upload or change information or cause damage to this Website in any manner. Anyone using this Website expressly consents to such monitoring.
