ResiCentral Privacy Policy

For Mortgage Brokers & Lending Partners

The short version: We collect only required information to run your account and process loans. We don’t sell your data. You have real rights over your information, and this policy explains how to use them.

1. Who this policy is for

This policy covers anyone who uses the ResiCentral platform as a licensed mortgage broker, loan originator, or referral partner. If you’re a borrower whose loan is being processed through a broker, your information is handled as part of that loan file — this policy explains how we treat it.

ResiCentral is a licensed California mortgage lender. That means we follow both California privacy law and federal financial privacy rules. We’ve written this policy to satisfy both without burying you in legal jargon.

2. What information we collect

We only collect what we actually need. Here’s what that looks like in practice:

When you create an account

  • Your name, NMLS license number, and state licensing details
  • Your brokerage name and contact information
  • Your business email address and phone number
  • Tax ID or EIN (required for paying you and filing your 1099)
  • Banking details for direct deposit of compensation

When you submit a loan

  • The borrower’s file, exactly as you upload it
  • Any supporting documents you attach to the loan

We handle borrower data with the same care as your own. It’s used only to process that specific loan and is not repurposed.

Automatically, when you use the platform

  • Your IP address and browser type
  • Which pages you visit and when
  • Actions you take within the platform (uploads, searches, form submissions)
  • Session length and login timestamps

This is standard for any secure financial platform. We use it to keep the system safe, fix problems, and meet audit requirements.

3. How we use your information

We use your information for four things:

  • Running your account — verifying your license, processing your loans, paying your compensation, and keeping your profile current
  • Keeping the platform secure — detecting unauthorized access, maintaining audit logs, and meeting cybersecurity requirements
  • Communicating with you — sending you loan status updates, platform notices, and (with your consent) product updates
  • Following the law — satisfying our obligations under federal mortgage lending regulations, California privacy law, and IRS reporting rules

That’s it. We don’t use your data to build marketing profiles, train AI models, or sell to third parties.

4. Who we share your information with

The rule: We don’t sell your information. We don’t share it for advertising. We share it only when it’s necessary to run your account or required by law.

Service providers

We work with vendors who help us operate the platform — things like cloud hosting, payment processing, and email delivery. These vendors can only use your data to perform their specific job for us. They’re contractually prohibited from doing anything else with it.

Loan processing partners

When you submit a loan, we may share borrower information with title companies, appraisers, and credit reporting agencies to process that transaction. They receive only what they need for their role.

Regulators and government agencies

We may share information with agencies like the California DFPI, the CFPB, or the IRS when required by law or in response to a regulatory examination. Where legally permitted, we’ll let you know if this happens.

If ResiCentral is sold or merged

If our business is acquired or merged, partner information may transfer to the new entity. We’ll give you advance notice and an opportunity to opt out before that happens.

5. Tracking, cookies, and your consent

California law (CIPA, Cal. Penal Code § 630 et seq.) requires us to tell you clearly about any monitoring or tracking — and in some cases, get your consent before doing it. Here’s exactly what we do:

Cookies

We use three types of cookies:

  • Security cookies — keep your session active and protect your account. These are always on; the platform can’t work without them.
  • Preference cookies — remember your settings. You can turn these off.
  • Analytics cookies — tell us how brokers use the platform so we can improve it. You can turn these off too.

When you first visit, a cookie banner will ask for your preferences. You can change them through the settings in the platform footer. We don’t use advertising or retargeting cookies.

Email open tracking

Emails we send may include a small invisible image that tells us whether the email was opened. We use this in aggregate — to know if a communication was reaching people generally, not to monitor you individually. If you prefer plain‑text emails without any tracking, email compliance@resicentral.com and we’ll switch your account.

Session activity

We log what happens in your platform sessions — which pages you visited, what you uploaded, what you searched. This is required for security and regulatory audit compliance. By using the platform, you consent to this logging. We don’t monitor anything outside of ResiCentral.

Phone calls

If we record a support or account call, we’ll tell you before the call starts. Under California law, everyone on the call must agree. If you’d rather not be recorded, just say so and we’ll note it unrecorded.

Do Not Track

If your browser sends a Do Not Track signal, we turn off analytics cookies for your session. Security cookies still run because they’re required for you to log in.

6. Authorized use of the platform (and what’s not allowed)

California Penal Code § 502 protects computer systems from unauthorized access. To be clear about what that means on our platform:

You’re authorized to:

  • Access and manage loan files for transactions where you’re the originator
  • View your own account, pipeline, and compensation records
  • Use the tools, rate sheets, and resources available to active partners
  • Contact our team for support on your active loans

You’re not authorized to:

  • Access loan files belonging to another broker without written permission from ResiCentral
  • Share your login credentials with anyone else
  • Attempt to probe, test, or bypass our security systems
  • Use the platform after your account has been closed or suspended
  • Scrape or bulk‑download data outside of normal loan workflows

Unauthorized access may result in account termination, civil liability under Cal. Penal Code § 502(e), and referral to law enforcement. If you think your account has been compromised, contact compliance@resicentral.com right away.

8. Your privacy rights (California residents)

If you’re a California resident, you have meaningful rights over your information under the CCPA and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). Here’s what they are in plain terms:

🔍 Right to Know

You can ask us what personal information we have about you, where we got it, why we have it, and who we’ve shared it with. We’ll tell you, in writing, within 45 days.

🗑️ Right to Delete

You can ask us to delete your information. We’ll do it unless we’re legally required to keep it — which applies to a lot of mortgage data under federal law. If we can’t delete something, we’ll tell you exactly why.

✏️ Right to Correct

If something we have about you is wrong, you can ask us to fix it. Send us the correction and we’ll update our records and confirm the change.

🚫 Right to Limit Sensitive Information

Sensitive information (like your Social Security number or bank account details) is used only for the specific purpose we collected it for. We don’t use it for profiling or secondary analysis.

Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing

We don’t sell your data and we don’t share it for advertising. There’s nothing to opt out of today, but if that ever changes, we’ll add an opt‑out before it happens.

⚖️ Right to Non‑Discrimination

Exercising any of these rights won’t affect your account, your compensation, or how we treat you as a partner. Full stop.

📬 To make a request: Email compliance@resicentral.com, call 1‑800‑647‑8750, or write to us at ResiCentral, Attn: Privacy Compliance Officer, 19417 Shumard Oak Drive, Unit 102, Land O’ Lakes, Florida 34638. We’ll acknowledge your request within 10 business days and respond within 45 days.

Note: A significant amount of the information we hold in connection with mortgage transactions is governed by federal financial privacy law (GLBA, FCRA) and is exempt from some CCPA rights. Where an exemption applies, we’ll explain it clearly in our response.

9. How we protect your information

We use industry‑standard security to protect what you share with us:

  • All data in transit is encrypted with TLS 1.3
  • Stored data is encrypted with AES‑256
  • Every login requires multi‑factor authentication
  • Access is restricted by role — staff only see what they need for their job
  • We run continuous monitoring for unusual activity
  • We conduct annual independent security assessments

If there’s ever a security incident involving your data, we’ll notify you as required by California’s data breach notification law (Cal. Civil Code § 1798.82) and any applicable federal rules.

10. Federal privacy rules (GLBA)

Because we’re a mortgage lender, we’re also covered by the Gramm‑Leach‑Bliley Act (GLBA). GLBA requires us to:

  • Give you a privacy notice when you open your account — this policy is that notice
  • Send you an updated notice every year — we’ll email it to you annually
  • Protect your nonpublic personal information with a formal security program — we do

We don’t share your nonpublic personal information with non‑affiliated third parties for marketing, so no opt‑out is required under GLBA. If that ever changes, we’ll give you the choice before it does

11. When this policy changes

We review this policy at least once a year. When something material changes:

  • We’ll email you at least 30 days before the change takes effect
  • We’ll post a notice on the platform login page for 60 days
  • The updated date at the top will reflect the change

The current version is always at [resicentral.com/privacy]. If you want to see an older version, just ask.
