2. Send personalized information about AMERICAN RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE and its site features and offers via email, unless you have opted out of receiving these types of communications.

We provide this information to assist our advertisers in determining how to promote their products. We do not tell our advertisers who it was that saw or clicked on their advertisements.
Unless you have opted out (send e-mail to info@myloanworld.com) of receiving special offers or e-mails from selected third parties, we also may provide a report to our advertiser which tells them who responded to a particular offer. For example, we might enhance 24/365 convergence by sending you an e-mail which offers you a discount on a particular service. If you click on that e-mail or accept an offer or discount contained therein, we may provide the advertiser with the information necessary to provide you with that discount.

You can always choose whether or not to disclose personally identifiable information and that choice will not prevent you from using the AMERICAN RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE website. Please note, however, that you must provide some personally identifiable information in order to submit an application for residential real estate mortgage financing.
You can choose at anytime to opt out of receiving e-mails from AMERICAN RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE or from having your personally identifiable information shared with selected companies. Simply send a request to our support e-mail address at the bottom of every page on this website (or click info@myloanworld.com ). If you elect to "opt out" we will not share your personal information with third parties or send you e-mails.

What happens when you leave AMERICAN RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE to go to other sites?
When you are on the AMERICAN RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE website, you may be directed to other sites that evolve frictionless content, and are beyond our control.

AMERICAN RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE is not responsible for any use of the information including click-stream data that you may create when using such third party sites.
AMERICAN RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE also offers its users access to "co-branded" services that generate back-end e-services, and are jointly provided by AMERICAN RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE and selected companies. In some cases, these co-branded services will contain AMERICAN RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE branding, but may not be hosted by AMERICAN RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE. You may notice that you are on a co-branded site if the pages say "provided by", or if you are asked to subscribe for any service or provide additional information. In such cases, if you use the co-branded service, AMERICAN RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE may be entitled to receive information about what you do when using that service. If you elect to provide additional personal information using a co-branded service, the information you provide may be shared or jointly retained by the provider of that service in accordance with that provider's privacy policies and terms of service. Again, we encourage you to read the privacy polices of these other companies and to contact these companies directly if you have any questions about their use of this information. When you are using a co-branded service, we will attempt to make sure that there is a link to the service provider's applicable privacy policies and terms of service.
AMERICAN RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE uses the latest technology to ensure that your information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed totally secure.

CONSUMER CAUTION AND HOME OWNERSHIP COUNSELING NOTICE - CALIFORNIA (back to top)
If you obtain this loan, the lender will have a mortgage on your home. You could lose your home and any money you have put into it if you do not meet your obligations under the loan. Mortgage loan rates and closing costs and fees vary based on many other factors, including your particular credit and financial circumstances, your earnings history, the loan-to-value requested, and the type of property that will secure your loan. Higher rates and fees may be justified depending on the individual circumstances of a particular consumer's application. You should shop around and compare loan rates and fees. This particular loan may have a higher rate and total points and fees than other mortgage loans and is, or may be, subject to the additional disclosure and substantive protections under Division 1.6 (commencing with Section 4970 of the Financial Code. You should consider consulting a qualified independent credit counselor or other experienced financial adviser regarding the rate, fees, and provisions of this mortgage loan before you proceed. For information on contacting a qualified credit counselor, ask your lender or call the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development's counseling hotline at 1-888-466-3487 or go to www.hud.gov/fha/sfh/hcc for a list of counselors. You are not required to complete any loan agreement merely because you have received these disclosures or have signed a loan application. If you proceed with this mortgage loan, you should also remember that you may face serious financial risks if you use this loan to pay off credit card debts and other debts in connection with this transaction and then subsequently incur significant new credit card charges or other debts. If you continue to accumulate debt after this loan is closed and then experience financial difficulties, you could lose your home and any equity you have in it if you do not meet your mortgage loan obligations. Property taxes and homeowner's insurance are your responsibility. Not all lenders provide escrow services for these payments. You should ask your lender about these services. Your payments on existing debts contribute to your credit ratings. You should not accept any advice to ignore your regular payments to your existing creditors.
