Our Commitment to Security

When you are transmitting sensitive personal information over the Internet, such as applying for a loan, Earth Mortgage gives you the option to use a secure connection. Although our standard connection is equipped with the latest security technology, some customers feel more at ease applying for a loan using our secure connection. All of your data is encrypted with the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) system. This creates a protected connection between you and Earth Mortgage, which safeguards your data from prying eyes.

You may not be able to access the secure server if your connection to Earth Mortgage is originating from inside a firewall (this may occur if your are trying to access Earth Mortgage's secure server from your office) or if you are using a version 2.0 or earlier browser. To correct this error, try originating your connection from another location, such as home. Or, you might want to download the latest version of your preferred browser.

We Respect Your Personal Privacy

Because information is an important part of our business, we understand how important it is to you to know what will happen to any credit or other personal information you give us. We hope this statement will answer your questions about our information policies and security precautions.

You browse the Earth Mortgage Web site anonymously. There are two ways that we gather information about you.
