We may disclose information when permitted or required by law, including in the following circumstances:

Mortgage Transaction and Everyday Business Purposes

Do Not Track and Privacy Preference Signals

Some browsers and devices offer "Do Not Track," Global Privacy Control, or similar privacy preference signals. Where applicable law requires recognition of a legally valid preference signal, we will respond as required by law. Because there is not a uniform industry standard governing every type of Do Not Track signal, other signals may not produce a specific response from our Website.

Telephone Calls, Text Messages & Email

If you provide your telephone number, email address, or other contact information in connection with a request, we may use that information to respond to your inquiry and communicate with you regarding the mortgage products or services you requested.

Where consent is required for telephone or text-message communications, we will request that consent at the applicable point of collection.

If you consent to receive text messages from VA Help Center, message frequency may vary and message and data rates may apply. You may reply STOP to a text message to request that text messages stop. Where supported, you may reply HELP for assistance. You may also contact us at (801) 871-3739.

Consent to receive marketing calls or text messages is not a condition of obtaining or purchasing a mortgage product or service.

SMS consent and telephone numbers collected for SMS purposes are not shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing purposes.

If you receive marketing email from us and no longer want to receive such communications, you may use an unsubscribe mechanism provided in the message, if available, or contact us at vahelpcenter@gmail.com .

Requests to stop marketing communications do not prevent us from sending communications that are necessary to respond to your request, service a transaction, comply with law, or provide legally required notices.

Federal Financial Privacy

VA Help Center is a mortgage company and handles certain nonpublic personal information in connection with financial products and services. Federal financial privacy law, including the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and applicable Regulation P requirements, governs certain collection, disclosure, and protection of nonpublic personal information.

The following summary is provided to make our general information practices easier to understand. When federal law requires VA Help Center to deliver a specific initial, annual, revised, or other financial privacy notice, that required notice may be provided separately.

Information Security

VA Help Center maintains administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect customer information against unauthorized access, acquisition, use, alteration, or disclosure and to comply with applicable information-security requirements.

Our information-security practices are designed, as appropriate to the nature and sensitivity of the information and our business operations, to address areas such as:

  • Limiting access to customer information to authorized persons with a business need for access
  • Authentication and access-control measures
  • Protection of information during storage and transmission, as appropriate
  • Information-security awareness and employee practices
  • Selection and oversight of service providers that handle customer information
  • Monitoring, testing, and evaluation of security controls as appropriate
  • Secure retention and disposal practices
  • Procedures for responding to suspected or confirmed security incidents

No information system, Internet transmission, storage system, or security measure can guarantee absolute security. Accordingly, although we use safeguards designed to protect information, we cannot guarantee that information will never be subject to unauthorized access, disclosure, loss, misuse, or a security incident.

Data Retention & Secure Disposal

We retain personal information for periods that are reasonably necessary for the purposes for which the information was collected, to complete or document mortgage transactions, maintain required business and regulatory records, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, enforce agreements, and satisfy applicable federal and state legal obligations.

Different categories of mortgage and financial records may have different legally required retention periods.

When customer information is no longer required to be retained, our disposal practices are designed to make the information unreadable, inaccessible, or otherwise appropriately destroyed, consistent with applicable law and our information-security obligations.

Security Incidents & Data Breach Notification

If VA Help Center becomes aware of a suspected security incident involving personal information, we will investigate the incident and take appropriate steps based on the nature and circumstances of the event.

When notification to affected individuals, the Federal Trade Commission, a state attorney general, another regulator, consumer reporting agencies, or other governmental authorities is required by applicable law, we will provide such notification in accordance with the applicable requirements.

Your Privacy Choices & Requests

Depending on the information involved and the law that applies, you may contact us to:

  • Ask questions about our privacy practices
  • Request access to information when a legal right of access applies
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion when deletion is legally available
  • Change marketing communication preferences
  • Request that your telephone number be placed on our internal do-not-call list
  • Ask for a copy of an applicable financial privacy notice

We may need to verify your identity or authority before acting on certain privacy requests. We may also be unable to delete information when retention is required or permitted by mortgage, financial, consumer-protection, tax, legal, regulatory, fraud-prevention, or recordkeeping requirements.

To submit a request, call (801) 871-3739 , email vahelpcenter@gmail.com , or visit our Contact Us page.

State Privacy & Data Security Laws

VA Help Center operates in the mortgage industry and is subject to federal financial privacy requirements, including applicable provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.

State privacy laws may also apply depending on the residence of the consumer, the type of information, the activity involved, and exemptions contained in a particular state law. Certain comprehensive privacy statutes, including laws in Utah, Texas, and Florida, contain exemptions for financial institutions and/or information regulated under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.

Those exemptions do not eliminate other applicable mortgage, information-security, data-breach, advertising, licensing, recordkeeping, or consumer-protection obligations. VA Help Center will respond to consumer privacy requests and security incidents as required by the laws that apply to the particular information and circumstances.

Florida

VA Help Center follows applicable Florida requirements concerning the protection of personal information, secure disposal of customer records, mortgage advertising, and notification obligations arising from qualifying security breaches.

Texas

VA Help Center follows applicable Texas mortgage-company licensing, disclosure, advertising, privacy, information security, and breach-notification requirements. The required Texas consumer complaint notice appears below.

Utah

VA Help Center follows applicable Utah mortgage licensing, advertising, financial-privacy, information-security, and consumer-protection requirements.

Children's Privacy

VA Help Center's mortgage products and services are intended for adults. Our Website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children under 13 through this Website.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us through the Website, please contact us so that we can review the matter and take appropriate action.

Third-Party Websites & Services

Our Website may contain links to third-party websites or services. VA Help Center is not responsible for the privacy, security, content, or practices of unaffiliated websites or services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those third parties before providing personal information.

We may update this policy as our business practices, technologies, services, or legal requirements change. When we make changes, we will post the updated policy on this Website and revise the "Last Updated" date.

When applicable law requires additional notice or consent for a material change in our privacy practices, we will provide that notice or obtain that consent as required.
