Draft for Edge Compliance review. Written to match how this site works today. If Edge has standard text, use that instead.
Who we are
This website belongs to Aaron Silverman, a Mortgage Loan Originator (NMLS #957533) with Edge Home Finance, LLC (NMLS #891464). In this policy, "I" and "me" mean Aaron, and "Edge" means Edge Home Finance, LLC. Edge's own website has a separate privacy policy.
What this site collects
Only what you choose to type into a form, plus a few details about how you reached it:
- Contact form: first and last name, email, phone (optional), which state the property is in, what you need help with, how your business is set up (optional), and a short message (optional).
- Guide form: first name, email, phone (optional), and which state the property is in (optional).
- Chat assistant: the buttons you choose, and if you ask to be contacted: name, email, phone (optional), a good time to reach you (optional), and the property's state (optional). The chat assistant is automated; it isn't a person and doesn't use AI.
- Checklist pop-up: name, email, phone (optional), and the property's state (optional).
- Partner form: name, email, phone (optional), your role, your firm (optional), and a short message (optional).
- Your choices: whether you checked the optional consent box for calls and texts, and whether you asked for occasional emails.
- How you reached the form: which form and page you used, what you asked about, which loan programs you opened on this site during your visit (for example, "VA loan"), and the date and time you submitted it. This helps me start our conversation where you left off. The list of loans you opened is kept only in your browser tab until you submit a form or close the tab; it isn't stored in a cookie or used for advertising.
What it doesn't collect
This site never asks for your Social Security number, date of birth, income, credit information, account numbers, or documents. Please don't send them through a form or by email. When you're ready to apply, you'll do that through Edge's secure application instead.
How it's used
- To reply to you and set up a call.
- To send the self-employed guide, if you asked for it.
- To send occasional emails, only if you checked that box.
- To share your details within Edge Home Finance, LLC when another team member can help with your state or your language.
- To keep records Edge and the law require.
Your information isn't sold or rented to anyone.
Calls, texts and email
I'll only call or text you, including with automated tools, if you check the optional consent box on a form. Consent isn't required to work with me. You can withdraw it at any time by telling me by phone or email. Without it, I'll reply by email.
Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link. Replies to your own questions and delivery of the guide you asked for aren't marketing emails.
Who sees it
- Me, and Edge Home Finance, LLC, which supervises my work and keeps records.
- The service providers that run this website, its forms (Formspree), and its scheduling tool, only so they can provide those services.
- Government agencies or others when the law requires it.
Checklists and cookies
If you tick boxes on a checklist, those checkmarks are saved in your own browser so they're still there next time. They never leave your device, and you can clear them by clearing your browser's site data.
This site doesn't use advertising or tracking cookies. It doesn't use analytics tools either. If that changes, this policy will say so.
Analytics and cookies
This site uses analytics tools to understand how visitors use it, such as which pages are viewed and which links are clicked:
- Cloudflare Web Analytics counts visits without cookies.
- Google Analytics 4 uses cookies, and only if you click Accept in the cookie notice. Google uses your IP address to estimate your general location. It isn't used for advertising.
Nothing you type into this site is sent to these tools.
To opt out, click Decline in the cookie notice, or use at the bottom of any page to change your choice. You can also use the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Security
This site uses an encrypted connection. Still, no website or email is perfectly secure, which is why I ask you not to send financial details through forms or email.
If you apply for a loan
Applications go through Edge's secure application, not this website. When you apply, Edge will give you its privacy notice, which explains how your loan information is handled.
Other things to know
- Links: this site links to other sites, such as NMLS Consumer Access and Edge's website. Their privacy practices are their own.
- Children: this site is for adults and doesn't knowingly collect information from children under 13.
- Changes: if this policy changes, the date at the top will change too.
