By using our website, you are consenting to the use of information and agreeing to these guidelines and the other Nimble policies described on our website.
Nimble does not share your personal information with outside companies (non-affiliated companies) for their promotional use without your consent.
Because we’re in the business of title and settlement services, our websites aren’t for anyone under 18. So, we don’t knowingly attempt to solicit or receive any information from children.
We don’t make our advertising decisions based on political affiliations or in support of, or against, any political or religious group.We firmly believe in the right of free speech, however, we also believe we have an obligation to ensure our advertising does not appear in content that is detrimental to our brand values.We won’t advertise within programs that consistently exploit excessive or gratuitous violence or sexuality, which demean or denigrate any religion, race, sex or which are otherwise lacking in good taste.
Should our advertising appear within programming content that violates these guidelines we’ll review the content in question and make decisions about the appropriateness of that program for future consideration.
WE PROVIDE YOU NOTICE OF OUR WEBSITE INFORMATION PRACTICES.
To maximize the value of our services, we may request information from you when you visit our website. We won’t share your personal information with outside companies for their promotional use, however we do use third party services who may access your information for the purpose of processing your transaction (think an abstractor, underwriter or lender).
Here’s a description of the information we collect and how it’s used/disclosed:
- We may supply the information you provide, on a strictly confidential basis, to service providers, such as lenders, title examiners, abstractors, title attorneys, etc. who assist us in processing and closing your transaction.
- Electronic communication: We provide you the opportunity to subscribe to email communications. You can unsubscribe by following the instructions provided in each communication.
- Mandatory and optional information: We identify what information is required to fulfill your request. If you choose not to provide us with this information, we will not be able to provide you the service you are requesting. As part of your use of our website, we may collect information that may include your name, address, social security number, the location and value of the property related to the requested title and settlement services, financial information about your assets and income, financial accounts, insurance and other information.

For example, we may use service providers to enhance our website technology, deliver products, or to send emails. When we employ service providers, we may need to share your personally identifiable information. Service providers are strictly prohibited from using your personally identifiable information for purposes other than to act on our behalf. Realtors are not considered our service providers. If you have a realtor, we will update them with certain milestones of your transaction, but we will not share your sensitive information with them without your consent.

WE TELL YOU HOW AND WHY WE USE WEB TECHNOLOGIES.
Here is how and why we use some common web technologies to help manage our websites:
- Cookies: A "cookie" is a small piece of information that our website may provide to your browser while you are at our sites. We may use web-based tools, like cookies to see which areas of our site users prefer (e.g., based on the number of visits to those areas) which will help us better market to individual consumers. This is done through a tracking utility that allows us to reconstruct activity from a session or by a user, for troubleshooting and issue resolution purposes. Nimble may also employ service providers to help us collect and understand our website usage data. These service providers may also use cookies. We do not process information through cookies to identify a particular individual. Cookies are stored on your device and you have full access and control over their use. You may deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings of your web browser. Cookies that are already stored may be deleted at any time. If you visit our website with cookies deactivated, you may not be able to use all the functions of our site fully. When periodic surveys are presented to website visitors, cookies are used to prevent issuing multiple invitations to the same individual.
- If you are a registered member on the Nimble Title website, you will receive a cookie when you log in. This cookie is maintained by your browser and contains your identifier. This cookie is also used to authenticate your identity and provide you with access to areas of our website that are limited to registered members, such as those that allow you to view and manage your personal profile.
- Additionally, Nimble service providers that serve ads on affiliate and/or advertiser websites may assign different cookies and small graphical images called single-pixel GIFs or web beacons, to your browser to track the effectiveness of our advertising on other websites and your involvement with Nimble. We may also employ service providers who may assign cookies or web beacons to your browser to assist us in collecting website usage data such as your IP address, session ID, URL and demographic information such as your zip code. The collection of data may include personally identifiable information. We do not track URLs that you type into your browser, nor do we track you across the internet once you leave our site.
- Your web browser may be set to accept cookies automatically, but can be changed to decline them. If you wish to remove cookies provided by Nimble, please check your browser's settings and its Help section for instructions for removing cookies from your browser. If you decline to accept cookies, then you may be required to re-register each time you download or request materials from the website.
- We may use internal or third party advertising companies to collect non-personally identifiable information for online behavioral advertising to provide targeted display advertisements, through participating publishers and advertisers, that are likely to be of greater interest to you. Such information may include non-personally identifiable information (e.g., click stream information, browser type, time and date, subject of advertisements clicked or scrolled over) through the use of cookies and other technology.
- Website usage data: Our website tracks usage data, including, for example, your IP address, your browser type and version, which pages you view, which page, if any, linked you to our site, and which link, if any, you follow off of our site. We use this data in the aggregate and on an individual level to better understand website activity to improve our site offerings, to reconstruct activity from a session or by a user, for troubleshooting and issue resolution purposes. We may also use this data to provide you a more personalized website experience, assistance with technical support questions, to send you special offers, product and service updates, or other promotional materials that are relevant and tailored to your interests. If you do not want to receive these offers or promotions, simply indicate your contact preferences during the registration process, within any future communications to us or by sending an email to optout@makeabeeline.com. We do not share your information with outside companies for their promotional use, however we do use certain functionality from Google and others for data analytics and advertising us and our products on the internet. We have implemented the following features with Google: Tag Manager, Analytics, Optimize & Ads.
- Social media sites and Marketing security practices: We use social media to connect with and market to the public, our customers, and potential customers of the Nimble family. Your activity on third party websites is governed by the security and privacy policies of each third party website. Users of third party websites often share information with the general public, user community, and/or the third party vendors operating these websites, which may use this information in a variety of ways. Consequently, you should review the privacy policies of the third party website before using it and ensure that you understand how this information may be used. You may be able to adjust privacy settings on your accounts on any third party website or application to match your preferences.

In order to maximize these capabilities, we may store some data about you on those platforms.

Upon receiving your request, we will verify your identity using your Personal Information. Then we will process your request.

In order to verify your request, your request must provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or are an authorized representative of such person and describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate and respond to it. The request should include the date of the request, your name, address and telephone number, the type of request (request to know - categories of information, request to know - specific information, request to delete information, etc.) and if applicable, your file number.
We will be unable to respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to you.

For a Request to Know Specific Pieces Report, we may need an additional 45 day extension to respond to your request, as these requests will be burdensome and we will have to work with multiple systems and service providers in order to fulfill your request.
