The Florida Association of Mortgage Brokers respects the privacy of its members.  We believe that electronic commerce is important to today’s business climate.  The data used will only help us better serve our members.  We do not collect any personal information from general users browsing the website. 

The FAMB Membership Directory is online.  Members may access a full member record after logging on to our site as a member of the Association.  Non-Members and consumers will only be furnished with a member’s name, company, address and phone number.  They may also search the records to determine loan specialties and services provided by the member.

Members have access to e-mail addresses, fax numbers and lists of the committees on which members serve as a state committee or board member.  E-mail service is available to any member; however, they may not send bulk e-mail.  They may send messages one e-mail at a time.  Members of the state FAMB Board do have access to the bulk e-mail service as they use this service based on the business relationship you have with FAMB.  Board members must use the service for chapter purposes only and may not use it to solicit employees or promote a product.  Members may request that their e-mail or fax information be eliminated from our site by e-mailing famb@supernet.net. 

The FAMB FOCUS is an opt-in e-mail service.  Our newsletter is published bi-weekly and mailed to subscribers.  If you no longer wish the service, you may unsubscribe when a newsletter is received and your name will automatically be eliminated from the service.

During our annual convention FAMB offers online registration as well as on-site information.  At the time one registers for the convention they are notified that their information will be furnished our exhibitors and sponsors for pre-show and post-show promotions.   This notification is posted above the credit card authorization portion of the site and also posted as policy on the link located on the registration page.  There is no opt-out provision on this site.  Should you not want your information furnished, you must mail in the registration and request that the e-mail be eliminated from the registration record. 

The FAMB does not disclose credit card account information received over the web.  When members and customers pay using credit cards through our website, FAMB staff does not receive the full credit card information.  We utilize locked sites for all online payments through Verisign® and Viaklix®.   Any credit card information furnished via handwritten authorization is maintained in a secure facility.  Personal information is guarded and shredded by a certified shredding company. 

The FAMB web site contains links to other web sites.  FAMB has no control over these sites nor is it responsible for their privacy policies.
