common requirements to those laws, the definitions and duties differ significantly from law-to-law and state-to-state.
A privacy statement drafted to comply with all of the applicable privacy laws and their differing definitions would
likely be confusing. Therefore, in an attempt to better communicate our privacy policies, WFG designed this “Plain
English” explanation, followed by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act model form and State-Specific Privacy Notices in
order to provide you with the complete, legal privacy notices and disclosures required under Federal and applicable
State Laws.
WFG’s primary business is providing appraisal, title insurance and, escrow services for the sale or refinance of real
property. This can be a complicated process, involving multiple parties, many of whom have been selected by our
customers, each filling a specialized role. In part, you have hired WFG to coordinate and smooth the passage of the
information necessary for an efficient settlement or closing.
In the course of this process, WFG collects a significant amount of personal and identifying information about the
parties to a transaction, including sensitive items that include but are not limited to: your contact information
including email addresses, Social Security numbers, driver’s license and, other identification numbers and
information; financial, bank and insurance information; information about past and proposed mortgages and loans;
about properties you currently or previously owned; your mortgage application package; and the cookie, IP
address, and other information captured automatically by computer systems.
Much of this information is gathered from searches of public land records, tax, court and credit records to make
certain that any liens, challenges, or title defects are addressed properly. Some of the information that is collected
is provided by you, or the computer systems you use. We also may receive information from real estate brokers
and agents, mortgage brokers and, others working to facilitate your transaction. We also may receive information
from public, private or governmental databases including credit bureaus, ‘no-fly’ lists, and terrorist ‘watch lists’ , as
well as from your lenders and credit bureaus.
What Information is Shared?
WFG DOES NOT SELL any of your information to non-affiliated companies for marketing or any other
purpose.
However, some of the same information does get shared with persons inside and outside the WFG Family in order
to facilitate and complete your transaction.
For example:
Information, draft documents, and closing costs will pass back and forth between WFG and your mortgage
broker and lender to facilitate your transaction.
Information, including purchase agreements and amendments, will pass back and forth between WFG and
the real estate agents and brokers, the mortgage brokers and lenders, your lawyers and accountants, and
others involved in facilitating the transaction.
WFG may order property searches and examinations from title searchers, abstractors and title plants.
WFG may use third parties to obtain tax information, lien information, payoff information, condominium and,
homeowners’ association information and payoff information.
Third parties may be engaged to prepare documents in connection with your transaction.
Surveys, appraisals and, inspections may be ordered.
Within the WFG Family of companies, we may divide up the work to handle each closing in the most
efficient and compliant manner possible and to meet specific legal and licensing requirements. Certain
Order No. 20-238286

WFG Privacy Policy
parts of your closing (for example a search or disbursement) may be handled by another division or
company within the WFG family.
When it is time for signatures, your complete closing package may be sent to a notary, remote online
notary, or notary service company who will arrange to meet with you to sign documents. The notary will, in
turn, send signed copies back to us along with copies of your driver’s license or other identity documents
usually by mail, UPS, Federal Express or another courier service.
Your deed, mortgage and other documents required to perfect title will be recorded with the local recorder
of deeds.
In some cases, we use an outside service to coordinate the recording or electronic-recording of those
instruments, and they will receive copies of your deeds, mortgages and other recordable documents to
process, scan and send on to the recording office.
Various government agencies get involved. The law requires us to provide certain information to the IRS,
the US Treasury, local and state tax authorities and other governmental agencies.
You have a choice in the selection of a mortgage broker, lender, real estate broker or agent and others that make
up your ‘transaction team.’ Information flows to and from the members of the transaction team you have selected to
facilitate an efficient transaction for you.
When WFG selects and engages a third-party provider, we limit the scope of the information shared with that third
party to the information reasonably necessary for that service provider to provide the requested services. With
most, we have entered into express agreements in which they expressly commit to maintain a WFG customer’s
information in strict confidence and use the information only for purposes of providing the requested services,
clearing title, preventing fraud and addressing claims under our title insurance policies.
How does WFG use your Information?
We may use your personal information in a variety of ways, including but not limited to:
Provide the products, services and title insurance you have requested and to close and facilitate your
transaction.
Coordinate and manage the appraisal process.
Handle a claim or provide other services relating to your title insurance policies.
Create and manage your account.
Operate and improve WFG’s applications and websites, including WFG MyHome WFG’s secure
communication and transaction portal. Your information is used for access management, payment
processing, site administration, internal operations, troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, research, and
for statistical purposes.
Respond to your requests, feedback, or inquiries.
Comply with laws, regulations, and other legal requirements.
Comply with relevant industry standards and our policies, including managing WFG’s risk profile through
reinsurance.
Protect and enforce your rights and the rights of other users against unlawful activity, including identity theft
and fraud.

or any other third party;
Protect the integrity and maintain security of our applications, websites, and products;
Operate, evaluate, and improve our business; and
Provide you with information about products, services, and promotions, from WFG or third parties that may
interest you.
How Do We Store and Protect Your Personal Information?
Although no system can guarantee the complete security of your personal information, we will use our best efforts
to maintain commercially reasonable technical, organizational, and physical safeguards, consistent with applicable
law, to protect your personal information and our systems and sites from malicious intrusions or hacking.
How Long Do We Keep Your Personal Information?
We keep your personal information for as long as necessary to comply with the purpose for which it was collected,
our business needs, and our legal and regulatory obligations. We may store some personal information indefinitely.
Order No. 20-238286

WFG Privacy Policy
If we dispose of your personal information, we will do so in a way that is secure and appropriate to the nature of the
information subject to disposal.
Computer Information
When you access a WFG website, or communicate with us by e-mail, we may automatically collect and store more
information than you are expressly providing when you fill out a survey or send an email. This may include:
Your IP Address.
Your email address, your alias and, social media handles.
(Internet Protocol Address) and domain name.
The type of browser and operating system you use.
The time of your visit.
The pages of our site you visit.
Cookies.
In order to provide you with customized service, we make use of Web browser cookies. Cookies are files that help
us identify your computer and personalize your online experience. You may disable cookies on your computer, but
you may not be able to download online documents or access certain sites unless cookies are enabled.
The technical information we collect is used for administrative and technical purposes and to prevent fraud and
provide identity verification. For instance, we may use it to count the number of visitors to our site and determine
the most popular pages. We may also use it to review types of technology you are using, determine which link
brought you to our Web site, assess how our advertisements on other sites are working, help with maintenance,
and improve our customers’ experience.
We may compare information gathered on previous visits to verify that we are interacting with the same parties and
not a potential imposter.
If we ask you to fill out any forms or surveys, we will use the information we receive only for the specific purposes
indicated in those forms or surveys.
The information you and your transaction team send us in emails or attached to an email, or provide through any of
our online tools, is used for purposes of providing title, escrow and appraisal management services and used for
the purposes described above.
Links to Third Party Sites
Our Applications and Websites may contain links to third-party websites and services. Please note that these links
are provided for your convenience and information, and the websites and services may operate independently from
us and have their own privacy policies or notices, which we strongly suggest you review. This Privacy Notice
applies to WFG’s applications and websites only.
Do Not Track
Because there is not an industry-standard process or defined criteria to permit a user to opt-out of tracking their
online activities (Do Not Track or DNT), our websites do not currently change the way they operate based upon
detection of a "Do Not Track" or similar signal. Likewise, we cannot assure that third parties are not able to collect
information about your online activities on WFG websites or applications.
Social Media Integration
Our applications, websites, and products contain links to and from social media platforms. You may choose to
connect to us through a social media platform, such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc. When you do, we may
collect additional information from or about you, such as your screen names, profile picture, contact information,
contact list, and the profile pictures of your contacts, through the social media platform. The social media platforms
may also collect information from you.
When you click on a social plug-in, such as Facebook's "Like" button, Twitter's "tweet" button or the Google+, that
particular social network's plugin will be activated and your browser will directly connect to that provider's servers.
Your action in clicking on the social plug-in causes information to be passed to the social media platform.
Order No. 20-238286

WFG Privacy Policy
We do not have control over the collection, use and sharing practices of social media platforms. We, therefore,
encourage you to review their usage and disclosure policies and practices, including their data security practices,
before using social media platforms.
How Can You “Opt-Out?”
We do not sell your information; therefore there is no need to opt-out of such reselling. Under various laws, you
can opt-out of the sharing of your information for more narrow purposes. For additional detail, consult the Links
under the “Legal” Notices attached below.
The “Legal” Notices
To comply with various federal and state laws, we are required to provide more complete legal notices and
disclosures. In reviewing these, you will find that these notices incorporate the definitions and terminology used in
the respective privacy laws which can often be somewhat convoluted and may even seem inconsistent with the
descriptions above. The state-specific statutes may also give residents of those states additional rights and
remedies.

Order No. 20-238286
Page 7 of 11
WFG Privacy Policy
PRIVACY NOTICE FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
This PRIVACY NOTICE FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS supplements the information contained in the Privacy
Statement of WFG NATIONAL TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY and its parent, subsidiaries and affiliates
(collectively, “WFG” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and applies solely to customers, parties to real estate transactions, visitors,
users, and others who reside in the State of California (“consumer” or “you”). We have adopted this notice to
comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) and other California privacy laws. Any terms
defined in the CCPA have the same meaning when used in this notice.
Your Rights as a California Consumer
Under California Law, you have the right to request that WFG disclose what personal information we collect, use,
disclose, and sell. You have the right to opt-out of a sale of your personal information, and you may request the
deletion of your personal information. You will not receive discriminatory treatment by WFG if you exercise any of
your privacy rights under CCPA.
You may also designate an authorized agent to make a request under the CCPA on your behalf.
These are not absolute rights, they are subject to exceptions and limitations which we are happy to discuss as they
may apply to your particular circumstances and the services you have engaged WFG to supply.
If you would like to exercise any of these rights or to designate an authorized agent, you may start the process by:
Emailing us at consumerprivacy@willistonfinancial.com
Going to http://bit.ly/WFGsConsumerPrivacyInformationRequestPage
Calling us at: 833-451-5718; or
Going into any WFG office and making the request in person.
In exercising any of these rights, we must make absolutely certain we are dealing with you or your authorized
agent. So depending on how you submit your request, we will be asking you to confirm your identity, which may
include providing additional documentation or information to verify it is really you, and we may send a notary or
other person to meet with you in person or require you to come into a WFG office to verify your identity. Some of
the identification process may be handled through an online portal and may include knowledge-based identification
questions.
Information We Collect
WFG’s primary business is providing appraisal, title and escrow services for the sale or refinance of real estate.
This can be a complicated and legalistic process. In part, you have hired WFG to centralize and smooth the
passage of all the information necessary for your real estate transaction and to have us coordinate a smooth and
efficient closing. In the course of providing those services to you, we collect a significant amount of personal
information.
We do not knowingly collect, maintain or use personal information from children under the age of 18 and no part of
our Services are directed or targeted to children. If you become aware that a child under the age of 18 has provided
WFG with personal information in violation of this Privacy Policy, please alert us at
Consumerprivacy@willistonfinancial.com.
The CCPA requires us to list the statutory categories of consumers’ personal information that we have collected
about any consumers in the preceding 12 months. Much of this information is gathered from our searches of the
land, tax, court and credit records to make certain that any liens, challenges, or title defects are addressed properly.
Some of it is provided by you, or your computer systems. Some come from real estate agents and brokers,
mortgage brokers and others working to facilitate your transaction, and some are provided by your lenders and
credit bureaus. Here’s how it breaks down:

WFG Privacy Policy
Disclosure of Personal Information for a Business Purpose
WFG DOES NOT SELL your information for monetary or other valuable consideration for marketing or any
other purpose.
However, some of your information does get shared, and within the last 12 months has been shared with persons
outside of the WFG family of companies in order to better facilitate and complete your transactions and for other
business and commercial purposes.
For example:
WFG may order property searches and examinations from title searchers, abstractors and title plants.
WFG may use third parties to obtain tax information, lien information, mortgage payoff information,
condominium, and homeowners’ association information and payoff information.
WFG may engage third parties to prepare documents in connection with your transaction.
WFG may order surveys, appraisals, and inspections and/or communicate with those service providers.
Those services can’t be ordered without providing basic information about the property involved, the parties, and/or
the liens to those service providers.
Within the WFG family of companies, we divide up the work to handle each closing most efficiently and to
meet specific legal and licensing requirements. So certain parts of your closing (for example a search or
disbursement) may be handled by another division or company within the WFG family.
When it is time for signatures, your complete closing package may be sent to a mobile notary, remote
online notary, or notary service company who will arrange to meet with you to sign documents. The notary
will, in turn, send signed copies back to us along with copies of your driver’s license or other identity
documents usually by mail, UPS, Federal Express or other courier service and sometimes by email or
another electronic transmission.
Your deed, mortgage and other documents required to perfect or clarify title will be recorded with the local
recorder of deeds.
We may use an outside service to coordinate the recording or e-recording of those instruments, and they
will receive copies of deeds, mortgages and other recordable documents to process, scan and send on to
the recording office.
Information and draft documents will pass back and forth between WFG and the lenders and mortgage
brokers to facilitate your transaction.
Information, including purchase agreements and amendments, will pass back and forth between WFG and
the Real estate agents and brokers, lenders, the mortgage brokers and others facilitating the transaction;
and
Various government agencies get involved. The law requires us to provide certain information to the IRS,
the US Treasury, local and state tax authorities, recorders of deeds and other governmental agencies.
In resolving claims and mitigating losses, we may engage outside counsel and other service providers
(such as surveyors and appraisers) to assist in resolving the claim.
From time to time, we are required to respond to law enforcement, regulatory, and lender requests and as
required by applicable law, court order, or governmental regulations.

We may not disclose personal or privileged information about you unless we provide you with a disclosure
authorization form that is executed by you or your representative and otherwise complies with certain statutory
requirements. Any such authorization is not valid for more than 24 months and may be revoked by you at any time,
subject to the rights of anyone who relied on the authorization prior to your notice of revocation.
In addition, if your personal or privileged information was collected or received by us in connection with a title
insurance transaction, we cannot disclose such information if the disclosure authorization form that you executed is
more than one year old or if the requested disclosure is for a purpose other than a purpose expressly permitted by
statute.
You have the right at any time to request in writing access to recorded personal information about you that is
reasonably described by you and reasonably available to us. Within 30 days of the date of our receipt of any such
written request from you, we will inform you of the nature and substance of any such information, permit you to see
and copy that information or obtain a copy by mail, disclose the identity, if recorded, of the persons to whom we
have disclosed such information during the previous two years, and provide you with a summary of the procedures
by which you may request that such information be corrected, amended or deleted.
