How We Use the Information 

Any of the information we collect from you may be used in the following ways:

• To assist the Monitor in administering the Chase RMBS Settlement. Your information helps the Monitor to evaluate how servicers are treating their customers and whether they are engaged in a pattern or practice of noncompliance with the settlement.
• To assist individuals in advancing their inquiries or complaints about mortgages or mortgage lending practices.
• To communicate with you. The email address or other contact information you provide may be used to send you information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions.
• To improve our website. We use information and feedback we receive from you to improve our website.

When We Share Information

We may share information we collect with other parties. For example, we may share information about you with servicers in order to address their servicing practices. We also may share your information:

• With individuals and organizations who assist the Monitor with his responsibilities pursuant to the settlement;
• With parties to the settlement agreement if reasonably necessary to administration of the settlement and related matters;
• With the financial institution that serviced the mortgage at issue, if you direct us to do so;
• With service providers, who are only authorized to use information to perform services on our behalf or for limited administrative purposes, such as complying with legal requirements;
• When reasonably requested or required by judicial bodies, law enforcement authorities or other government officials;
• When otherwise required by law or in response to legal process;
• When we believe disclosure is appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss;
• When reasonably necessary to an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity;
• As needed to protect the vital interests of an individual; and
• In the event we transfer our responsibilities under the settlement arrangement to another organization or person.
