Personal Information Collected as a Third Party Service Provider

In almost all cases that Black Knight is receiving Personal Information and in some cases Browsing Information, we are acting as a third party service provider to a Lender, Servicer or mortgage broker. In such cases, we may collect or receive Personal Information about or from individuals for the sole purpose of providing services to or on behalf of such Lenders, Servicers or mortgage brokers. In cases where Black Knight is providing services to or on behalf of such Lenders, Servicers or mortgage brokers, we do not share consumer information with third parties, other than (1) those with which the Lender or Servicer has contracted to interface with the Black Knight consumer application, (2) those which Black Knight has contracted with in provision of those services, (3) law enforcement or other governmental authority in connection with an investigation, or civil or criminal subpoenas, court orders, discovery, or legal process, or (4) as directed by the Lender or Servicer. The privacy notices of those Lenders, Servicers or mortgage brokers shall apply, and you should refer to those privacy notices and/or contact your Lender, Servicer or mortgage broker to understand how your Personal Information and Browsing Information will be used by such Lenders, Servicers or mortgage brokers.

For some Black Knight Websites, we may be acting as a third party service provider to a Lender or Servicer. In those instances, we may collect certain information on behalf of that Lender or Servicer. During these transactions, we may collect some or all of the information on behalf of the Lender or Servicer that is described in the section below titled Types of Information Collected for the purposes outlined in the Use and Retention of Collected Information section. Black Knight also provides applications and other software services to Lenders, Servicer or mortgage brokers, including mobile applications.

During these transactions, we may collect some or all of the information on behalf of the Lender or Servicer that is described in the section below titled Types of Information Collected for the purposes outlined in the Use and Retention of Collected Information section.

The information you submit is then transferred to your Lender or Servicer by way of our services. The Lender or Servicer is responsible for taking action or making changes to any consumer information that is submitted through the Website. For example, if you believe that your payment or user information is incorrect, you must contact your Lender or Servicer.

Generally, we retain the information that you submit to us for 90 days. In some instances, we may retain the information for up to 270 days or longer. After 90 days (or 270 days, as applicable), we may destroy all of the customer data and information that was submitted to us. If we receive a timely request from you, we will handle that request in accordance with the Choices with Your Information section below.

If you are receiving consumer services and have questions regarding the choices you have with regard to your Personal Information or how to access or correct your Personal Information, you should contact your Lender or Servicer. We are not responsible or liable for the content, privacy policies, or practices of third parties.
