AMC is a mortgage broker. We do not lend money or fund loans. We help connect consumers with lenders who may be able to meet their needs.
1. Information We Collect
Information you give us. When you fill out our contact form, we collect:
- Name, email address, and phone number (required)
- The service you are interested in (required)
- Property or loan type, estimated loan amount, and state (optional)
- Your answer to our call/text consent checkbox
We do not ask for sensitive financial information on this Site. Our form does not collect Social Security numbers, dates of birth, bank account details, income, or credit information. Please do not enter that kind of information in any form field or message.
Information collected automatically. The Site and our service providers automatically collect technical information such as your IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, referring website, and visit times, partly through cookies (see Section 4).
Information from others. If you find us through Google Search or our Google Business Profile, we may receive limited information, such as aggregated search data or a review you choose to post publicly.
2. How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to your inquiry and discuss mortgage options with you
- Share your inquiry with lending partners so they can respond to your request (see Section 3)
- Contact you by phone, email, or text message as you have requested or agreed
- Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site
- Understand how visitors use the Site, using aggregated analytics
- Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights and others’ rights
3. How We Share Information
Lending partners. Because AMC is a broker, responding to your inquiry usually means sharing the information you submit with one or more lenders. [[FILL: description of lending partners, e.g., the types of lenders AMC works with and how partners are selected]]. We share only what is reasonably needed for them to evaluate and respond to your request.
Service providers. We use vendors who help us run the Site and our business, such as our website host (Hostinger), our form and email tools (Fluent Forms and Fluent SMTP, together with [[FILL: email delivery provider used by Fluent SMTP]]), and Google for analytics. They may use your information only to provide services to us.
Legal reasons. We may disclose information when required by law, subpoena, or a regulator, or to protect our rights or anyone’s safety.
Business transfers. Information may be transferred as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this Policy.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with unrelated third parties for their own marketing.
4. Cookies and Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 and Google Search Console (through Google’s Site Kit plugin) to measure traffic and Site performance. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as pages visited, time on the Site, and approximate location. We configure analytics so that the contents of our contact form are not sent to Google.

5. Loan Applications and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act
This Policy covers the Site and inquiries made through it. If you go on to apply for a mortgage loan, your application information will be handled under a separate privacy notice required by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), which will be provided to you by AMC and/or the lender at that time. That notice explains how your nonpublic personal financial information is shared and protected, and your choices.
6. Calls and Text Messages (TCPA Consent)
Our contact form includes a consent checkbox. If you check it, you agree that AMC [[FILL: and, if applicable, the specific named lending partner(s)]] may contact you about your inquiry at the phone number you provided, including by calls and text messages that may use automated technology or prerecorded or artificial voice messages.
- Consent is not a condition of receiving any service or obtaining any loan. You can still contact us directly at 312-636-5409 or toll-free at 1-800-898-2108.

8. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, including encrypted (HTTPS) connections, to protect the information we collect. No system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please do not send sensitive financial information through the Site or by regular email.
9. Data Retention
We keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including responding to your inquiry, maintaining business records, and meeting legal, regulatory, and licensing record-keeping requirements.
