    Hi guys,

    New to this forum and got question for the mortgage brokers in the forum.

    I've recently seek broker service and they forward me their aggregator's privacy disclosure statement below.

    I'm particularly concerned about highlighted region and wonder if this is a normal wording for all aggregator.

    Haven't signed it yet and any thoughts will be appreciated.
    Thank you.
