This Website Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (“Farmer Mac,” “we,” or “our”) treats personal information collected or provided in connection with your (“you,” “your,” or “user”) use of the Farmer Mac website located at https://www.farmermac.com (“Site” or “Service”). This Policy applies only to information collected through the Site. It does not address our privacy practices relating to Farmer Mac job applicants, employees, and other personnel. Our separate privacy policy for the Farmer Mac lending and servicing portal is located at https://www.efarmermac.com/SecureAccess/Login.aspx.
Please read this Policy carefully. By visiting the Site or otherwise providing information to Farmer Mac through the Site, you are consenting to the collection, use, and sharing of your information as described in this Policy.
The information that we collect in connection with our Site is controlled by Farmer Mac, which is headquartered in the United States at 2100 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Ste 450N, Washington, DC 20037. As a result, that information may be transferred to and processed in the United States, as described in the section below titled “Information for Individuals Outside the United States.”
Information We Collect
We and our service providers collect a variety of information through the Site. We may collect information from you directly when you provide it to us through the Site. We may also automatically collect certain information about you and your computer, smartphone, or other device when you use, access, or interact with our Site.
Information you provide. You can visit the Site without submitting any information that we can use to identify you directly. However, if you use certain features on the Site, you may be required to provide personal information. For example, if you contact us through the Site (including through our automated chatbot), sign up for updates or presentations, such as webinars we offer, or fill out forms to inquire about becoming an investor or to inquire about farm land loans, we will collect information including, but not limited to, your name, email address, phone number, city, state, the name of your institution and FDIC number, information about your property, your farm loan, and your current lender, your FICO credit score range, as well as any other personal information you provide. We collect information entered into forms even if you do not complete or submit the form.
We do not collect or retain the information you enter into the payment calculator we provide on the Site. The calculator’s functions are performed by your computer and the results are displayed in your browser and viewable only by you (and anyone else you allow to view your screen).
Information collected automatically. When you use our Site, we or our third-party service providers may automatically receive and record certain information. For example, this may include your device’s IP address, user-agent string, information about your use of the Site during your current session and over time (including the pages you view and the files you download), the date and time of your visit, links you click, searches conducted, the website visited before navigating to the Site, your software and hardware attributes (including browser and operating system type and version, device type, and device identifiers), and your general location inferred from IP address. To obtain that information, we or our third-party service providers may use a variety of technologies to recognize your device and collect information about your Site usage, including:
- Server logs. When you use the Site, we automatically receive and record certain information from your computer (or other device) and your browser. To obtain that information, we may use server logs or applications that recognize your device and gather information about its online activity.
- We also use cookies on the Site. Cookies are small files that are stored on your device by your web browser. A cookie allows us to recognize whether you have visited before and may store user preferences and other information. If you are concerned about having cookies on your device, you can set your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being set, allowing you to decide whether to accept it. You can also delete cookies from your device. However, if you choose to block or delete cookies, certain features of the Site may not operate correctly.
- Web beacons, tags, pixels, and similar technologies. The Site or the emails that you receive from us may use an application known as a “web beacon” (also known as a “pixel” or “tag”) and similar technologies. Web beacons are small strings of code that provide a method for delivering a graphic image on a web page or in an email message for the purpose of transferring data. For example, it may allow an email sender to determine whether a user has opened a particular email.
- Mobile advertising IDs. We may use mobile advertising identifiers (such as Apple’s IDFA or Google’s Advertising ID) to collect information for interest-based advertising and analytics purposes, as described in the section below titled “Interest-Based Targeted Advertising and Analytics.”
We may combine information collected through the Site with information that we collect in other contexts, such as information from our email communications or phone calls with you, or information we obtain from third parties. We will treat that combined information in accordance with this Policy. Where a Farmer Mac-specific preference manager or privacy setting is not available, you may be able to utilize third-party tools and features to further restrict our use of automatic data collection technologies. For example, (i) most browsers allow you to change browser settings to limit automatic data collection technologies on websites, (ii) most email providers allow you to prevent the automatic downloading of images in emails that may contain automatic data collection technologies, and (iii) many devices allow you to change your device settings to limit automatic data collection technologies for device applications. Please note that blocking automatic data collection technologies through third-party tools and features may negatively impact your experience using our Service, as some features and offerings may not work properly or at all. Depending on the third-party tool or feature you use, you may not be able to block all automatic data collection technologies or you may need to update your preferences on multiple devices or browsers. We do not have any control over these third-party tools and features and are not responsible if they do not function as intended. For information about the choices you may have in relation to our use of automatic data collection technologies, please refer to the “Interest-Based Targeted Advertising and Analytics” section below.

To communicate with us about your communication preferences, you may email us at communications@farmermac.com. Please note that updates to your communication preferences may require up to 10 days to become effective.
Interest-Based Targeted Advertising and Analytics
We work with certain third parties to collect information to engage in analytics, auditing, research, and reporting. These third parties may use server logs, web beacons, tags, pixels, mobile advertising IDs (such as Apple’s IDFA or Google’s Advertising ID), and similar technologies, and they may set and access cookies on your computer or other device. In particular, our Site uses Google Analytics and Crazy Egg to help collect and analyze certain information for the purposes discussed above. You may learn more about Google Analytics’ data practices by clicking here and opt out of the use of cookies in web browsers by Google Analytics by clicking here. You may opt out of the use of cookies by Crazy Egg here.
We also work with third parties to provide targeted advertising services that are customized based on your online activities over time and across unaffiliated websites and devices (“interest-based advertising”). For example, these third parties may use the fact that you visited our Site to target online ads for Farmer Mac to you on non-Farmer Mac sites. These third parties may also use information about your use of our Site to help target non-Farmer Mac advertisements based on your online behavior in general. These third parties may also use information to establish connections among related web browsers and devices (such as smartphones, tablets, and computers) for advertising, analytics, attribution, and reporting purposes (“cross-device linking”).
In addition to the options described in the section titled “Information collected automatically” above, you may be able to further exercise control over the advertisements that you see by leveraging one or more targeted advertising opt-out programs. For example:
- Digital Advertising Alliance: The Digital Advertising Alliance allows individuals to opt out of receiving online interest-based targeted advertisements from companies that participate in their program. Please follow the instructions at https://www.optout.aboutads.info/?c=2&lang=EN for browser-based advertising and https://www.youradchoices.com/appchoices for app-based advertising to opt out of targeted advertising carried out by our third-party partners and other third parties that participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance’s self-regulatory program.
- Network Advertising Initiative: The Network Advertising Initiative similarly allows individuals to opt out of receiving online interest-based targeted advertisements from companies that participate in their program. Please follow the instructions at https://www.optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1 to opt out of browser-based targeted advertising carried out by our third-party partners and other third parties that participate in the Network Advertising Initiative’s self-regulatory program.
- Platform-Specific Opt-Out Programs: Certain third-party platforms provide individuals the option to turn off targeted advertising for the entire platform (such as certain social media platforms). Please refer to your platform provider’s user guides for additional information about implementing any available platform-specific targeted advertising opt-outs.
Please note that when you opt out of receiving interest-based advertisements through one of these programs, this does not mean you will no longer see advertisements from us or on our services. Instead, it means that the online ads you do see from relevant program participants should not be based on your interests. We are not responsible for the effectiveness of, or compliance with, any third parties’ opt-out options or programs or the accuracy of their statements regarding their programs. In addition, program participants may still use automatic data collection technologies to collect information about your use of our services, including for analytics and fraud prevention as well as any other purpose permitted under the applicable advertising industry program.
Further, please note that the opt-out will apply only to the specific browser or device from which you opt out, so you will need to opt out separately on all of your browsers and devices. If you delete or reset your cookies or mobile advertising identifiers, change browsers, or use a different device, any opt-out cookie or tool may no longer work and you will need to opt out again.
The use of online tracking mechanisms by third parties is subject to those third parties’ own privacy policies and not this Policy. If you prefer to prevent third parties from setting and accessing cookies on your computer or other device, you may set your browser to block cookies.
Third-Party Links
The Site may contain links to websites or services of third parties. If you follow a link to any of these websites or services, please note that these websites and any services that may be accessible through them have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites or services or the information you share through those other websites or services. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave the Site and to read the privacy policies applicable to third-party websites and services. This Policy applies solely to information collected in connection with the Site.
Data Retention
We will usually retain the personal information we collect about you for no longer than reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, and in accordance with our legitimate business interests and applicable law. However, if necessary, we may retain personal information for longer periods of time as required under applicable law or as needed to resolve disputes or protect our legal rights.
To determine the appropriate duration of the retention of personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of personal information and if we can attain our objectives by other means, as well as our legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, and other applicable obligations.
Once retention of the personal information is no longer reasonably necessary for the purposes outlined above, we will either delete or deidentify the personal information or, if that is not possible (for example, because personal information has been stored in backup archives), we will securely store the personal information and isolate it from further active processing until deletion or deidentification is possible.
Information for Individuals Outside the United States
The information that we collect through or in connection with our Site may be transferred to and processed in the United States for the purposes described above. Farmer Mac may also subcontract the processing of your data to, or otherwise share your data with, third parties in the United States or other countries outside your country of residence. The data protection laws in these countries may be different from, and less stringent than, those in your country of residence. By visiting and using the Site, or otherwise providing information to Farmer Mac, you explicitly consent to this transfer and processing.
Children’s Personal information
Our Service is not directed to, and we do not intend to, or knowingly, collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13. If an individual is under the age of 13, they should not use our services or otherwise provide us with any personal information either directly or by other means. If a child under the age of 13 has provided personal information to us, we encourage the child’s parent or guardian to contact us to request that we remove the personal information from our systems. If we learn that any personal information we collect has been provided by a child under the age of 13, we will promptly delete that personal information.
Changes to This Policy
We may revise this Policy periodically in the future. When we make changes to this Policy, we will change the date at the beginning of this Policy. If we make material changes to this Policy, we will notify individuals by email to their registered email address, by prominent posting on this website or our other platforms, or through other appropriate communication channels. All changes shall be effective from the date of publication unless otherwise provided.
