The privacy and security part is not inspiring confidence. Scrolling to the next section got me thinking "Don't get scammed at closing, get scammed before closing after uploading your mortgage documents to a random website."

Cool idea though.

What sensitive data do you think is on a loan estimate? I've received a dozen over the years and it's literally just your name and the address of the property you want to buy. Both of which are public information if you do purchase the property.

You are also signalling that you have enough money to buy said house and are actively in the process of doing so which makes you a mark. And if there is a whole DB of this info readily available...

Anyways the security could be fine. But if a user's primary action is uploading that document then maybe wanna have more than a quick sentence on it.
