Privacy Policy

DEBTEAZE, (referred to as “DE®,” “we,” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to maintaining and using your information responsibly. This privacy policy addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you from any of the DEBTEAZE websites, including www.DebtEaze.com (collectively referred to as the “Site”), and from those who otherwise may provide us with their information offline. By visiting the Site or otherwise providing us with your information, you are accepting the practices described in this privacy policy.

1. Collection of Information
We collect the following information from our customers who visit our Site:

1. 1. Personal Information, which is information that specifically identifies an individual (such as first and last name or email address) and non-public financial information.
   2. Non-Personal Information, such as your IP address, or data that is collected via cookies, web beacons, or other technical mechanisms. This information does not identify you personally, but it may provide us with information about your interests and the web sites, products or services that you view. Please note that you may set your browser not to accept cookies, or to warn you when a cookie is being placed on your computer. DE will not place tracking cookies on any computer where the browser provides a “do-not-track” signal. If you choose not to accept cookies, however, your ability to navigate the Site may be hindered. We may also tie this non-personal information with personal information in order to provide you with better recommendations, help authenticate you or other data or information you may provide, prevent fraud, and ensure that the Site or our services meet your needs. We may also use the services of third parties to collect and use anonymous information about your visits to and interactions with our website through the use of technologies such as cookies to personalize advertisements for goods and services. To learn more, or to opt-out of receiving advertisements tailored to your interests, visit the Network Advertising Initiative at www.networkadvertising.org/choices 
   3. Aggregate Data, which is non-personal information that may be collected about a group, a category of services or users. Aggregate data helps us understand trends in our users’ needs so that we can improve or tailor our products and services. For example, we may collect data about the searching habits of residents of a particular state, without tying this data to any specific personal information about those residents.
   4. Demographic Information, which may be your gender, age, zip code and interests, which we may obtain from you, or from other third parties. We use this information to provide you with personalized services and to analyze trends to ensure the information provided by DE meets your needs. For example, we may serve you with an advertisement based on the content you view while on our Site.
   5. Geolocation Data, which is your location if you choose to allow DE to track your location or if your personal or non-personal information indicates a certain geographic location. This information may help us provide recommendations to you based on your location, serve you with advertisements or direct you to a product or service that we believe may be of interest to you and that is marketed to people near your location.

We may collect this information from you in the following instances:  

• We may collect your first and last name, mailing address, phone number, email address and non-public financial information if you complete a form to request credit counseling;

• We may collect your first and last name, date of birth and email address if you choose to participate in a contest or sweepstakes.

The above list provides an example of the personal information that may be collected by DE. If you do not want DE to collect your information, please do not provide it to us.

2. Use of Information
We use your personal information primarily for the following purposes:

• To answer questions you send us;

We use non-personal information in the same way that we use personal information, and in other ways as permitted by applicable laws, including combining non-personal information with personal information.
