Privacy Philosophy
Debco.com believes that online privacy is crucial for the ongoing success of
the Internet as a service, commercial and entertainment medium. We collect
personal
information from you in order to provide you with information about our services.
In registering for certain services offered by Debt Consolidation Help you may be asked to
provide your name, mailing address, e-mail address, zip code, telephone number
and other personal information about you. We request this information from
you so that we can provide you with the personalized service necessary to
meet our goal of making our sites and our business a valuable service to
you! However, unless you designate otherwise, the personal information you
provide will be known only to you and to Debt Consolidation Help. It will always be your choice
to provide this information to Debt Consolidation Help affiliates. If others want this information,
including your name or your email address, we will provide it only if you

Information We Collect
Information gathered online can generally be categorized as either anonymous or personally identifiable. Anonymous information is information that cannot be traced back to a specific individual. For example, Debt Consolidation Help knows how many web surfers have visited our sites on a given day, but we do not know the names, e-mail addresses or gender of the people visiting us.
Personally identifiable information is information you provide that lets us know specific facts about you so that we can deliver to you a specific service or product you have requested. This information can include your name, telephone number, address, zip code, etc.
Gathering and Use of Personally Identifiable Information
Our Web site uses an input form for clients and potential clients to request information about our services. To make a request, individuals are required to provide their contact information and personal information about their finances (“Personal Information”).
Any information that you send to us may be collected and maintained in a file specific to you. Please note that unique identifiers, such as social security numbers, may be used as account numbers in our internal record system.
The Personal Information that is collected is used to help determine your suitability for our services and to customize your experience in the event that you are accepted into our program.
Your Personal Information is also used for the purposes of providing debt negotiation services and is used to get in touch with the client, when necessary. The client may be contacted via telephone, U.S. Mail, or e-mail in the future to notify the client of new services that we think they may be interested in.
We may use Personal Information collected in order to send you information about our services, to fulfill your requests, to perform internal research, to respond to your inquiries or to contact you when necessary.
Your Personal Information may also be used along with information collected from our other users to create various forms of statistical data. Such statistical data, which generally does not contain information that is identifiable to any individual user, may be shared with our partners, employees, third party vendors, independent contractors, and affiliates.
Third party vendors or independent contractors engaged by this company may have access to your Personal Information in order to perform their services. Under no circumstances will any said third party vendor or independent contractor be permitted to use your Personal Information for any other purpose but to assist us with our business. We require all third party vendors or independent contractors engaged by this company to comply with our Privacy Policy, maintain the confidentiality of your Personal Information and to comply with applicable federal and state laws.
Please note that we reserve the right to disclose Personal Information for legal purposes, for the protection of this web site, for the protection of Debt Consolidation Help (or any of its partners, employees, third party vendors, independent contractors or affiliates) and/or for the protection of other users of our web site. Specifically, we reserve the right to disclose Personal Information as allowed by law or share your Personal Information with third parties if required by law to do so, or if we believe such action is necessary to either: (a) conform with the requirements of the law or to comply with legal process served upon us, (b) protect or defend our legal rights or property, this web site, or other users of this web site, or (c) investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, or situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person.
We agree to be bound by all principles of confidentiality as required by law. However, due to the existing regulatory environment, we cannot ensure that all of your private communications and Personal Information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), we may be forced to disclose information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. We can (and you authorize us to) disclose any information about you to law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate, in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements, or other activity that is illegal or may expose us to legal liability.
Therefore, although we use industry standard practices to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your Personal Information or private communications will remain private.
Gathering and Use of Anonymous Information
Each time a visitor comes to an Debt Consolidation Help Web site, we collect some information from the visit to improve the overall quality of the online experience, including product and service monitoring, product and service improvement, and targeted advertising. At the Debt Consolidation Help Web sites, we collect the visitor's domain name (e.g. whether the user is logged on from aol.com or cerfnet.net), referral data (e.g., we record the address of the last URL a user visited prior to clicking through to an Debt Consolidation Help Web site), and browser and platform type (e.g., an Internet explorer browser on a NT platform).
In addition to collecting these types of information, Debt Consolidation Help collects aggregate queries for internal reporting and targeted advertising. We also count, track, and aggregate the visitor's activity into our analysis of general traffic flows at our sites (e.g. tracking where traffic comes from, how traffic flows within the Debt Consolidation Help properties, etc.). To these ends, we may merge information about you into group data, which may then be shared on an aggregated basis with our advertisers; but Debt Consolidation Help will not disclose your individual identity or personal data without your permission. When Debt Consolidation Help does present aggregated information to outside companies, no one will be able to identify or contact you.
When appropriate, users will be given the opportunity to receive information from third-party organizations in connection with services or events offered by Debt Consolidation Help. This option may be made available through a Debt Consolidation Help Web site registration and/or through registration processes maintained by a participating third party. In all cases, you will be informed before you register for the event or service that a third party will be receiving the registration information you provide and you will have the option not to participate in any service or event that requires third party involvement.
