How We Use Data Collection Tools

When you visit our website, we use site visit recordation technologies to memorialize site visits, third-party cookies, beacons, tags, and scripts to help collect the categories of information above and aggregated information from your internet browser such as your behavior on our website.

Cookies

Debtbrite may place electronic “cookies” in the browser files of your computer or mobile device when you access Our Services. Cookies are small pieces of text sent by your web browser by a website you visit. Cookies may be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies. Persistent cookies are also known as a stored or permanent cookie because they remain on your device until you delete them or they expire. Session cookies do not stay on your device after you close your browser.

Our Services use both persistent and session cookies. Persistent cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience of Our Services. Session cookies make it easier for you to navigate Our Services.

We use cookies to improve the functionality of Our Services and to track information about how the website is used in order to continually improve it and tailor it to user preferences. In particular, we may use the information we obtain from your use of our cookies to: (i) recognize your computer when you visit the website; (ii) track you as you navigate Our Services; (iii) improve the usability of Our Services; (iv) analyze the use of Our Services; and (v) to personalize the website for the visitor, including targeting advertisements.

Web beacons and other technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use other tools to collect non-personally identifiable data about your use of Our Services, such as through the use of “web beacons” (also known as an Internet tag, pixel tag or clear GIF) and analyzing “click stream” data. Web beacons link web pages to web servers and cookies and may be used to transmit information collected through cookies back to a web server. “Click stream” data is the virtual trail you leave behind while browsing the Internet and viewing our websites. We use web beacons and click stream data to gather data about visits to Our Services. The data may include information about your device, such as your IP address, but does not identify you by name.

Your Choices

Web browsers are usually set to automatically accept cookies. However, you can typically prevent cookies or selectively accept cookies by adjusting the preferences in the “Help” section of your browser. You can also delete cookies that have already been placed on your device.

If cookies are not accepted, there may be some features of Our Services that will not be available and some may not display properly, which may lead to a less smooth or less personalized browsing experience. Blocking cookies will also prevent web beacons from tracking your activity and prevent us from collecting certain other information, such as your IP address, but we still obtain a record of a visit.

Site Recordation Technology

Chat Box Technology

We may also use third-party service providers, such as Intercom, to provide chat services for our clients to communicate with us through our client portal. As you navigate our websites and use the chat systems with Debtbrite, we attempt to protect your privacy to the maximum extent possible. However, some of the information that we receive through this website and your interactions with the chat systems may be tracked, such as the date you communicate with Debtbrite, the last day you contacted Debtbrite and other messages, comments, and conversations made through the chat messages. The chat system collects the information that you voluntarily type in the chat box when you initiate a query through the chat system and respond to a query from the chat system. Additionally, when you are using our chat system, it collects interactions that you have made in the chat system while communicating with a Debtbrite customer service representative.

Third-Party Analytics

We use automated third-party analytics services, such as Google Analytics or Facebook Pixels, to evaluate the use of Our Services and to help us improve Our Services, performance, and user experiences. These entities may use cookies and other tracking technologies to perform their services. We do not share your name and contact information with these third-party analytics providers; however, the information generated by the cookies about your use of the Site (including your IP address) may be transmitted to and stored by these providers on servers in the United States. These service providers may use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity for website operators, and provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

Third-Party Advertising Networks

We use third parties such as network advertisers to serve advertisements on third-party websites or other media (e.g., social networking platforms). This enables us and these third parties to target advertisements to you for products and services in which you might be interested. Third-party ad network providers, advertisers, sponsors, and/or traffic measurement services may use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (including clear GIFs), Flash cookies, and other tracking technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content to you. These third-party cookies and other technologies are governed by each third party’s specific privacy policy, not this Privacy Policy. We may provide these third-party advertisers with information about you.

How We Respond to Do Not Track Signals

How do we respond to Internet browser Do Not Track (“DNT”) signals or other mechanisms that provide consumers the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of personally identifiable information about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services?

We do not currently respond to web browser “Do Not Track” because we do not track individual users across the web.

May other parties collect personally identifiable information about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across different websites when a consumer uses  Debtbrite Services?

No.

We take reasonable security precautions to secure the personally identifiable information that you choose to provide against the loss, misuse, alteration, or unauthorized access of such information.

Notice to California Residents

In response to a California law, we will automatically treat individuals with California addresses or telephone numbers (when disclosed to us) as if you requested us to not share your information with nonaffiliated third parties except as permitted by the applicable California law. We will also limit the sharing of information about you with our affiliates to comply with California privacy laws that apply to us.

California’s “Shine The Light” law permits consumers who are California residents, to request and obtain from us once a year, free of charge, information about the categories of personal information (as defined in the Shine the Light law), if any, that we disclosed in the preceding calendar year to third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes. Our disclosure requirements apply only if we share our consumers’ personal information with third parties for them to directly market their own products to those consumers, instead of assisting us with our own business. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, contact us as provided in the “Contact Us” section below.

In compliance with the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), please see the California Privacy Notice.\

Notice to Vermont Residents

Business Transfers
