WHAT DOES THIS PRIVACY POLICY COVER?
This Privacy Policy covers what we do with any personal information you may submit or authorize us to obtain, as well as any other information that we may gather when you access any of our websites. This Privacy Policy also covers any of your personal and other information that any of our business partners may share with us.
*Please note that our policies and procedures apply only to websites owned and/or operated by us and not to websites maintained by other companies or to any website to which we may link or to unrelated businesses with which we may share information.
Personal information is any information that you provide to us or authorize us to obtain that identifies you, personally, or that can be logically associated with you. Examples of personal information would be your name, your address, your e-mail address your Social Security Number. Demographic information such as gender, age, zip code, etc., is generally not considered personal information.
We collect and use personal information to respond more completely to your requests for products and services we offer and those of our business partners, as well to service your relationship with us and any account you may have with us. We also collect personal and other information to make you aware of products and/or services that are likely to be of interest to you.
We collect and maintain the information you provide to us, such as: any information you provide to us or to one of our business partners on applications or forms when you request a product or service, such as your income and accounts with others. This information may include your name, your address, your telephone number. Depending upon the product or service you request, you may also be asked to provide additional information, such as the amount of your current unsecured debt and the identity of your creditors, information about your mortgage and other financial and personal information.
Information we receive about your transactions with us, our affiliates or others, such as your account balance, payment history and credit card usage. Information we receive from a third party, such as a credit bureau, about your credit history or employment status. Information, such as your e-mail address, that you provide to us when you register to receive communications from us or when you communicate with us through our customer service facility, or otherwise correspond with us.
We also collect other, non-personal information, which is broadly defined as any information that is not and cannot be directly associated with you. An example of this type of non-personal information would be your zip code.
We use the personal information you supply to us, or that you authorize us to obtain from our family of companies and third parties for a number of purposes, such as to provide to you the service(s) or product(s) that you request, to service your account, and to keep you informed about services that may be of interest to you. We occasionally receive medical or health information from a
customer if, for example, a customer lists a medical debt with us. We do not share medical or health information, including information received from third parties, among our companies, except to maintain accounts, process transactions or service customer requests to the extent permitted by law.
If you submit a request for a product or service, we will share the personal and other information you supply with those product and service providers that have agreed to participate in our network. Generally, these product and service providers are prohibited from using the information we provide to them for any other purpose, including using your information for other, unrelated marketing purposes.
By submitting your request, you are consenting to being contacted by us or by our business partners, through any means, based on the information you provide to us, even if you have opted into the National Do Not Call List administered by the Federal Trade Commission, any state Do Not Call List or the Do Not Call List of any specific institution. If, after you are contacted by that product or service provider; you do not wish to be contacted by that person again you must make a specific request to the product or service provider; not to Helpbuildcredit.com. As permitted by law, we may also share your personal and other information with a third party that provides a service or supplies a specific functionality to us, such as a call center operator. These service providers will be provided only with the information necessary for them to perform their functions and are not allowed to share any of the provided information with others for any purpose whatsoever. Additionally, we may share your personal and other information within our family of companies for several purposes, for example, to process your requests and to keep you informed of services that may be of interest to you. Any person with whom we share your personal information is also required to comply with federal and state privacy regulations and will have its own privacy policies that should be made available to you at the time you are first contacted.
We may be required to share your information with law enforcement or government agencies in response to subpoenas, court orders or other forms of legal process. We may elect to share information when, in our reasonable judgment, such sharing is necessary or appropriate for the investigation or prevention of illegal activities, including actual or suspected fraud, real or potential threats to the physical safety of any person or otherwise as required by law. In addition, if we are merged with, or acquired by, another company the successor company will have access to all of the information collected and maintained by us. In such a circumstance, the successor company would continue to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.
The security of your personal information is a very high priority for us, and we take a number of steps to safeguard it. Some of the measures we take are:
Limiting access to personal information to those employers who are critical to the delivery of products and services to you.
Implementing appropriate physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to guard against unauthorized access or use.
Requiring appropriate consents and protections from our business partners before we share any personally identifiable information.

Sensitive information such as Social Security numbers are encrypted using secure sockets layer encryption from the time of your submission and while it is stored by us. We cannot, however; guarantee or warrant the absolute security of any system or that any information we hold will not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.
We normally retain your personal information for a reasonable time after our customer relationship with you ends, and in any event, generally not less than one (I) year from the date we first collect it. For legal reasons, we may sometimes be required to retain personal information for a longer period.
Under certain circumstances, Federal and/or state law may require us to retain your personal information for different periods of time. We may disclose personal information about former customers to affiliated and other persons in the same way and of the same types as we disclose for customers. Non-personal information may be retained indefinitely.
If you believe there are factual errors in any of the information you have submitted to us, please contact us and advise us of the error. To protect your privacy and security we may require that you verify your identity before we make any requested changes to personal information.
You can always elect not to provide personal information to us, although if you do not complete and submit the information we ask for we may not be able to provide you with the most complete responses or you may not be able to access all the available features.
