StartLivingBetter.org is committed to protecting your privacy and developing technology that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience. This Statement of Privacy applies to the StartLivingBetter.org Web site and governs data collection and usage. By using the StartLivingBetter.org website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement. StartLivingBetter.org has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to your privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for the company and any web sites on which this statement appears:
Collection of your Personal Information
StartLivingBetter.org collects personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. StartLivingBetter.org also may collect anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favorites.
There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by StartLivingBetter.org. This information can include your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring Web site addresses. This information is used by StartLivingBetter.org for the operation of the service, to maintain the quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the StartLivingBetter.org Web site.
StartLivingBetter.org uses IP addresses to help diagnose problems with our servers, to administrate our websites, and to keep track of new and repeat visitors. IP addresses are used to gather broad demographic information, not personally identifiable information, which is used strictly within our company. We use cookies for the same purposes. Our information request forms require visitors to give us contact information (like their name, phone number, and email address) and financial information (like their desired loan amount, and their debt situation). The visitor is explicitly informed that they may be contacted by one or more of our customers if they submit the information request form. The visitor’s contact information is shared with other companies who are customers of StartLivingBetter.org that may want to contact our visitors. Each participating customer’s own privacy statement will then apply to this transferred information. In no way is any of the information submitted by the visitors sold to any third parties that are not our customers. Financial information that is collected is used solely by our customers for the purpose of better serving the visitor’s request.
Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through StartLivingBetter.org public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: StartLivingBetter.org does not read any of your private online communications.
StartLivingBetter.org encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to from StartLivingBetter.org so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information. StartLivingBetter.org is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside of the StartLivingBetter.org and StartLivingBetter.org family of Web sites.
Use of your Personal Information
StartLivingBetter.org will contact you by email if you have opted into our email newsletter via our online form.
By submitting your information on one of our industry-specific contact forms you are giving authorization for StartLivingBetter.org, it’s partners, advertisers or service providers to contact you by email or phone even if you have listed yourself on any state or federal Do-Not-Call List. Contact may be via automatic dialing system, text or pre-recorded message. Please find additional TCPA specific disclosures near the submit button of each separate offer.
StartLivingBetter.org collects and uses your personal information to operate the StartLivingBetter.org Web site and deliver the services you have requested. StartLivingBetter.org also uses your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from StartLivingBetter.org and its affiliates. StartLivingBetter.org may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.
StartLivingBetter.org does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. StartLivingBetter.org may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, StartLivingBetter.org may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to StartLivingBetter.org, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.
StartLivingBetter.org does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.
StartLivingBetter.org keeps track of the Web sites and pages our customers visit within StartLivingBetter.org, in order to determine what StartLivingBetter.org services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within StartLivingBetter.org to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.
StartLivingBetter.org Web sites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on StartLivingBetter.org or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of StartLivingBetter.org; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of StartLivingBetter.org, or the public.
Use of Cookies
The StartLivingBetter.org Web site use “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize StartLivingBetter.org pages, or register with StartLivingBetter.org site or services, a cookie helps StartLivingBetter.org to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same StartLivingBetter.org Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the StartLivingBetter.org features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the StartLivingBetter.org services or Web sites you visit.

Our online surveys ask visitors for contact information (like their email address, name, and phone number) and financial information (like their debt history and desired loan amount). The visitor’s contact information may be used by StartLivingBetter.org to contact the visitor for information accuracy verification purposes. Visitors may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below. We run contests on our site in which we ask visitors for contact information (like their email address). We use an outside ad company to display ads on our site. These ads may contain cookies.
