Information Sharing and Disclosure

We share your personal information with other companies so that they can market their products or services to you. If you do not want us to share your personal information with these companies, contact us at CustomerCare@ClientConsent.org.

We share personal information about you under the following circumstances:

Loan Products or Service Requests - If you submit a request for quotes for a loan product or service offered through this website, we will share the personal information contained in your request form (such as your full name, address, telephone number, property location, self-assessed value) with third parties, which include banks, mortgage lenders and brokers, and lead aggregators (collectively, "Lender" or "Lenders") in our client network to process and fulfill your request. In some circumstances, we may obtain additional information about you and/or share that information with Lenders in our network.

ClientConsent.org is required to comply with federal and state privacy regulations. By submitting your request to ClientConsent.org, you understand that Lenders may contact you by telephone (on a recorded line), automated calling, email, or regular mail based on the information you provided to us in order to process and fulfill your request, even if you have opted into the National Do Not Call List administered by the Federal Trade Commission, any state equivalent Do Not Call List, or the Do Not Call List of an internal company. If one of the Lenders contacts you and you wish not to be contacted again by that Lender with respect to your inquiry, then you should specifically make a request to that Lender not to contact you again. Please note that the Lenders may maintain the information you provided whether you elect to use their services.

Other Products or Service Requests If you submit a request for a product or service other than a loan such as Internet access, insurance or long distance service, you will be asked to provide your personal information (such as your full name, address, telephone number and email address). The personal information you submit is either: collected by ClientConsent.org and shared with the particular business partner operating the service or providing the product you requested or is provided directly to the business partner. Where the service is operated by one of our business partners, the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information will be subject to that business partners' privacy pledge. Our business partners may contact you by telephone, email, or regular mail based on the information you provided to us, even if you have opted into the National Do Not Call List administered by the Federal Trade Commission, any state equivalent Do Not Call List, or the Do Not Call List of an internal company. If one of our partners contacts you by telephone and you wish not to be contacted again by that business partner with respect to your inquiry, then you should specifically make a request to that partner not to contact you again.

Vendors - We sometimes disclose the information we collect to companies that operate various services for us such as marketing distribution, advertising, processing resumes, or certain product functionalities. These vendors only have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, and may not share it with others or use it for any other purpose.

Job Postings - We allow for the online submission of resumes and employment related information. Please note that the information (including personal information) collected through the online job application process on the Career section of our website is not subject to this Privacy Pledge. However, we want to assure you that information obtained from our job site will be used solely for the purpose of accepting and evaluating your submission for possible employment and the related purposes described on our Career page.

Subsidiaries, Parent or Sister Companies - We may share personal and demographic information about you with our subsidiaries, parent company, or sister companies to give you more options to your customer requests and provide you better service. If you do not want your information shared in this manner, please email us at CustomerCare@ClientConsent.org

Aggregate, Non-Personal, or De-identified Information. We may share aggregated information (i.e., information about you and other customers collectively, but not specifically identifiable to you) and other non-personal, de-identified, or anonymous information we collect with third parties, including affiliates to develop and deliver targeted advertising on our Site and on the websites of third parties. If you would prefer that we do not utilize cookies with your website experience, or would prefer to restrict the use of cookies with network advertising partners, please see the "Offering You Choices" section below.

As Permitted by Law - We may be required to share your personal information with law enforcement or government agencies in response to subpoenas, court orders, federal/state audits or similar legal process. We believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of ClientConsent.org or as otherwise required by law.

Business Transfer - As with any other business, it is possible that ClientConsent.org, Inc. in the future could merge with or be acquired by another company. If such an acquisition occurs, the successor company would have access to the information maintained by ClientConsent.org, including your personal information, customer and business account information, but would continue to be bound by this pledge unless you consent otherwise. You will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on our Web site of any change in ownership or material changes to the uses of your personal information, as well as any changes to choices you may have regarding your personal information.

How We Respond to “Do Not Track” Signals - Some web browsers provide a "Do Not Track" feature that sends a signal to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. We do not respond to Web Browser “Do Not Track” signals at this time.

Advertisements and Third Party Ad Servers

We partner with a third party to either display advertising on our Web site or to manage our advertising on other sites. For instance, when visiting a third party website, you may receive a banner advertisement, a "pop up" window advertising ClientConsent.org, or a displayed a text link on the third party site. Please note that such advertisements are served by the third party website that you have visited and are not controlled by ClientConsent.org. In addition, such advertisements may be placed by third party ad servers or ad networks such as Google Marketing Platform, Google Ad Sense or any other. Our third party partner may use technologies such as cookies and action tags to gather information about your activities on this site and other sites in order to provide you advertising based upon your browsing activities and interests. Please note this does not opt you out of being served ads. You will continue to receive generic ads.

Tracking Technologies

Technologies such as: cookies, beacons, tags and scripts are used by ClientConsent.org Inc. and our marketing partners, display advertising network partners, affiliates, and other campaign performance tracking and analytics service providers. These technologies are used in analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users' movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies by these companies on an individual as well as aggregated basis.

We generally use cookies to reduce the time it takes for pages to load on your computer, to assist with customer tracking, to store the traffic source or marketing campaign that explains how you reached our site and to deliver targeted advertising on our website, websites owned by our sister companies, or websites of third parties.

Confidentiality and Security

The security of your personal information is very important at ClientConsent.org and we take a number of steps to safeguard it. For example, we limit access to personal information to those employees or agents who assist us in providing requested products and services to you and maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal standards to guard personal information about you.

When you enter sensitive information (such as a Social Security number) on our order forms, we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL).

We follow generally accepted standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you have any questions about security on our Web site, you can contact us at CustomerCare@ClientConsent.org.

Surveys

We may provide you the opportunity to participate in surveys on our site. If you participate, we will request certain personal information from you. Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code). We use this information for market research purposes and to improve our services. We will occasionally provide anonymized aggregated statistics about our users in reports to third parties. These reports will not identify individual users.

We may use a third party service provider to conduct these surveys; that company will be prohibited from using our users’ personal information for any other purpose.

Third Party Links

This Privacy Pledge applies to all information that you provide to ClientConsent.org. However, when you visit websites to which ClientConsent.org links, keep in mind you will be interacting with a third party that operates under its own privacy and security policy. If you choose to obtain certain services through a third party site, the data collected by the third party is governed by that third party′s privacy pledge. A third party site will also have its own policy regarding the use of cookies and clear gifs. We encourage you to review the privacy pledges of any other service provider from whom you request services.

Social Media Features

Our Web site includes Social Media Features, such as the Facebook Like button. This Feature may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our site, and may set a cookie to enable the Feature to function properly. Social Media Features and Widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Site. Your interactions with these Features are governed by the privacy pledge of the company providing it.
