Policy carefully.

WHAT INFORMATION ABOUT ME IS COLLECTED ON OUR WEBSITE?
We collect two types of information: personally identifiable information and
non-personally identifiable information.
Personally Identifiable Information
Personally identifiable information is information that allows you to enroll
and receive benefits in the Debt Management Programs (DMP) offered by ICC.
through this Website. During the online enrollment process we collect a wide
variety of personal and financial data.
Such Personally Identifiable Information may include:
This information is stored to use in enrolling Users in a
DMP. Debt information is used to qualify the User for the program and to make
payments on the User's behalf. Budget information is collected to provide the
User an overview of where Users' money is spent and is required by the
Creditors. The data for those Users who do not complete the online Enrollment process
is kept for internal analysis only.
DOES OUR WEBSITE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM CHILDREN
UNDER 13 YEARS OF AGE?
We are committed to protecting the privacy of children. Our Website is not
designed for or directed to children under the age of 13. We do not collect
Personally Identifiable Information from any person we actually know is under
the age of 13. We urge all parents or guardians to participate in their
children's exploration of the Internet, and to teach their children about
protecting their personal information while online.
WHAT DOES OUR WEBSITE DO WITH THE INFORMATION IT
COLLECTS?
In general, we use the information collected on our Website to help us
understand who uses our Website and how it is used, to personalize your online
experience, to complete your enrollment in a DMP, to assist you in using our
Online Services, and to improve our Website.
If you become a registered User of our Website, we may use your information to
send you a welcoming email that may confirm your User name and password. We may
send you electronic newsletters, contact you about products, services,
information and news that may be of interest to you, and provide you with
targeted feedback.
Opt-out Policy
If you prefer that we do not send you email communications, you may opt-out of
those services, that is, you may direct us not to use your email address as
part of our marketing efforts for new products and services. If you wish to
opt-out of email communications, you may do so by emailing management@indydebtfree.com,
or by replying to an existing email with your request to be removed from the
mailing list. In addition, if you
identify yourself to us by sending us an email with questions or comments, we
may use your information (including Personally Identifiable Information) to
respond to your questions or comments, and we may file your questions or
comments for future reference.
We may also use the information gathered on our Website to perform statistical
analysis of User behavior, to analyze and evaluate issues relating to your DMP,
enrollment behavior and credit education, or to evaluate and improve our Online
Services. We may link some of this information to Personally Identifiable
Information for internal purposes only or to assist you in your debt reduction
efforts.
IS THE INFORMATION COLLECTED ON
OUR WEBSITE SECURE?
We want your information (including Personally Identifiable Information) to
remain as secure as possible. We strive to provide secure transmission of your
information from your computer to our servers through industry-standard
techniques. To help ensure the integrity and privacy of the Personally
Identifiable Information you provide to us via the Internet, at the time you
elect to enroll in our Debt Management Program, we use Secured Socket Layer
(SSL) encryption technology in transmitting such Personally Identifiable
Information over the Internet to our servers. We secure the Personally
Identifiable Information you provide on servers located in controlled, secure
environments, protected from unauthorized access, use, or alteration. Only
employees who need access to your information to perform a specific task or
function are granted access to such information. No personal data is ever
stored on our web servers. Sensitive information is encrypted within our
database, to ensure internal security. In addition, all of our employees must
abide by this Privacy Policy and are kept up-to-date on security practices. Any
employee who violates this Privacy Policy is subject to disciplinary action, up
to and including termination.
Notwithstanding the above commitments to protect your information (including
Personally Identifiable Information) from loss, misuse or alteration by third
parties, you should be aware that there is always some risk involved in transmitting
information over the Internet. There is also some risk that others could find a
way to thwart our security systems. As a result, while we strive to protect
your information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security and privacy of any
information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
WHAT CHOICES DO I HAVE REGARDING THE COLLECTION,
DISCLOSURE AND DISTRIBUTION OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION?
You may "opt out" of sharing your personally identifiable information
with Indy Credit Counselors, Inc. as explained in the Privacy Notice provided
to you on our Website during the online Enrollment process.
CAN I UPDATE OR CORRECT MY PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE
INFORMATION?
You can always contact us in order to update, correct or delete your Personally
Identifiable Information or change your preferences with respect to
communications and other information you receive from us by calling Customer
Services at 317-240-2878. Such updates, corrections and deletions will not have
an effect on the data we are required to maintain by the Creditors and ICC in
order to administer the DMP.
Current customers participating in the online DMP can view, update or change
their personal, contact and occupational information by selecting the Member
Login navigation link off the Website home page, or by contacting Customer
Service at 317-240-2878. You may also change your debt or budget information by
contacting Customer Service as well.
You should be aware that it is not technologically possible to remove each and
every record of the information you have provided to us from our system. The
need to back-up our systems to protect information from inadvertent loss means
that a copy of your Personally Identifiable Information may exist in a
non-erasable form that will be difficult or impossible for us to locate. We
promise that promptly after receiving your request, all Personally Identifiable
Information stored in marketing databases we actively use and other readily
searchable media will be updated, corrected, changed or deleted, as
appropriate, as soon as reasonably practicable.
LIMITATIONS
While our Privacy Policy would cover all prospective DMP clients, ICC’s brand
of credit counseling services is only available for residents of the
United States.
Clients must utilize an US
bank account, have a US
residence, and user's debt must be payable in US currency.
HOW WILL I KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY CHANGES TO THIS
PRIVACY POLICY?
If we decide to change this Privacy Policy, we will post those changes on our
Website so you are always aware of what information we collect, how it is used,
and under what circumstances, if any, it is disclosed. If at any point
Personally Identifiable Information will be used in a manner significantly
different from that stated in this Privacy Policy, or otherwise disclosed to
you, at the time it was collected, we will prominently post any changes on our
website for 30 days prior to any change. We may also make non-significant
changes to our Privacy Policy that generally will not affect our use of your
Personally Identifiable Information. If you do not agree to the terms of this
Privacy Policy, you should refrain from using our Website.
