This policy is effective as of and was last updated on April 28, 2013.
This privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") is designed to inform you about the type of information that Horizon Interactive, LLC ("Company", "We," "Our" or "Us") may gather about and/or collect from you in connection with your use of debt.com ("Site"). It also is intended to explain the conditions under which we may use and/or disclose such information to any third parties, and your rights in relation to that information.
This Site is not intended for persons under eighteen (18) years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from persons under eighteen.
We collect both Non-Personally-Identifying Information and Personally-Identifying Information from you. "Non-Personally Identifiable Information" is information which, without the aid of additional information, could not be directly associated with any specific person or entity. "Personally Identifiable Information" is information such as a name or email address that, without additional information, can be directly associated with a specific person or entity.
Like most site operators, we gather from you Non-Personally-Identifiable Information of the sort that web browsers, depending on their settings, may make available. This information includes, without limitation, your Internet Protocol ("IP") address, operating system and browser type, and the locations of the web pages you view just prior to arriving at, while navigating and immediately after leaving this Site.
A "Web Cookie" is a string of information that a site stores on your computer, and that your browser provides to the Site each time you submit a query. We use Web Cookies to track the pages you visit during each Site session, both to help us improve your experience within the Site and to help us understand how this Site is being used.
IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO HAVE WEB COOKIES PLACED ON YOUR COMPUTER, YOU SHOULD ADJUST YOUR BROWSER SETTINGS TO REFUSE WEB COOKIES BEFORE ACCESSING THIS SITE, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT CERTAIN FEATURES OF THIS SITE MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY WITHOUT THE AID OF WEB COOKIES. IF YOU REFUSE WEB COOKIES, YOU ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY RESULTING LOSS OF FUNCTIONALITY.
In order to enhance your experience when you visit our website, we participate in the Google Interest-based Advertising Program ("Program") to ensure the advertisements on this Site correspond to your interests. We do this by working with Google and other Program participants who, like us, place ads on our Site and those of other Program Participants. We then share the information we collect using Web Cookies placed in your browser in order to provide you with targeted advertising when you visit the Site. You may opt out of Google's use of cookies by visiting the Google Advertising Opt-Out Page.
A "Web Beacon" is an object that is embedded into a web page. It is usually invisible to you but allows site operators to check whether you have viewed a particular web page or email communication. We may occasionally place Web Beacons on pages of this Site.
You may not decline Web Beacons. However, they may be rendered ineffective by declining all cookies or modifying your browser settings to notify you each time a cookie is tendered and permit you to accept or decline cookies on an individual basis.
We analyze Non-Personally Identifiable Information gathered from you to help Us better understand how this Site is being used. By identifying patterns and trends in usage, we are able to better design this Site to improve user experiences, both in terms of content and ease of use. We link information gathered using Web Cookies and Web Beacons to Personally Identifiable Information.
From time to time, We may also release the Non-Personally Identifiable Information gathered from you in the aggregate, such as by publishing a report on trends in the usage of this Site.
As defined above, "Personally Identifiable Information" is information that can be directly associated with a specific person or entity. We will only collect Personally Identifiable Information that you knowingly submit to us. We will not disclose Personally Identifiable Information to any third parties, except under the limited circumstances specified below.
