disclose, manage, and store the Personal Information that you may

passively through the use of cookies or image tags on our website. This
Policy applies only to the Personal Information collected by this

Your continued participation on this Site indicates
your acceptance of this Privacy Policy and of the collection, use,
disclosure, management and storage of your Personal Information as
described below. We may from time to time, transfer or merge any
Personal Information collected off-line to our online databases or
store off-line information in an electronic format. We may also combine
Personal Information we collect online with information available from
other sources, including information received from Advertisers, or
marketing companies. This Privacy Policy covers all such Personal
Information and will remain in full force and effect as long as you are
a user of the Site.
We reserve the right to revise this
policy at any time by updating this posting without advance notice to

GENERAL PRIVACY
GUIDELINES
Please be aware that any Personal Information you
transfer to us will be transferred to the U.S and subject to U.S. law.
By using this Site, participating in any Site activities, and/or
providing us with your Personal Information, you consent to this
transfer of Personal Information to the U.S., and waive any claims that
may arise under your own national laws. All users of the Site are
required to provide true, current, complete and accurate Personal
Information when prompted and we will reject and delete any entry that
we believe in good faith to be false, fraudulent, or inconsistent with
this Privacy Policy.
In the event that the
assets or stock of MCP or parent company are sold or transferred,
merged with a different company or entity, restructured, or subject to
other fundamental changes, we reserve the right to disclose any and all
databases compiled from Personal Information collected by MCP to such
successor. We will seek to obligate the successor to agree to the terms
of the Privacy Policy, as it may hereafter be modified, but cannot
guarantee that we will be able to do so or that the successor company
will comply with this obligation.
WEBSITE COLLECTION, USE, AND DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL
INFORMATION
Generally, you may browse this Site without
providing any Personal Information. For certain activities the Personal
Information you voluntarily provide may include your first, middle and
last name, home address, email address, telephone number, age, or
personal preferences, depending on the activity.
We use your Personal Information to provide you with the features
or services you request and to respond to other such questions related
to the Site. (We explain below what our policy is for the collection,
use and disclosure of Personal Information to Advertisers in the
Disclosure
to Advertisers section below).
We may
also use your information for business purposes, or to find out how we
can improve our Site via surveys or online tracking mechanisms. We use
aggregate Personal Information to help us to evaluate and modify
existing services and features. We also use your Personal Information
to develop new services and features that may be of interest to
you.
We will share your Personal Information
with our company parents and affiliated entities primarily for business
and operational purposes. On occasion, we will share your Personal
Information with related entities for promotional and marketing
purposes and you will have the right to Opt-out of such use.
It is also necessary that we share your Personal
Information with our operational service providers, the specialists
that provide internal support to MCP operations and activities and/or
for Site design, development, hosting and operations including
maintenance, management, storage and/or fulfillment of various
contests, services, and online promotional activities. We use
operational service providers to efficiently provide the full range of
content, activities and ad services we bring to you and we request that
our operational service providers also protect your privacy and not
disclose your Personal Information to third party marketers that are
not associated with MCP or its website. Additionally, such providers
are not to use your Personal Information for their own marketing or
promotional purposes unless expressly allowed by us as a means of
providing you with the services or product choices that you
requested.
DISCLOSURE TO ADVERTISERS
Please be
informed that when you submit your Personal Information to MCP we may
transfer that information to third-party marketing partners who will
offer products or services that we believe may be of interest to
you. Be aware that these Advertisers may not have the same
privacy policies that we do. Therefore, you will need to tell
us if you do not want to receive marketing information directly from
third-party Advertisers. You may opt-out of this third party disclosure
by contacting the Site’s Privacy Administrator at
privacy@mortgagecreditproblems.com.
You will also need to tell us if you do not wish to receive marketing
or promotional materials from the Site in the same manner.
Please be aware that we may continue to contact you
via email for administrative or informational purposes. By
law, such messages are not considered to be commercial email.
We are not responsible for removing your Personal
Information from third party lists or entities which you have
previously authorized us to share your information. You will need to
contact those entities directly.
COOKIES AND IMAGE TAGS
The use of cookies is an
industry standard and they are currently used on most websites,
including this Site. Cookies are a small text file containing a unique
identification number that is transferred from a website to the hard
drive of a user’s computer so that the website administrator
or a third party operational service provider may identify the computer
and passively track the user’s activities on the website.
Image tags work in conjunction with cookies and are small image files
that may be located on select pages of our Site, or within web-based
email newsletters that we may send. (Image tags are also called web
beacons, web bugs, clear GIFs or single-pixel GIFs.) Tracking is
important because we can better understand what parts of our website
are used the most, when to launch new services and how to enhance
current offerings. We may share the information we receive from cookies
and image tags with third-parties and our Advertisers in aggregate
form, which means that such information does not contain specific
Personal Information about any one visitor.
You
can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie or image
tag is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all such devices. This
is done through your browser. If you turn cookies off, you may not have
access to many features at our Site that make your Internet experience
more efficient and enjoyable.
CHILDREN’S PRIVACY POLICY
Although
persons of all ages may visit our Site, we do not knowingly or
intentionally collect Personal Information from children under the age
of 13. We will automatically reject and delete the entry of any person
we believe in good faith to be under the age of 13.
MONITORING AND USE OF AGGREGATE PERSONAL
INFORMATION
We reserve the right to monitor and edit any
Personal Information about our users, including information about the
use of website activities and services, the contents of users email and
messages for internal purposes, and when necessary, to disclose to law
enforcement personnel, and/or Internet Service Provider of a user that
is not in compliance with the Privacy Policy. We will take such
measures if we believe it is necessary to protect the security,
integrity, and operations of this Site. Without disclosure of Personal
Information about individual users, we may provide aggregate statistics
about our users, traffic patterns and related website information to
Advertisers, reputable third party vendors or marketing
companies.
ADVERTISING AND OTHER
THIRD PARTY CONTENT
This Privacy Policy does not cover third
party advertising or third party content that may be present on the
Site. This Site may provide banner and general advertising, in addition
to other content provided by our Advertisers or operational service
providers. Users may from time to time purchase goods or services
offered through, or otherwise participate in or send messages
concerning such advertising, promotions or third party content offered
through the Site. Such correspondence, transactions and agreements are
solely between the user and the Advertiser or the third party content
provider and do not involve the Site. Also, Advertisers and such third
party content providers may not have the same privacy policies that we
do and you are encouraged to read their privacy policies first.
HYPERLINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES
This
Site often provides links to third party websites that could be of
interest to our users, including the websites of our Advertisers. This
Site does not own or control these websites and therefore, is not
responsible for the content, business practices, or operations of such
websites. Third party websites linked on this Site may have different
privacy policies and business practices than we do. The presence of a
link to a third party website does not constitute or imply our
endorsement, recommendation, or sponsorship of the third party content,
goods, or services available through, or contained on, the Site. By use
of this Site, you have agreed that you will use the hyperlinks to third
party sites at your own risk.
SECURITY MEASURES
We conduct the collection,
management, maintenance and storage of website user information in a
secure and commercially reasonable manner using acceptable industry
standards of security technology and practices (such as electronic
security systems and password protections) to protect against the loss,
misuse or alteration of Personal Information. We also request that our
operational service providers take such precautions.
However, please note that when users transmit Personal
Information over an unsecured Internet connection, the Site is not
responsible for the security of that information during the
transmission stage as your email or registration could be copied or
intercepted by unknown third parties. Therefore, you
understand, acknowledge, and agree that you transmit certain Personal
Information over this Site at your own risk.
This Privacy Policy was last updated on July 9,
2009, and is effective immediately.
